100dvxB Image Flip

[scotman]

Thanks to my trustee friends at the forums, i was able to flip the image on my dvx100b using a 35mm adapter shooting normally.. HOW?? well i didnt search the threads, but there is a thread out there which shows you which piece to remove and which button to press. i was scared at first, but then i bucked up had my bro do it, melted a small hole so i can stick a needle through the cap, and now when i use my adapter i get the flip image. now wait, theres more. usually it only flips vertically (so your not shooting upside down)... but the horizontal image is still screwd up. but if you go under settings and switch the mirror mode to normal, for some reason now my horizontal image is flipped as well. I LOVE IT. just thought id share that with peeps. i saved 1000 using this method and headache picking out the best on board stuff. i do mainly run and gun (which in my opinion is possible using an m2, hard but possible) and this is the best solution. FYI

Nice pictures and thanks for sharing :dankk2: I don't have the DVX yet but it's on my wish list. These pictures are definitely helpful if I decide to go with the DVX and a 35mm adapter.
