A nifty device on eBay from orpheus_c, it uses the cage's handgrip as a large battery to power your Sony camera. Allowing for much longer run times than what you'd usually get from your FW-50 batteries alone. Curing one of the big complaints about this series of cameras, their poor battery...

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/848144-REG/Sony_PMW_F3L_RGB_PMW_F3L_Super_35mm_Full_HD.html Must've happened fairly recently, as I last checked out its B&H page not too long ago. Shouldn't be too surprised, it was obvious this day was soon coming, especially after they slashed its brand...

I'm seeing them going cheaper than ever before! Could pick one up in the US$150ish region, or even less. Does it make sense though to get a 50D for video in this day and age? (be it raw, or the ML H.264 option)

http://www.eoshd.com/2015/11/official-statement-samsung-withdraws-from-camera-market-in-germany/ Andrew Reid suggested Samsung should make a cinema camera, and thought that is such a great idea it deserves its own detailed response thus this blog post . (waves to Samsung reps! Hopes they're...

Was thinking I'd get a few Minolta SR mount lenses, when I realised I can't find an adapter for them to Sony FZ :-/ :-( And as their mount is too long, I can't just use a Canon EF to Sony FZ adapter with another adapter stacked on top (like I can do with many of my other lenses, as cheap/cheat...

Having just got a recorder, I've written an entire blog post about my decision process to buy a recorder/monitor as I've been debating which to get for a long while: http://ironfilm.co.nz/which-recorder-monitor-is-best-for-the-sony-pmw-f3/ Basically my logic process then went, if: a) you...

What 4x4 ND filters are recommended? (especially any more affordable ones!) Also interested in graduated ND 4x4 filters, and polariser 4x4 filters. I know the cheaper ND filters often have issues, but I'm hopeful there are some options out there which can give at least "acceptable" results...

"....built-in electronic variable ND filter that's capable of 7 stops (ND 2.1). There will also be a manual ND filter with options of clear, 1/4, 1/16, and 1/64." Does this mean the FS5 can have a max of 13 stops? (7+6) If so I reckon this can be a big bonus over the FS7 if you are shooting a...

Best news I've read all day! The BMD Video Assist is shipping now. Very keen to see a head to head comparison vs the Atomos Samurai Blade which is also US$495 (am using a Ninja 2 right now on a music video shoot with a Sony F3. It is nice, aside from the low resolution screen and no SDI)...

http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?e=2800344 As I want to get this. But it isn't on the list of approved drives: http://www.atomos.com/drives/ But Sandisk Ultra II SSDs are listed as recommended for Shogun / Ninja Assassin. I'm assuming they only have older SSDs listed for their older recorders...

As HDMI/SDI recorders are so cheap and plentiful these days, is it possible for the HVX200 to use one of them? I'm just idly wondering, as considering buying an HVX200

I used to think I'll obviously go for the BMD Video Assist for my Sony PMW-F3, but after this price drop it is trickier.... should I get a Atomos Samurai Blade instead for the same price? Samurai Blade Pros: Better features while shooting (such as waveforms) Tagging good/bad takes on set to...

Another big price drop on the Sony FS700 down to US$4K (comes with a free metabones adapter too!): http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1010153-REG/sony_nex_fs700r_4k_nxcam_super_35mm.html (was $6k when it dropped in September last year, and just last June it dropped to $5k) Hope that leads...

Quite often people express a wish for a "full frame" camcorder with the A7s sensor in it. But I don't necessarily need a VG900 with an A7s sensor in it. I'd be quite happy for an "FS1" to come along to replace the FS100, just like the FS7 "replaced" the FS700. Its specs could be: Same...

https://vimeo.com/135498367 Stumbled across this three way just now on twitter, new one from just a week ago.

Been shooting a music video today with my F3 and a hired Shogun, it has a very nice screen! And got it trigged from the F3. However.... I for the life of me simply can not work out how to record in the Atomos Shogun 1080p 60fps from the F3!! How??? :-( Help? :-/

The current price for a new F3 is only US$3,995 now, a huge reduction from its original price: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/848144-REG/Sony_PMW_F3L_RGB_PMW_F3L_Super_35mm_Full_HD.html I can tell it dropped from US$4,995 sometime in the last 48hrs based on Google's cache...

Is there more than one standard for these dovetails??? :-/ I had guessed there was only the Arri standard dovetail. As I ordered this (which is Arri standard): http://www.proaimshop.com/pas/CAMTREE-19-15mm-Base-Plate-With-Dovetail-Tripod-Plate-ARRi-Standard.html I've attached an image of my...

"4K video is a huge part of the FZ300 experience. You can record 4K/UHD (3840 x 2160) video at 30p or 24p with full-time AF, manual controls, zebra stripes, 'cinelike' gamma, and much more - all at a bit rate of 100Mbps. If that's a bit too much, 1080/60p and lower resolution modes are also...

When I try to search for "SxS reader" they appear to be absolutely ridiculously expensive, to the point I might as well pick up a used old laptop for a hundred bucks or two hundred, and simply use it and its ExpressCard slot instead to read the SxS cards onto a portable harddrive for editing...
