I am a Mac user, and I know I can use Parallels to run the software that Hayear has, but has anyone found a better piece of software (mac or Windows is fine)?  I could just record with Quicktime, but also looking for a way to take just pictures using the connection with the Mac.

I'm not entirely clear on what it is you are wanting to do. Are you wanting to record video from your microscope camera? If so, you will get better quality video recording to the internal SD card vs. connecting  the camera to a computer via USB and recording video from  the computer. I record all of my videos/photos on the internal sd card and  then just pop that card into my computer to transfer the files.

Well, the issue I'm having is how do I know when the thing is recording vs not recording.  Plus, I can't see the image to ensure it is in focus and all that.  If I am running to my computer, I can store it to the HDD and can see what is recording.  I've changed the battery in the remote and it still does not seem to do anything.  When I press the buttons on the top of the unit, it also does not seem like it does anything (other than holding down the one for power which will turn it off).

I'm not familiar with the Hayear brand of camera. I have an Eakins that you can start recording by either using the remote or pressing a button on the camera. There is also a light that starts blinking red on top of the camera when it is recording. I have a monitor on my bench attached via HDMI to the camera so I can see the framing and check focus.

Don't know if it's what you are looking for but I use obs studio for all my recording, at least you will be able to see what you are recording and see if you are recording or paused.

And it's free.

Can't you just use the basic Mac video software to record

I know I can with the basic windows software so would assume you could do it in Mac

      Oiling Dubois Depraz chrono module pivots (Omega Speedmaster Reduced)

      By Simeon · Posted

      Righty ho, I re-serviced the chrono module and got a reasonable result with minimal loss of amplitude when not running the chrono and about 30 degrees loss when running. Great. The problem is now that the chrono (and movement) stops running after about a minute or so, a tap on the watch starts it running again. No issues with the movement running when the chrono is stopped. Going to service it yet again, obviously some residual issues with friction in the chrono module (Very frustrating - I wish there was some way of testing it as I go!) I also seem to have a problem with the cannon pinion where the movement is running continuously (with the chrono stopped) but it's losing significant time / stopping. This is one of those two piece ETA style with a driving wheel pressed over the cannon pinion, obviously arranged for driving the chrono module. I had no issues with this prior to service and just added a small amount of grease between the driving wheel and the centre cannon pinion as the technical guide required. What's the best way of tightening these up? I would like to replace it but I guess this is going to be hard to find as it is dedicated to the DD chrono movement.

      He uses the micrometer cap, but he leaves the spring out (you can see that in the video). If you leave the spring in, the spindle will move up as well (as shown by @Knebo).

      Seems like he doesn't have the micrometer cap  attached to the spindle so he can only push down but cannot pull up? If the cap screws into the spindle I guess you don't need the spring? I only have a "normal" Seitz so I really have no idea.

      Lathe motor advice

      By Dell · Posted

      Yes in my opinion the 3/4HP is plenty but it’s your decision & yes it does come with speed control but foot operation so my reason for changing to potentiometer was because my leg shakes so it was like me revving the lathe & anyway I prefer to set the speed. I & a few others that I recommended the motor to run a Pultra 10mm lathe so if you have a 6 or 8mm B & L then it will be plenty, if you have seen any of my videos you will have seen that when using a graver I run quite slow without any problems.
