Hi :D Spring flowers are blooming here where I live and the colors of spring are getting a little more intense. I had a happy thought for a moment about what spring is like in your part of Texas.It's nice to see you today and I hope you have a happy spring day.Thank you.
Our great wizard Dorin will return with a new solution. :) I received a new email from him today. He doesn't forget and solves the issues one by one. I don't know when all the issues will be resolved, but I trust him and wait. let's wait together
@@my1secany news about those issues ? I'm considering buying one but the more I see the more I get scared away... The UI looks terrifying AF... Not even talking about the C1 controller with the led patterns, looks easier to crack an enigma machine 🤣
@@trollenz Hi, The motorized panorama market is now dead except for a few companies, which is why there are no feedback-enabled products to date. Fanotec nodal ninja is about the only alternative. It's not bad because they do take feedback on problems and make improvements on the fly, but that's about it. Today, we drive a lot of cars with automatic transmission systems, but this product is as difficult and inconvenient as driving a car with manual gears. I would recommend it if you can live with the inconvenience, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else
@@my1sec thanks for your answer... I've been using nodal ninja products for many many years and I've always been a big fan that's why I'm considering... And yes I'm usually the first one to complain when you buy a product and you can't tweak it or access a proper sdk the way you exactly want... But here curiously I may complain this might be too much 🤣 Parameters all over the place, overcomplicated interface... But hey, I might give it a try after all. Thanks for the insight.
@@trollenz It's great to meet you, I'm a big fan of fanotec and have been since the early days. I'm sure everyone's shooting environment is very different, in my case I enjoyed shooting 360 degrees in the early days, but since 12 years ago I've been shooting between 180 and 200 degrees. I like to shoot at least 12 shots (3x4) panoramas, and when shooting super high resolution panoramas with lenses with a focal length of 150mm or more, the margin of error for each shot is a bit wide due to the distance traveled. This has led to a high frequency of errors in the final stitching process. Due to the nature of the Motorize machine, there is a mechanical tolerance, but with the fisheye lenses, even if there is some tolerance, it didn't affect the results at all. It is very heavy with the extra batteries, but even with that in mind, I was going to use it but have now given up on using the MECHA system. The main reason for not using it is that if the wind blows while shooting and causes blur, I need to go back to the shooting point and reshoot, and at the time I bought it, there was no way to go back to the shooting point. I asked Fanotec and they modified the firmware to allow me to return to the shooting point, but due to the aforementioned tolerances inherent in the motorized nature, I was unable to return to the exact position and the process of returning required multiple maneuvers and was a very cumbersome process. In a slightly later era, there was a machine called GIGAPAN. I think you can probably only get a used one on eBay now. This machine requires some modifications to get the parallax point right, but it was a very intuitive machine to use, small, lightweight, and had a lot of advantages. Most importantly, it allows the photographer to return to the last position for reshoots and the process of returning was very simple. If you are interested in motorized machines, I would recommend doing a Google search on this machine. I got the impression that the MECHA machine was made too complicated, difficult and heavy to cater to the needs of too large a user base. There is a lot of information about MECHA on FB and the FANOTEC forum, so I recommend the FB FANOTEC forum if you are interested in learning more.
