  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

HOw far can the brain be away fm the recorder

Are you looking for just recording to be extended and for how far?

One meter distance would already make all the difference (in wildlife shooting). For, if so, then one could have a lighter fluid head and attach the camera body to one of the legs of the tripod. Furthermore, one could attach long lenses directly to the fluid head and use the brain to counterbalance the mass. When shooting aerials, much smaller gyros were needed, in case of a remote controlable head, smaller motors were needed to pan and tilt and so on. One meter could already make quite a difference when shooting with a jib or crane. Of course, in such cases, the longer the distance the better.
 
One metre distance would be a great start. I wouldn't mind this function for Scarlet as well as EPIC. Any official word yet?

Don't worry its on the list.... but we don't know the official max length limitations just quite yet.
 
Cheers Jarred,

That's good news I look forward to hearing more. This feature will be very useful indeed.

It would be a huge advantage in the construction of 3D rigs if the brain could be separated from the other modules even a short distance. Even if only 30cm this would be an advantage allowing the cameras to be shortened and rigs could be physically smaller. Of course the longer the better on the cable.

The new Scarlet and Epics have the potential to be ideal cameras for 3D rigs and if the brain can be separated by a cable it will be THE camera system.
 
I'd suggest the limitation is due to the e-sata connection to drive.
1 metre is fine (i.e..R2E Lemo to eSata cable).
2 metre 'can' be too long for some controllers especially in a noisy host environment.

**Bump!!!**

Any further news?

I'm designing some shots for future projects at the moment. A 1 to 2 metre brain-recorder distance would seriously help. Any (even slightly) technical info yet?

Cheers

Bump!

Sorry, I'm eager to know more!
