Re: Pointgrey Grasshopper3 3.2 MP

Lenses are a big problem when you get into the Higher resolution/larger sensor cameras. Not be cause they aren't out there but because they are almost impossible to find used and are expensive new. The biggest issue I found is that the lenses themselves are very often not high enough resolution. Eve...

Re: µ Rig of the week

Hi Micr0, Do you have an extra lens in front of the projector ? I have been having problems with alignment and fusion. I believe it is coming from distortion of the close-up lens. Jeff For this setup yes. David should calibrate for for some lens distortion. how close are you and what length lenses ...

Re: Oteck's Arca swiss style setup

FWIW lens focal length can really become a problem when you move into the larger sensor high definition cameras. The selection of lenses with OTF suitable for high def cameras is very limited.

µ Rig of the week

Current 2 camera set up. I tend to redesign things about once a month so who knows how long this set up will last. It's been working really well so I may keep it an focus on making a smaller turntable. The 2 axis Trunion you can partially see in the picture works great but I originally designed it f...
