Living the Dream, One Frame at a Time

Used my Crystalsky 5.5 in 90-95 degree heat this week, Florida Peak sun. Got hot around the edges, functioned flawlessly, fan whirring away. OK in Peak sun (adjust angle for bright colored clothing glare)... I always wear a charcoal or black shirt with iPad. I tried the CS without the protective...

Maybe I'm getting soft with old age. Folks are nice, a young company with growing pains. I get it... ex the cap all is well... I believe they should press DJI Care and parts stores down to 5-10 laggest dealers. Cycle time and variability would drop. All the niceties aside, I just wish the would...

There is a known issue with older firmware in Ollies. If you can't pop them in a m43body and tether for update. Olympus will flash me for $25 usd....

Soon I hope. I would like DJI to release them and the larger CS before I get shoved in a nursing home.... I'm in my 50s....

Love DJI Care. Works perfectly...BUT... they returned my I2. Without the gimbal cap (airframe socket filler) 35 days later, 4 sets of images of cap, socket, approval, apologies, shipping coming, I just got another request for a photo. Hey Advexure... Can I just buy one from you guys?

Wait till you plug in your 3G/4G Verizon dongle. Powers up fine. No driver in DJI version. I had a long chat with "tech support" (NOT)... Nice 5.5 monitor for Mavic. So much for dongle, will move to 6620L, Works best in remote areas... Looking fwd to 7.85Ultra for my I2. Big storage. Oddly...

No softness to note, sometimes in compound zooms, dropping a stop cleans the edges, Also zooms like these can suffer from "well my copy is fine" inconsistency, like the Canon 100-400, Tamron 150-600, or the Pentax 16-50. All great lenses, with a "lottery" risk....

Hi... I use the Panasonic 14-42 PZ for high quality golf course shoots. The optics are very good, and the power zoom works well with the handwheel2 for smooth slow precise zooming. Works fine with iPad mini as well.... I use a B+W MRC xspro UV in 37mm, with the br-6 ring and a glassless Tiffen...

Other than mount and connection, they seem similar Ex cable. My guess is the piezo/ rheostat inside are similar. I am still trying to figure out the "LENS" button, between lighted/ flashing/ dark. It does not launch any window in Go4, and seems to render the wheel inactive in one setting-...

We use Hill and Usher as agents. They do our photo biz (GA, Lit, Equipment, WComp) through Tokio Marine. On Aircraft we got a joint (me as individual and her biz), GA, Lit, Pers Inj, Air Ops, $1mm AnyAircraft, $5000 hull on Inspire2/ gimbal, worldwide coverage, from Global Aerospace. $1298 usd...

All they need to do is get their tripod adapter guy to buy with no flange. And metalurgically speaking, brass is better than SS on this application...

I am a VERY happy customer with Handwheel2 on my I2 RC. It solves many issues, including my tapping on the iPad 4 mini for focusing... Issue: When my handwheel 2 arrived (7/1/17) the screw mount would not engage tightly with the rosette in the handwheel, being 2-3 mm not deep enough, so...

On the X5s gimbal, I have read a bunchof great material and used it to refine my operations. Some postings looked at rings, I am looking at balance and filters, and how the X5s behaved... My "partner" on this journey has been a 1000gm (0.1 increment) Jewler's scale... DJI (Leica) OEM 15mm...
