Premium Members John Joyce Posted February 4, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I was viewing the monitor with a slight tilt up from a flat tabled position ( maybe 10-15 degrees) and when tilting the sled the image became difficult to see at the extreme tilt positions. Was wondering if the 2nd gen monitor has the same characteristics? Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members chris bangma Posted February 4, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 The 7" monitor has 85 degree viewing all the way around, so you shouldnt have any difficulty seeing the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members John Joyce Posted February 4, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Thanks for info Chris, I'll try to come by and take a look next week if you think you will have a demo unit available. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members John Joyce Posted February 4, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Just out of curiosity...how does the 85% view ability on the Gen 2 compare to the Gen 1? Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members chris bangma Posted February 5, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 The 7" screen on the Gen1 and Gen2 is the same. The 6.5" gen1 had more limited viewing angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members John Joyce Posted February 6, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Thanks for the info Chris, I'm anxious to see the new monitor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Robert Starling SOC Posted February 6, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 In direct overhead sunlight with the monitor laying flat on the ground I've been able to walk completely around it from 10 ft back and still see a good working image from every angle.  I know it's been a long wait for everyone but Chris and Mike are dedicated to producing the ultimate monitor for us. It's been a much longer road than they expected chronologically and financially for them. Where most if not all monitors use off the shelf components throughout, Chris and Mike found that those components simply didn't withstand or perform at the levels they aspired to. The same goes for suppliers, parts vendors, programmers and engineers. Their current vendor support system plus the new facility will resolve that and bring most of processes in-house.  Please bare in mind and remember all the stabilizer product vendors that have come and gone over the years; so many over-promising and under delivering. The ones who have stuck and provide top level, no-excuses products and support like Bartech, Preston, Anton-Bauer, XCS, PRO, Transvideo, Klassen, Hill Products, Cine Widgets, Lentiquip (Canatrans), Cramped Attic and a handful of others didn't just poop out products overnight and most if not all of them had to bring primary design and manufacturing in-house. They were worth the wait and have stood the test of time. In your interest and the interest of a quality product that delivers and lasts, Chris and Mike have spent extraordinary amounts of their own money (no loans) to do the same.  My apology to any of the other great companies (and you know who you are) that I inadvertently forgot to mention but I'm still not quite through my first few sips of espresso this morning. ;-)  "Patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet" ~ Jean Jacques-Rousseau  Have a lovely day and please come say hi to me in the Angenieux booth at NAB.  Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members chris bangma Posted February 15, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Another update. We have one bug with the scaling on the HD-Sdi that we should have resolved next week. Once we load this into the monitors, they will be ready to go, and we will start shipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members sasha proctor Posted February 23, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Has anyone received a monitor yet? Are they shipping? Are you guys going to send out emails to let us know where we stand on the wait list with our pre orders? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Benjamin Verhulst Posted June 25, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 On that note - has anyone gotten in contact with them in the last two weeks?
