I'm not so sure about that, I have bought several items and most times i try to get as much info as i can to make an informed decision however nothing turns up. Once i have bought the thing and used it then found an issue googling that provides a bunch of responses that weren't available with earlier queries. I suspect my search terms or the wording is inadequate somehow. I will say i haven't had the the issue the my cheaper sb that you have had, my issues have been different... I did just have a quick look at my m42 takumars, they all look to have slightly different length protrusions from the rear. Theres also 4 types of 50mm takumars from takumars to super takumars and a couple of smc takumars. If you have a micrometer we could do some math and figure out the differences. But that wont solve your problem.

Ok, here is the kitten footage about the only thing i did was zoom in a little as i wanted it to be more obvious what what happening in the first clip, i also stabilized the footage. Iphone 13 pro max was used. Not sure about the third clip, one day last week the iphone camera gave me grief all day. It jumped about, had focus issues. Quite bizarre, i have also noticed it flares abit oddly, i presume its time to put new lenses covering over it as when i examine the lens covering their starting to get scratched. I have since installed the raw cam app thats been mentioned in a forum thread and i'll give that ago shortly. The mission 1 has been in and out of its box, i charged the battery and updated the software and its back in its box as i want to do some kind of unboxing ceremony, kinda like a welcome to country thing 😀. You probably need to be abit aussie to grasp where my thought processes are going. The other issue is i seem to have misplaced a ball head adapter. I kinda had some ideas for its use, not a huge issue as i can work around it i think.

Any chance of you throwing a lut together for the mission 1 ? something atomic like potato jets but a little less over the top ? 🤪

Already working on that.. think i'll tape the gimbal to a stick to get closer to the kitten she's alot tamer now after a couple of weeks feeding her . i do have a few clips on the iphone 13 which i want to have a look at. I also now have that apple raw cam for the iphone which i want to try as well. so win win i guess.

Ok its official, i have no willpower at all... as you can see not $700 but that was expected. I like the little embargo sticker, talking to a saleman they were only allowed to start selling these from yesterday. Hn gave me a gift card of $100 so the grip comes down to $54 easy decision. I did take it out of the box to charge it up on the way home as i had a usb to c cable in the car. I do wonder if i'm going to need a better memory card, what i have now is probably a bit ordinary. Big day tomorrow it would seem. we'll find out tomorrow, i'll let the suspense build :)

How is that any different to any other camera manufacturer ? Canon gave us the cripple hammer and cameras that overheated because of a timer. If you have a list of 7 attributes for your forever camera, no camera manufacturer will give you all 7, perhaps 4 at best... Your correct, its because i tend to stick my head in the sand. It's a basic defense mechanism designed to help avoid additional financial trauma to my wallet.. That new laowa zoom seems interesting, i'll have to keep an eye out for that. I hope gopro don't go broke before they release the ils, as i would still buy it counting on the fact that my gopro 9 still works after i don't know how many years of ownership. I did rewatch the potato jet vid and i thought that the warping was better controlled / less obvious then previous models, anyone else notice that ? My oly 12mm probably wont work with mission1 ils but every other vintage lens i own should, whether they actually resolve to 4k or higher might be an issue. I'm trying not to over think it considering that with a 2.7 crop there's a chunk gone off the top, bottom and sides leaving the center portion which is usually the best bit, i'm prepared to call it character and live with it unless its a really obnoxious look. From what i have seen with those that have a ils to play with, it seems like they all had phones or monitors hooked up. So my first though was that it would have to be rigged to be useful. Which is about a 180 degree turnaround to how a normal gopro is used. That seems obvious to me and doesn't strike me as an impediment at all. I mean look at all the smallrig accessories potato jet had at his disposal.

You may or may not have see this, Adapter with Native AF Speed!? Only works with a g7 or gh9 ii no others it seems. Available for about 100 lenses but works with some others just as not quick it seems. on futher reading Olympus E-M1 series and OM System OM-1 series] Metabones transmits the same PDAF/IBIS data to the camera in the same way as the latest Panasonics, and gets a significant boost in AF speed

I've been a bit lax of late, i did get away for easter to a little country town called roma. They had a lot of car themed things happening for the weekend but here's a couple of grabs from resolve from the main parade. We also seemed to have collected a feral kitten, no idea where she came from. No mother and no other kittens, but i think she has grown twice her size since mum started feeding her. The sheep have adopted her... i suspect i'm going too have to discourage her from stalking the chickens.

I am sure i have read / heard the internals are the same, so i presume its just different housings. Considering the pricing i guess which ever is dearer to make, takes a small hit on the profit margins. which is probably the mission1 ils, but then its probably going to sell less, so they can probably live with that. It is a niche product i think as well. I see the mission 1ils as a stepping stone. Once you have had a gopro or other action camera and done different things with it or if you have some kind of cinema expectations, you can become aware of some its limitations. I think the ils will help with bridging that gap perhaps even dragging things up a level. I suspect that you might even need two gropros the mission one for traditional gopro look and the mission 1 ils for the stuff the mission 1 cant do. Be interesting to see how things pan out. We have all seen some amazing stuff done with gopros however that all comes from a core group of people with a gopro , maybe 10% perhaps alot less then 10% i'm not sure. I was inspired by chris benchetler chasing el nino a series on snow skiing enough to buy a gopro 9. I realize he had a whole crew and helicopters to help however the gopros used for the pov was amazing. The only issue not a lot of snow around here... I'll have to continue with my thoughts later, got to go to town otherwise people are going to starve...🙄

Thats probably good thinking 🙂 when i did a quick google check on the mission 1 and variants the older model from the major store outlets are selling for less than $500 trying to clear old stock no doubt. Which makes me think what price could they actually sell a camera for ? I did look into the backbone at the time, however the crop put me off as i remember it being like a 5 times crop ( i could be wrong about that) rather than the 2.7 crop from the mission1 compared to a crop of 2x from a normal mft mount. My oly 12mm would become like 32mm, my 24mm sirui would become almost 65mm which is certainly something to think about. The 17mm takumar i play with a bit would become 50mm. Not sure how to get a wide angle look on a mission 1 and a mft mount ? So far i think i have to find a lens around 6mm - not more than 9mm. Haven't seen any footage yet, but i suspect a speed booster should work either 0.64 or 0.70 to get you back close to a 2x crop or is my thinking flawed as i'm curious about that ? Of course this is all still theoretical as the mission1 ils is not yet available. What limitations are you expecting with a 1 inch sensor and passive mount, the lack of auto focus ?

It was better when you could buy stuff under $1000 and pay not additional taxes. Gerry Harvey complained to the government he was losing too many sales. Thats when the ten % gst got applied to everything and the government had a win and Gerry Harvey could suddenly afford a few more race horses as well. For awhile those overseas ebay buys were a bargain as the middleman got cut out out the deal. However i suspect the manufacturers or sellers have upped the base price regardless of middlemen or not and the savings aren't as spectacular as they once were. Ah ok, i read that as a reasonable (price) opposite of what you meant lol, although not sure what gopros have normally sold for over there. I think i paid $500-600 for the 9 when it came out. Confident i looked around for the best "local" deal. Playing devils advocate momentarily and to be honest i have no interest in the other models, a new chip, decent capacity battery it seems, and ability to mount mft lenses and that 1080 at 960fps even at 10 seconds is impressive, i think i would be happy to pay $700 even through its a jump over earlier gopros but it wont be $700 here, I'm expecting $1000-$1300 er i just googled mission 1 in aus. Seems like there here, except the ils gopro and its $1100 which might come as a bit of a shock to some of you 🙂

yer where you are... by the time it gets to here and converted to aussie $ then add a gst on top and whatever other hidden taxes there are and its not going to be $700 supposably there's a free trade agreement between you people and us... the reality is i suspect theres nothing free about trade.

yer me too, also still wondering about the pricing here in aus

I'm a little cynical about the whole (ai thing and what they call ai ) certainly there are coding improvements and other improvements that perhaps can maybe put down to Ai i'm not so sure. I think its a great selling point to call any product Ai enhanced whether Ai is superficially involved or not. Besides that i am confident if you buy any of the current models you would notice improvements, maybe not earth shattering improvements, but improvements none the less. Most likely small things like balance, handling, how easy it is to use that sort of thing. Most of the manufacturers are on their, second, third even fourth generation models. Safe to say they have all improved, however i doubt any of them are perfect despite what the youtube influencers would have you believe. I have no exp about the ai tracking that wasn't a requirement when i was looking. I know some cameras have predictive tracking, how that would integrate with a gimbal is above my pay grade. As far as i'm aware its still up to the human to pan, tilt and rotate. 🤔 I have a little gimbal suitable for iphones and gopros and not much else. When i use it, it works great, maybe my style or my needs are modest, certainly my skills are 🙂 Once i got a bigger camera, i watched a lot of youtubes on various gimbals. I made a list of things i thought desirable in a gimbal. Now as i write this i cant think of any of them... For whatever reason a crane m3s was decided on as desirable. There was also a crane m4 available at the time, some thing in the m4 specs was different enough from the m3s that it was ruled out despite being the latest incarnation of said gimbal. There was a potential bug reported with the m3, it seemed to affect some people and not others. When mine arrived it worked ok, i did the update thing anyway... i'll be honest i did stress about whether i would get one that had an "issue" and needed the update, in the end it was a non issue. I can't really say anything bad about it. It works without issues, so far. What i can say, is its big, probably stands half meter tall. its kinda heavy even before you put a camera on it and it likes heavy cameras. Put a light camera on it and it will have apoplexy for ten seconds straight. I tried that 🙃 the little om-1 mark two is way to light for this gimbal. Later i did add a focus motor and cables and whatever else came with the kit, surprisingly it was pain free getting it all rebalanced and working, not what i was expecting at all. I did have a usb cable in the wrong port, there's 3 or 4 ports for different things and two ports side by side, once i figured that out it worked fine. For me the only down side is the weight of everything, maybe i should join a gym. Filming anything much longer than 30 seconds or minute starts becoming a struggle real quick or it seems like that... If you have a dji ronin, there is some wisdom in staying within that brand as you know it already and have the muscle memory as well. A different brand is buttons in new places, the functions probably 180 degrees to what your used too. The kind of stuff that makes you inclined to pull your hair out... not impossible to do, just longer before your up to speed. I did ask a question similar to yours when i was first interested in a bigger gimbal within the forum, not sure i got a definitive answer and thats ok and i hope no one takes offence at my comment. What it did do, was make me ask some questions to myself and then it was a journey of finding answers that matched my expectations and sometimes redefining criteria when criteria clashed or probably closer to the truth my understanding was flawed technically and needed readdressing anyway. In the end i think i made a good choice for me, whether the crane m3 is a good choice for you is something you would have to do your own homework on 🙂

i'm looking at the tiffen magsafe for my iphone 13 as well i have been pretty happy with the phone 13 for photos and vids. 9 times out of ten its the only thing i have with me capable of video, Its also hard for me to justify the price of a new iphone or even android. I purchased the camera raw app for the iphone that i read about in another thread and i'm going to give that a go. I also plan on replacing the screen due to a large crack which doesn't stop me using it, but it does annoy me none the less. Also i have noticed the flaring in photos is growing so i'm thinking its time to replace that clear front lens housing as well. I feel those measures aught to provide a useful increase in "useability" and stave off a new phone purchase for 12 months / two years hopefully.
