You don’t have to keep turning the lock stops every time. It should slope into the log so when you turn the log it’s rides on it and slides down the log stops. Some people also been using 2” PVC they put over it to help the log slide on it. After log is turned pull them off and your off and running
I use steel pipe over the log stops when turning a log or cant. Never gets hung up on the stop. Are you using a wireless mic? What type? It sounds good.
A lot of people have suggested that I try pvc pipe for the log stops. Have you tried that? Do you think the steel pipe is better? Yes to the wireless mic and it's from DJI that I bought off Amazon. amzn.to/3ih9Fo4 It's somewhat expensive but you get what you pay for. I have it hooked up to my Canon Mark 50 camera and they do a good job together but the mics also work with my GoPro's.
@@Daileywoodworking i have not trying the pvc, but a friend of mine uses them. If you try them make sure to get thick wall pvc. I took an steel post from an old chain link fence (I think it is about 2-1/2 inches) and cut into 2 two foot sections. They are thin wall so not as heavy as regular steel pipe. They really do make turning log easier. I just made a video about using my overhead trolley hoist to turn a log. It shows me using my pipes. I like you mic system. Your sound was very good. That's really important! I sometimes use Comica wireless mics with my go pros. I think they are cheaper than DJI. But usually just use the GP mics. StaY safe!
I'll have to watch that trolley video. I often wonder why people who have a building for their sawmill don't use something like that. Seems like a logical step, I've seen it used moving steel around. I'm going to try the pvc myself, I don't have anything else around here that I could use. One of the things that I noticed with just the GP on board mics was that if I was in front of the camera they picked up my voice just fine but not so much if I was behind the camera. So I bought the DJI. It came down to the DJI or Rode and I think, at the time, the Rode mics were more expensive.
