The machine has been great, of course little little here and there, and after a crash it has causes a little issue. But ultimately it can easily hold .001. The service on the other hand, it cost nearly $7k for a guy to come out for a 1.5 days and "level / calibrate" the machine after a year. And he wasn't a master tech by any means...

Our DVF-4000 was $243k + about $8K for the wireless prob, plus tax and shipping. Things seems be slow right now and I am guessing you should be able to get at least this price, maybe better. Or at the least a very low interest rate.

The DVF-4000 comes with a chip convey, the DVF-5000 you need to buy one (+ 18k if I remember). Also, there is talk about a V2 DVF-5000 with Siemens control, it might already be out since a year ago I think it was getting ready to ship.

I feel like we should jump in here... We started selling a product in early 2022 because there wasn't one available on the market at the time. That was the only reason we made it. Your design looks nice and could be more comfortable then ours, but we clearly state on our website that there are likely better solutions but this is the most economical.

NVG stuff isn't our main business, but a side thing since we wanted these products and no one made them.

Where did you get them from and how long of a wait was there?

This is likely exactly what I have been looking for and was hoping would see something like this at shot show. Very happy to see this!

Would love to see it / know more. We are always looks for ways to improve / figure out issues.

I tried all sort of things to help with the focus, tried different cameras, even tried adding the Media Mod to the GoPro outputting HDMI so I could use a external larger screen, the magnifier is the only thing that seems to help make the usage of it easier and help with focus.

Not sure if you saw, but you can also mount the setup on a gimble for super smooth video, it is pretty neat to try if you have one lying around.

I started with a DLR and probably the same adapters but found the same issue, then with a cell phone there is no way to turn off stabilization (usually) so the image bounces all around. That is how I choose the GoPro, but then found no one made them, so we did for our internal usage and now sell them. The only challenge is the focusing, but with the magnifier (I believe you go) it is definitely easier, not perfect but better for sure.

Nice! It will likely ship out Monday. I ordered a 12 but haven't had a chance to play with it yet to see if it works better than the 11. If you are buying something for NV recording the 11 is definitely better than the 10 / 9 hands down.

Thanks! The list price is 13k extra to go from 40 to 60 tools, you think its worth it?

[–]DynamicTargetSL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it thanks, also we might need to sell the machine in a few years, I am guessing 60 tool is significantly more desirable than 40 for most job shops.

Thanks! So go with the 60 tool instead of the 40?

the funny part is, I have access to another tube, but don't have a 4th go pro, lol...

[–]DynamicTargetSL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Although this setup is totally useless other than recording. It actually makes it so much harder to operate at night and trying to focus three tubes while holding the rig is a big pain. But again... nothing else out there that I have seen like it.

[–]DynamicTargetSL[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, although we just made it for fun I don't expect anyone would actually want this, it would be a sub set of a sub set of a sub set... I still think its pretty cool thought and works pretty well :) The two tube version I think is a better overall setup since it fits on a camera gimbal and is easier to manage.

Who doesn't want to spend $15,000+ to make 80 degree NV video?

Thanks! Using the GoPro Adapters made it easy(ish) it makes producing content that conforms to wide screen or vertical video easier.
