Can anyone comment on using the Fader ND with the 28-135 kit lens and a 7D? I'm about to buy one for my 7D, and that's the lens I use. Specifically, I'd like to confirm that vignetting is not a problem on the wider end of the lens. I've read about buying a step up ring and getting a 77mm...

Are there other manufacturers who make an offset kit similar to this one by redrock that would allow me to use 3 rails to offset my 7d shoulder mount? Seems a bit pricey and I don't really like the blue knob. My shoulder rig is from indifocus. http://store.redrockmicro.com/s.nl/it.A/id.765/.f

I've decided to add wireless lavs to my setup for the next short I'm doing, and I've decided to get 2 Countryman B6's. I had planned to buy black lavs until I realized they came in 5 colors. Now I'm unsure of which color to choose. The short hasn't been cast yet, so I don't know what color...

Hey everyone, Here's what I want to do: sync my macbook pro running boom recorder to my hv-20 so that I don't have to manually sync sound to a clapboard hit for every clip. I will admit that I don't understand timecode well. I've read and searched and still don't have a good feel for it...

Alright, so this isn't truly DIY, but it's in the DIY spirit. This is somewhat of a cross post since I already posted in the thread I'm about to mention, but I was afraid that people wouldn't see it over there (in the HVX forum). I bought this HD LCD TV a couple of days ago at circuit city...

i'm working in soundtrack pro on a project set to 48k. i have a small sound effects library from cd that is 44.1k. i'm thinking that STP must be resampling the media i import on the fly during playback since the sample rates don't match, so i'm wondering if it would be a good idea to go...

hi everyone- i'm planning on buying a macbook and using boomrecorder and a firewire sound card to record separate sound for short films. will it be beneficial to partition the hard disk and record all of the audio to a separate partition from the main system one? i've done partitioning with...

for those who know, how much do big productions boom these days? i've been paying attention to films i've been watching lately, and for a lot of the scenes it seems like it would be hard to get good audio with a boom, either because of movement, how wide the shot is, actors being in a car, etc...

Hi guys - i'm sorry if this is an often covered topic. i searched awhile and couldn't find anything on it. i know that 2 dvxs can somehow use their firewire ports to sync up to each other, for multi camera shoots. is there a way to sync the time-of-day on my computer to the time on my dvx...

i recently built some china balls from compact fluorescent bulbs that i bought at home depot and nylon chinese lanterns that i bought from paperlanternstore.com for a short done for drama fest. i built them based on info that i got from this forum and from some other sources, so i wanted to...

i'm working on editing and mixing sound for a short we just did for drama-fest (see our thread here) using digital performer on a mac. anyway i was wondering how pros generally deal with room tone. for example, when a sound or dialogue editor has production dialogue with gaps between, and has...
