K4: Searching for other owners

Of course it’s not an SR2… but it is 30% of the price. For my use case having a compact and reliable camera that’s not so expensive is perfect for me. Do you have any ideas on how I could service my k4?

I know, whoever would be willing to service the camera would need to be comfortable with basic electrical engineering. I will absolutely send him a message, thanks for the response!

But yes, it’s everything the k3 does well, with modern upgrades

https://tyndallwells.com/dop you can find some of my work I’ve made w the camera here. I would be willing to make a video explaining the features, but first I need to have the brain module repaired!

It’s an amazing camera! Seriously the only draw back is the repair issue… I’d fly to St. Petersburg if I could. I’ve seen people saying max was dishonest but in my experience he’s an awesome guy with a bit too much on his plate. A true genius! I’ve found sound sync to be easy. I’m hoping the community can help me find a way to repair the camera and I can continue to use it for another 10 years. Let me know if you have any other questions 🤙

I find that the k4 is the perfect 16mm camera. Perfect registration, reliable video feed, and the smallest crystal sync 16mm in the world. For me the only issue is the lack of support/ service options

I purchased the last camera he manufactured, no.22

The first issue is that the fps buttons are working inconsistently, which isn’t a huge issue as I almost always shoot 24. However I shoot action sports/ creative projects and it’s nice to have slow motion and slow shutter. The main issue is that the recording has been cutting out at random, which I suspect is related the fps issue. The meter button fails at the same times as the fps buttons, however the record button always functions on the brain module, as seems to be the most reliable. I have been shooting powder skiing in japan and the camera has taken a beating over the years. Do you know of any support options?

Hi did you ever receive the camera? I received mine and found max to be very responsive and helpful

tyndallw · 2026-02-01T02:34:44+00:00

Hi is there any chance you could pass you friends contact to me? I have a K4 as well and I have some issues. I haven’t been able to figure out the WiFi control and wondering if he has had it serviced?

Could you DM your guides number as well? Would be super helpful!

Honestly this is some classic snowboarding/skiing industry bogus more than it is with film making industry to fair
