redrock m2 and image flipping
 
What are the preferred methods of flipping the image when using the m2?

Yasser Kassana June 9th, 2006 08:38 AM

Flipping in post? Or in camera?

Image flip
 
Either way, whichever is the most convenient... how about in cam because of the difficulty in composing shots with a upside down image?

Matthew Nayman June 10th, 2006 08:39 AM

Best option is to get an external monitor and an Israeli Arm (Jointed Arm) and mount a 5-7" LCD screen upside down on the cam!

My solution!

Amos Kim June 11th, 2006 01:33 PM

That sounds very simple Mathew. Can you recommend a quality inexpensive 5"-7" lcd monitor?

Matthew Nayman June 12th, 2006 08:41 AM

I bought the lilliput 7" LCD with VGA resolution (480 lines vs. 234) so I can focus. It was $400 Canadian. You can usually find somehtign similar for half that with half the res.

Check out B&H Photovideo for their Marshall and Varizoom monitors...

Amos!

Another way to flip/rotate the picture in combination with the M2 is this:

The Xenarc 8" series (and maybe the 7", I haven't tried) have built-in flipping functions so you can mount the monitor normally and flip without using any kind of special mounting equipment. it's a selection in the menu. They're also built of durable aluminum and have exceptional image quality.

do these monitors still have a mirror image function though. i.e. pan left and image moves right?

Ben Winter October 29th, 2006 03:01 AM

The one I mentioned flips both ways, so this is not a problem.

I think for the other monitors they are assuming you know to mount the monitor upside-down. This gives you the fully correct orientation as well.

Ben,

I have been looking up the 7" version and cannot see info on image reversing, was this something advertised on your 8" version at all. Also, how are you battery powering it? Is yours the 800VR roof mount one?

Thanks

Ben Winter October 30th, 2006 12:34 PM

This is the one I bought:

The 7" doesn't appear to have the flip function, but the screwmount slides around on the back and rotates so its not difficult at all to mount it upside-down.

I am powering it with a great big $100 12v battery I bought. Heavy, but it goes for like 5 hours.

Phil Bloom October 30th, 2006 12:39 PM

Ben,

So you think it's a good option then, crisp, sharp...how good is it outdoors?

Phil Bloom November 9th, 2006 11:08 AM

Ok...bought a lilliput 7" lcd monitor with VGA input. I have a component to VGA lead but the monitor says no signal. What am I doing wrong?

Phil Bloom November 15th, 2006 10:55 AM

anybody got any ideas?
