Pedro51 Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 They are LED lights (I didn’t check when they were put in that they were as specified), but I guess they also reflect the AC supply. Perhaps someone who knows about these things can clarify. After a couple or worrying days (personal age related stuff), I really enjoyed the night, I had some good dices with Pat, who is usually away up the road from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlotsNZ Posted September 19 Author Report Share Posted September 19 (edited) Raw footage from the GoPro. The advantage of a static camera and remote enables us to grab different angles. It’s weird Peter, my phone captures last night also have some flicker which we don’t see with the naked eye. Will have to try using alternative frame rates sometime to see if it solves the problem Edited September 19 by SlotsNZ Quote Custodian of many used screws (quite a few loose ) * Recovering Lapsed Slot Addict * Companion of other delusional slot addicts * Total kidder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EME Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Great night Pete, Love Thursday nights the shit flows, good to see you back Rod, and don't be to long till next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlotsNZ Posted September 20 Author Report Share Posted September 20 Pedro - I believe I may have solved the flickering issue. Having been reminded that your tubes are LED not fluoro, I did a web search, and found some YouTube threads on GoPro about switching a “deep in the bowels” camera setting between 60hz and 50hz when under LED lights to fix this very problem. So hopefully that proves to be the cure.

SlotsNZ Posted September 26 Author Report Share Posted September 26 STILL waiting for Olifer to advise my order of 3D chassis is ready to ship. meanwhile, I am talking to Vasco at National Racers 3D - also in Portugal, with plans for him to send me some chassis in a few weeks when he has completed a design project. So if anyone from our club wants any product from them - holler. Postage tracked seems reasonable- 5 chassis for €15 as an indicator. https://www.nationalracers3d.com/shop My order will include a couple of Scalextric Falcon XB chassis.

They seem to be quite expensive until you consider that the motor 'pod' is built into the chassis so you don't have the additional cost of buying a separate Slot.It (or similar) pod. I was thinking of buying a couple of these for some of my Avant Slot cars. Den Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlotsNZ Posted September 26 Author Report Share Posted September 26 (edited) Some video from last night. Unfortunately having switched to the limited frame rate and definition PAL modes to avoid any possibility of flicker, the quality suffers.

Yeah, I forgot to get a solo pic, thought I’d collected all the mugs. (sorry Jas), so he is just in the group shots. The software also has limits on 6 “actors” to name.
