Thanks for the replies. I ended up going with the Tenba Roadie ii from BandH for $650 AUD. Expensive piece of kit but will definitely be worth the investment in keeping my gear in tact. I have included a few photos from my initial setup. In the main compartments I have the C100 built with the...

Hi, I'm wondering whether I should continue to use the Ninja 2 for a prores output when shooting run n gun type documentary. At first I thought I noticed a big difference in image quality but unless it's graded I don't see the big point really? On the renovation tv show I worked on last week the...

What method do you find works best in finding focus on the C100? I find that using the magnify/peaking combination in camera works most of the time, but every now and then you get a shot in which the subject is out of focus. The only other thing I can think of is using the "Focus Peaking"...

Through the film school I'm studying at I've got the chance to work on a local television show, that is also shown nationally in Australia. The show is one of those renovation reality shows in which a disadvantaged family is taken and pampered for a week whilst their house is renovated. Although...

This is the basis for my interview setup that I'm heading to next week. This is my first real set up and I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions to what I could add/remove/change. Thanks Current setup includes: Manfrotto 504HD Head with carbon fibre legs Ninja 2 with Ultra Plus Sandisk...

Hey guys, Atomos has listed a bunch of different harddrives that are available to use with their recorders, I was wondering what most people used and if there were some that tended to be faster/more reliable than others. Was just looking at purchasing the SanDisk Ultra Plus solid state 240gb...

Hey guys, Have recently bought the Manfrotto 504HD Carbon Fibre system and was looking to rig a SmallHD AC7 monitor onto the side of the tripod. What would be the best accessory to do this with this tripod? Using a Canon C100 with a Atomos Ninja 2 fixed to the top. Cheers, Toby

Hey guys, I own a C100 and have only the 24-105mm f/4 by Canon. Heard the new Sigma 24-35mm lens has an EF mount and with an aperture of f/2 I'm wondering if this is as good as it sounds. People are saying it's like having three prime lenses in one. This is a full frame lens. Would like to...
