My Odyssey 7Q was stolen from set in NYC. Does anyone have any advice on how to track it should the thief try to sell it online or elsewhere?

For clarification, this is the part I am talking about.

The handle on my FS700 won't 100% tighten onto the camera or the extension handle I have from Westside AV. It's very secure when tightened but never fully stops, it just keeps turning and turning making a grinding noise. My guess is the rosette on the handle is worn down. Anyone else have this...

Apologies if this has been asked. I have the O7Q and love it. I just had this thought and am curious if it would work for a smaller footprint to get better HD footage than the internal codec. FS700 SDI into the AJA 4K2HD HDMI out to the Atomos Ninja Star. It wouldn't be the cheapest solution...

How can I get a replacement viewfinder attachment (loupe) for the FS700? Similarly has anyone used a different brand loupe to fit on the screen? Kinotehnik makes a viewfinder loupe that will cover a 3.5" LCD screen. It's shorter and sturdier than the Sony one. I know the Sony one can be...

Let me preface by saying this is probably unlikely, but I just had the idea and thought I'd throw it out there. A couple of years ago I bought the Dedolight 436 with DT36-1 ballast (www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/231419-REG/Dedolight_K436_400W_One_Light_Kit.html) for a great price on ebay. It...

Maybe this is a dumb question, but I can't find an answer: I just got a LA-EA4 to use phase detection with Alpha lenses on the FS700. I'm using the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8. When AF is activated the aperture is stuck at f/3.5. I know that the adapter won't let it open up any more than 3.5, but surely...

For a long time I've wanted to have a telephoto zoom lens that has autofocus and decent lowlight for the FS700. This is mainly for sports applications when it would really be a help. I've been using my Canon 100-400mm with Metabones speedbooster and adapter; it's an ok lens with great range but...

I want to buy this lens for use with my FS700 and A7s. I already have the speedbooster and EF to E Mount adapter, so it would makes sense to get the Canon mount version. However the idea of phase detection for video autofocus appeals to me, so I'm asking to anyone who has used the Sony version...
