I have all of these, plus 30 feet of indie-dolly --- whoohoo! I'm finally set! Oh, wait... I could really use another boom pole and mic (carbon fiber, this time), better lavs, a curved dolly system, more lights, more lenses, a more portable, quick set-up dolly (scooter shooter?), more flags, scrims, butterflies, c-stands, etc... Damn, this is an expensive hobby! (I'm the expensive hubby --- or so says my wife.)

hey mocho try this motor head ,you can save hallf the price, i have the crane works great
http://www.jdigitalproduction.com/mall/Kessler-Crane_PRODUCTS_CamControl.asp?subsize=&subtotal=&subweight=0&thedate=5%2F10%2F2006&thetime=10%3A18%3A58+PM&I1.x=41&I1.y=9
 
I have no problem spending less, even better, having it sooner ;) That does look good. Thanks for the tip

From all the crane I have seen, it seem the best solution. Seem very solid construction.
 
has anyone shot HVX200 on Nikon f2.8 lens? Is 2.8 enough light? or is it still to dark in general?

does anyone know of an alternative lens support other than the Redrock for the M2 adapter & Nikon lens? (redrock is out of stock with th lens support and they do not know when the next batch will be manufactured)

thank you.
 
"enough light" for what? I've shot with that setup, both a 17-35mm f/2.8 and a 180mm. It's more than adequate for exteriors in day and half-light. Interiors would need a fair amount of light pumped into them, but nothing extravagant. Night exteriors would probably be really problematic.
 
I set mine up as demonstrated on the redrock site but I don't like the rod sticking out that far in the front so I put the shims UNDER the M2. It works PERFECT and the rods are spaced evenly on the camera (like they should be).
 
I shimmed the actual M2 as well -- but I'm worried I'll have to do it the weird way once the follow focus arrives. Hopefully not!
