Re: Camera mount brackets (for quick orientation flipping)?

You might take a look at this one.

Hi All,

I asked this question in a different thread, - but it might not be seen
there, so, I would ask it in its own thread.

I am considering buying a monopod and some type of device that allows
quick and easy flipping between horizontal and vertical positions.
Larry has suggested a ball head as those typically have a slit that
allow to tilt the camera by 90 degrees.
That is a possibility, but: 1. I would be overpaying for the
functionality I don't need. (Or maybe I am not looking at the right ball
heads? Are there any inexpensive ones?)
and
2. A ball head has more degrees of freedom, which complicates the
situation when I need just to flip it from landscape to portrait
orientation.

I've been thinking about something that is similar to the brackets used
for mounting flashes, but just for the camera. Such a "bracket" would
flip between just two orientations (on a tripod or monopod).
Do such devices exist? Any pointers?

Thank you!

Re: Camera mount brackets (for quick orientation flipping)?

[Richard Dell]

I use and leave a Stroboframe 300-115 Vertaflip PHD Camera Platform
mounted to the heavy duty tripod I carry in the car .
Might be a bit much for a monopod ..
I've been aiming to getting L brackets to use more portably.

Re: What is "8X"?

[John]

It usually means "multiply by 8".

At a guess they're saying their carbon fiber monopod is 8 times stronger
than whatever they're comparing it to.

So, I am just curious, what that "8X means.

Re: Camera mount brackets (for quick orientation flipping)?

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Acratech.net Universal L Bracket: 
http://www.acratech.net/l-brackets-and-nodal-rails/universal-l-bracket/

It requires you have an Arca-Swiss type camera or lens plate for whatever item 
you want to mount, and an Arca-Swiss type QR clamp for whatever support you 
plan to use. Of course, they sell those things too. 

The Acratech Universal L Bracket is why I almost never buy anything but a 
simple camera or lens plate.

Re: Camera mount brackets (for quick orientation flipping)?

[Stanley Halpin]

Two thoughts, well, three or four…

1. L-bracket. Swiss-Acre mount used on a bullhead that uses a clamp rather than 
a screw-down system to secure the lens. Really Right Stuff? Not cheap.
2. Use lenses with tripod collars.
3. I’ve used cheap ball heads on monopods. Fageddaboutit.  (sp?)

Kirk does make a nice monopod head, has fewer degrees of freedom than a full 
ball head, but serves the purpose nicely. When used with L-bracket… Not cheap.

Re: Camera mount brackets (for quick orientation flipping)?

Check out "L" brackets. They're normally associated with arca Swiss type quick 
release plates but I've seen some with screw mount capability for direct 
attachment to a tripod or monopod.

On a monopod a lot of the quality issues are a lot less important.
Ball heads can be swapped between monopod and tripod.
The freedom of motion of a ball head that is loosely locked down can be 
very, very handy when shooting on a monopod.  Particularly when for 
various reasons you can't put the foot of the monopod directly under the 
camera.


Is there anyone with a monopod/ballhead setup that you could borrow?





I've been thinking about something that is similar to the brackets used

Your old days were different to mine.  I never shot Kodachrome 25 - I
was almost exclusively Fujichrome 50 or 100 (occasionally Velvia).

Thanks for the comment in your other post - I thought about cropping off
the blue hull on the right but it also crops off too much of the fishing
boat.  I wish I'd taken another frame so that the final image wasn't so
tightly cropped on the right.

A bit expensive. Could buy a couple of manual K mount lenses and a
cheaper adaptor for that money.

I've upgraded to the X-Pro 2. The OVF is an improvement over the 1 and
the hybrid, where you get a tiny EVF in the corner is useful. No
headaches for me!

Like Cotty I take a couple of spares with me. Good for a day's shooting.

On my little Oly, I disable the rear LCD by turning it face-in, and then
leave the EVF off until activated with the proximity sensor
automatically - it cuts down quite appreciably on battery usage. That
said, I carry 2 charged spares!

The X-T1 is a very nice little camera. I was thinking about selling my 
Fuji X-Mount stuff after the K-1 came out, and did sell my X-Pro1 body. 
So far I haven't moved on selling the X-T1 and lenses.
My only real gripe with the Fuji is the EVF. It makes the camera battery 
hungry and gives me a headache if I look through the viewfinder for too 
long at a time.
You will find with these cameras that a somewhat different shooting 
technique is desirable. A lot of my strategy revolves around not wasting

Re: Fuji body, Pentax lens

[P.J. Alling]

That depends on what you mean by full functionality.

There are K adapters for m43 and Sony E that have aperture rings to 
allow the use of K lenses without aperture rings to be used stopped 
down, but they won't allow shutter preferred automation, I don't know 
about Fuji X mount but I assume that someone makes similar adapters for 
that system as well.


The viewfinders amp up so that it /looks/ like you're getting open 
aperture metering, buy you're really not.  Some people prefer that, 
since you're getting a full time DOF preview.


No adapter now made will allow any Pentax AF lens to auto focus when 
used on a Fuji or any other mirrorless camera system.


There is no power for the lens so those with "advanced" features such as 
the newish DA 18-50 with focus by wire and the new DA 50-300 with the 
electrical aperture control won't have full functionality.  The former 
is in fact probably completely useless in that application, the latter 
is crippled in the same way that it is on any Pentax camera that doesn't 
have power contacts and the updated firmware, would be.


However if you're using a manual focus, manual /mechanical/ aperture K 
mount lens, the Fuji with adapter would be more transparent, more like 
using an actual Pentax camera with a aperture simulator.  I've often 
been tempted by the Sony A7 series for just that reason.  I can't 
remember why I didn't really like them when I tried one out.  The Fuji 
cameras are just delightful to hold.

I'm afraid I only ever used fully manual lenses on my Fuji camera (an X-
E1). I have no experience of Pentax autofocus lenses, except for the
18-55 kit lens on my wife's *istD-s camera.

I have since sold my X-E1 and am now the proud owner of an Olympus Pen
F. I use that with just four lenses in my kit bag: Samyang 12/2, Pentax
24/2.8, Pentax 50/1.4 and Tokina 90/2.5 macro - all manual focus lenses
with aperture rings.

I hope one day to be able to get a Voigtlander 10.5/.095 for my wide
angle but for now I'm the happiest I have been (photographically
speaking) for a long long time :-)

Beautiful weather here.  Unfortunately, I am trapped in a series of surveys of
newt habitats and am unable to be any distance away.  At least for most of the
time.  I'm in London overnight tomorrow and around KX until my meeting at 11:30.
 Might be free again from ~13:00 until my return train to newtland at 15:00.

Re: Archeologist

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Rick.  I shall try to work on the color balance.
It was a very bright morning, and he was in the shade while I was in the
sun,  That may have affected the colrs a bit.

It's more of a whisper over the tinnitus but that voice is definitely talking to
me.

Googled "lens flair".  Was not disappointed.

Re: Photo students today - equipment

[Jostein Øksne]

The OP has not come through to my inbox yet, so I reply to this one. :-) 
Mark, what's the primary focus for the course? Is it technically inclined or 
towards arts and visual communication?

Much prefer the wider view, but I would personally crop the bit of blue
boat far right.

Lovely!

K-1 firmware 1.30 crop mode test

[Jos from Holland]

I tested crop mode as follows:

K-1 with Sigma APS-C lens 8-16mm @ 16 mm
(@ 16mm the Sigma covers FF)

3 pictures of bookshelves filled with books:
FF gives 44.5 MB
APS-C mode gives 22.2 MB
1:1 mode gives 45 MB

So Mark Roberts suggestion is right: the camera adds just a cropping 
specification to the raw file.
I expect, when shooting JPG there will be a proportional file size reduction 
comparing 1:1 to FF
