[Avenger007]

is that a marshall monitor?

[Chenopup]

Looks like a modified Cavision shouldermount? - can I get more details on it, plus your monitor mount?

cheno

[Luis Caffesse]

Looks good marc.
The 24mm still looked like the edges might be a bit soft - not sure if that's just me, its hard to tell with the handheld stuff...

Nice rig too by the way!
:thumbsup:

By the way - what was the music?
Nice piece on the 24mm vid.

[MarcMalkowski]

thanks y'all!

Well the song in the 24mm clip is "Avril 14th" by Aphex Twin!

It's a cavision shouldermount, yep. I am still waiting for my Beyerdynamic shotgun mic and Redrock Micro Mattebox to arrive... argh!

Oh and yes, it's a 7" Marshall HD LCD!

[taormina]

Are thos Cavision grips? They look different (better) than the normal ones.

[MarcMalkowski]

Yep those are Cavision grips. The extended ones!

[Andrew Brinkhaus]

You've got a nice setup. I'm jealous! Would be better with the matte box, though. :beer:

[Matty_g]

how long before the arms get tired :)

[taormina]

Did you extend them or did they come that way?

[MarcMalkowski]

they came that way!

Well I can operate the rig for about 30 minutes before the arms get tired :)

But I am thinking about getting an ENG rig pro from dvtec as a support!

[Tom Plapper]

What are you using to mount the Marshall to the Cavision?

[Ram S.O.S]

What are you using to mount the Marshall to the Cavision?

Good question I really want to know also.

[MarcMalkowski]

The Marshall is mounted to the 15mm rods with the following setup:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/272987-REG/Bogen_Manfrotto_484_484_Mini_Ball_Head.html

It's the most rigid and solid solution I could come up with so far... the UltraLight Arm and an Israeli just made the Marshall shake around like crazy...

[alpi69]

Servus Marc, sehr schönes Setup.

How do you power the Marshall. On the Fotos it looks a bit frontheavy, and you got a battery on the backside. Which battery is that, how long does it run the Marshall?

[bill totolo]

Those FD's perform nicely for you.

Man, we're all putting our HVX's on steroids. I shoot with an XDCam regularly but our HVX's are outweighing the ENG cameras at this point.

[MarcMalkowski]

Hi Alpi,
it's a regular 12V lead-gel battery... the marshall runs about...two - three hours with it.

Here's another picture:

Here's a tiny snippet of the shoot:

[ecking]

Don't you have the camera on the wrong shoulder in the top pic? I'm left handed and even I can't use my camera like that! Nice rig though!

[MarcMalkowski]

Well on the top pic I shot myself in a mirror...

I can really handle it well...

[ecking]

Oh yeah it was into a mirror! lol My bad.

[galbach]

What Scene file settings do you use with the M2 attached?

Yeah... I recognize that vignetting...

[SimonB]

Sweet rig.

[longshanks]

sorry, but IMHO the redrock blows, i would have gone with a letus or sgpro. great set-up though
