After reading some of the messages on "Overheat" it came to mine.
Usually I have no problem with the 416 cooling, living at 56deg. lat. in
northern British Columbia, but recently with the weather warming I`ve
noticed a rise in the head temp. display as I shoot more images, which
has added extra noise to the images. When I first started using the 416
I had a problem with the cable disconnecting when I slewed the scope, so
what I`ve done was to wrap 2in. duckt tape around from the color wheel
across the camera fins around the back of the camera holding down the
cable across the other side of the fins and back to the other side of
the color wheel, which works well for securing the cable to the camera
but probably is reducing the head cooling. I would appreciate any better
ideas for securing the cable to the camera head properly. Thanks, Wayne
