Lowering camera height in Flyer LE low mode operation
14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A cage accessory can lower the camera position by 20 to 30 centimeters closer to the ground while operating in low mode.
- Using an extended post to achieve extreme low mode camera height results in significant vibration that degrades image quality.
- The trade-off of using a cage is a reduction in payload capacity.
Depends on
- Vibration issues with extended posts suggest this approach is not practical for production use.
- Cage solution requires purchasing additional equipment and accepting payload limitations.
- Discussion centered on Flyer LE model from 2012; applicability to other models unclear.
