I'm selling my PMW-EX3 in immaculate condition and very low hours. I have been the sole owner/operator since new and always look after my kit very well. It's only had very light and occasional use and is fully working, producing excellent HD images. As such, it only has 308 hours operation...

I'm selling my cherrished PMW-350K in immaculate condition and very low hours. I have been the sole owner/operator since new and always look after my kit very well. It's only had very light and occasional use and is fully working, producing excellent HD images. As such, it only has 297 hours...

Anyone else managed to install and run the transfer tool on Windows 8.1? I installed but when I try running it, it doesn't even start. A/V software off, latest Java installed etc.

Mitch or anyone else that knows: The readme doc that comes with the CD Prores transfer tool states this: Anyone know what this actually means technically. Would this affect playback in Windows Premiere Pro CC 2014 for instance? I've played clips in Premiere that have been copied directly from...

I see the Adobe CC Premiere Pro CC 2014 update is now live. Anyone tested yet to see if magenta highlight issue with RAW files is fixed?

I missed this one when it was announced 1 sept: http://www.metabones.com/products/details/MB_SPEF-E-BM2 so what's the consensus? Was it shown at IBC? Looks like it's just new glass?

I'm flying out to Barbados next week for a few days corporate shoot. I may end up shooting an interview in the shade with a bright (if it's not raining!) beach/sea background. there will be no additional lighting - all natural (maybe a reflector). I plan on shooting 4K2HD in SLog2. Since I've...

I just reported this to CD support but wondered if anyone else can reproduce?... I was outside testing out my super extended sunscreen (made out of foamboard and gaffa) and tried to turn up the OLED brightness. I found that it went past 100% I clicked ok somewhere around 130% and went back to...

I know this has been discussed a bit on this forum but couldn't find the threads. I'm off to Barbados in 2 weeks, filming over a week. I was wondering what secure/reliable and fast offload solutions people use in the field? I only have 2 x 256GB SSD's, so may need to get another 512GB although...

So I've not shot any green screen footage with the FS700 and O7Q at all yet. I've got my first chromakey shoot in a while next week. I'm wanting to shoot 4K2HD, the subject will be simple talking heads. RAW probably isn't an option as I'm sure the content will exceed my current recording...

I've long been wanting the compressed 4K on the O7Q to enable me to start filming interviews in 4K and being able to produce a 'virtual' two camera shoot by simply cropping. Final delivery in HD. I've not done this with 4K RAW as I simply don't have the space on my SSDs for the kind if durations...

I was thinking about ways to modify the Movcam bracket to allow free tilt adjustment of the O7Q. I just bought a rosette ring from smallrig: http://www.coollcd.com/smallrig-rosette-arri_p1273.html I thought that adding one of these between the rosettes would allow the tilt movement whilst...

I'd recommend the TrekPak too after seeng Mitch's previous post. Only trouble is, getting one to UK/ Europe is very expensive shipping :(

Just wondering what you guys think about the Atomos Shogun? OK, it's not out yet but based on the specs they've released. Of course, the question is will it ship v1 with all that is promised or like the O7Q, will it ship at v0.3 ;) Support for all the ProRes flavours and DNxHD is nice. As far...

There's an update to Premiere Pro CC 2014 (2014.0.1) today but still no sign of a fix for the O7Q RAW footage magenta highlight problem. At least it's not mentioned in the release notes and one user on the Adobe forum says it's not fixed yet. Mitch - has anyone at CD had recent discussions...
