We're interested in coming up with a Standards & Practices guide for our studio. We're looking to come up with a guide that we can give to our freelancers so that we can allow them to be creative, but still match whatever look we are going for. Does anyone have any good samples of one they...

What I'd like to do: Jam sync the time codes between two c300s and utilize the SDI Record Command feature. I can't seem to get the SDI rec command feature to work. I've gotten the timecodes synced, but the b-cam won't respond to the a-cam's trigger. Can anyone explain exactly which settings I...

This item is no longer available. I got a Vinten ProTouch 130 tripod from an old retired friend and I don't need it. It looks to be in fair condition except for the following. It is missing the mounting plate (they're expensive, but available from places like B&H) The lever to lock the plate...

A local couple wants me to help them produce a hunting reality show for the Outdoor Channel. They are an entertaining couple and we want the show to be partially informative/instructional, but also entertaining. There will be a total of three people and one dog on camera. We will focus on the...

When dealing with standard-def video, is it possible to convert a component video signal (three RCA connectors) to S-Video (4-pin DIN connector) without using a converter box? If so, where can I get the necessary adapter to do this?

This is a Bescor SLM-18XLRRNC Slimline, Lead Acid Battery Belt. I bought this battery pack in May 2009 and have used it around 300+ times. It is not holding a charge long enough for me to keep using it so I bought a new one. This does not include a charger. Here is a link to the same pack...

Is MainConcept's AVCHD Transcoder not being provided by Panasonic anymore? I don't see it on their site and it says it is no longer provided as of 11/26/10. Is there another place to download it?

http://www.vimeo.com/18212881 We had some fun in the snow yesterday. I only shot a some of this myself. I'm the guy in the green jacket on the blue scooter. WB was set at 5.6K preset and most settings were auto since my roommates were also filming. Most of it was pretty bad/shaky footage...

I bought this TH-M20 tripod in March of 2009 and have been using it for weddings and events with a Panasonic HMC150. Any camera of this size/weight (or smaller) will work with this tripod. It has been treated well and has only cosmetic wear & tear. Everything works smoothly. It uses the...

All the weddings I shoot are with one, two or sometimes three cameras with operators. I was just hired to shoot a wedding with one camera (and me, as the operator) and one assistant. The company hiring me is a photography studio trying to expand into video. While I will gladly recommend one...

These are two used two-stage Bogen Manfrotto Tripods with a geared center post. I will sell them individually for $100 each. One is missing the mounting plate so I will give you $15 off. The first one I sell will include the mounting plate. Buy both of them for $175. They have been used...

Is anyone planning to use the AF100 for ENG even though it lacks a servo zoom feature? I'd like to consider the camera for my business (and pleasure), but a lot of my work comes from event videography where manual zoom may look a little messy. I do a lot of single-camera events that involve...

What gadgets and gizmos will comprise your rig? Is this camera appropriate for weddings and events? If so, should it be used with a follow focus and shoulder mount? I'm asking because I feel my budget will need to be closer to $8,000 to afford an adequately functioning rig for event...

So how does the 3MOS compare to the other chips used in cameras? I'm having a hard time finding answers. Does 3MOS have artifacts similar to "jello" images, rolling shutter or skewing?

Shot this at a wedding last week. Let me know what you think! http://www.vimeo.com/14212044
