a lot of good stuff too 8-))

my voice is for Actioncam RebelElit Vest too. Use it over 5 years, upgrade it to Carbon edition (all plastic parts changid to carbon). This upgrade helps me to survive under the 3ality)) For light cameras and small doors I use Actioncam Raptor Vest and Arm.

flying 3ality in Russia

We have a big Historical movie "Stalingrad" about WW2, and thy use three 3ality rigs small, mid and big... So small one is booking for steadi Job)

The most problem is Dynamic balance and Gimbal blocking by bottom camera. It is Red Epic rig with CarlZeiss UP, Focus/Irirs drives.

I use one 240IDX battery for the 3ality and top Epic and another 160IDX for bot Epic and Actionproducts HB monitor. It is good for 1,5 hour of flying.

I use the rotation ability of the Actioncam rods on full putting the titan rods on 45% with two independent SwapPacks. That's makes some possibility of Dynamic balance 8-)

Use full spring pack of RebelElit. I think that the weight of my sled with 3ality is about 34 kg

any good news? 8-)

Yes, I still using my Actioncam and have no plan to change it

You may see the photos in my Facebook account

I use my Actioncam for almost 4 years in Russia

It is worth every cent I put in it. I'm agree with Joshua. Just want to add the notes of the ability of any upgrade. You can use the RebelPro, and upgrade it to RebelElit with minimum money wasting.

You can't compare it with Archer, reasonable to compare it with Ultra and PRO, Klassen but it is the HiEnd, not the Archer segment. The quality is the best.

My 2 cents

We just add the virtual horizon to Actionproducts U-Lex FIZ, so we have a PAL video splitter (1 in, 1 out pass and 2 OSD out) frame line generator with presets and custom adjust in it, and now the virtual bubble.

At the same time it is really fast and powerful FIZ for any digital motor, 100 leans custom library, -30 +70 C working temperature, 3D mode.

At the end of November we'll be ready to upgrade all existing U-Lex units and assemble new as the custom desire

This swapPack could give you the ability to change battery on RED with out shutting it of http://actionproducts.ch/shop/product_info.php?cPath=3_18&products_id=101 the good side is that it has Red battery information line

don't switch off the equipment. use NiCa batteries or new LiIon in parallel commutation. Cower all unused holes by the tape. Cower every thing you can by the winter cloth but don't cower the ventilation. When you finish. Take all batteries away from rig, put it in the case and leave at the room temp for the 2-3 hours.

good lack 8-)

I like the toy helicopters, good idea, but try not to use so wide leans all the time, the distortion warp the picture.

fly safe 8-)

Hey Mike, I think Marco just asked what car he could get for under $10k and you replied "I have a Ferrari and it rocks!" Nice.

 

I am partial to the Bartech because the customer service is wonderful and it's a solid piece of gear for the money. But being in Europe it might be simpler to buy local?

 

rb

I use Bartech for about 2 years in Russia, BFD+M-One is the best combination for that money (chip, powerful and reliable)

As far as I know Actionprodacts sale its in Europe for the same price as Jim sale it in USA

good luck

Good try I like the body and the picture quality according the internet advertisement , but need lot of update. I can't understand how to manipulate the buttons in blind mode when it mounted to the sled.

I think now it's ammeter choice

This new HD monitor popped up on my Twitter feed. It probably won't compete with a full-on dedicated Steadicam monitor but for $1100 it has a lot going for it!

 

I could not find anything related to NITS brightness but it does HD-SDI / HDMI / Component. I wonder if it would play well with the new Canon HDSLRs?

It's unusable on steadicam 8-(

Yes It's "Optica Elit" Not bad for that money, but the open iris is useless. It's useable at 2.8 and soft at 2.0. Mechanically you need to be very attentive with it. Some of them are disassemble in hands, some time the distance marks is wrong. If you wont to purchase it new you have to get long time warrantee. Any way, they are chip, but for me second hand Distagons, or Cooke, or ... is better. We use it, because it next door made. And according to my experience the service are not so friendly 8-(

I can't recommend you to warm up your lens, in low temperature the result will be a condensate or you can get the ice inside of it. BFD is very good with M-One motor, but eating about 4 Amp at 12 Volt. I use NiCa batteries with my BFD at temperature lower then -10C. According to the ActionProducts U-Lex, I just begin testing it in Russian winters. Still no temperature problems, but I think if it down the -20 I'll change the power from 12 to 24-30 Volt. They make this mode for heavy conditions. I don't now if the Preston could work from 24V but if it can use NiCa batteries.

Good lack

todays test

-9-12C hum 81-78%

10 hours

No adjustable framelines though, correct?

We have presets and adjustable Pal frame line in U-Lex focus video splitter together with or without focus information superimpose

one more photo

What I want to know is when and how much is your U-lex(actionproducts?) Follow focus system that you also have mounted on your rig going to be available? Also, is there anywhere we can see a demo video of it?

 

On the note of the monitor.

I was recently in Switzerland and stopped by the Action products shop to see the High bright Monitor. Daryl and I went for a walk around outside his shop, with a Red and IDX transmitter and their monitor... I was very impressed at the view-ability in direct sunlight as well as anywhere else. as you can see from Max's photos.

The build of the monitor is superb. All CNC'd aluminum. The same quality as their Rigs. A very tough anti-reflective replaceable piece of glass is used to save the Lcd from any pokes from your favorite Director's or Dp's curious fingers. As well as a hard knock from anything else.

It has many connections. HDSDi to DVI which if you happen to use a 5d, 7d, or 1d mark 4 will easily connect via an HDMI to DVI cable... That is if your rig allows you to put different cables through the post. (ActionProducts rigs are set up to let you put anything you please through them.)

All in all The panel is very crisp High Resolution (1024x768) easy to use well built little sucker, Pretty weather proof as well... I wouldn't say waterproof because there are a couple of very small vents on the sides but you could probably get a little rain on it without having a heart palpitation.

about U-Lex. now it's on the final line of testing. Swiss people are perfectionists. As far as I know, they have some U-Lex for test drive in Switzerland in there office. Now I'll making the Russian Winter Test for both the monitor and U-Lex. I'm one of developers of this focus system. You know... When Brian and Daryl began to make there HD monitor one and half year ago, thy just wont to make the chip option for ActionCam. But this men can't do low end. The quality of picture, the angels, the body... all is excellent! As DP previously I use Transvideo HD 8 and always have a problems with angels and resolution quality and transvideo slowing visually about 2-4 frames. No slowing at ActionProduct HD 8 at all even at frost. Now Brian and Daryl together with us (software laboratory, MKBK and me) finishing the software tests. Hardware is ready 8-) What you see on the picts is the testing prototype.

What is the accessory on the rear of the camera which you have multiple plugs in?

One of the benefits of using ActionProducts with Red One is original power check up of Red from the Sled powerBoxes

You could also change the batteries one by one with out shutting the camera, and you can switch off the accessories by one batten on PowerBox powering the camera at the same time
