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

      I put the original broken glass (whats left of it) behind the acrylic. This is how it originally looked like. A cheap clock but I like it. Very noisy when the alarm comes wake up guaranteed! 🙂

      Automatic vs Manual movement servicing

      By mbwatch · Posted

      If at all possible, find a service guide for the automatic movements your work on, because the lubrication procedures may have different requirements or rely on oils you would not use in a manual wind train (in addition to the braking grease you mentioned). Some autos like older Seikos do not have a manual wind option, so the procedure of letting down the mainspring without being able to use the crown may require a screwdriver in the ratchet wheel screw and great care. Do you have an auto movement you were planning to start with?

      I am an amateur, so there's that. I do not get fixated on amplitude, lift angles, and beat error. However, 4.8ms would bug me if it were my watch. But you must judge your own skills to appreciate the possibility of going backward. I suggest, that you button it up let your friend enjoy the watch for now. As your skills progress, come back to it and correct it. I assume that this watch has a fixed hairspring pin. Some modern watches have an adjustable pin along with adjustable regulator. These are trivial to get in beat. I own a valjoux 726 my dad gave me on my 18th birthday (a looooong time ago). I broke the ratchet wheel with an aggressive wind 4 yrs ago. I have been waiting for my skills to progress before doing a service. I am close. Your advice is well placed and I will apply it.

      I didn’t find any anomaly to the left of the red mark…reflection? this is the balance in its pivot in the inverted assembly. i can’t see any obvious kinks  and the spring is flat as far as I can see. Either the stud screw is missing, or it’s glued in… I don’t know. I’m loathe to fiddle with it. Any further insights? Thanks!

      Update!  I've dismantled it, cleaned all the glue off, and rebuilt and lubricated the base movement. I'll leave the chrono part for another day. It's running well - great amplitude and keeping time, but it's got a beat error of 4.8ms.    How important is it to correct this? I'm worried that the potential for making things worse having to take the hairspring off and on repeatedly to adjust this. Would anyone here accept it at that?
