Hi Stuart,

You need to download the image sync app to your device, then switch the K1 WIFI on and the camera basically creates it's own hotspot which the sync app will find, pair the 2 and away you go.

I've done mine, but it took some patience, suggest having the manual to hand when you do as the pairing code is in the book.

You know you can tether it wireless to a tablet with the build in K1 wifi and a bit of Pentax free app ( image sync ) works a treat and you can fire the camera and make adjustments as well !!

Hi Rob,

Yes I know, what I was saying is if the exposure is adjusted by 10 seconds there is no real difference to the exposure so if it's 30 seconds or 40 seconds, there's very little visual difference and even less if the initial exposure runs into a minute or more.

As above, the phone apps work well, I've one called " Exposure Calculator " works on android and gives you options for various stops of ND Filter, you put in your current settings and it tells you the ideal settings with the filter value selected.

TBH, I find if your talking about adjusting the time by 10 seconds or less, there's very very little difference in the exposure recorded.

I'm probably going to go again in October, just for a day trip, weather dependant, why not join me if u can get a day off in the week ?

Thanks Ronniemac,

It can be a beast to handhold, the problem is these blighters move so fast and are a little unpredictable. I've tried a monopod with a bsll head and with a gimbal head and tbh you can't move fast enough to track them imo with these.

Looks vaguely familiar LOL

Agree with 1stEverPentax, Cad West is an easier climb, still tough but shorter, you can drive up to East, but there's only a few parking spaces and you have to know where to go up a lane through farmers fields.

Cad West is better if you want top side and East for bottom side and flying underneath you,

A 70 - 200 is perfectly good on a crop sensor camera, whilst a 100 - 300 on a full frame or longer, the 3 here were shot at around 330mm

This is the hotel I use, its about 2 miles from the Cad West / East car park, and a close-ish post code

Thanks Nigel

Did you get much through ? There was a rumour the Red Arrows were going through today.
