My new XF, 80mm LS, and new IQ180 arrived two days ago from CI (thanks!),
and I'm still super-giddy. Alas, I had to pack all my gear for my trip right away,
and I probably spent more time staring at the boxes and sniffing the smell of newness
than I did checking the gear out. I exaggerate...and blame Dante..and Ken..and this forum.
How mesmerized was I? I had forgotten all the other silly things like lighting - my Ranger RXs
could use new batteries, and my AcuteB needs another lithium battery.
Btw, how is it that a new LiFe battery is almost the price of a used AcuteB pack with head these days?
Also acquired an excellent 55mm LS non-Blue Ring, and wished I had more $$ for a 120mm macro...
though my RZ's macro and 180mm should fill that in.
Aside from some silliness about removing the front protective plate (solved) - I've seen a list
of IQ180 on XF some while back - but could someone elaborate?
1 - when I tried Live View over USB to my Macbook Pro 2013, it appeared I could not Capture from the laptop. Unless I'm missing it, it's a real problem, since I have a series where I have the camera rigged 10-15ft up in the air, shooting down. I have the Hahnel remote, but it's not long enough.
2 - Anyone with experience tethering longer than 15ft? I have Tether Boost and 15ft Tether USB cable.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks all.
