I havent seen any rates for news stringers I'm thinking i will get my new a1 and change my rates per story what do you all think would be a good rate for news footage per station per story.

Anyone have anything to say about this fish eye lens? Since it's $80 I'm sure it's not great, but does it have any worth whatsoever? If not, could you explain to me the problems with it? I would just need it for a few messed up looking shots so as long as it gives the fish eye look that may...

I have a DVX100a and have been looking into a stabilizer for a few weeks now. My budget is $1000. As of right this second, I am leaning towards the Merlin, which I've read almost nothing but great things about. Also in the game is the Indicam and Glidecam. Now I've read and re-read several...

Disregard! Thanks!

Your project is a low budget horror movie. You long term goal is festival and Dvd release, with an outside chance of film out. You have your locations, your actors and your crew. You have no lighting, steadicam/dolly or audio gear. You have all of the software you need, including Vegas 6 and...

Two questions-1)Is a field mixer a necessity when shooting a feature? I plan on using a boom and a lav. I wouldn't mind having a shotgun handy too. If you agree a mixer is the way to go, any good packages you can recommend? (keep in mind budget is a big concern) 2)Or is it just as reasonable...

I finally have enough money in the bank to buy what I have been saving for-the DVX100A. But now I am torn between the 100a and B. I plan on shooting my first feature with this camera. Can you guys tell me if I should break the bank and go with the new model, and what significant additions set...

Hi all. Love the forums. I have my first feature film coming up in January/February. I am taking a gander at the DVX100a. All I've read has basically convinced me of it's capabilities. My only worry is shooting widescreen. I really want to avoid full frame at all costs, but I read you lose...
