Preston Wireless Remote start/stop must know...

[Dane Brehm]

For any of you AC/DP folks using the new Preston remote start/stop I wanted to give you a heads up that it disengages the left side record on/off, AWB, and Image zoom functions. Once finished go within the button assign menu and reengage the buttons. I recently had a chance to use the new Preston remote start/stop on a Videogame commercial while using a 30ft Technocrane.

Your camera's not broken....

Goodluck

I havent had any issues...where did you get the cable to the Red? Maybe yours is wired wrong.

Sure hasn't done that on my shoots...

At first I thought it was a voltage polarization issue but since I needed to catch a plane for a 2 week ABC project I couldn't get into the details. I got one of the first units from Preston so it is quite possible that the cable was the issue. It sounds like a isolated issue according to both your experiences.....

I had my cable made by Wes Printz, he does awesome work...but you would think that Preston could get it right too.

Nice little Car beeper to go with it. Boop Beep.....

Having a start stop integrated into the FIZ makes things alot easier.....

I do like having a beeep for record, then a beep,beep for stop roll.

i prefer to start/stop from the 4pin gpio
so you can program your start function
with the gpio you can also start a ramp from your Preston

Hi Dane

No problem here with the Preston wireless and Preston cables disengaging the buttons.
Its always better to check a second system before posting problems.
