After tons of consideration, and great advise from many people of this forum, we decided to get the 2 XL2s and the complete rig for them.
Know if I sound like newbie, is because to video shooting and cameras, I am. But finally after lots of work and dedication, got the money and time to get into what I always wanted.
But need some more guidence from the experts. So far this is all that we are ordering from B&H:
2 Canon XL2
1 Sony DSR-11 VTR DECK
2 Bogen 3067 Deluxe Cine / Video Dolley
2 Anton Bauer Ultra light 2 Soft Box
2 Ultralight 2 Camera Mounted Light
2 Bogen / Manfrotto 3193 Professional Video Pro Tripod Legs with 516
Fluid Head
2 Pelican 1550 Pro Black Case w/Foam Insert
2 Titan Twin Charger
2 Sony - PVM-14L5/1 14" Professional Multiformat Monitor
2 Anton Bauer Dionic 90
2 Gold Mount Plates XL2 QRXL1Z
2 Sennheiser ME66 / K6 Professional Microphone
2 MZW66PRO Black Velour Windscreen
2 Bogen / Manfrotto 522 Camera Remote Control (for the canon though)
2 Bogen / Manfrotto Quick Release Video Camera Plate
2 NEBTEK 7 Inch Color Monitor
I wanted to get Matteboxes & follow focus unit; but which one would be best? I've read that only Cinetech makes a follow focus unit for the 20x lens. We are getting the 20x and not the manual lens, because we plan to shoot handheld at sometime.
We are currently looking into buying the equipmet for small clips that will be posted in our clients websites, but If we do decided to do weddings and special events, what kind of lighting gear would you guys recommend? Do we need one, or would the ultralights do the work?
Last thing. Filters for the mattebox? Why?
Thanks a lot, for all the help. You guys are truly one of the best infomational and instructional sites on the web!! ;D
