VerticalRush 0 #1 November 21, 2007 I'm using a Sony HC96 with a LANC switch and indicator, My camera keeps switching to Standby during different transitions of the skydive (ie... exit, sitfly to film tandem deploy, canopy opening...) I built a custom L bracket with a guard to protect the onboard op switch and recessed the LANC switch to protect them from riser slaps or other bumbs. Is anyone else having this problem?

bomb420 1 #2 November 21, 2007 My only thoughts are: 1) You have moisture in the switch, use an air compresssor and try blowing it out. The switch is not sealed and prone to this. 2) The switch contacts are boinked and it needs to be replaced. Find your closest Electrical engineering friend. 3) You got some metal filings in the assembly itself. The housing doesn't take much to pop off and then glue back together, just be careful not to crack it. Try the compressor trick first. Finally, you can just have a bad cameye. There is a trick to allow the same switch to turn on the camera and control the recording and standby. There are a few components that if bad/ not soldered correctly/ missing can cause this. Try all the above first or contact the manufacturer. (Or just start by snipping off the switch ) Of course what do I know... and why would I know HYPOXIC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
