There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages. Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-) I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List sites. If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!! http://www.matronics.com/contribution or, you can send a personal check to the following address: Matronics / Matt Dralle 581 Jeannie Way Livermore, CA 94550 Thank you!

And hopefully doesn't break the bank either! Thanx Russ K ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:01:58 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Video Montage of Different Camera Mounts From: Rick Neilsen I think I have finally found the camera mount that I like best for my Drift 170 video camera. The first clip uses a mount I made that plugged into the Kolb wing fold fitting. It was fairly stable but too close to the wing. I couldn't figure a way to extend the mount away from the wing enough to get the wing out of the camera lense and keep it stable. In the second and third clips I used the wing fold fitting but the mount was bent down 45 degrees and the wing is STILL in the camera lense. This mount does a great job of photographing things straight down. I'm going to use this mount to video a shipwreck of the Novadock that is just below the surface off Silver Lake State Park in Lake Michigan. The problem with this mount is it is very sensitive to bumpy air and it bends the horizon and other things not directly in line with the front of the lense. The fourth clip uses the Drift strap mount attached to the bottom of the lift strut near the midpoint of the strut right outboard of the jury strut. The Drift strap mount uses a quick mount system that introduced a bit of slop in the mount. You have to look close in the video to see it but on the ground, in bumpy air and some RPMs, shake the camera enough to make it very blurry. The fifth clip uses the strap mount rapped around web material in the same lift strut location as clip four. I also put some duck tape on the male side of the drift quick mount to take up slack that causes slight camera oscillations. The sixth clip is the landing from the fifth clip. It was getting dark so I increased the brightness on play back. The brightness increase or low light caused the video to look grainy, the brightness increase also wiped out a nice sun set. This is the stabilized strap mount. I couldn't resist showing this clip because it was one of my best landings and it was on video. The video is on Vimio again at: http://vimeo.com/111421520 and the password is mears yes all lower case sorry Rick Neilsen Redrive VW Powered MKIIIC ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:44:02 AM PST US From: "John Hauck" Subject: RE: Kolb-List: Video Montage of Different Camera Mounts I liked the landing too.

I kept checking my Drift to see why you were getting all that curve in the videos. I don't remember mine being that way. Mine is set for 1080, but there is some adjustment to the magnification of the lens at 720. That might account for it, or I am never high enough to see the horizon? Glad to see that you found a sweet spot, its not all that easy on a plane that vibrates as much as they do.
