Good to know, thanks

I was way behind on the whole GH2 hack thing and could not get much info on it all - with the notable exception of yeehawnow who always responded to my pleas. It was his suggestion to try the Sanity5 hack. Having worked out how to get hold of it and load it the only real confirmation that it had...

What a fabulous movie and what a hell of a project to be involved with. Thanks for that link. I feel that word coming on. You know .... the Americans love it .... AWESOME!

Nothing like that - I hope. My AD-8 started off with Vislero flat LiPo's and an SLR2 mount. Then, when it became necessary to carry an HDMI converter around for the NEX and the GH2 I added another storey to accommodate it. This all meant that the camera was getting really close to the ground...

I have not yet been able to assess the pan with the AV200. It is disconnected and bolted down as everything with the MR is done solo. I fully expect it to be uninspiring! The supplied servo is as slow as I have ever seen. As for Roll and Tilt, one learns to live within the limitations and fly...

I don't disagree with your 720 vs 1080 point. My preference with GH2 is also 720p50. The recent Château du Viviers video was shot with the GH2 at 720p50. However, you have missed the point somewhat. For the purposes of that comparison the cameras had to be set as similarly as possible and there...

This is a known limitation that may be addressed, as I understand it, in v.57. The same thing happens with the MK FC camera control. With quick movements the Roll horizon is stabilised but with extended sideways flight the camera leans into the direction of travel after a few seconds. Two...

The Panasonic HDC-SD9 remains one of the physically smallest 1920 x 1080p25 camcorders. It is also unusual in that it was one of the last Panasonic consumer camcorders to feature 3CDD's before all manufacturers changed to the cheaper CMOS sensor. The significant advantage that CCD's hold over...

Well I am also waiting for the Radian problems thread to start. On paper it has pedigree but then, well, you know .... maths, software, bugs and problems etc are pretty platform agnostic.

Such a bizarre looking event with such weird and fantastic attractions. Must be like filming Alice in Wonderland. As for the filming itself, superb.

Me too. Invariably makes it extremely atmospheric. Very nice shots.

Hmm. The full extent of the manual capabilities that I found is: Manual focus or manual iris or manual shutter speed. You can set one of them and then as soon as you change one of the others to manual the previous one returns to auto. The camera has now been returned so I cannot re-check but it...

A bit of contretemps there: " very very simple .... mountain of videos ". Oh well, we'll take your word for it.:) The CARVEC issue was not really "sorted out", more identifying likely cause of the issue and what ultimately looks like a software limitation necessitating a workaround. With JC...

I knew that John Cunningham had been collaborating with Tabb and 2+2 seemed to add up to the Radian being the fruit of that partnership. I use his CARVEC system on the big Copterworks Heli. And you are right. He is a real gent. What is the setup procedure of the Radian like? The CARVEC system...

Time to start clearing my enormous stock of gear. This MK Octo flies well and without issues. Too many other distractions mean that it sits doing nothing. It is in perfect shape, is very well built, has never been crashed and has all the little extra bits that everyone eventually discovers they...

It is time for a virtual garage sale. Just far too much gear sitting around doing nothing. One of the items will be a NEX 5n kit. All in as new condition, 18-55 zoom, 16mm pancake, each lens with a UV filter, flash, 2x batteries, 2x chargers, gentLED shutter release, gentLED LiveView...

Bloody excellent. Remind me of your rig again? It is certainly working well!

Mini portaloo. Maybe a question of availability of the GH2 version?

I am totally mystified as to why DJI have gone to all that trouble to make a 360° gimbal that seems to work very well indeed and then left ugly, plonker fixed skids that get in the way all the time if pan is used. Baffling.
