Thanks @morgan_moore! I'm keen to become part of team AS. Do you think RRS isn't great value when smallrig's version is around? https://reallyrightstuff.com/b2-llr-ii-arca-quick-release-lever-clamp-80mm/...

Hi Ryan, I was more lurking when you were active all those years ago. I printed your 'Why We Need Light' series (https://www.dvxuser.com/threads/rpos-why-we-need-light-article-series.222080/) to learn more about everything. At the time it was way over my head but still really exciting to think...

I'm looking into a small quick release system for the gimbal first and foremost, but probably also some to live on top of a rock n roller cart, tripod and possibly inside a pelican case. Re arca swiss vs. manfrotto 577 type plates: -...

Congrats! Can you go into any detail about what that means? What happens now? Are you happy with the outcome?

Thanks Doug! It sounds like Bridge is one of the most useful product in the adobe suite. FCP/PP/DR seem like they're all doing the same thing and it's just a preference. I'm sure pro editors could have an edit off and each program would have the edge with certain tasks but I'd be surprised if...

How do you use Bridge? As in, you personally.

Good one Doug!

Thanks Mark! I'm going to buy photo 2 and publisher 2, we'll see how it goes. But good idea re trial, I'll do that first. I'm sure I could just record a set of macros then apply all as a decent starting point. It'd be great if there was (maybe there is) an in-house rec709 LUT equivalent that...

Nice Filippo, Any comments on Sony A1 AF vs DJI focus pro?

Thanks for the affinity heads up. Like many others, I ditched adobe's subscription model and have lived fuflltime in resolve since version 12. I'm sure Doug's subscription costs have been negligible with all the $$ he's made. I'll prob get Affinity publisher as well as photo 2! Does anyone use...

Wow, I feel so stupid. No need to relegate and commit the entire rx just for this purpose, can just use the headphone out! I know it's not what the camera is hearing, but for audio monitoring while shooting (not downplaying it for dedicated sound professionals) this is the way to go. If I ever...

Wheels for the RS series of gimbals: I think you'd be nuts to jump on v1, it's sort of like any tilta/dji/smallrig stuff - it can get taken more seriously from v2/3(/4/5/6) onwards. YT comments saying the pan/tilt wheels are inverted, which would be a problem for operators used to larger...

That's a cool story! I didn't notice the wobble at all and can barely see it now but can understand the concern. Fair enough re ankle injury, ankles can take a really long time to heal, if at all, before even thinking about adding a large steadicam rig. Looks like you did well in the stabilicers.

Lol well those prices let the tech be part of the conversation, especially since shooting scenes with vehicles in LA would also have to have its own set of hurdles. That's a helpful perspective and nice extended reality check to be thinking in terms of better green screen rather than "we don't...

Re on location vs. in a studio, it depends for me. I didn't get into this to be bound to a studio. But I also didn't get into this for poor working conditions, so I guess it comes down to finding the right balance while avoiding headaches with either format. The XR stuff is still novelty but...

That's a great set up and rock solid removable handle! For my second c200 I also bought the bright tangerine top plate (at a huge discount being ancient tech) and already had their dovetail plate. You've probably already seen it but YT links with timestamps just in case: - - In theory you...

Yeah, there are so many moving pieces, it's a tough choice. The C400's movable LCD screen could be considered helpful or hurtful depending on what you're shooting, just like the C80's stationary screen will sometimes be a plus and sometimes a minus! I really enjoy shooting from the shoulder...

OK now we're getting somewhere, external frame backpacks look like they'll be very easy to add an umbrella to. https://www.carryology.com/bags/external-frame-backpacks-applying-the-old-ways-to-the-new-journeys-part-3/ Supposedly popular with hunters (I'm surprised the Montana man @El Director...

The atomos grab handle seemed too tall so I was experimenting with my own handle, then I quickly added a side handle. - low profile - possibly available depending on small parts lying around - 8x NATO rail options if ever needed, 15mm rod clamp if ever needed I'm deciding on the case to buy...

There's a time and a place and I'm sure indispensable to some in the narrative/medium plus camera rig spaces. But the minimax probably means you're using it with a small canon/sony/BM cam (like I was), getting cutaways of clocks in someone's living room. Basically, the human tripod mixed with...
