Hay Chris.. I just got this low hours redone mx camera with birger mount and impero..only used in house studio.never been outside.so put new aaa batteries in it.bought 10ft lemo cable as well...try to get the focus.iris and startstop to all work..startstop always works but focus goes into focus then out any simple canadian ideas for me..jim kozmik

Hmmm, so it's falling out of focus? Not had that happen before. Mine is a little temperamental at times,
I get better results with focus using batteries rather than a cable, not sure why. I also find the lens responds better when mounted after the camera has booted, again don't know the reasons behind that either. I also use the calibration button on the imperio. Don't know if any of that helps. Have you watched the Birger Mount "how to" videos online? They might be of some use to you.

Have you tried contacting Erik Widding at Birger.com, I've found him to be extremely helpful. Also there are instructions at http://www.birger.com/downloads.aspx.
You're not using a Canon 70-200 2.8 by any chance, It and a couple of other lenses need you to use a second focus mode accessed by holding the F button for 4 seconds.
The Birger mount can be a bit weird to use, but once I got the hang of it it's been good.

I WILL LOOK AT ALL THESE BIRGER VIDEOS.AND TRY PUTTING LENSE ON AFTER POWERING CAMERA..USING TOKINA 11-16MM.KOZ

 

[Chris Elkerton]

My Tokina 11-16 works great so no problems there.
let me know how you get in Jim.
