Hi all,
I am brand new to this forum. I looked at the X7 section to see if this was specifically discussed but did not see anything. If I missed it, please direct me there if possible.
I have been flying the Inspire 2 X7 combo for a few months now. On the last job, I was reviewing footage and noticed parallel, slightly ghosted lines on the top and left side of the frame. After eliminating possible factors such as a single lens issue, filter/balance ring stacking, lens hood alignment, replay devices, etc., I have come to one conclusion that I am fairly confident in.
On my X7, when installing any lens, there is a very small amount of "play" or movement left in the lens after you have completely rotated it. It is very subtle and can't translate to more than a half a millimeter of "play" I would say.
If the lens is completely turned clockwise, there are no lines. If it is turned that very small amount counter-clockwise, the lines appear. It seems quite finicky and seems quite possible that this movement could occur during flight if the conditions were extreme enough.
Also, when the lines are visible, the system is NOT giving me any sort of "lens mounted incorrectly" warning.
I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue and if that "play" in the lens is common to other users as well.
Thank you
