Yeah, I'm thinking about sending my camera in for that modification. Does it effect DOF?

How is the "noise" level after getting it fixed?
That's just about the smartest mod I've seen for the DVX. You need to start selling it for way too much money. Then 3 people need to post their own configurations in the DIY section, and then 5,000 people need to ask if they will be selling them, and for how much.

Do you need rails for that thing? It looks like there's a lot of abberation.

I heard that after you get the "clunk" fixed, you can't output through the firewire...:shocked:
And what's the fucking deal with all that noise anyway?

Of course, nylon washers, why didn't I think of that...:Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)...but it still doesn't address the noise issue...
Yeah dude, what the hell is going on with the noise issue?
This seems shady, he didn't even post any footage or anything. DON'T GIVE THIS GUY ANY MONEY UNTIL WE KNOW HE'S LEGIT!

is it a vibrating declunker?

No I think it's static. It does have a diffuser though.

Tom you shall recieve your cut (hopefully these suckers pay up front)
Well, I wish I had a place to host some footage I would show you all a DIY. But to keep my sales up I will not tell you where I purchaced a high quality, non-noise causing, un-vignetting, ultra diffused, titanium, clunk reduction bolt.
The footage is awsome... just some fixing in post, and your good to go.
I uploaded a frame from my footage. I was filming TJ ohara's pet the other day.

Almost cant even tell.

Very clever. :)
I hear a lot of feature films, which used this DVX mod, had to remove the bolt in post as well. Someone else figured out that if you use a magnet in the right spot the bolt isn't in the frame while shooting.

Wait, does this fix work for the HVX also? Somebody better tell Barry so he can include it in his book before it goes to press!
Finally, some truly innovative thinkers come around and solve our problems :thumbsup:

Does anybody know of a feature that has been shot with this?
Brandon Rice

"how much footage would you like with your noise sir?" .. "and would you care for a small side of clunk?"

You need to learn to embrace the noise. Noise (grain) is your friend. It gives such a "filmic" look. :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

Besides everything is so quiet when there isn't any noise.
Bring on da' noise!!

I think it just means to remove the sticker that's on the bolt mod.

i don't think anyone has talked about light loss yet, i bet that bolt gives up at least 2 stops.
TimurCivan
04-20-2006, 11:17 PM
nah 1.5.... i checked it.
Brandon Rice
04-20-2006, 11:29 PM
I heard it's less than a stop of light loss.
