I agree, very nice software, especially the „timeline reference“ for the camera operators. But it can only be used if you have a pre-recorded soundtrack, some kind of choreography & professional artists. Or am I wrong?

Ich fahr einen Chevrolet Orlando. Motor ist der gleiche wie im Opel. R&D aus Rüsselsheim. Schalter/Instrumente wie im Astra. Hätte ich einen Hyunday gekauft wäre er aus Novosice (Tschechien) gekommen. Mein VW war aus Polen. But you´re right: My monitor should work. BON has a new Product Manager...

Mag ja sein, aber ich fahr seit 2 Jahren einen Koreaner und der ist besser als der VW den ich vorher hatte. Obwohl er ein gutes Drittel billiger ist. Bleibt nur: Das Beste oder Nichts! Ich bau jetzt bei der E Klasse von meinem Nachbarn das Navi aus und montiers auf der Artemis.......

I don´t want to publish the price, Jens. If anyone has the right to do this it is Jay who organized the group buy. He did a great job and I´m still thankful for that. The problem is now with BON. Some of the monitors have mechanical issues. Not mine but the 2nd one that went to Stuttgart/Germany has some. There is a software/firmware problem. Firmware updates & manuals should be on the BON site. The accessories Bon sells with that monitor are not made for steadicam use. The sun hood is much to heavy & bulky. The DTAP Plug is so soft. No problem to insert it the wrong way. The screen protector should have an anti-reflex coating. The monitor does have some really nice features. The scalable picture in picture feature for instance. It is possible to have a small window with the program signal inserted into the picture. This could make a separate program monitor obsolete. But as long as the software is so weak, I don´t have the confidence to use it for live work.

I tried to activate the Auto Flip (for low mode). The monitor was still upright. H / V changed instantly including the on screen menu. Trying to fix that with mirror letters upside down drives you crazy. After I had switched off auto flip the monitor worked. I changed the camera battery and when the SDI signal came back to the monitor it was completely H/V reversed, incl. letters and numbers on the on screen menu. Once again I was trying to find the Auto Flip button (still was off) switched it on, monitor worked. I switched the camera off and on, when the signal came back again complete H/V reverse…. I changed to my backup monitor. I fixed it again at home and since that time it is working. I did not find a way to do the V-flip manually. I can assign that function to F2 and toggle through the options. The OSD states H flip, V flip, H/V flip but nothing flips. Everytime I dock the rig to my (spring loaded) Sachtler bracket the signal disappeares for a moment. Comes back right away but this is not inspiring confidence. The bon website gives you informations like „What is the advantages if I use an on-camera monitor?“ but no manuals or firmware updates. I´m not very happy with the monitor.

The Pro manual states on page 20: Orientation of the socket block adapter assembly is critical in that, the Arm should never be mounted in such a way that the weight is applied parallel to the axis. This incorrect axis orientation is always present when using back mounted vests. Are there any known issuses caused by using a PRO Arm with a Klassen vest? Any modifications recommended?

Hi Kevin, 1.) DC „locking“ connector. You´ll have to get a custom cable which connects to your rig. 2.) Buy a new decimator 2. Maybe you´ll need the warranty, the decimator is not the most reliable tool. 3.) Velcro is fine if you got enough flat space on the back of your monitor. 4.) It´s BNC to BNC 5.) The problem with the Blackmagic is input voltage. The Blackmagic is made for 12 Volt. A fully charged LiIon outputs 16 Volts or more. The Decimator has a range of 5 to 22 Volts.

OConnor Model 50 D Fluidhead I bought this several years ago at Dedo Weigert, Munich. Dedo Weigert has been the German distributor for O´Connor until they became part of the Vitec Group. This fluid head was part of their demo units. Since I bought it, it stayed in the transport case, I never owned a tripod with a flat base mount. The fluid head is in a pristine condition, almost like new. It comes with the original O´Connor carrying case. Asking €500 / 650 $ pictures here, PayPal accepted if you pay half of the fee will ship worldwide contact: filmtv@gmx.de

SOLD! Thanks
