Premium Members Joe Broderick Posted April 29, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 A few pix of my old rig. I keep updating but HD may be the killer. It started out as a PRO 1. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m144/jo...di/IMG_0715.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m144/jo...di/IMG_0723.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m144/jo...di/IMG_0720.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m144/jo...di/IMG_0718.jpg I tend to use the LCD on stage but sometime if the conditions are OK I'll leave it on outside. I always go back to the greenscreen in low mode and add the 3rd battery. I went with the LCD to lose weight for video concerts and it lends itself quite nice to the LT - note the position of the gimbal. I can fly it with 4 blue canisters, although additional motors push the limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Mouraud Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hey Joey, Which Archos do you have ? Do you have a custom cable that starts recording along with the camera ? I'm very interested in your Archos setup... Any info much appreciated ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started out as a PRO 1. It looks like you have a snap-on toroid on the ARCHOS and another cable; were you having some form of interference issue?

Premium Members Joe Broderick Posted May 1, 2007 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I have the AV 500 as I think most ops have that one. The cable does not start the recorder but I did make the cable with help from this forum. As soon as I purchased this unit they of course came out with new model. The new one uses the H264 codec which is a better codec. The model I have uses a propritery codec that I feel is not very good. If you wanted to put aything on the archos you had to transcode it with some open source software. I would think the new software would work under quicktime or something similar without transcoding too much. as for the ferrite core I have some interference when using the deck - whether recording or playback. The video guy on the show thought it might help, it didn't . I'm pretty sure the problem is in the sled as I had the same problem with my GVU-5 8mm recorder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toni Tuominen Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hi, have anyone used archos 504 with steadicam use ? Do I need Archos DVR Station with 504 to get video footage from camera to archos ? BR Toni Tuominen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
