It is very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to list everything off.

Jon, I just want to double check the part number for the Ki Pro rod end plate, partly because I've never seen a part number that contains a pound sign (#) and an asterisk sign (*) before. When ordering the part I use this part number: AJA SKU#*KIMINIRDNPLT-R0 and they'll know what it is?

Don G. - Regarding the rod end plate, the number I provided you with is what your reseller can use to order the part. I have no idea why the asterisk got added to the description as that's not what I typed... just some form of text formatting issue with the posting to the forum I suppose. Sorry if there was any confusion because of that.

Hope that helps clarify things,

Shot all weekend with the Ki Pro mini and our PMW-350 and Ex-3, worked great! Actually balanced out the 350 better than without it too!

Sorry we didn't get a closer one, busy shooting schedule and I forgot to ask my photogrpaher to get some tight shots on the setup.

We flew the Ex-3 with an older Glidecam and the Ki Pro actually worked perfectly as a counter-weight! Not the most ideal setup, but it works in a pinch.

So you used the standard Ki Pro for your SteadiCam shot? Kewl
How long, if possible, can you power your Camera and the KiPro with a Anton Bauer Batterie?

Jon this should work Anton Bauer PowerTap-28 28" PowerTap to POWERTAP 28 XLR B&H right?

Shaggy F. - Tim used the Ki Pro Minis on his project; you can see them in his images that he posted.

Regarding the cable you pointed out: the one you noted uses a right angle 4-pin XLR which I would not tend to recommend. The right angle 4-pin XLR connectors sometimes can be a bit tricky to fit when used with the Exoskeleton and the regular Ki Pro. I would recommend the use of a straight, not angled, 4-pin XLR connector. P-Tap to 4-pin XLR adapter cables with a straight connector are also readily available.

Jon, besides the Ki Pro Rod End Plate (which seems to be a bit hard to come by at the moment) are there any rod clamps that will work with the aja mounting plate? I tried a redrock clamp but unfortunately the two 10-32's towards the bottom of the plate are just placed a hair to close to each other to fit that clamp.

The guy at Filmtools and I spent about an hour trying to figure out a solution. No luck. :/

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Philipp

Philip E. - The rod endplates are available from AJA, but our resellers may simply need to order them so that they have them in stock.

If you want another option to mount to 15mm rods, you can use an option from Element Technica:

E L E M E N T _ T E C H N I C A - Viewing Product: V-DOCK 15mm (http://www.elementtechnica.com/products/view.php?p=33)

and

E L E M E N T _ T E C H N I C A - Viewing Product: AJA V-Lock Plate (http://www.elementtechnica.com/products/view.php?p=96)

You can see this in our document about mounting Ki Pro Mini available on the AJA website.

Additionally, Zacuto makes a number of accessories that could be used for mounting. There are four tap holes in the AJA mounting plate that can be used with their Double Mount as well as others.

Not sure if my eyes are playing a trick on me but in the seconded image I see the standard KiPro, no?

Shaggy F. - To the best of my knowledge, it's a Ki Pro Mini. That is what Tim said he used on the project. Though it's a little hard to see in the photo, the button layout seems to be a Ki Pro Mini.

It's the mini, we have a double v-mount system on it so we can mount it to our 350, so it looks a bit bigger because there's a Sony battery attached to the mini powering it.

I fell in love with this unit until I found out the recording card does not switch automatically, like my JVC GY-hm790. The KiPro Mini would work great on my Canon XLH1s, but the recording media is not adequate. Spending $400.00 - $600.00 for the 64gb card is cost prohibitive. Then being limited to capability of the CF card, made me look for a different option. Sound Device has a new unit that records to SSD Drive.

Kevin Y. - Just for the sake of clarity; the original Ki Pro can record to either spinning disk or SSD. The Ki Pro Mini only records to CF cards and, as you noted, does not yet feature rollover recording. While this is not a promised feature of the product, it is something we would like to provide in the future.
