I should ask an Indian tracker to put his ear to the ground.The Cloud is a different eModule. There are now two announced "eModules":
- (Traditional/original) eModule with resonance distance measuring
- eModule Cloud with optical distance measuring
A batch of the traditional eModules is ready to go they say, as soon as the math/performance is perfect.
:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:Don't be cynical, Bob. This is a clear step forward: they used to have only one unavailable version of the eModule, and now they have two.

The Cambo is nice and compact, and the AE looks like its built as well as the Arca or Alpa. I was seriously considering it. If the LV on the IQ was more usable, this would be a no brainer. As it stands, I think LV is quite usable for composing, but I need something more idiot proof for focussing.A few further thoughts (most of it pure opinion, so of course you'll want to think through if this applies to your priorities/needs/ways-of-shooting):.....
Bit more rise/fall, bit more shift, and the ability to use a 4x5 film holder. With the trade-off of moderate increases in size, weight, and cost. Otherwise the same as the RM3Di.I am thinking that I would need accurate focus more often than I would need the extra 5mm, so certainly leaning towards the Arca. My point on RL was that for the extra bulk, it only offers an extra 5mm of travel in each direction. Are there any additional movements in the RL (understand there is an additional 10mm on the rise/fall as well) that would be work considering?
Absolutely. When the lens moves the point of view changes. If there is anything in the foreground this causes problems/artifacts when stitching (even if you don't think you'll stitch I'd encourage you to keep your mind open in that regard as my experience as a vendor is many users do end up stitching even if they didn't think they would).Is there any value in the movement for rise/fall being a drop of the back versus a rise of the lens?
This will be no problem at any short shutter speed (e.g. 1/60th).If I go the RM route, I am hoping when I occasionally need larger shift, I can just flip the whole camera on its side via my Cube, rather than messing with L-brackets.
Sounds like you're after a tech camera for all the right reasons. I agree you'll see major improvements in every area you list.My main reason for going tech is to keep things small and compact, not necessarily light. THis is so I can get most of my stuff and a week's worth of "stay-alive" neccessities into a kayak. I have used the DF, but it's bulky, and the wides leave me wanting more for. Worst of it is the mirror/shutter vibrations, that keep haunting me, even with the wireless remote and MUP.
Sounds like an intermediate signal from the seventies.P.S.
That alpenhorn is really annoying LOL
