Yes, different people/productions have different needs. As I recall you were a big fan of having a 'delete last take' feature for the XD-Disc recorders -- which is something I've never once used. And one of my clients keeps all their cameras on 'clip continuous record' -- a feature I never...

Haven't needed them in 2022 because I haven't dealt with a shoot with 9 cameras, not all using the same codec, continuously rolling for an event since 2021. And it's been even longer since I had to take a 5+ camera multicam performance (where cameras would roll continuously for a minimum of...

Thanks Doug! Will check it out next time I have cameras in hand. Would I be right in assuming that the FX9 has this feature as well?

Plus a couple more factors I should have mentioned -- Presenters wearing glasses that at some times pick up light reflections/glare - thereby obscuring their eyes. Also the tendency to sometimes turn away from camera to refer to something (someone) on the screen behind them...

After several days of shooting with a combination of several (4 - 6) FX6 and FX9 cameras (and only 2 or 3 operators - to minimize people on set and maintain social distancing) I had gotten to the point of trusting and relying on the eye auto-focus as our subjects moved around. Then I ran into an...

Does anyone have recommendations for a LANC (rear) zoom control for the CX350? Would like something that dose smooth starts and stops and can vary speeds. Primarily would be using for corporate presentations, but possibly also for theater/music/performance shoots. Thanks!

In resolve Studio 17 I just tried taking a 4k timeline and outputting to an 8k file. At the point that I go to add it to the Render Queue, a warning pops up that says that image processing is performed at the timeline resolution as set in Project Settings. It goes on to say that choosing an...

I've been a big fan of the EVA1 ever since I started using it a couple of years ago. Had stayed with my F3 until my clients started requiring 4k - and never liked the color of the FS7 or lack of features of the FS5. EVA1 had the features I needed plus great color - and super-light design. But...

Just saw that new firmware 3.0 for EVA1 is here. Impressive list of updates! (Not that there are so many updates, but each one looks REALLY USEFUL!!!) Planning to upgrade and try it out this weekend. :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMefWXa87ks

Pretty much everyone I've been shooting for lately has been cutting my EVA1 footage on Premiere pro. Now I have something coming up where the client is on Avid (no - they don't have adobe or FCP.) Anything special I should know or tell them? Any suggestions on best transcoder to convert to Dnx...

This is the low-priced alternative mount for my old Zacuto EVF. Probably about $100. in adapters/clamps/rods - mostly from SmallRig. When I put the camera on the 'Cowboy Studio' shoulder mount (at top) the eyepiece is in the perfect spot for my eye. Of course the $100. didn't include the cost...

Using the ROP for the high angle camera.,, This was a shoot for which we thought we would have a high angle shot on a jib or ladder. Thought it would be a lot more convenient using the ROP than constantly running up and down (or living at the top of the ladder for 2 days. Surprise!! - On setup...

I have a shoot coming up where I'll have an EVA1 high on a jib doing a master overhead shot of some dancers. I figured the ROP would be a good way to roll/cut. But today took a look to try to test controlling playback with the ROP - and couldn't figure it out. The Rec Chk button in the ROP...

Hi, Looking to find some other EVA1 owner/ops. Occasionally I get a call where I need a matching camera & operator (where producers want everything to be the same model) and I'd prefer to find other EVA1 owners rather than rent and have an operator who may not be used to the camera. If you...

Are you wanting to flip the camera or turn it on its side? I'm in the middle of constructing a 'Home Depot' 90 degree rig for a head-to-toe green screen shoot next week. Of course I want to have then do the turning in post, since, the whole reason for the vertical rig is to get that much more...
