Some tripods have set screws on the bottom of the platform the ball head sits on. You will need to back them out before the ball head will turn.

I also have a 4490 scanner and have wondered if I am missing anything that I would gain by replacing it with a V600. The newer version has an LED light, so warms up faster. Anythung else?

Morning Star mentioned the Tony Phillips book. Another good book about the M1iii and M1x is by Joe McDonald: https://mcdonaldwildlife.e-junkie.com/product/1689014/. He describes and goes through how he sets up the menus for wildlife photography.

If you want small and portable, but not cheap consider the Indiegogo Bullett. 1TB $119, 2 TB $198.

Olympus USA has a "trade-in bonus" offer. You ask for a quote to sell a camera or lens you own(does not need to be Olympus) then you get a code that is worth $200, so the cost is $1600, not $1800 for the E-M1iii. You get the discount even if you do not accept the offer.

Also, there is an offer in GB for a free Capture One Pro 20 if the E-M1iii is preordered from an authorized dealer in GB. I hope that might be offered in the US also.

Combine this with any of a number of USB 12 Volt cigarette adapters and you can charge 2 batteries while you are in the safari vehicle:

https://www.amazon.com/Wasabi-Power-Battery-Charger-EN-EL15/dp/B01HFOJS2O/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=nikon+en-el15+battery+charger+wasabi&qid=1570996609&sr=8-5

The circuitry inside the charger boosts the voltage so that the 5V input can charge the higher battery voltage. There may also be chargers that work with the 12V directly.

Airlines restrict Li batteries (like the USB backup batteries) to one 100 Whr capacity battery per passenger. You and your wife could each have one.

E3 is the "name" of the connector that Canon uses. It is 2.5mm in diameter and has 3 contacts-2 on the shaft and the tip. The third party manufacturers use the term to describe compatible connectors.

I think the OMD-EM10mk3 uses the same connector as the OMD-EM1mk2. It is the same as a Canon E3 connector which is a 2.5 mm stereo plug. Any remote that works with a Canon E3 should work with the 2 new Olympus cameras. Here is a thread about the connector on the OMD-EM1mk2:

Thanks for the replies.
The official Olympus position is that it should rarely be needed; but when it is, do not do it yourself, send it in for service.
On other sites, comments range from the Olympus position to "no big deal, do it the same as on any other camera".
In the video Jerry refers to, the presenter describes a menu setting on Sony cameras that stabilizes the sensor without it being actively recording an image. Is a similar setting available on
Olympus cameras?
I use a Rocket blower, but the vacuum technique sounds useful also.

Would someone with experience cleaning the sensor on Olympus or other cameras with IBIS comment on their technique and risk of damaging the sensor shift mechanism. (Rab-Eye suggested I place this question in a new topic)
Thanks,
Darryl

Sorry for the delayed response, but I just now saw this thread. Any remote with a 2.5mm 3 connector plug that works with Canons will work with the EM1.2

If you are considering a 4K monitor, today Amazon has the Dell 27" P2715Q for $450 and the 24" P2415Q for $400. I've been using the 27" version for about 3 months and love it. My video card was several years old and had to be upgraded, so keep that additional expense in mind.
