Hi guys -

I am flying a 5d mk3 with ML on an octocopter and use a Nyrius Aries Pro (same as the Paralinx Arrow) via the HDMI out as a wireless video downlink. 
My problem is that every time I fly out of range (max. 300 feet) and the Nyrius loses its connection, the RAW recording stops and the whole clip is lost. For some reason ML does not save anything in this case.

To fix this problem I looped a SmallHD DP4 monitor inbetween - so even if the wireless signal is lost, the camera is still sending an HDMI out to the monitor and doesnt stop recording or loses the clip.

My question is - is there any way to fix this from the ML side of things? 

Thanks,
Tim

Hi everybody,

I was using a 5d mk3 and ML (08/22/2013 version) for a shoot the other day. We were running ML to record RAW video. When the first card (a 64gb 1000x Komputerbay) was full, the camera operator unfortunately did not shut off the camera and just removed the CF card.

It bricked the camera for good. 

I tried pretty much everything - new battery, different cards - even a SD card, CF cards with and without ML, camera reset by removing the small button battery for a few hours etc.
The camera seems completely fried. The LED does not light up at any point and there is no
other sign of life.
Also since this incident the mirror is folded up and the shutter is closed.

I will probably have to send it in and see if Canon can fix anything - but if anybody has any ideas,
any advice would be much appreciated! :)

Cheers!

Hi folks -

I am not sure if thats a known or common issue - but I shot some RAW footage with 5d mk3 and the latest ML firmware out of an airplane window. 

When applying a grading in Photoshop/Camera Raw (mostly crushing the black level), then exporting all the DNG's as TIF's and importing them into AE - there is something fairly weird happening.



The same thing happens if I import the DNG directly into AE and apply the Camera Raw grading that way.
The only way I can avoid this is to not change any settings in Camera Raw and apply a grading (e.g. levels or curves) in AE.

Does anybody have a solution for this?

Thanks!
