    Started getting this message today, Err when I press the shutter. Cleaned the contacts, updated the firmware, tried different lenses but still getting the message. It takes an image but also will not go into live view, and yes I did reset it to factory, still no joy. Any suggestions? I started...

    Rocky's Quadcopter "Stuff"

    Got the Phantom 3 in today, everything is charging, did you go through the proper battery conditioning on yours?

    Quick disconnect strap connectors

    Years ago I had some all metal connectors to attach the strap to the camera. They had a hook type end that would fit into the strap lugs on the camera body and a threaded barrel that would tighten down on the hook, sorry but it is hard to describe. Has anyone seen anything like that lately? If...

    Not ready to make the shift to CC just yet. I hace Photoshop CS6 and had Lightroom 5. Did the upgrade to LR6 (last stand alone) yesterday.

    WoW Slider

    Is anyone using this slider? I purchased it to do the Ken Burns effect on a web sites and notice a degradation in picture quality. I am wondering if I should use images that are slightly larger than my desired output size if it is increasing the image size to create the effect and that is where...

Here are some pics of it hooked up to the D810, worked the same with the D800. Uses the usb cable that comes with the cameras. You can also give the app a try by...
