Sony NEX-5 Kite Aerial Photography Rig Here are some photos of Wind Watcher's Kite Aerial Photography rig using the Sony NEX-5 with the 16mm pancake lens. The NEX-5's combination of light weight and large sensor is perfect for going airborne. from Wind Watchers post : Camera: Sony Nex-5 with 16mm Pancake Rig: Modified Brooks BBKK auto KAP rig with AuRiCo controller for pan (reduction gears) and tilt servos. Rig Configuration: Dual [Sony Nex-5 and Go Pro HD Hero ] and Single camera set up [Sony Nex-5]. The shutter was triggered by the gentLED-Shutter (which generates an infra-red (IR) signal to the NEX-5 remote sensor detector. The gentled-Shutter device is wired directly to the shutter servo port on the AuRiCo device. This was my first use of the AuRiCo shutter control approach as I just about always use the CHDK shutter control on my Canon cameras. Works like a champ. KAP sessions: 4 over Chester Springs, December 2010 Kites: Nighthawk and Fled And here are some of Wind W

We posted about the Bigma on the NEX-VG10 before but this video shows how well the OS (Optical Stabilizer) function of the Sigma 50-500mm lens works. The test by YoshiroOh uses a Sony NEX-VG10 camcorder , a LA-EA1 Sony Alpha lens adapter, and the Bigma. The lens is tapped by a finger to introduce vibration and the OS is at three different settings, OFF, 1, and 2 Vertical. The Optical Stabilizer of the Bigma seems to work fine. This video is before the new NEX-VG10 Firmware 02 update so it could have improved since then. If you have a NEX-3 or NEX-5 and the Bigma, we'd like to see if the results are the same.
