Redrock Micro tips

[hraheem72]

I will be receiving my Redrock micro soon for use with my HVX 200 and wanted to ask if there are some tips in the setup and use that experienced users can share with me. I'm mainly interested in things concerning the setup and the settings on the camera that maximize image quality. Any tips are much appreciated.

give yourself at least an hour to setup the first time and more time if you ca fine tune as much edge to edge sharpness as you can.

Lock that foucus off...when your ac is dieing its useualy because of the back foucus beeing off...

Always have an AC... even in run and gun stuff it can really help...

It took me a few days to get the set-up issues ironed out. Everbody does it differently

When setting my edge to edge i was getting frustrated with the inablility to do so. I was very close but not perfect. After hours of pulling my hair i figured out my problem. Close the hvx lens 1 or 2 stops and the edge to edge focus becomes much better. I didn't know why I hadnt thought of it before.

Well first, check out the redrock forums, they have a lot of information on almost every question you could have about your new adapter, and watch their tutorials on how to set everything up as that will really help you get a good jump start. I think one of the most important things is to take your time! Don't rush, it's gonna take you a while to get everything set up so you can achieve a good image, and even after you think you've got it, you'll still be making tweaks every now and then.

Here are a few things I stumbled through during the early days:

1. Make sure your OIS (Optical image stabilizer) is off.
2. "Do" watch and re-watch the tutorials and take your time setting it up.
3. Use a good-sized HD monitor when setting alignments, zoom, and focus. Don't rely on the LCD for anything other than a "rough" set-up.

Have fun!
