Precisely.

The problem with these cables is that the right-angle mini connector sometimes angles Down and sometimes angles Up. I know, I have three. Two Downs and one Up. What this means is that the angled bit will either route the cable down or route it up. Down is not always great because it can foul the...

Okay, I've got my butterfly net ready. Let us know when you open the cage door.

One point on the CX7XX slightly soft image, it does crisp up very well with software sharpening. An extra post process but reasonably benign. If you are reasonably satisfied with the Canon, keep using it. If you are not, consider a GH2 anyway. Nobody yet knows what the GH3 is going to deliver -...

Personally, I think you are planning to carry an FS700 with the wrong airframe, never mind the camera mount. The standard AD-8 HLE, with 410mm booms and 12" props, was touted (on the official Droidworx spec sheet) to be a suitable platform for the Canon 5D. That equates to approximately 1.7kg...

yawn.

So actually, I was entirely correct. The ground footage does not count. We know it was taken with a CX because you told us and is therefore not part of the game. The way I wrote it is a bit confusing but I got the times exactly right! Thank you very much. The CX is not difficult to tell apart...

Probably. Mind you, setting infinity focus is not that simple with these stupid cameras. It is much more reassuring when the lens focus ring has an end stop or there is at least a focus bar on the screen. They have neither. The only aid you have is the 'Peaking Level' and 'Peaking Color' (Setup...

Neither of which are much use. They are too short and the straight mini-HDMI plug will be unusable in many gimbals due to lack of space to access the connector on the side of the camera. You want one of THESE - unless you can find one of the Freefly angled cables where the angle is horizontal...

Oh goody, a party game. So, I'd say the CX made its first aerial appearance at 1:09 before the GH2 took over again at 2:05, then the CX came back at 2:35 until 2:43 and then CX took it home from 3:08. ?

There are short, angled miniHDMI to HDMI cables available. I found them on eBay. There is a brief mention on connectors and cabling for the HDMI converter HERE and there are more detailed instructions somewhere with pics of the opened converter box. Good luck finding that. It might be in the...

Just leave it on Auto. Do you have another camera with HDMI out to try? The big ungainly, metal-boxed HDMI converter has been known to be a bit selective with which cameras it will work with for. Perhaps your FF item has the same problem. As I said before get in touch with Freefly. They took...

Ah, some light! Never heard a good word about the 10CHP.

Fair enough. Maybe - just for once - I have been fortunate with the Futaba 12Z. At the time I wanted to buy a 12Z they had stopped selling it in Europe because it was harming sales of the (truly dreadfully clunky) MZ14 and I had to get it from Singapore or somewhere. I was very impressed with...

Look at the previous comment. That's another reason I sent it back. The Battery! You will find that you have to fork out for a battery charger - if you can find one - because the CX730/40/60 is not supplied with one. Charging is direct to a socket on the camera so, unless you can find a...

As these threads tend to waffle on and things can quickly get buried you can be forgiven for not knowing about this gentLED issue, which has been revealed quite some time ago. With the Sony NEX series the gentLED-SHUTTER will not work IF the HDMI cable is connected and the camera is in...

Why are you not contacting Freefly directly? They took the money, they should make sure it works.

I changed four years ago from a JR 9303 to a Futaba 12Z because the Futaba has vastly superior functionality. This is important if you need to organise a lot of channels into sensible switch grouping. It has very versatile switch assigning, to the ridiculous extent that you can fly using only...

MEGA OIS is limited to Level One for movies with the GH2 – you probably already know that – and is pretty much comparable to the 'Steady Shot' system of the Nex-5n under most circumstances. However, the GH2 is light years better in a pan with OIS turned on than the Nex – or any other camera that...
