I need to get my Genio batteries recelled, can anyone recommend somewhere in th UK that can do this please? My batteries have finally given up! Andrew.

Recelled about 3 years ago. Fast charger not charging too good now actually, must be the cells!

My Genio batteries used to charge up fine using the mains trickle chargers. I have noticed recently that both batteries fail to take any charge at all from them. I have resorted to using the 'quick-charger' which works and gives them enough charge for the day. Being that I have 2 trickle chargers and both have stopped working at approx the same time, I am more inclined to think that the problem is with the cells in the batteries. Has anyone had a similar experience? Why do you thinks the trickle chargers don't work and the quick-charger does? Can anyone shed some light on this problem? Andrew.

I was watching some of my shots go out on Corrie the other day and noticed on some of the faster tracks, the image had a constant fine vibration throughout. Had to watch it back just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I can't help thinking that something is loose on the rig, anyone any ideas? Andrew.

Jason, This is how the mk-v hummingbird comes, it will fit in the Marell mount a treat! (Marell also make these spigots.) I see no reason why it won't be as solid as the original crt. Andrew.

Pictures of Marell's Master - lcd bracket. It doesn't get any more sturdy and rigid than this! Andrew.

I spoke to Marell last week, their lcd is still very much a prototype, I suspect it won't look much like the picture above. However I am going to pop over this week and see if I'm allowed to look at some specs, will let you know. Incidently, I have just received my Master - lcd conversion bracket from Marell and it is a fine piece of engineering, it is a new design which isn't on their website yet. It is so well designed that it looks like a peice of the original kit, I'm sure they'll be very popular. Andrew.

Nick, I hear on the grapevine that Marell are bringing out a 16:9 lcd monitor in the not too distant future, they do some nicely engineered brackets for mounting too. Might be worth checking that one out before you decide? :ph34r: It is in development, so don't expect pictures yet! :ph34r:
