OSTCAM is interesting camera however it has one major problem and no its
not electronic. Acording to Olex but also to several people i talked to
including Anatoly for SlowMotion. Apparently registration pin pin is big
source of trouble and it courses flicker. It was introduced in order to
stabilize the picture but efect was opposite it couches some ghosting, due
to vibration. according to Olex this is because reg pin in on oposite side
form claw. i almost got one OSTCAM that had this problem and after days of
investigations i gave up.  what is ultra strange is that some cameras have
that issue and some dont. only one thing is constant, no one knows how to
fix this isse and only way is to remove reg pin and use it as any Konvas
