Thank you Bart for letting everyone know for THE LAST TIME about the gentLED/Nex/HDMI/Focus issue :). Those 6" and 8" cables look a little too short for our installations. I have been using a short right-angle mini-HDMI to HDMI cable from eBay UK shop CineGearPro. They are still selling them...

The recent trip to the Rift Valley in Kenya found the S800 had to work hard with the altitude and heat on standard DJI props. I don't really like them much and I agree about the nasty whistle they make. Does anyone have any idea what pitch they are? Anyway, they will have to be changed for...

With barely two weeks before leaving for Kenya the brand new Z15 was powered up and settled at all but a full degree off horizontal. Some frantic email exchanges brought about a creditable response from DJI China and the Zen was replaced. However, the replacement was not much different - except...

Found a nice new playground for the first test footage with an S800/WKM/Z15 rig. This sequence is a mixture of two early morning shoots around lake Elmenteita in the Rift Valley of Kenya. Absolute balance is critical with this Zenmuse camera mount. A few shots in this sequence display an...

Hi, I started the Panasonic thread and at some point was complaining about the same thing you are talking about. The GH2 would output HDMI direct to an HDMI equipped monitor or TV but not through the HDMI converter. Yet all other cameras I have worked with the same HDMI converter. The problem...

Apologies for the delay in responding. I am out and about with intermittent internet access. The roll bearing does look suspiciously like the McCarr item. As for the lack of shock absorbers etc., my belief is that the CW gimbal was designed before HD digital cameras were widely available. Tape...

Well mine do. Power applied to the v3 after the Rx and everything else is on does not produce this annoying feature.

Copterworks. It has been subjected to all sorts of mods - mostly around the suspension and vibration elimination - and is a pretty solid and basic design, but it is not fully compatible with many 'all-in-one box' stabilisation systems due to the Pan>Tilt>Roll hierarchy. The majority of 3-axis...

Well I have taken them off again because I am seriously unimpressed by the fact that the v3 retracts burst into action as soon as power is applied, if powered up at the same time as the Rx etc. This means an extra power cut-off switch is required so that power can be applied AFTER the rest and I...

To clear up any questions and doubts about the Secraft Retracts for S800 ... The first set of SE Retracts never gave me any particular problems, they certainly didn't get stuck, but good ole Sang immediately sent me v2 retracts anyway just because I wrote an email asking what exactly is this...

Tut, tut. You weren't paying attention when I was bitching about what the CX7XX series doesn't do. Can't help with the LANC thing, didn't get that far. I'd already sent it back for all the other aggravations.

Have you dealt with single-rotor camera ships before? Sometimes a series of photos is sufficient. There is absolutely nothing revolutionary about this rig. Align is belatedly jumping on the AP wagon with a customarily neatly CNC'd concoction of tired old ideas that will provide endless rubbish...

Ah, but he does have a sodding great empty peli case with a 'pro' carbon-look plate to mount his teeny-weeny screen and there is soooo much space to lay down the video receiver that someone forgot about when designing the installation.

Hmm, I wonder if the performance is as ... erm ... 'compelling' as the setup movie. Sorry Align but the GS800 rather has 'rubbish' written all over it.

This S800/Z15 rig is all due to be taken overseas and it has been getting uncomfortably close to the departure date and still non-operational with the troublesome Z15. But, I am happy to say that DJI China (yes, DJI China - not an agent) has directly responded to the issues with that Zenmuse...

Fortune favours the bold. Just jump in and buy a kit. There have been many posts with lists of components that are compiled after much research and which are then changed following responses and advice from other members. Sometimes a multi-rotor gets built and sometimes another list of 'ideal'...

One of the many reasons I could not live with the CX730. The BOSS lens and reasonably good image were just not enough to outweigh all the operational shortcomings, including this, the absence of a menu choice to display info on the a/v output. The awkward lens hood, touch screen only, in-place...

All that glitters is not gold ... and paying more for something does not always guarantee you are getting a better product. Have you tried connecting the camera's HDMI directly to an HDMI equipped monitor or TV? Do you have or have access to another brand of camera with an HDMI output? Run...

Loved it !
