With the ever increasing momentum of change and development in the tech race it is easy to feel one is always playing catch-up. Internet and forums are all very well but the information you seek is always spread around and very time-consuming to collate and assimilate. Having just entered the...

Double check that you are using the correct version of Toolz for the firmware loaded on the 3X.

$hit! For all the grumbles I have had with the NEX-5n at least it is operationally very friendly. After getting to know the menu system and sorting out user-shortcuts it is now very quick to work with and a photo job yesterday produced extremely adequate results. Rather surprisingly...

An expression has stayed with me and it always comes to mind every time I use the word assume. The expression is: To assume is make an A$$ of U and ME. I too 'assumed' the HDMI would output live video and guess what? It does! But there is a problem. I have started another thread on the subject...

I am well into my camera comparison ordeal and have currently reached camera number eight, the Panasonic GH2. The first thing is, WOW! Talk about sharp video images. Litterally everything else I have tried pales in comparison. But ... there is always a BUT. It has two video outputs (WOW again...

THANK YOU !! Now I get the weird expressions. I was beginning to feel like the class idiot. I just tried this GH2. OMG! What a difference. Even out of the box the video is so clean and sharp compared to everything else. Live monitoring is going to be a problem though. The AV output is...

A small drop of WD40 on the tiny button switch will restore firmware load mode capability. I had the same problem. WD40 was George's suggestion and it worked. Apparently the little switch dries out or something. Probably best to remove the top cover so that the WD40 can be directed just at the...

Are you using an HDMI converter board for live monitoring? If so, do me a favour please. Select auto focus on the NEX-5n, plug in the HDMI cable and turn everything on so that live video is transmitted and received and then try the gentLED shutter release and tell me if it works every time. If...

I am so impressed by the sheer detail of that GH2 image. It is razor sharp. Are you flying by line-of-sight, goggles or screen? Flying that high pretty much makes line-of-sight about the worst way! What altitude is that resort and how does it affect your flight times? I wish I could...

Something wrong with your 3X ???? How could that ever be ? (Sorry George, couldn't resist it):black_eyed:

Your FlashMagic window looks just like mine (of course with the exception of the COM port in use). So, I do not know what the problem is, sorry.

Coz I don't want to trash $1000 of kit. I'm waiting for you to do it.:)

Well I really enjoyed that little jaunt around the Dales. It looks like you're having some serious fun up there. I thought for a second you were going to go for the door in the wall at 01:15. What is the 'ReadyMade' FPV system you are using? Is that complete with decent goggles and patch...

When I bought the NEX and contacted James 'gentLED' he told me that there is no facility for remote video record, only shutter release. Well, he has discovered by accident that the NEX5 has a LiveView actuating facility similar to the Canon whereby a three position switch allows taking a photo...

I have version 6.03.2597 and it works fine with Parallels on a Mac. It is HERE if you want it.

I have seen this before and there is a healthy amount of B/S going on here. These boys certainly have lots of toys at their disposal, someone has money (except the money seemed to run out when it was time to buy a monitor hood - 01:05), but a lot of sins are concealed by running the RED at 300 fps.

Personally, I have never liked the idea of a separate camera for monitoring and this is one reason why. You have no idea if the main camera is working properly until after it is all over and too late. On this occasion the fault was mine. If I had been a bit more on the ball I would have realised...

I posted this vid before under a different thread. Find it on Vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/36091209 Really nice work. Love this sort of thing with long, unbroken sequences. Somehow I don't think they were using yer average quad !:)

I have been doing a photo job the last couple of days. As ultra resolution was not required I kept it simple with the NEX-5n on the AD-8 and this gave me a safe ten minutes per flight. I was unpleasantly surprised to find that half the shots I knew I took were not on the card. I checked the gear...

password incorrect What is the point of making videos 'private' anyway?
