foolcontrol iOS and GIG-Ethernet solution....

[Mikael Lubtchansky]

Hello, I just tested native Ethernet support in iOS 10+ with foolcontrol... and it works beautifully... For russian arm, underwater and studio shoot this can be a very good solution if you do not have the special serial app...

setup was done with an Apple lightning USB camera adapter, a GIG-E USB adapter (used a Belkin USB-C + USB-C female to USB A male converter) and some external power (required by the adapter + keeps the phone charged at the same time). Don't forget the lemo to GIG-E cable and a few KipperTie smart cable wraps to keep everything neat and clean.

Camera and iOS have to use manual IP setup but details are in the pict below (10.10.10.1 is both the iOS IP and gateway).

Will certainly be even easier once all iOS devices use USB-C like on the new iPad pro... but this works today on DSMC1 or DSMC2 with a GIG-E module and should also work fine on a DXL or RANGER

Does this set up mean you need wires attached to the caera from cell phone?

Brilliant Mikael, that is great!

Yes but that’s just an alternative solution when wifi is not optimal or possible... think underwater, long distance, hospital, space station...

Also working on a new long range super robust solution with friends to be available later this year... think drone and on set areas too busy for normal wifi

Nice I think I already have everything but the Gig-e lemo cable. Where do you recommend getting that from?

RED has the real ones... angled 9 feet. Works well with jetpack sdi.
Can find some lemo compatible ones online from China... Gavin Greenwalt did a group buy way long ago with various lenght and options but you can source them around. Teradek also had a short one to use with their COLR in foolcontrol bridge mode...

Yessssss!!! I’m going to give this a try. Thank you!!!

If you can get the connectors terminated professionally, then LEMO connectors are available at Mouser or Digikey.

We have lots of experience with these connectors and strongly recommend using only genuine LEMO's. Too much trouble with knock-offs: bad fit, poor contacts and precision.

Bonjour RED-cinematographers-users, i shall be playing as DoP , 4 Days shoot , start on 25 FEB 2020 for a tvc HUAWEI ( director Atanasio ), w/ RED-5kS35 .
Question#1 :
The Camera-Rental House is GEARHEAD , but for some reasons the Production service is answering that there would NOT be any RED-8KVV ( the LF-RED , not the 8kS35 ) available . Would one of you have informations where to track locally a 8KVV body ( available or not will be another question ) ?
Question#2
I shall use a GATES housing for shoots in a Water-Tank ACTS-S2 too small 8x8 m2 x depth 3 m ! would you have been shooting in a pool ( without DayLight , like a pool used for training ?) without DayLight ? merci for any feedbacks in this 2 fields !, Patrick
