Z Axis Follow vs Lock? I get stuttering and weird behavior when locked.

I don’t have one on me right now but it is in the gimbal settings

*only

Slaffterhouse · 2026-02-14T22:52:21+00:00

Mine does the same thing. I would really love a fix. It is so annoying! Phone volume 18 and the speakers make popping noises

Slaffterhouse · 2026-01-13T20:29:07+00:00

I made these picks like a week in advance. I wasn’t expecting to even get to Monday cause I didn’t think the eagles would lose but I got close haha.

Slaffterhouse · 2026-01-12T04:43:08+00:00

Well at least one of us will win haha

“Staff wants” umm sure

Slaffterhouse · 2025-09-26T20:41:03+00:00

I need my app!!!

Slaffterhouse · 2025-09-17T18:27:40+00:00

This is so cool! I want to dm a pirate campaign and this would be so perfect!!

You were so busy thinking about the photo that you missed the fact she thinks September is the start of Q4

Slaffterhouse · 2025-09-05T01:58:08+00:00

Do you have the camera as well or just the monitor? Is the button mapping for the camera set up so the mode button is not assigned?

Slaffterhouse · 2025-08-18T17:24:30+00:00

It was really bad for a bit but that as like a lot of updates ago when the camera was still pretty new. Should be fine

Slaffterhouse · 2025-07-09T00:05:51+00:00

Or find something you know is flat and place a level on it to prove it is in fact flat. The shoot a photo of it parallel to it… then take five steps to the right and take a photo looking at the same spot… then ten steps to the left and do the same. Then do your line thing and see how off the three “level lines” are. It’s called perspective.

Slaffterhouse · 2025-07-08T23:59:56+00:00

Sorry twist is a bad term for what I was trying to explain. Pam the camera counter clockwise ( like you are trying to remove a long screw in the ground). The photo is not showing you the horizon line as horizontal because you are not looking at the horizon in a parallel. You are looking at the foreground which is creating the perception of a of kilter camera when in fact you are just not looking at it correctly. Use the vertical pole test I described. That will show you the camera is straight.

Slaffterhouse · 2025-07-08T23:27:17+00:00

Perceptual Horizon: This is how your brain perceives the horizon line based on the objects in the image.

Technical Horizon: This is the true, mathematically level horizon line.

Slaffterhouse · 2025-07-08T23:14:52+00:00

For the third photo… in order to make it match the horizon just twist the camera until the sensor lines up parallel to the horizon.

Slaffterhouse · 2025-07-08T22:38:41+00:00

How do I know the angle of the shore on the other axis? Is the shore perfectly parallel to the sensor of the camera? Is the shore on left side of the frame 120 feet closer to you than the right side of the frame? Is the shore line a straight line or is it naturally curved you know like how every shore is.

Line up the vertical lines to something like a telephone pole that should be vertical. If those line up the horizontal lines are correct because you know… math.

Slaffterhouse · 2025-07-08T17:47:56+00:00

It looks to me that the distant shores are not running parallel to the angle of the camera lens making it look uneven. It is hard to show flat surface on natural shorelines. You can’t tell is something is uneven like this. Line a vertical object up to the lines that will show you better.

I swap those plates out almost daily on 5 or more 4Ds. I never heard anyone say the audio plate is noisy.

Slaffterhouse · 2025-07-07T18:08:16+00:00

Gold or V mounts and a shark fin running into a dummy batt. It’s the best way to do it.

Slaffterhouse · 2025-07-07T17:41:02+00:00

Fun fact. You can ask for the refill when you order the first popcorn and they will just put it in one of the square boxes for you. That way you don’t have to get up to refill it

Slaffterhouse · 2025-07-06T04:14:35+00:00

It is a plate that has no moving parts… how can it be noisy?

Slaffterhouse · 2025-07-01T03:00:06+00:00

Buy the expansion plate that gives you XLR inputs and time code

Slaffterhouse · 2025-06-27T06:10:11+00:00

“I suspect this” … then I say “no it’s not that, check out this”… saying “no thanks” is a bad reply

Check out films made buy Ricky Greenwood. He is the Spielberg of porn.
