The times I've used it, we've just shoved a big 1TB drive on there, and recorded in something lightweight, like 1080p Prores LT. Means you have the entire production, every shot, to-hand at video...

Having LUTs and recording built into the monitor is a real boon. Once you've trained up the director or scripty to operate the recorders, life gets much easier as they're never asking you to check...

The shoulder mount thing really isn’t a big issue if you just put a v-mount battery out the back of the camera. I’ve got about 3kg of lens/mattebox/follow focus on mine, and I can get perfect balance...

That'd be my guess too:

16-35mm T/3.1
24-70mm T/3.1
70-200mm T/3.1

If they work as well as it sounds like the 16-35mm does (strong manual mechanics in addition to auto focus), then it'd be an...

**removing this thread, because I've just run the tests again and am getting inconsistent results from my meter (initially my incident meter appeared to be accurate, and now the reflected meter...

The 28-135mm is just an awful lens to operate. The mechanics are hot trash. I’d suggest saving your money and putting it towards something else.

Well, my garage at least! :)



Do you not like S709? I love it. Like Arri's Rec709 LUT I think it just starts everything off in a lovely, attractive space.

I've been trying to suss out...

Bump.

The Chrosziel kit looks nice, just be aware of the lens support issues if you think you might use any lenses other than native e-mount ones - supporting lens adapters is a bit tricky (due to that...

Well my little gal just arrived this afternoon, so I set to, trying to figure out a temporary rig (while I wait for a few FX6-specific parts to arrive).

Supporting the PL-mount properly was the...

Hi everyone,

Looking for an Arri Cforce Mini RF motor, if anyone has one they’re looking to offload, let me know.

Cheers,

I haven't noticed any real differences in smoothness, just ease-of-use - which is vastly improved.

One area that is problematic is the remote focus control (for Fuji lenses at least) through the...

I picked up a "Sports" Emmy nomination year before last (for some work I did for NBC for the Winter Olympics). Is that one a fraud too, or are they different from "regional" Emmys?

It's Arri Dovetails or bust for me. I refuse to muck around with smaller systems any more, life is simpler for it.

If you want “bloomy”, skip the Black Promists, and go for the straight Promists. The “black” dots they use in the BPMs specifically reduce blooming (compared to regular Promists, which use white dots)

As a former Nikon (now Fuji) guy (for stills). I've always found Canon and Sony both pretty awful ergonomically. The Sonys have the advantage of being incredibly customisable - so you can generally...

You won’t get proper monitoring from the camera in HFR recording. So you’ll need external monitoring capable of doing the desqueeze (if you need to shoot above 24/25fps.

Looks good. The PL-mount solution is definitely what I need.

Just something to be aware of though, Wooden Camera are using their pre-existing Venice/Ursa Mini baseplate for the FX6, but when I...

The photography companies all blew up with the move the digital, but that momentum and demand was never going to be sustained indefinitely. The interesting question is which ones will successfully...

Hmm... my two Arris, the LMB-25 and MMB-2 both come in at around 620g. So I'm starting to think it's not really worth the effort to swap one of them over to a 450-500g unit, only the featherweight...

The Wooden Camera Zip Box Pro would probably be my pick of the new small/minimalist matteboxes - you can configure it for both swing away and clamp-on.

I think that's a good strategy. The big 26v batteries won't give up the ghost as quickly as the little 14.4v ones do (lighting just hammers those poor batteries). So they should be a longer-lasting...

As much as I dislike v-mounts (they come off way too easily), it’d be silly to switch over down here. Everything (cameras, monitors, lights) all uses v-mount plates.

The mini batteries are...

I already have a Bright Tangerine baseplate, so my plan is just use that to attach the camera to my Wooden Camera shoulder rig for handheld work.

I didn’t realise the card reader could do both,...

I think it'll basically take over duties for every gig that isn't renting in a Mini. That seems to basically be where the market has split (here in Melbourne at leat) - there are smaller gigs that...
