Flycam Nano replacement parts

Bara — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 18:53:21 +0000

Hi my friends,

I got a flycam nano from a friend of mine, unfortunately one part is broken. It's the part where you can arrange the distance from the camera to the weights. You can see the part in the picture below. Is there any possibility to get replacement parts for a fly cam nano? Unfortunately I do not know the exact brand or company where my friend bought it, and neither he has any clue. The problem with my current one is that the hole is too big and the screw does not have any grib, so you can not tighten the screw. I've already thought about drilling the hole bigger and to use a bigger screw, but then the wings of the screw would be in the way.

I would really appreciate any suggestions!

Actual Camera shops in or near London?

Does anyone have any recommendations for actual real camera shops in or around London? Even better if they are up to date and sell DSLR gear as well. Not being terribly organized I often find I need to drive out to a shop to get a piece of kit at short notice rather than waiting a few days for delivery... but the shops are closing down at an alarming rate ... A database (or just a list) would be really useful for those of us that need a filter ring / hot shoe adaptor or lens hood at short notice .... cheers

Gh2 Broken LCD!!! Options?

kupchenpo — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 12:55:34 +0000

While traveling in Asia last month my tripod was toppled over (stupid setup, my fault) with the lcd out and it shattered some of the plastic and crippled the touch screen capability. I basically used some gaffers tape to hold things together for the rest of my trip (displays fine). Now that I'm home, I decided to take things apart and see what was causing the touch features to not work. As you'll see in the picture, the fall pulled a cable receptor off of the board, I'm guessing that is what enables the touch function? I tried making the contact by pressing it in place, but it had no effect. When I took the lcd off the body of the camera, what remaining functioning plastic that holds things together (screw holes) crumbled making it not possible for me to reattach properly.

MY QUESTIONS FOR YOU ALL:

Can this be fixed? How? Where to get the necessary parts/materials? Can anyone do it for me at a reasonable price?
If it's a lost cause. Where can I find a replacement LCD? I've scoured the web and thus far come up completely empty. Even if I get a new LCD, I'd need the plastic housing too.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. For now I'm just using the EVF and an ext. monitor, but I miss the functionality of that LCD big time.

Thank you.
