Does anyone know the ISO/ASA of the: a- the HVX200, and/or b- the P+S technik 35mm adapter ??? thanks so much in advance!

I have a question- I have the handheld glidecam 2000 which i feel comfortable with, but my director is considering using a glidecam gold series or v series (for the hvx200 w/ mini35 and 35mm lenses)- how difficult is the learning curve to be comfortable using the vest-style steady cam...

Has anyone else experienced the problem in FCP (5.1.2) that trying to preview some CONTENTS folders causes the program to unexpectedly quit? This happens to me only occasionally, and honestly I only have 500 mb of free space on my internal HD (everything else is on a nearly full external HD)...

i apologize for probably reposting the most common thread on here, but i couldn't find the answer to my question in the search... i am shooting today and I cannot seem to get the p2 cards/store to work with my mac. I THINK i have downloaded the correct drivers, etc., but i still get "The disk...

Hey I did a search but couldnt find an answer to my question: what is the EI/ASA of the HVX200, and does adding the mini35 change the sensitivity? thanks!

I'll be renting an HVX soon and was wondering if all the required software and/or drivers could be found online? Or does it typically come with a rental package? thanks

i'm going to be renting the following rig: HVX200 P+S Technik mini35 Support Rods 35mm zoom lens mattebox follow focus I was considering throwing it all on my manfrotto, but i'm concerned because the legs can support 26 lbs, but the 501 head says it can only handle 13.3 lbs... the hvx and...

Hey I'm going to be shooting something at the end of the month with the hvx (for the first time) and I don't really have one to explore until day 1 of production, so I here are my questions: If I am shooting 1080p HD, what is involved with keeping a continuous workflow on set. by this I mean...

Hey everyone! Long story short I just got thrown into the middle of a project that wants to shoot with the HVX and P+S Technik. I have next to no time to explore the camera or shoot some test footage. I own and know the DVX like the back of my hand, so basically I was wondering how much...

hi, i recently taped a studio television project at my school. it was recorded in a deck (i need to check the brand and model, etc.) on miniDV. in this deck and others like it, the video plays back normal. however, when i went to watch it back at home in my DVX, the playback- both the video...

hey I've had this battery for I guess about 2 years now, and the thing doesn't last anywhere near the length it should (MAYBE 3 hours tops even if i'm just using the viewfinder and NOT the LCD).. I know Li-ion batteries start to lose their charge if they are perpetually overcharged, but I am...

Hey everyone, I'm working on a spoof of a 1950's PSA, I've watched a few and I noticed a big characteristic of them is that old analog reel-to-reel sound. Does anyone know how to get a similar sound, that kinda stuffy, saturated effect? I'm thinking of layering some record static overtop, but is...

I was browsing the samples section on the Redrock website (http://www.redrockmicro.com/samples.html) and, besides from the stunning footage, I noticed many of the (DVX) samples are in widescreen - were these shot with letterbox in camera or is there some sort of way to shoot anamorphic in unison...

I am planning on buying CAVision's 15mm support rod system ($160 on B&H!), but as far as I can tell the rods are only 6" long. Down the road I'm planning on getting a mattebox, FFocus system, and 35mm adapter, so I need the rods to be long - where can I find longer 15mm rods, I can't find them...

hi im looking at picking up one of CAVision's 4x4 matteboxes (http://www.cavision.com/matteboxes/4x4hs/4x4hs.htm), but I am still on the fence as to whether or not I will invest in an anamorphic converter or just crop in post. does anyone know if this MB will work with the anamorphic, and if...
