Electronic level/horizon indicator

Robin - received it today. Mounted it up and took it for a spin. Wow ... what a difference. Love it already.

The latest Wagner Horizon (WHM-BG) software update--now shipping--, has a few nice improvements: enhanced compensation for static horizon angle error over temperature, down to fractions of a degree -- Once you zero it to your rig it should be good all day long. Also improved: after a very dynamic and/or large tilt roll pan move the unit recovers true level even more rapidly-- typically less than a second. Finally: upgraded rejection of acceleration errors while rotating about any axis -- even if sensor box mounted away from post center.

 

Hi Steve - is there any way to determine what version of sw is loaded on a given unit, and if it's the latest? Something like powering on with a button combo etc?

 

thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris, not in current units but that's a good idea! Will definitely consider it for future releases.

At this point I would say contact Tiffen about your unit and they will be able to tell you what version you have based on when you received it.

I am using Transvideo's Virtual Horizon 2 in a 8 inch CineMonitorHD eSBL with real time movment compensation and shock filtering , it is amazing because the movements of the level are fluid like a liquid bubble but with the very usefull on screen reads . shock and accélération compensation let you have a very quick response leveler without the problems of a bubble trembling. In hard mount configuration it’s absolutely necessary.

i've see that Transvideo introduced during IBC a new 9 axis wireless version, I'll try it as soon I can and tell you about it just right here :)
