http://portableapps.com/ is your friend I work in IT, use it all the time. VM ThinApp is good, but is really an enterprise solution that costs the world (we use it), AppV from MS is another, but again, enterprise solution.

Lines arrived at my door about 5 minutes ago! Very happy, looks the goods, thanks for the easy transaction PM-R33 Matt

someone link to the event info? can't find it on QR website. Cheers, Matt

awwwww yeaaah!

A few photos from riverfire last night, wasn't in the best location for the fireworks, and they were all hand held shots. These were the best few

Put me down for one, R33GTST, Series 2. Cheers Matt

put me down for a set - R33 GTS-T (1996 model Series 2). I'm fairly easy on colour but given my car is white, was hoping to get white lines with black fittings to contrast off the wheels which are about to be painted black. Cheer,s Matt

Canon representin here yo'!

+1 for xpmode, I've got FAST running in one (on 64bit Win7 Ultimate), can also use VM player too if needed

rough welcome guys... I'd be happy to help out on the photoshop front but skills are very rusty, I'm sure someone would be able to help out, this is MEANT to be generally friendly site after all

it wasn't cheap, but I think it was around $135 delivered from the states on ebay. Brilliant filter and I love using it. I'll be looking into the cokin kits shortly i think

Hey FST513, thanks for the comments! I actually have a B&W ND1000, but its a full filter, not graduated, so wasn't going to help me on the weekend, but I think you're right, I'm going to have a look into picking up a few graduated ones as I struggled to get the light balances correct. Cheers, Matt

Hi all, Been a while since i have posted, here is a few from the gold coast over the weekend:

hey, certainly will post results $$$ isn't a concern at this stage, just need to deliver a solution website is very interesting (used to do a lot of R/C flying!), going have a close look at it hehe. We already have access to UAV gear as a whole, so we are already covered in that space. The role of these kits is also to have a 'presence' in the sky with a person behind the camera to pick up on things in the field (and this will turn out cheaper than the UAV gear in the short term). Reason we are going to a digital signal is simply because we need to transmit over the 3g network at the moment so its got to go digital anyway. We are using analog capture devices at the moment which are clunky and not too reliable. I'm actually toying with the idea of using SLR lenses, attached to a lens adaptor that is fitted to a high end web cam (good quality sensor) and running it that way. I've got my feelers out to having a look at the EOS utilities for later camera revisions to thanks goldzilla

i've been looking at security camera stuff, from what I can see, a lot of them don't have great lens capabilities in terms of zoom (stablisation is also a problem), and getting a connection to them is also fun. A lot of the are IP based which may be doable, but not a lot of USB types. I agree, there has to be something around but I'm coming up blank a lot of areas I look. I'm open to all ideas though, I just tried my DSLR through the system and it certainly worked, but auto focus had to be done by a seperate button, not a deal breaker but still had the issue of connection (was just testing through the AV connection)

yeah its a tricky one, yes it has to be live streamed as the footage is viewed in real time back at a command centre to make strategic decisions on asset deployment. The footage is recorded both on the laptop and back at the command centre for later viewing if needed though. The gps is covered, we are using a seperate GPS that the software will pick up, its the video feed that I just have to worry about now. Battery life shouldn't be an issue, a couple of hours run time would be fine, and they usually take 3 or 4 batteries with them anyway for prolonged deployments. I've been playing around with the canon stuff, but it seems to only get live view through the EOS utility, and can only take single photos, not video through it. The trick is I need the software we use to pick it up as a 'camera' that is installed on the laptop, the EOS utility doesn't look like it will let me do that (I have a 500D, which does video but won't record on the PC). - Just had a look at that article, very interesting read. At the end of the day though i won't be sending high def down the line (NextG services won't handle it by a long shot), we currently use handcams, but a DSLR might offer us a much better zoom range and image stabilization which would be a big gain in its own right.

hey matt, yeah I'm doing some digging now, I use canons which have similar features but they all seem to need their custom software, which makes the time frame blow out as i need to have more software written to talk to it. Easier if I can find something that gets picked up by a windows native drivers OR just has a driver set I can use. I haven't given up on the canons though, just trying to find the drivers. Anyone with Nikon's that can comment on the actual practical use?

Hey all, I'm working on some stuff at work at the moment and we have a very interesting need for some specialised equipment we are building. We are building some ICT gear that will stream a live feed via a wireless internet card back to a command centre to get real time video information (GPS tagged as well for live map plotting). I need some help working out how to get the footage onto a laptop. I have a number of large vendors working on this with me at the moment and we are all finding its a tad challenging, to the point that some of the larger vendors may have to build something for me. But I want to think outside of the box, hence I figured I post here With everyone's video and photo knowledge I'm hoping someone as some ideas! Requirements: Highly mobile Will be going up in light aircraft, can not be permanently fixed High optical zoom (digital zoom is no good) Image Stabilization Must have a simple way to connect to the laptop (ie 1 cable if possible) What we have got: Single handy cam, AV out to a USB AV Capture device which the software picks up the feed from - has too many cables and is just messy 2.4ghz encrypted wireless system, works well until you get into buildings or in aircraft - so wireless is out for the moment Suggestions so far: USB Web Camera mode available on HandyCams - This was a great idea but new cameras don't have that feature anymore as there was no market drive for it FireWire Cable to PCMCIA card - this is a possible, but again a lot of Handy Cams are dropping firewire now and i want to keep the PCMCIA card slots free if possible I'm looking at DSLR's as an option as they have fantastic image stabilization now and a wide selection of lenses, but I still need a way to get a live feed back, AV should work but is not better than what we already have. Any thoughts?

Few pics from down at bulimba this morning for bbq breakfast

few shots from today, 1 at the dawn service (not a great shot but the best i could get), rest are down at wynnum.

yeah once you pop the condensor down you can easily see in them all, not much room form something to float around in the condensor one, but you never know

I have the exedy light weight in mine with a heavy ceramic clutch, revs bloody quick, but as MrStabby said, makes for a fun drive on the street lol. takes a while to get used to but I'm happy with the change, makes the engine feel more responsive

confirming, this DOES work on a series 2 with passenger airbags!!! As previously mentioned you need to undo the condenser air box and fan box to the left, shift the fanbox a few mm to the left, then pull down on the condenser, it will 'pop' down, giving you ample room to get your hand up there. Do not try and remove the condenser as there are pressurized pipes for the aircon in behind the box. When you put the condenser back in, just remember to check the seals between the firewall in the engine bay and push them back in as that's what 'pops' wen you pull down. I used a tiny 1/4 ratchet, thumb phillips screw driver and a 8mm spanner to get the 2 bolts off and on on the motor. My motor was pretty damaged, there were teeth missing from both gears as shown in the OP, flipped them both round 180, bolted everything back up and works great! KrazyKong, you are almost there, undo the unit to the left of what you have undone and keep going there are 2 nuts and 1 bolt holding the fan box on

hey guys, Just got back from a wedding in NZ, was in an incredible location. I took hundreds of photos, I've uploaded a few here: http://www.flickr.com/33driver Below a few highlight shots 90 Second Exposure at a relatives place just outside of Auckland Panorama - View from one of the houses we stayed on in at the lake - Full Size is here: Full Size Picturesque - Wedding Party had this down near the river for authentic 'framed shots' hehe Neutral Density Filter (thanks Zennon Jetty Shoty Another jetty

think i'm confused, I haven't seen that feature on my camera...lol I'm using class 6 cards so copy lag shouldn't be an issue?
