SI-2K Mini in the Field

Try this one. Shot with a 200mm f2 Nikon prime. It was quite a challenge for Gavan O'Sullivan because he was having to aquire the aircraft on base leg whilst it was still a small target without an on-camera viewfinder, very much a testament to his camera skills.

The green button is a start/stop and will work with the Mini but you need a splitter Y cable so it can plug into the power connector along with your power.

Tried, and here's the pic!

I hacked an 8ft jib (that i did not love) and made a 4ft microjib out of it. Since the weight is so light now, I also did not need more than 5Lb of counterweight.

All this mounted nicely on my DIY Igus-based slider.

Smooth-moves-o-rama! :)
