I'm going to be using a 70 lb instrument and we won't have crankovators. What's the safe weight limit to run up a couple risers on a Mombo, say with 2 crew?

I'd like to see if there is a standard or common practice to color mixed footage ( in this case FS5 FS7 RAW Log2 & Log3) Start with input LUTs from Log? ACES? I am not a colorist, I just want to have a better awareness of this, but I'm looking for details.

Is there any way to reach an actual person at Sony, for tech support? Are there any living reps available? I've been sending emails to various Sony tech supports but am getting no response.

maybe I'm missing something on your setup, but set your camera to 3200K and forget about the gels (which will cost you almost 2 stops of output) then: 1. use the 300 as a key in a softbox or bounce, 3/4 backlight, over the whole set. use the 120D to light the far background. Then use a...

Is it possible to buy extra dividers one or two at a time? It seems I always need one more or different than I get with the kits. this applies to different manufacturers.

i’m looking for advice or experiences with the F3 and older production monitors like one of the sony 2050 or jvc v20l. i think it will be fed out of a shogun or BMVA 4k, but occasionally straight from the camera. are there any compatibility issues or potential problems?

maybe i'm going nuts, but I can't find time lapse (or interval, or whatever sony calls it this time) on the Z150. Is 1 fps the slowest possible? Any guidance?

I’m looking for source for a jib with Only a 1.5 to 2 foot reach. I’d like to use it on a doorway dolly. . It has to be rock solid, no travel jibs. It needs to support a fully kitted F3 or Ursa

I've started playing with an F3 and would like to find some basic menu setup suggestions. I've googled and there's plenty, but nothing that concise and encompassing. Can anyone point me to some links?

I’ve had to use various oddball monitors for a while, but now i’d like to get something like a JVC Verite DT-V17G1Z I know these are older monitors, but budget you know. Can anyone give me the rundown on what may or may not work well with these types of monitors, and, say, an f3?

I have a friend who's interested in buying an FS5, but wants to see how the footage will behave in his NLE. Is there anywhere he can download some footage recorded INTERNALLY, straight from the camera?

Anyone know a trick for getting the plastic film off of sheet of beadboard? I have some that the plastic just rips in tiny shreds

I'm looking for a small monitor that can run off internal or external battery (like a jump starter or cigarette lighter adapter) and will take a GH3 input. Will something like a portable DVD player work? I don't need false color etc, just for director to watch performance.

for anyone who has used one, is it stiff/strong/stable enough to to do extreme tilts with a 10 lb camera mounted? I won't put up with slop or backlash in the system. I use a Dana Dolly but need something that will fit in small spaces and be faster setup.

some people like a little Plusgreen in addition to the CTB (or native 5200K). If Polaroid22 wants the look of the framegrab (on a much smaller scale), leave the LED at its native color temp and balance the camera to 3200K, and add 1/8 or so Plusgreen to the backlight. Of course if the LED...
