I shoot sports so I use long lenses often. In the past I used 15mm rod systems but after my second loose lens mount (one fs100 and one FS700) decided it was time for a better solution and bought the Ward long lens bar from RRS http://www.reallyrightstuff.com/Kennan-Ward-Super-Tele-Package Its...

FYI Tried the Zacuto shoulder pad VCT base plate on my FS7 and it was just to big, with prime SLR lenses it blocked the focus rings and no room for lens support or follow focus. If you only have one camera you need to switch out all of your support gear to VCT because screwing and unscrewing...

Admittedly I am not very tech savvy but I just pointed at well lit white card increased the gain and opened up an f1.4 lens then looked at my scopes.... slog 3 flat lined at 94 and SLOG 2 at 109

agree 100%, I have a both the Nikon 400mm 2.8 AFS VR and 600mm f4 AFS (97% used for stills) for 4k video honestly can't see any difference to my used Tokina 200-500 I bought for $275 on Ebay.... obviously 2.8 and f4 let more light, and shooting at large apertures can be cool for a look but its...

I feel it absolutely needs to be supported (I use the 70-200 Nikon often) There are other way to support heavy lenses if you do not want to go with a 15mm rod set up. check out the image (not sure if I should link Ebay sales here, just search for long lens support) you mount the lens for on...

The package Really Right Stuff makes for long lens video set ups is called the Kennan Ward package, mine is a tweaked version. and has a shorter bottom bar (red arrow) and a double camp (blue arrow) I got the double because several of my lenses have Kirk, Markins, and ARCA plates and worried...

I own the Nikon AFS 400mm 2.8 and 600mm f4 and they really are amazing probably the best super telephoto lenses you can buy BUT they both out resolve 4k then add the slower shutter speeds and movement of following your subject with video vs stills I am not convinced you get all that much benefit...

Looking forward to it, hope you can squeeze in some picture profile information or maybe even better yet make a separate tutorial on Sony PPs seems like would be fairly popular and cover many Sony cameras The fs5 is so light and small I wonder with the grip, handle and LCD removed if we...

I tried and tried but I can't reproduce the issue https://youtu.be/geTvj0KWDxE except, when I edited on a UDH timeline by cropping in a great deal because every time I crop it would "upsize" back to UHD (wish I knew the correct terminology, Im sure upsize isn't it :) ) on an UHD time line...

Looking forward to it... Just one more thing to add to my list of wants... no rubber pads on the plates, spend a $2000 bucks on a decent head and sticks and one plate makes the whole thing spongy like a $150 tripod :) For now I whipped this up for the times I need 15mm rods (lens support or...

Anyone try the beta version of the Atomos Shogun FS700 RAW-ProRes 6.4 firmware yet?

I use my 700 for a ton of motor sports so I need to haul it around with large lenses on it and found 15mm rods a little to flex for that type of work, I now use a bar and clamp system and its rock solid and no way to snap the lens mount. Its fully adjustable for length and lens foot height from...

I have the Anton Bauer FGM-S battery plate for my FS100 and I assumed it would work with my FS700 also (they use the same battery) but it does not seem to fit, any idea if this can be made to work somehow? Anton Bauer FGM-S Gold Mount with Cable FGM-S B&H Photo Video

Anyway to live stream (real time) fs700 images to a computer via the supplied cables like the USB. or is the only option SDI or HDMI to a converter (I have not SDI or HDMI input in my iMac) My only color calibrated screens are the iMacs and I wanted to play around/learn more about picture...
