I rarely carry around my Mole 2K since it's hard to find a circuit that has 2000w of power free on it...(plus it's really big and bulky). Instead, I bring around two 1Ks and try to run them to different circuits when possible. I was curious if anyone knew if there is a difference in lumens when...

I've been shooting on the FS700 since it came out. I often like to shoot in high contrast areas or heavy flares. This has often resulted in highlight aliasing and color fringing when shooting internal HD AVCHD on the FS700. This was caused by the internal downsampling of the camera. I was...

Did some tests of DNxHR in both LB and HQX modes. Here are the results: http://www.nextwavedv.com/atomos-shogun-and-avid-dnxhr-lb-vs-hqx-with-sony-a7s-4k/

I've got a brand new copy of DaVinci Resolve that I'm selling. It came with my new URSA camera and I already have a copy so I'm selling this one. $600 OBO Shipped CONUS. Email tony@nextwavedv.com if you're interested.

Selling a brand new BMPCC w/ Metabones EF Speedbooster, batteries and memory card. I purchased this kit to have an extra camera that can shoot RAW and ProRes. I never ended up using it and now I have a Shogun for my A7s so I'm covered. I only opened to make sure it worked. Includes: Blackmagic...

I've had my 7Q for several months now and I've mainly used it in ProRes 4K2HD. I wanted to start testing out RAW and shot some test footage in a high contrast spot. I brought the clip into Resolve but when I adjusted the exposure, it felt more like the 10 bit ProRes that I've been used to. No...

As a recorder goes, I've really loved having the 7Q with my FS700. As a monitor goes, I've been a bit underwhelmed. There always seems to be some slight color shift (towards green) from what I'm actually recording. It can be annoying when I have a client looking at the image and I have to...

I don't do a lot of time lapse, but it's fun to play around with. The A7s has an app that you can purchase and install on the phone to do internal time lapse. Here's my results from this past week. https://vimeo.com/100595869

Recording options aside, there are other features that have been promised yet are still not available. I do a lot of motion control work and one of the major features I was looking forward to with the 7Q was onion skinning. I'd really love to see it come out soon.

Did some food spec work with our FS700. A few shots were on the C300 but all slomo was with the FS700 at 240fps. Link

I'm moving away from steadycam style stabilizers and into 3-axis brushless gimbals. I've got two stabilizers that are practically new and have only been used once each. The Glidecam HD4000 comes with a Manfrotto 577 QR plate and monitor articulating mount. SOLD The Flycam 5500 comes with arm...

I've been a FS700 owner since day one and while I love the camera, I've always been frustrated with highlight aliasing and color fringing. I know this was an issue on the Canon C300 which was later fixed with a firmware update. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here is an...

I emailed Abel Cine if they had any update on availability of the 7Q. I was told they were expecting shipments to start coming in November. Just thought I'd share for anyone wondering.
