Thanks for all your ideas! I'm really hesitant to go with "Home Depot" LED solutions because of pulsing from cheap LED fixtures. Quasar T8 tubes aren't available where I live, so just like the high CRI LED strips from china, I would have to import - also sth I'm not to fond of. I guess I'll just...

Bouncing one of our Rayzr7s off the ceiling is the way we brighten the space right now, because well, there are no overhead lights so far as said. As said, using expensive film lights for this isn't a longterm option, but of course having an array of Quasar tubes up there would be great :)

EDIT: I have put this here because there is no dedicated lighting section and the light should be able to be used in a shoot. I have yet to install a "work light" for our studio. The standard probably is bare fluorescent tubes at the ceiling but I was thinking of creating an artificial...

Help me make me opsolete: Is there a solution for "high-end" Skype interviews? I'm looking for a solution to give the best possible Skype interviews (from a technical point of view). It would be an emergency solution, when an interview needs to be given and now one could do a proper camera...

Who out there is working with several connected workstations? I'm thinking of a small production house, with three video, two graphics and one grading workstation. Throw in some laptops who just do reviews and such. So not that big, but also not that one-man-army-ish anymore. We used to do fine...

If the RX line is the max size you're going for, consider the LX100 from Pana. Still waiting for an update to this model, meanwhile it can be had dirt cheap, just watch out it is prone for sensor dust...

There seems to be a 50/50 love/hate bias towards the Aputure. It is in a strange spot for sure: Specs and price sometimes correlate, sometimes not. Without further going into the pros and cons of the current version: Are there true alternatives to the light? Of course PRICE being the main...

What do you guys use to discuss a timeline via the web? I use appear.in and zoom.us for video meeting and sometimes share a powerpoint, but I'm not sure this is the way to go for sharing a PP timeline. Is there a dedicated app/sowftware to do this, maybe even with Premiere integration? Thanks!

For the C100 and C300 I only use a cheap external 7" when doing talking heads. I tried to hook up this 7" (and two computer screens for sake of comparison) to the C200, but to no prevail. I got a picture on one 27" LCD but only when the C200 is set to 50p. The HDMI is set to HD. Until know I...

For OnManArmy gigs: I don't want to work both a camera and a mixer/recorder. But I also want to not go straight to the camera's pre-amps. So I was thinking of an external preamp like the Triton to get a better signal into the camera and leave the camera's preamps turned down AFAP. I would still...

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Since another thread became clustered with debates about the camera (and its shortcomings) itself, I'm trying to start this as a VIDEO and SPECS only thread. I suggest posting completed commercial projects only, just to keep the info value high and keep it better...

Not that fancy, but an old T2i with a LCD loupe and a pistol grip works great as director's viewfinder if you're shooting with Canon Cinema EOS camera and EOS mount lenses. The advantage is being able to record footage on pre-lighting days, when your A-cam might be not available. A few years...

I rarely fly and if so, I take everything that would allow me to have a minimalistic shoot in the cabin with me. I always wanted a nice Pelicase with built in trolly (this: http://www.peli.com/eu/en/product/watertight-protector-hard-cases/medium-case/air-case/1535/), but have this prejudice: If...

I missed the time slot for upgrading the G2s. The obvious choice would be the G3s (have two MKE2 I plan to keep on using). But I somehow hoped, there would be sth newer/smaller/digital in this price segment. So far I found: The Sennheiser AVX, the Rode Link and the Sony UWP. I guess/hope many...
