Chronos User Discussion / Re: Shotgun shot pellet stream heading up to the clay pigeon - advice on lens needed

« on: August 09, 2024, 03:32:41 PM »

I think that's a tall order but very interesting project! If it was me i would automate the clay Pidgeon launcher and set it up so it fires the clay Pidgeon to the sameish place every time then set the lens to focus on that area in the sky, maybe use reflective shot so its easier to see I think it would be really difficult to pull focus that quick to follow the shot maybe it could be done with a stepper motor controlled by the pc that controls the launcher and starts the camera. You would need a quick lens to let as much light in as possible with a wide focus range maybe something like a wildlife or motorsport lens. I would get the MFT adaptor so the lens is more secure then a speed booster MFT to whichever lens you decide on. I think the lens will be expensive for what you want to do. I would maybe rent a few to get what suits you. but I recon  your into thousands not hundreds 600mm is maybe a good place to start but thats just a guess

I wonder if something like this would work. It looks like the correct spec but would defiantly need further investigation before I plugged it into my Camera !

That looks great. I was just wondering how long did topaz take to upscale the stills ? I was thinking of giving it a try.
Thanks Joe

How long have you had your 2.1?

I've got mine just before Covid hit, I've not used it nearly as much as I wanted but I have been using it more recently with some automation rigs I'm experimenting with. Thanks for the update on Topaz I have a decent graphics card so hopefully it wont take to long. Im curious really if its hours or days. It seems to do a good job !

Maybe could you try VLC player then you could establish if its a player or camera issue

Unfortunately it is not possible to connect your USB-C drive to the Chronos camera.  The Samsung T5 drives are not compatible with the Chronos camera.

I got this back from Chronus support when I was trying to connect a T5

Be gentle I'm still learning! Next thing is to get the colour looking right and work on my editing but the machine works so that's a start!

I had a similar problem and support sent me an firmware update that cured it. Maybe worth dropping them an email

Have you formatted the card as a Fat32. that wouldn't explain why it worked and didn't though I guess.

If you ask support they will help with the SSD I had the same problem and they sent me a firmware update that got everything working it sounds like you have a similar problem. Im not sure what adapter you will need for the sony fit lens ? Do they do a micro2/3 to Sony E ? I use the probe lens on my camera with a EF mount with the micro 2/3 mount withh a speed booster. But you will need something like the Sun with a fresno on to light it up lol. I export in CinemaDNG it takes a while but its worth it for post editing.

I managed to get it fitted really pleased with it. The camera feels more solid not sure if its just in my head but I prefer the MFT mount to C mount. I have a speed booster and can fit my macro lenses now will post some results once I get everything set up,.

Chronos User Discussion / Fitting the Micro Four Thirds Mount

« on: March 14, 2023, 08:28:51 AM »

I have just purchased the Kron Micro Four Thirds Mount is there anything need to watch out for when fitting it ? I also have the Aputure DEC lens regain 0.75x focal reducer, adapter EF to MFT, wireless focus. The idea is I can use my Canon EF macro lenses and control the aperture. I'm not sure if the .75 will be a problem but I will find out when its fitted I guess.
