So I had my FS700 and 7Q out in the 90º humid heat of the Southern US on Saturday and had an issue. I found that I could only power the O7Q on a Sony 970 battery for about 6 minutes before the low voltage alert would kick in - and that's with hiding the video image on the monitor to reduce...

Has anyone else thought about getting an anti-glare film for their Odyssey 7/7Q? After using the device for a while, I feel like I don't really need the current screen protector's labeling to know what is what on the unit and would much rather have less reflection off the screen. I know...

I'm using a Pelican 1400 case. It has the depth needed for both the CD L-Series Battery Plate and the Westside AV hood, with enough space on the side for 2 970 batteries and eventually more SSDs on the side. I like having one case to carry all the things I need to run the 7Q.

Actually, even though the description doesn't mention it, these docks are designed for 2.5" as well. I have a similar one currently that is a one-slot, USB 3.0 dock that works with my CD drive perfectly. I just want one now that is Thunderbolt 2 and with two-slots.

I have been using a Pelican 1510 to move my FS700, lens, batteries, etc. from my office to shoots for the last year or so and really enjoy it. However, as I've built the kit out more and more with rods, monitors, lens supports and all that stuff, I'm finding that I'm spending more time than I'd...

I have friends who are involved in my local university's mascot program and we got talking about a fun concept for a video. I got brainstorming and I thought it'd be too much fun not to make. So, we put together a quick one-day 6-hour shoot with myself and another volunteer crew member and had...

I use a Glidecam 4000 HD regularly with my work, and it works great with a FS700. Actually, coming from an EX1R, I was able to dramatically reduce the weight of the whole rig as the FS700 in its simplest form is 2-3 lbs lighter. Learning to balance a Glidecam (or other stabilizer) is just a...

I wanted to post a little word of warning to my fellow FS700 shooters. Yesterday, while at a shoot, my ND wheel got slightly stuck. As I needed to continue shooting, I jiggled the switch slightly until it got loose. However, when it got loose, the wheel was out of phase and the filters were...
