I just yesterday returned from a month in Chiang Mai, taking lots of pictures and touring around a bit. If it's as sensitive as promised then it really will pick up signals most anywhere. I too will likely leave it on the camera once installed. I do generally take very good care of my camera gear and it seems there will be lots of room in the area of the bag where it sits so as to not touch anything else. Not a surprise really if you see what is going on up there re China. The reason for the malfunction, however, is still not known, but I am positive, it has something to do with the big army placements on both sides of the border! Only “problem” I have had – service is better than excellent from Cecilia Cheng.Įrik, did your GPS start working again as you intended when you were away from the border region? Or was it constantly on and providing a fix? Did it stop providing a fix? When it is red, as per the manual, it means it's always on. I sent a email from my phone to Dawn Tech HKG and a couple of hours later I had a reply. The GPS started lightening constant red, which meant it was constantly switch on, and I had no idea what to do for the rest of my photo tour. I also keep my GPS on, so you have to remember to turn the camera same way, when putting into your photo bag not to damage the connection.Ī couple of months ago I have a problem, that it was not functioning at all, when I was in Lung Cu, Vietnam, which is a couple of kilometer from the border to China. The Dawn Tech units I have, has a string connected, which you fit to the strap-ring, but to screw it into the 10-pin socket is a nightmare, if you do not have piano-fingers, and I do not have. You are standing on the top of the mountain, and then you can see in the EXIF, that your lens was aimed at 347° and then you know the name of the village 4 km out in the horizon on tour photo! As said not important for my use. Some likes the electronic compass, but I admit it is there and not important for me. Any idea? How does it show up in EXIF data? Thanks, Kevin

I read the manual but it's not clear to me what the benefit is of the digital compass.

My pro 2 DC unit will arrive in a few days. I have an idea when that happened because at some point my images suddenly don't have the CPS tag any more.ĭawn Tech has a new model now, and I may buy another one, but it is important to screw it on tight and tighten it again once in a while. Eventually I lost one of them last week in some park.
If you don't screw it on tight, the GPS can fall off. But again, screwing something onto the 10-pin connection is a pain. I bought one first after determining that it worked well, I bought a second one. Last year I bought two Dawn Tech GPS from Hong Kong. They work well for me, but the 10-pin connection to the high-end Nikon SLRs is a pain to use, as there is little room to screw that on.
I have had 3 different brands in the past, but this one is far better, based on 2 years/30k photos experience.įor years I have been using Nikon's own GP-1 and GP-1a, which are identical units but the connection cable is a bit different.
There is a strong string attached to the unit, which you attach to the spring ring on the camera house, but I have not experience, that it detach itself from the 10-pin socket. I have today the gps from and it is functioning very well.
