Ikonoskop Notes
Update - After posting this Joachim Vansteelant sent me a message informing me the firmware update I’d been neglecting actually addresses most if not all of these “Current Issues”. The feature requests stay the same.
One of the things I really like about owning a dII is that the company is incredibly small. Thus, I feel I have a pretty direct line to the team there through Lukas Eisenhauer - one of two sales and support folks.
After testing the camera this weekend I’ve put together a little list of feature requests I’ve sent to Lukas as well as some issues I’ve found. Take a look and let me know what you think of these. And for those other owners, let me know what kind of feedback you’ve given to Ikonoskop so far.
Features I’d like to see:
- Menu output through SDI
- Menu output to DP screen
- Quick status screen option from selection dial. When pressed, this would show current FPS, shutter speed, Record setting (normal, interval or still), and other useful setting info at a glance
- Shot duration option instead of remaining time on card
Current Issues:
- Monitor output unstable/glitchy
- Menu selection resets to default option instead of current setting.
- DP monitor is very choppy
- Time remaining and current timecode are not updated in realtime so you have no idea who long your shot has run for.
