That one is the one where I thought it is probably too bad from the quality for this Datbase, but here it is clearly to see, that the laser gets the mark in every rotation and another proof of the limit capability of my pocket camera (Canon IXUS) is seen when the Timeline spins and the laser sends the light in the rotation, when the camera get it, it is round of course, but not sharp round, a little bit like an egg from the color light.
...If the result is truly as you describe, do you think Syntax would have posted the video for instant criticism?
Could you explain how you conclude that it is the effect of cogging from the same video evidence, especially since Syntax has explained that the effect on the dash line is different when actually observed by the naked eye?
I have taken about five videos of my turntable and the quality of the laser dash appears different in each one depending on lighting, camera angle to the laser dash, distance etc. It is clear to me that the video evidence with an iPhone is far from a perfect method and I think the Micro video was taken with a SLR still camera that also does video.
Anyway, I saw the original Sutherland video, any video from your thread is easily on par with it. Even in the Sutherland video the length of the laser is not always equal in every rotation but after few revolutions it is always in the same area, too. You got it exactly right when you wrote about the camera recording ability. In reality it is even more clearly to see.
