    Not Relishing the New Leg Extenders

    It's an easy fix. You can do all 4 in about 15 minutes with a thin saw and some sandpaper.

    Not Relishing the New Leg Extenders

    I recently received a package of four leg extenders from Relish. I broke one trying to push it onto one of the legs. The green part snapped right at the knuckle. The guys at Relish are sending me two replacements, but I still felt a modification was necessary. I looked closer at the design...

    Foldable Leg Extensions for Solo

    I damaged one of these extenders while trying to install it. I believe the design is too rough for an easy installation. But the guys in the chat room were very nice and have sent me two replacements. I had a fix-it suggestion for them. I tried to post it in their chat room, but nobody...

    Solo for Egyptology

    Solo for Egyptology

    I would say doubtful but that is based not so much on prop backwash but wind factors in the vicinity. I've been to Cairo (see avatar image of me) and know that it can be very windy at times.

    Gimbal Acting Weird

    I have never been able to pan left or right with the gimbal, not that it's a priority as the legs come into view if I pan too far. But now the tilt is stuck at 77 degrees. I can't get new presets as I can't get the camera to tilt up or down anymore. Any thoughts?

    No Video streaming to iphone

    I had the same issue of briefly seeing the video through the app and then nothing. This method of double tapping the home button and then swiping the app, seems to work every time I try it. Unfortunately it happens a lot. But I'm confident they will figure out the problem.
