Francisco Rios Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I thought it was "water resistance"... :-) Good luck with the new camera and thanks for you help on forum. Best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzynormal Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Ugh, I've done that. I always travel with 2 backup cams now. Places like Borneo and Cambodia typically have a short supply of electronics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnVid Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I use a device to stop that stuff happening, called a camera strap :) Did you make a wish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 that's not much use on a jib arm, btw none of our cameras have straps on them as we don't wear them round our necks ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeys Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 My experience is that straps are a freaking pain for video work. They always get in the way. andy lee and tbreade 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnVid Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 A strap is secondary on a Jib, there's a hole in the bottom for fixing, lol only playing, but I generally wrap the strap round the hand, or in that case attach it to the jib, still usefull unless you dunked the end of the jib. Anyway hopefully you got things sorted, and some cracking footage is on its way(to a paying client) I will keep an eye out for your video posted here. andy lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnymossville Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 My experience is that straps are a freaking pain for video work. They always get in the way. not to mention I really like light tripods, the wind catches straps and shakes the camera. andy lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnVid Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 A couple of cable ties would do the trick, if you dont like the width of a strap, I lugged my manfrotto twin leg thing & 501 all over Italy, not sure I would do it again though, A clamp & ball head handy for the bag, all the extra gear is a ball ache, but if you need the shots and there's a group(and some wonga) of people, not so bad. andy lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzBox Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 thank you Jazzbox very much for this info and your kind offer much appreciated kind regards Andy Seriously, I'm quite near to Rome (1,5 hours), if you pass here I will be happy to help you! :)http://www.wwf.it/oasi/toscana/laguna_di_orbetello/ Cosimo murgolo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
