  1. I'm currently working with the FS7 in a tv-drama production. It's a pretty solid camera all-around and the DOP and his crew seem quite content with it, but i'm having issues with it's timecode sync. I'm using an Ambient Tiny Lockit on the camera attached to the XDCA-FS7 extension unit. I get the camera to take in the timecode, i get it to show the EXT-LK text on the display which according to the manual means that it is locked to external timecode. The problem is, that after setting the timecode, the camera starts to drift pretty fast. I'm talking a frame or two in an hour. And the thing is, that the tiny lockit is running in the correct timecode, and is syncing continuously from another lockit on set. It seems like the FS7 is not at all locked to external timecode, but rather syncs once and then starts to run on it's own (rather wobbly) clock. The FS7 is on preset/free run, and the tc i/o switch is set to in. Have any of you experienced the same? Any ideas? It doesn't help that the camera never says anything if the timecode has problems. No warnings or blinking as with the Alexa...
