Next time maybe try to use mobile app and you phone for easy live view screen placed anywhere you want :D Better than destroying camera so you won't sell it latter as easy as without that "hack" done on it.

[@estebanisswimming]

Balls of steel. Congrats

[@ZeroPointProductions]

@@michaelbalaz I disagree totally, i think this is brilliant and its about time someone tried it. All those extra steps take away from what the vlogging thing is about, you should be able to quickly whip out your camera and press record. Not whip out your camera, go through sony's crap menu system to find the wifi connection options, grab your phone..bla bla bla, i couldn't even be bothered typing the rest.... you get where im going with this?

[@michaelbalaz]

Zero Point Productions Nope. I do not get where you are getting with this. You don’t have to go to camera menu. You just connect to camera wifi on phone with one click and click on app in mobile if you paired phone with camera before any time. Have you ever been vlogging or used that app on phone? Never seen anyone need to start recording vlog in 1 sec. With phone it takes me maybe 10 sec to make camera ready for vlogging and I don’t have to lose camera warranty and make it not easy to sell.

Can anyone tell me why this Madlad Channel isn't up there at the 2 milli mark with Pete McKinnon?

[@Groucho3321]

Because it needs more pointless b-roll of a coffee machine.

[@dawnfirephotography]

Patience.

[@Deathbynature89]

Because he doesn't do "cinematic" coffee making montages. Or pads out a "Two Minute Tuesday" with a 2 minute intro of irrelevant fluff. Or fill every scene transition or topic introduction with excessive B-Roll Bloat.

[@CountSorinsRealm]

Really it probably has to do with lack of opening and closing doors and keys and that kind of B-roll. And also because he rides a semi-dumb transportation tool only for the functional value of getting the smoothest gimbal shots in the game, as opposed to riding all kinds of bullshit one wheels and stuff for no reason.

[@toddgilligan]

Regular posts I would say! But yeah, think he is killing Pete. Pete has gone off the boil a bit, swearing prob doesn’t help, but I love it.

[@tehaurai]

If it is stiff it’s because you haven’t smoothed enough the little pin. Mine was stiff as mentioned and i proceeded to smooth it all the way and there is no resistance at all now. Great hack. Keep it up.

We should call this the "Alpha-A Hack". To tribute the Alpha A-mount Sony's DSLT cams that have the articulating screen that goes down all the way, and a couple of others that go Down and UP (a77, a99)! I just do something similar to your string hack, I just hold the camera with 1 hand, focus on the other hand. Then turn the camera around! More reliable than auto focus 😎

True. Maybe this will be the convo starter.

[@rogrdotnet]

I heard that Canon own the patent for the flippy screen you see on their cameras. Apparently Panasonic licence it off Canon but Sony aren't willing to do that. I think this is the reason for the completely different design where it flips upwards rather than out.

[@thaticelandicguy]

Hope so!

[@thaticelandicguy]

that would explain a lot! how can one own that? aaarg!

@@SignLanguageResources ah! then it's maybe smart if they would use Joshes tip, and make it 180 degree flip the other way, and then make the image flip when you flip the camera. Something in that direction! Epic! :-)

Don't need a longer cable. It reaches to the maximum that the articulating arms will move as is.

did this to my a7III, thank you! to everyone's info, removing the ribbon cable is needed to fully flip around the screen. I clipped my hinges first but the ribbon was too short to flip all the way. Also on my ribbon cable there were 2 plastic bulges that I cut away to make the cable move more freely. after that I put the metal protector of the cable (the part he takes off first) back on. Josh, you're a hopeless creative like many others out there, just keep producing, you'll easily fill the shoes of casey and pete soon ;)
