Motorized timelapse options for varavon slider?

ICProductions — Sat, 23 Aug 2014 15:05:31 +0000

Hey PV! Are there any options/alternatives to the motoroid/timeroid for the varavon sliders (specifically v800)? Are there other brands/systems that work ?

I'm mainly wondering about the Konova Motorized Kit B that comes with the crank as well. It seems a better value and can be upgraded as I go.

I've also been entertaining DIY and have read numerous ideas, including this one - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m5_ZQCQj7sg.

(He doesn't talk about how to attach it to the carriage at all, I'm thinking of buying the varavon weight pulley because it has a plate that fits)

Does anyone have examples of DIY for the varavon ?

Also - going the DIY route - is it a better design to have the have the motor on an end or with the carriage?

A77ii firmware into A77 update?

Sadnakupa — Sat, 19 Dec 2015 05:37:03 +0000

Would it not be nice to be able to update the old a77 with the new the a77ii firmware update. Is it possible to modify the firmware so it would fit the a77 requierments?

There are simple features like intervalometer, jpg engine(iso noise) and so on that could be used in old a77 to.

Thank for your work so far with Sony firmware repacker tool. I can also offer some help if needed since i studied IT science and have some programming skills.

Greetings Domen

Cranking frame rate on GH3

gh2simon — Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:33:55 +0000

So I finally broke down and got myself a GH3. Could almost not be happier with the ol' GH2, but the one thing I was missing was the higher frame rate for 1080p. Thing is, I bought the new camera in Sweden, and default settings do not include 60fps in either of the modes, only 50fps, I think. 50 is fine I guess, but it bugs me that I lack the slightly faster setting. Switching output from PAL to NTSC seemingly does not do the trick, and neither does updating firmware to the official "GH3__V12.exe" from Panasonic. Am I missing something or am I screwed? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Rings custom

Lens Upgrade
If you have ever shot with true cine lenses you know how useful it is to have a common front element diameter. I decided to get custom adapter rings made to upgrade still image lenses to a common front element diameter of 80mm. It's a must have item for everybody that shoots with still image lenses. Not only does it make your lenses look more professional, but most important it makes your life on set easier.

Next upgrade

I have the hacked G2 with full manual control on video, my only lenses are the 14-42 and an old Pentax SMC 50mm f1.8. My friend is selling me a used GH1 for £300 and i've been saving up to get the GH2, and i was thinking getting the GH1 and get the 20mm f1.7 or wait till i can save up more for the GH2 or stick with my G2 and expand on my lenses? i've been lookin at the samyang 35mm f1.4 aswell, the only thing thats putting me off from the 20mm is the focus by wire. what should i upgrade first?
