Panasonic fs7

[saltlick]

I am finally looking at building this cam. I see the hack is the same as the fs6 which has a tutorial but I don’t see anything for the external hack. Anybody know where I can find that? Thanks

Are you just looking for the solder contact spots for externals ?

Also I contacted Ralph as he routes the wires different and sent me pics of how he does it. I have the pics on my other computer but I will track them down and post them here. Again it’s the way Ralph runs his wires and should show where to solder the neg and pos for externals and how to route them. Hope that’s what u are requiring

Yes, that is what I am looking for. I did see some run their wires through the tripod mount hole and others like you out the top. I think I will do like you, out the top. But the main thing I am looking for now is the neg and pos solder points. Thanks

I run my wires different than what Ralph does here. But this way is better as no tight spots or pressure spots that pinch the wires. I do it this way now. Less issues. Ralph sent me this in 2020. It is his pics and tutorial.

What has everyone determined to be a good distance away from the cam for the slave flash? I am doing the build with a hard wired baby slave in a separate case. I am just wondering for wire length on how far above the camera gives the best results for the slave flash? I will have the camera flash covered. Thanks,

I'd say 2-4 feet usually, 2 foot is far enough that you don't get the flash reflection in the eyes back at the camera most of the time and if you go to far away you can start to get weird shadows.

Thanks, That is what I was looking for to get rid of the eye flash reflection.

These are pics from a hard wired baby slave. The two elk pics have the hard wired baby slave on another tree 3 feet to the left of the camera.
The bull was about 1.5 feet above the cam. The baby slaves make the pictures look amazing when it all comes together. Monkey with the camera ISO and you will achieve truly amazing pics ..

I place the a hard wired baby slave about 2 to 3 feet above the camera AND about 6 foot to the side. It still has plenty of power to light the area enough for great results. I will try to "dig up" some images..
