Why indeed! The fact that our particular group of customers has one or two slightly less than standard requirements does not change the reality that every single consumer camera out there has something really stupid about it, either in what it has or what it does not have. Regardless of the...

Neat battery solution. After struggling with the HDMI feed, and finally resolving it with the little plastic cased Mini Converter, I too was dismayed to discover that when set to record at 720p50 the GH2 reverts automatically to 1080i50 when an HDMI cable is connected. It doesn't even have to be...

You are not alone. I have catalogued the most mind boggling list of DOA, faulty, wrong item over a five year period. Practically every single thing, no joke, practically EVERY SINGLE thing I have ordered to do with the whole helicopter project has had to be replaced, repaired, refunded ... quite...

It is presumably an issue with that particular type of converter. All the time I was having a blue screen others were saying it worked fine. Now we know why. The 'others' were likely using NTSC. Anyway, the mini converter works fine with PAL. As for power, most us are modifying it and feeding...

Not "would be", 'IS".:)

Not casting judgement either way, but isn't that a bit like the bikers posting their GoPro 180mph vids and in the process giving the police all they need to make the arrest?

Capital letters : Flip Of Death There is a thread somewhere that talks about it that shows videos of SJ-800's flipping about and somersaulting into the lake/ground/bushes. I gather it is an expression that has come to describe a problem that afflicts mainly the SJ800 with recent Wookong-M...

Haven't had practical experience with it but I did see it up close at this very store* a couple of weeks ago. It is certainly made well enough but it is not intended to be anything more than a holder for the GoPro. The Tilt and Roll functions work in so far as they move the camera in the two...

I enjoyed that little romp.

Hmmm, velly interlesting. But like you say, wouldn't want to give up the OIS without a fight. At the moment I am doing everything at 720p50/60 but if I do get a Zenmuse there will be a bunch of issues to overcome. Difficult to organise a separate monitor cam but the built in HDMI will switch...

Time to dust off this thread and air it again. Most of the hacks (that I know of) claim that they will not span in 1080 with Panasonic lenses. So, if Panasonic lenses don't work, which ones do? More specifically, which 'wide angle' lenses do?

All sounds great. I wonder how long the battery would last? Three minutes?

Yep. And there went the fun .....

Multi-rotor technology is both a marvel and a curse and I can't help but find those vids vaguely depressing as it documents the subversion of a combined fascinating hobby (r/c helicopters) and a skilled profession (aerial photography) by idiots, ignoramii, and dirty little anarchist french...

Some of his (Drew Network) videos are very amusing, just because of his style of presentation. Although he can be a bit of a windbag and keeps repeating himself. The GH3 has had a very lukewarm reception from the hack community and most reviews I have seen are not exactly hell-for-leather...

Check how much sideways space you will need for cable connectors. It usually the stonking great plugs that prevent many cameras from fitting into camera mounts.

The Norfolk Southern Corporation operates a vast railroad network that serves the entire United States. With seventy-plus depots it ranks as one of the largest. This short teaser clip was filmed in the rail yards of Atlanta, Georgia and the small picturesque southern town of Norcross...

Nice locations. France is great for this - quite apart from the cheese, wine and sexy women ! - the country is littered with picturesque castles, ruins and Ye Olde villages next to rivers. Love it.

This footage is reminiscent of what I often get raw with the AV200/3X combo. It is basically pretty good but the roll axis always feels somehow loose. It does a reasonably good horizon levelling job but cannot soak up the tiny, almost imperceptible movements and it is this that lends the vaguely...
