Letus 35 problem Please help at DVinfo.net

Hello everyone, I just recently bought a Letus Extreme and was wondering if anyone has a fix for the common problem of the Letus shutting off mid shoot. I have read that this happens quite often on these boards and I am in the middle of shooting a film and the little motor keeps turning off usually right after we call action. I have changed the batteries and still nothing. You give it a little tap... it works for a minute you reattach the lens call action... then it stops again. I don't have time to send it back as we have the actors only for a few days before they go back. Does anyone have any tips. We bought this for this film and well it looks nice in the molded case it came in as we shoot with just the stock HVX lens. I am really bummed.

Kevin,

Have the moderator move this question to the "Alternative Imaging" forum where they deal with lens adapters directly; this question is not specific to a P2 camera.

i have it also in the alternative imaging post but more people have seen it in the panasonic post.

There are more Panasonic owners than Letus hence the higher hit count on this forum.
