Hello everyone,
since this is my first post I want to say hi and thanks upfront for all the great advises I have found in this forum so far.
In addition to Jess' post I'd like to add that I recently had the opportunity to fly the actioncam in it's very first design appraoch.
The little greenscreen wasn't working for me either. I googled it and the original model is for backview purposes for trucks...
I could have bought one on ebay for around 20 dollars...
But I rather attached a TV logic LCD in a fancy 'the-more-tape-the-better' way... anyways, it worked at last.
I think the major design flaws of the actioncam is the arm attachment to the gimbal, which you have to screw. That always left me in an uncomfortable position when "un-screwing"
while the sled is docked. The second would be the arm itself, although I have to agree that it flew nicely and the weight-range is superb. But if you're not carful the arm will snap
at the upper end of the booming range and you end up with the weight of the sled in your hands.... not the sled itself, though... ;)
For practicing purpose I taped a little panasonic camcorder to an Arri SR2 as seen below... I call it... well, the "Pan-arri"...
