I understand what you are saying and your position, but at the same time, I respectfully think that it's unfortunately more "lawyer-like" than "engineer-like". If you are saying that you don't want to give a judgement as to whether a battery that's 1.86 mm taller and .45mm larger in diameter will fit because you don't know that the vendor will send batteries that are the size that's advertised (and therefore don't want to be held accountable for such advice), that seems silly to me. If the batteries the vendor sends end up being different in size from what that vendor advertised, then the fault would lie with that vendor, not with you. The question still boils down to whether a cumulative 5.58mm in length (3 x 1.86mm) will fit within the tolerance of that spring. I have made the "educated guess" that it will fit, and will order the batteries. I will let you know when I get them if they fit and work or not. Thanks.
Excellent, thanks!
Dear Admin,
You mentioned to user speed-dragon, the following requirements (quoted below) for additional batteries that would be compatible with both the ProView S3 unit and your charger.
I found some at this website: http://www.batteryjunction.com/efest-3712-button.html
Their specs are as follows:
Chemistry: Li-Ion
Voltage: 3.7V
Battery size: 18350
Capacity: 900mAh
Estimated charge cycles: 500
Diameter: 0.72" (18.45mm)
Height: 1.47" (37.36mm)
Weight: 1.94 oz (55g)
Button Top
Unprotected Cell
So, my question to you is about size. I note that the size of the batteries I found online is a slight bit bigger in diameter and in height. Since you said that there is a spring in the battery screw, do you think that 3 of these would fit well in the ProViewS3?
Also, is there anything in the specs for these Efest 18350 batteries that would give you any concern about using them with both the ProView S3 and your charger?
thanks,
Paul
Hi speed_dragon,
Those vendors seem sloppy. The dimension numbers all look a bit strange. Please ask them if their 18350 battery meets below requirement:
1. button top
2. No protection PCB
3. about 35.5mm length & 18mm diameter. There is a spring on the battery screw, so slight variation in length will be OK.
I saw your demo video about shooting a continuous low to high shot. Very nice. https://vimeo.com/194641614
My question is what shooting mode should I use to do this type of shot? Full follow? or Follow pan? or Follow Tilt?
thanks, in advance.
After having lots of trouble getting the ProView S3 initially set up, I finally made it on about the 8th or 9th try. Yea!
Now, I have a question about re-setting the weight in the setup to account for the use of the phone WITH its case on. In my situation, I am using an iPhone 7Plus and had originally set the ProView S3 up with the suggested weight of 188 grams with the balanced weight attached. My phone uses a Tech21 Evo Elite case which the manufacturer says weighs 29 grams. That would give me a total weight of the phone and case combined of 217 grams which is still within the stated upper limits for the ProView S3. I have checked and made sure that the phone (with the case attached) does fit comfortably and securely in the bracket of the ProView S3.
Here is my question: Do I need to need to start all over and follow all the original 4 steps of setting the unit up from the beginning (including deleting all my current settings and re downloading the software)? Or, can I simply go into the preferences and reset the weight from 188 to 217?
Please advise.
