Looking for £45 free post in UK, or $80 delivered to USA. In immaculate, as new condition. Will be well packed. K-Tek U.S.A. KSM KS-M microphone suspension, perfect for booming short microphones like my Oktava MK012 (see my other listings) for film & TV work. Widely used in Film & TV for boom...

I just bought this VDB XL 5.5m boom pole on eBay. Can anybody tell me if it's the new or older design VDB please. I have read that the older design is much more desirable for some reason. Did I get a good deal? £290 delivered. Condition is supposedly excellent. It sure is very light at 690...

I feel like what I'm looking for isn't being made right now, but I wonder why. Field recorders with acceptable to very good pre-amps are all over the place. From the entry level Tascam DR100 & Zoom H4n to the Marantz PMD-661 and up to the Tascam HD P2. The thing is that they are all stereo...

I have found myself a perfect condition, used Marshall 7" HDMI monitor (The V-LCD70XP-HDMI) for £300!!!! Now that's a bargain. Panasonic battery mount to boot! Monitorisation, here I come......yippee!

I have made a wooden handle for my shoulder rig, somewhat like the old Aaton handgrip, and am looking to incorporate a record start/ stop button into it. Does anybody know what the circuit requirements are for an external record trigger for the GH2 please? Thanks

I'm having a bit of an extended nightmare that I can't wake up from! I have 2x simultaneous AVCHD camera footage tracks and some beautifully recorded audio, from a theatre promo I'm helping out with. To sync them, I've been using pluraleyes. When I re-import the FCP.xmp file, the sequence...

So, I have a GH2 and I live in the UK, a country with a 50Hz electrical system, and hence a 25p standard (PAL) for shooting video and film. We are taught at film school to NEVER shoot at 24p in the UK. I know old CRT monitors could be problematic, with a strobing bar moving up the screen on all...

I saw this Sandisk 95MB/s card and wondered what we thought to the value of it in relation to the GH2 - worth it, for somebody crazy enough to shoot a feature on the GH2? http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Extreme-64GB-SDXC-Card/dp/B005LFT3UW/ref=pd_luc_sbs_01_01_t_lh

I find sound syncing in the timeline an easy and straightforward task, but it's the next stage that I need advice with. After syncing up my good external audio with my camera audio, and then deleting the camera crap-audio, I then re-link the new audio with the video. So far, great! But then...

OK. Really? What I love, and what they should have done, is this: Tair 11a

I am done upgrading cameras. Last years cameras are good enough. I have 2x GH1s, which when hacked are amazing at ISO 100-400, in my opinion. I have decided that rather than upgrade to a camera like the GH2 that can shoot at higher ISO, I am going to buy lots of lights and shoot at 100 ISO, as...

So, here's what the blades look like anyway: Did they miss a trick here?

I have 2x GH1s, both hacked with LPowell's Peak Reliability 75Mbps hack. I use a full set of the faster, better Canon FDs, and I love the combination. My reasons for wanting to go GH2, in order of importance to me, are: 1. A larger, external monitor will help hugely with critical focussing...

My current set of lenses are a Lumix 14-45mm zoom, and Canon nFD 24mm f2 Canon nFD 35mm f2 Canon nFD 50mm f1.4 Canon nFD 85mm f1.8 Canon nFD 50mm macro f3.5 It's a nice FD collection, except that I often need a 14mm wide, and use the Lumix, which has a completely different aesthetic. Does...

OK, so those 24pN guys have got their own issues, what with pulldown and NTSC weird frame-rates. I thought we PAL fellows needed to discuss attaining a rock solid 25pN hack setting without those issues obfuscating our own. So far I have tried a few hacks, with varying degrees of success: 1...
