Hi, I have about 10 Sony L Series 970 batteries that I use with my Odyssey 7Q and my FS700. I have been using them weekly for the past 3-4 years and a few of them perform really poorly and only last about 50-60% as long as the others. I even have on that will not charge to 100%, the camera...

I have seen so much talk about the A7RII and the autofocus improvements in photo mode with the metabones adapter. Does the autofocus work really well for video mode as well when using the Metabones adapter? Also, how well does the video autofocus work with Native Sony E-Mount lenses? Anyone have...

When I record using the Odyssey 7Q 4k Raw Burst mode at 120fps the playback is set to 29.97. I would like it to play back at 23.976 in Play mode on the Odyssey 7Q. Is there a setting to make this change on the Odyssey? Also, when I load it into Davinci Resolve I can't get the dng frames to be...

Does anyone use a Macbook Pro to convert 4k Raw CDNG files recorded with the odyssey 7Q on location? If so, using Davinci Resolve, how many frames per second in the render would you get you would get converting the 4k Raw to an editable 2k or 1080 prores? I get about 19 frames per second with my...

Has anyone successfully removed the rubberized SDI port cover on the FS700. It gets in the way and I would like to remove it, but don't want to just rip it off. If I take off those two little screws next to the SDI port is it removable then? Thanks! Rob

When you tighten down the Cineslider or the Stealth slider does the carriage lock solid? Or is there a little bit of play when its locked. My reason for asking is I want to lock the slider carriage and then use the tripod head mounted on top for panning and tilting for some shots. Is it locked...

Is there a 29 minute time limit for recording when using XAVC-S on the A7S in the US? I have heard that it doesn't have a limit. Is there anyone with a US A7S that could let me know? Thanks! Rob

I would like to convert the base of my Oconnor 50 to a 100mm ball for a new and modern tripod with a 100mm bowl. Is this a mitchell mount? How do I securely attache a 100mm ball to this head? Any suggestions? Thanks! Rob

When I am recording in 24fps I set my shutter to 48. When I switch to Super Slow 120fps mode the shutter switches to 125 which is fine. If I change from 125 to 250 the problem I have is when I exit Super Slow Mode the shutter speed of 48 is now set to 120. I would love it if I could make the...

I am interest in getting a lanc button attached to my glide cam to make start and stop video recording easier. Will any lanc controller work with the FS700 by pugging into the jack at the back of the camera? Is all lanc code the same for all camera which have lanc ability? Does anyone know of...

I am looking for any experience our suggestions you guys may have for the fastest location backup which places the media in two places before I erase the SSD and use it again. Here is what I am planning and please let me know if you have any suggestions: Use the Seagate Thunderbolt SATA reader...

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the Kessler Kwik Release System? Or has anyone used Zacuto's Tripod Adapter Plate system? I am looking to upgrade from my Manfrotto 577 quick release system. Just haven't seen them in person and was wondering what you guys think? Thanks! Rob

Do you have to push the record button twice to begin recording with the Zoom H6? It drives me nuts that I have to push record twice with my zoom h4n. I am looking into purchasing the Zoom H6 only if you only have to press record once to begin recording. Thanks! Rob

Has anyone done any comparisons of the 2K Raw S-Log vs S-Log recorded on the internal codec? I know that 2K is recorded as 2048x1080 which is more pixels than HD, but is there any more detail with the raw image? I will mostly be using 2K by cropping the right and left sides to get HD 1080p...
