KeyMission 360 & KeyMission 170
I’m so incredibly excited by all the possibilities these new cameras, tools bring to storytelling! I’ve had the KeyMission 360 and KeyMission 170 for a week now. My good friends at Crown Camera rushed them to me once they were shipped by Nikon. Ever since I’ve been learning these things. Like so many of you (cause I’ve heard from you), it’s not been perfect sailing. Pairing was smooth as silk the first time, the first time. Staying paired and connected has not been smooth. It doesn’t effect shooting, just controlling the camera remotely with the iPhone. I too have experienced the “Overheating” error message and at this time, I don’t have a solution to pass along. The KeyMission 360/170 Utility works great and has been the saving grace (great job for outputting a finished file!).
The most important aspect to me is the enormous potential of this new technology! The VIDEO these units product is spectacular! To this point, all I have to offer is the basic battery / location tests and the BTS video I shot in TX this past week (see below). The first “beauty” shoot I’ll be doing with the is still a week off. The one issue I do see that I’m working through are the giant files these lit’l beauts create. I know within a short time I’ll have a bucket of these cameras and dealing with all that video will be a challenge but the story they will tell will be spectacular and that’s what it’s all about! mtc
