Hi all, I looked through YouTube, but all the vloggers seem to focus on the photography side when it comes to direct comparisons. I'm looking for opinions about the Viltrox AF vs the Fuji AF lenses, in terms of video performance. Mostly about the old Fuji AF Lenses since those are more of a...

Hi all, I was looking into a Fuji XT4 (or XS10) because of the 240fps. But then I thought, maybe there's something better out there. Maybe an older RED camera for instance? While I'm comparing spec sheets. Maybe some of you know any sleepers? Criteria 4k is nice (to crop in) but 2k is ok More...

Hi, What green and magenta filter correction do you use for your leds or what do you recommend? I came accross the Lee Zircon system which is made specially for LED, but it doesn't have both green and magenta... Do you keep all strengths or only the lower end of the spectrum? I thought going...

Hi all! Looking for a cheap, but relatively decent wireless transmitter set. Doesn't need to be anything fancy or complicated. Just to feed image to directors monitor (documentary style). No need to transmit 4K, but should be able to read 4K (Fuji) HDMI (or both Hdmi and SDI) Range atleast 10...

Hi all, most reviews I see are about how lightweight, compact or easy to setup they are. While easy setup is nice, the other criteria aren't very important for me. What are the best gimbals in 2021 (they don't have to be new) for these criteria. Criteria Load capacity around 3kg (or more of...

Hi, does anybody know if it's possible to power the XT3 with the VG-XT3 batterygrip externally through a dummy battery? Does it need to have a battery in it in order for it to work? Or just the single dummy battery can do the trick? Thanks

Hi, I need to do more research, and already asked some time ago about gitzo legs. But maybe some of you already have the perfect solution. I'm looking for a tripod & head combination that works for video as well as for photo. Of course you can use a video tripod and head for photo with...

Hi, here with another round of questions, as the search engine almost only wants to refer to Led par options. Basically tell me everything you know about pars and leko's :) I know Par 64 bulbs have the lenses incorporated, and you have them in various beam angles. They are 1000 Watts and the...

Hi, not sure if it should be in the lighting forum, but since it's also lighting I'd thought I'd ask here. Projectors / Beamers come in vast different price ranges. What is a good enough projector to be able to film the projection? Or more importantly, what makes a projector good enough? Good...

Hi, I didn't know Gitzo made 100mm half bowl tripods. Browsing the net I came across the Gitzo GT 505. Any opinions how good or bad it is? Vibrations? My current setup is quite heavy duty (and heavy as well) but it has a floor spreader which can sometimes be unhandy. Camera weighs around...

Hi, I'm currently researching but thought I'd simultaneously ask here since there are quite a lot of brands. Looking to build a basic lighting package. Of course price is important. Fixtures above +-600 EUR are too high, and fixtures near that range are for high power. I'm making categories...

HI ALL, out of nowhere I suddenly am looking for a (stills)camera. Years ago, I was quite up to date with what was going around and stuff, but now I'm not. I'll cut to what I'm looking for: • Digital (I have my go to body for film) • A GOOD Viewfinder (if it's an evf, it has to be almost as...

HI all, traveling to london very soon, and taking my F35 with me. I'm going with the eurostar, apparently they do X-ray scanning (I called them). Also the girl on the phone could not guarantee that they would be okay with hand-checking it. Was wondering if these security checks are harmful...

HI, So my set-up has XLR inputs but no level controls. I have a project coming up in a week or two, and as some of the days could be one-man-band-ish no level control could be a problem. (Although I haven't tested how acceptable the sound is with a mic directly fed into the xlr inputs. And I...

Recording through hd-sdi is what I want to do indeed. I have done this before with a separate sound guy with a mixette that went fine, although we had 8 tracks with each clip while only the first 2 tracks were containing sound. But we worked around that problem. But this time I need something...
