    [FS: General] SG Pro Ver3 for sale with EOS mount and Extras

    Our last 35mm Adapter is up for sale. Sad to see her go. It's an SG Pro Rev 3 with the flip adapter. Everything in good condition. One set screw missing, but its just simple hardware available anywhere if you really need it replaced. Other than that it is good to go. Glass is clean. Spins...

    MMB-1 vs Redrock MB vs Chrosziel MB450 (Any others?)

    I need to get new small and mid-size inventory outfitted with matteboxes. I don't care too much about price because these need to stand up to production. I find the decision has come down to these: Arri MMB-1: -2 Filters (One Rotates) -1 Circ Pol Slot -Various Step Rings and Accessories...

    Zacuto Universal Donut with Arri MMB-1

    Does the universal donut from Zacuto work on the MMB-1. If not direct, do any of their adapter rings work with it? Also, side question - Is the Letus Ultimate support screw a 1/4-20 size? I'm referring to the one on the bottom of the adapter.

    Pegasus rail slider and wire system videos? Where can we find info?

    I have a rather large exterior shoot coming up in march that features a lot of crane work through woods and trees. I would love to see how the new pegasus system works but I cant find any videos or reviews of the system other than the one short piece featured on cinevate's site. How long can...

    The Official End of the 35mm Adapter...

    http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=21835&page=3 Sadly the end has come and the start of a new beginning for 35mm sensor cinematography/photography. For less than the cost of a Letus Ultimate and HPX/HVX: S35 Sensor 5K PL, Canon, or Nikon Lenses ...The new Scarlet.

    How to split voltage and wattage?

    I've got a 50Amp Nema 14-50 dual voltage connection on my crystal sync genny. I've spoken with Mole and my understanding is that I can run the genny at 250V and split each leg into either dual 100amp Bates or dual 60amp Bates and run a 5K on each of the 60amp paddles or possibly even a 6K on...

    Anton Bauer Mount for Redrock "Power Pod"

    I noticed on Dolgin's site that they had a customer with a AB mount on a Redrock Power Pod. Is this available from RR? Or is there a standard AB Mount that matches the screw holes on the Power Pod? My goal is the same setup - A rail mounted Vdoubler to power all Dtap accessories (Remote FF...

    Cinevate dolly vs Panther Husky vs Losmandy Spider Dolly (or others)

    Its time to dump the heavy duty stuff and go with something more mobile and easier to setup. Cinevate's Dolly looks like a nice piece but it lacks a low rig similar to losmandy's with the variable columns and some other accessories (like the pivoting head mount). So, has anyone used it...

    New Shoot 35/SGPro Flip X/Y adjustment ring?

    Anyone using this new ring yet on an HVX? I'm curious how well it works or what it even looks like. It released a month ago and I haven't heard a thing. I wanted to get some feedback before laying down the $150 (after shipping). Also, does it include an achromat in that? I thought I read...

    Brand New SGPro Follow Focus with Accessory Port.

    SOLD I had this up for sale a month or so ago but the unit was accidentally packed with other "new" gear and didn't get sorted with the "for sale" gear of the month, so I was unable to ship it promptly to the buyer. I respectfully refunded the money as soon as I knew. Now, I have it here...

    Leica 35-70 vs Minolta 28-70 vs Nikon 28-70

    Curious if anyone has experience with these. A few photo buffs have told me that the Minolta and Leica are superior to Angenieux's offering but the Minolta has poor MFD and the Leica is a full 1.25 stops slower but features a fantastic macro (.26m). Who's had their hands on them and primarily...

    Can HPX170 output SDI and Component at same time?

    Wondering if both can be output at same time or if it performs similarly to HVX where one knocks out the other. Would love to do AC and DP monitors without having to go into a breakout box

    4 Channel Output Mixers? Or mix with the 4 Channel Recorder?

    Looking at the R4 Pro, I think it would make for an affordable jump into 4 channel recording. However all my mixers are 2 channel (PSC M4/Wendt X4) and to my knowledge they are only 2 channel output. What kind of 4 channel output options are out there? Or does the R4 Pro have good enough...

    Whats the fastest shutter you've run on the SGPro. Include F-stop and conditions.

    As the title says. This is in part out of curiosity and for testing. I was shooting some exterior special FX work this weekend in the blazing heat here and we ran 1/500 and 1/1000 with no ND and F1.4-F2.8 Depending on time of day. Some shots were divided in half by sky in top of frame, so...

    SGPro EX1 Achromat Fix with the HVX. Stills and Review.

    I had the opportunity to use the EX1 first hand in the field on a production for the Ladd family under David Ladd (Producer of Hart's War, ect). The film exclusively used the SGPro. While I get permission to post a couple of screens, here is a pair of before/after test stills. On a side...
