Thanks again!

Slick! Are you just using step-up rings to put the matte box on the SLR lens?

Nice rig Kyle. Fun to see the SGpro and micro follow focus together...

Fox

Yes--

He will ship both with the mattebox if he knows you're using it with a lens adapter. And at no additional charge.

[RWM]

Nice setup, Kyle! Congrats!

Holy crapulance, that is a nice rig. I'm kinda surprised the Bogen 503 can hold all that.

 

[kylekmd]

It's surprisingly lightweight. But just in case, I also have a heavy duty tripod set up currently supporting a Camcrane 2000.

Thanks everyone--

I'll get some footage together this week. I really like the DOF/look of the sgpro.

That's intimidatingly professional-looking.

 

[kylekmd]

Thanks. I'm very excited. I'm shooting a 12 minute short next week.

The DOF is great with the sgpro--I went crazy and bought several Nikon SLRs but so far my two favorites are the 85mm & 200mm. The superwide fisheye is fun, too.

I'll post some footy on the forum soon.

for some one like myself checking out equipment , how much was the total cost of your rig?

 

[mikecentola]

how do you like the mattebox with that setup?

i think the matte box options for me are the hyson films, redrock, or the indie snap.. Looks like a great setup!

 

[faultygoblin]

impressive, whats the total wieght of the contraption?

 

[pablokorona]

i'd be interested to know how the follow focus will treat you. I've just started messing with it, and i'm not impressed with the looseness of the setup.

 

[Bsmith]

wait, so how did you put all that together without breaking the bank?

 

[ProLost]

wow looks good, i haven't got anything else but the dvx yet

Yeah, what the heck could you do with just that?

[sbaileymediaman]

Wow!

I wish my film set looked that pro! For me it's put the dvx on the tripod. No lenses, mattboxes, monitors, followfocuses for me!

-Maybe oneday!

Wondering if you got the improved FF or the eariler version?

 

[AKundeti]

Nice setup.

What is the size of rod support?
