SGpro Flip Module HVX fix When?

[Bertholt4]

Hello is the new EX1 fix from the SGpro-Team also OK for the HVX users of the former SGpro-FLip?
If not, when will it come out?

Ive used an SGpro r3 flip on an HVX a few times and it looks great. I think someone mentioned something about an HVX lens this morning though

 

[Wayne Kinney]

The 'EX1 fix' optics worked so well that it gave a marked improvement on all other cams we tested with it. The improvement was such that we are now shipping the same achromat and other optics as standard with every flip module.

This means that if you purchase the 'EX1 fix' this will also improve performance which cams like the HVX200.

Note, that this is only needed for the earlier 'letus' flip modules (one without a logo bubble sticker). If you flip module has a logo, you do not need to purchase the EX1 fix.

What is the problem with pre buble logo filp module?

 

[Wayne Kinney]

I wouldn't say there is a problem as such, as Hoarp001 says it looks great. The fix improves the edge to edge sharpness as well as reduce chroma abberation vs the achromat shipped with the 'letus' flip.

 

[jerryrain]

do you maybe know does Sgpro works better with Brevis flip or pre bubble letus flip?

 

[Wayne Kinney]

I myself have no experience with a Brevis flip.

 

[hoarp001]

What is a pre bubble letus flip?!

 

[jerryrain]

erlier model of sgpro (letus) flip... without the EX1 fix

So the only difference between the letus flip and the newer one is the swapped out achromat? So basically older users can just upgrade the achromat and have essentially the same flip as what is shipped for new orders?

 

[hoarp001]

Yes, but you dont get the bubble :-(

 

[Bertholt4]

Thanks Wayne for clearing up. As fast as always.

 

[Avenger007]

Yes, but you dont get the bubble :-(

Whats the bubble?

 

[Wayne Kinney]

Yes,

If you purchase the EX1 fix it replaces the letus achromat with the same one that is shipping with our current flip modules.

A 'Bubble Sticker' is what companies use (including us) to brand their product:

 

[hoarp001]

Ah, Its got a proper pop on lens cap. I seem to spend my life unscrewing the current one...

 

[Avenger007]

So same flip just different achromat and a bubble sticker. Excellent, i'll be ordering the achromat, and other goodies this week then. The overseas shipping seems to keep me waiting for the next big thing over and over.

Looks like it to me. Same exact flip unit etc. Has anyone gotten any photos of their SGflipped rig?
