Jumpy, Played with both and I will say that the 12mm Olympus is amazing. Really nice quality and the snap focus ring is handy for aerial applications as you can lock it out and run manual focus at infinity. Its pricy but great glass.

Thanks.. read that the 14mm has a fly by wire focus ring.. so would be a pain.. shame as its a 1/3 of the price and half the weight...

Great… BUT what about answering the GH4 jumping. It still looks to me like its kicking in to FPV mode.
I know its a pain in the arse but I would just return it and get a replacement. We have all been WAY to tolerant of issues like this. The more we send stuff back the more DJI ail have to address issues.

Dave, issues on the Zen are being addressed by DJI. There should be new firmware out in the next 2-3weeks. I know you have heard that before but this came from the PM of the gimbal group. I am trying to get a sample of one of the GH4 gimbals that has this issue. Not all of them do it which makes the issue more difficult to isolate.

Thanks Ed for being so helpful and keeping all of us in the loop and in the air!!
How many times have I heard that
I had a bad 5D Zenmuse and I heard that SO many times, I bought the Zenmuse in January and had lots of emails about it, finally my dealer was kind enough to accept it as a return in June..
Even the European director contacted R&D department directly and they didn't even send him a reply..looking at the web site there has still not been any new releases since last year.
I also agree, send it back for a refund and purchase it again when its fixed, you never know you may even be able to get an S900 and Wookong thrown in for a few hundred more.

Yes. My GH3 gimbal does that. I can't figure out why it has to bang into the camera in the first place.

Easy? You call that easy?
So Lec (or Andy of course!), how was the footage from your GH4 Zenmuse? All tickety boo?

Hi ben.
ok I've actually managed to see some of the footage and I am pretty happy with the results. Certain the horizon hold seems bang on which was most important to me & I haven't had some of the unfortunate ones which have the glitches so it's certainly a positive move for me. There is a little discrepancy with the hdmi converter which I'm trying to get to the bottom of but not a massive one.
last big day of shooting for it's first project tommorow & the final clip should be out by the start of next week which I'll be able to share.
has yours turned up yet ben?

Great news!
No, I haven't. I should have it by Christmas apparently...

Zenmuse novice here, getting pretty good results so happy but can I just check something. When it's powered up with tx off (dual op set-up) it creeps on all axis and before I adjusted the trims it also creeped with tx on, so when left on its own it's very creepy...is this normal? Balance seems good.
Thanks
Pete

On the ground it creeps, but it shouldn't in the air. When are you seeing this creep? And is the receiver plugged in but the cam-op tx turned off? (that could cause it too)
Oh sorry, thanks for moving!
Until I compensated for the creep with trim It was creeping in the air and on the ground, tx on or off. It's fine now it's trimmed, good results, but just wondered if I had a wrong'un.

Well, I guess mine creeps a bit (old GH2 Zen). Barely noticeable though.
