For my Blackmagic Cinema camera I purchased a Hot Mirror as advised. I also have a set of ND's and a Tru-Pol filter. Does the Hot Mirror hit light first and then any filter afterwards towards the sensor? Again, I own a Hot Mirror, ND's, and a Polarizer . thanks

hmm. let's see...a $300 credit of 12-bit RAW (and my Hot Mirror with my new 256gb Extreme Pro U3) in exchange for 8-bit splendor... that's a hard one :2vrolijk_08:

The following is the NTSC model. I imagine that the PAL XAVC-S versions at 25p contain even more data per frame. I have had the chance to test both the Panasonic AG-AC8 and JVC's GY-HM70. They are the bare entry level prosumer ENG style cameras and both record AVCHD 28Mbps. I know both of...

thank you sir. This is what the UK Sony site states with the picture attached below. Btw, do you think Class 10 SDXC at a write speed of 10mbs (usual average) is ok for XAVC-S? Or should I not risk it and go with UHS-I (U3) ? I see, so at 3mbs at MP4 (from sony site) I should get about 1.4gb...

I am going to buy 3 new Sony HDR-CX405 cams. They'll mainly be used for rough sketch productions as I have team for reality show creation. We need a full day of shooting so I assume 128gb cards can cover 10 hours? It is my understanding that I can only record one stream of XAVC-S to a card...

My mate and I are thinking to go with the Inspire 1, but we are also hesitant. I'm really interested in its speed and non drift performance. Of course in manual mode with the Phantom 2 you can get good results, but another 3K investment is a hard one to decide... I have heard that the stock...

I would like to render out a Master edit / ungraded version of my short. It's about 10min in length and hard disk space is of no issue as I have several glyph drives. I was told that AVI uncompressed out is the absolute best render out option? Is this true? I'm tempted to DPX my footage, or...

oh yea baby!

Over the last two years I've noticed improvement for Wi-Fi wireless control. Depending on the smoothness and accuracy that's to be explained. I'm fully aware and experienced for traditional follow focus pulling and wireless focus pulling via external rigs. However with Wifi protocols becoming...

The GH4's 8-bit 4:2:0 overcrank capture is not the best...compression is just not good. Is overcrank capture possible with the DMW-YAGH? thanks

Money's no prob! What are some of the best choices on the market? Thanks

I want to create some 360 rotating shots with the camera stable in the middle. What industry devices are there?

For example I'm trying to turn the camera 360 so that the image has a perfect rotation. The calibration of course is so that the lens rotates 360 in the exact same spot. Any links?!

Maybe someone can break down my worry and my theory. I have been working with 50P for about 4 years. My first good run with 50p was using it with a Nanoflash for the AG-AF100. I cannot recall the codec settings, but I know it was an 8-bit 422 workflow and maybe around 180mbs - 220mbs. I'm...

I'm trying to decide which model to get. It is currently very easy to acquire the Panasonic HC-V750 at B&H USA, but it's NTSC. I'm ONLY looking to purchasing this camera for slow motion shots. If B&H had the PAL version I would get the 100fps version. I know that 100fps to 50i or 25p final...

Thanks!

Hello. I'm coming more from a cinema background with more precise control. However, for real world and a three cam crew I'm looking for any tips or resources for diagrams. THanks

Anybody share any links or info on the production side of these shows in case I want to do a pilot? I would like to know the most consistent and industry protocol that make these shows work fast with turnaround. I live in a third world country, so the American protocol will of course be of a...

I just finished shooting some tests with the JVC GY-HM70E. I added a Sigma Circular Polarizer and to my surprise with various good manual white balances I achieved some shots I could not get with the AG-AC8. At full 16x Dynamic zoom the JVC also achieves better color depth - for instance the...
