Premium Members Erik Brul Posted May 14, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) Hi all, Did a corperate today, needed some lowmode shots. First time with this Rig, so did the quick option, upside down Camera. Flip function did work, mirror don't... Is this a known problem with the Flyer Sled.. and how do i resolve this ? Thanx, Erik Edited May 14, 2007 by Erik Brul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members chris fawcett Posted May 14, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hi Erik, Yes, this is a known problem. The problem is you didn't know about it in time. I understand that Tiffen will be happy to correct it. Surely you didn't flip the monitor as well? It should have been OK just inverting the rig and tilting the monitor bracket. All the best., Chris I'm back in town for a couple aof weeks, so give me a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this tried the mirror function, on/off no difference. More bad luck.., the protection rubber on the gimbal which prevents scratches between gimbal and handgrip on the post went of. Can this be clued with fast glue, or don't bother.. and leave it of. Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinThwaites Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hi Erik Send an email to my desk and I will pick it up when I get back from Russia next week. Re the rubber bumper, just glue it back on. Super glue will do it but makes the rubber go hard and I don't like super glue around gimbals, EvoStik (rubbe rbased impact adhesive) would be better.

Robin Today i received a complete new monitor from Tiffen. I was just returned from a corperate shoot and put directly the monitor on the Rig. Miror is now possible and works great. The shot last week went however well and was great considering the mis-orientation of left/right.. Thanks Robin and thanks to Tiffen for this great customer service !!!

Best, Erik Hi Erik You are welcome, I thought the alternative mirror brain flip surgery might be a bit drastic. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
