Hi, Just picked up a FS5 and going to use it at some live events. Are there any focus zones or is it center point only? Additionally i saw that there is suppose to be boxes when it's going face focus but that's not showing for me. Any ideas?

Hey DVXusers. Working with the GH5s and noticed in the 120fps shots there was some excessive horizontal noise? could be wrong on what it actually is though. Any thoughts on what this was? Settings I believe was the following. NTSC Mov 8bit FHD 24p 250 Shutter 800 / 1600 ISO? 120FPS This was...

Hey guys, Looking to get a top handle going on since my F35 didn't come with a top handle. Does anyone have any experience with what fits the holes of the IF Plate / Dry Dock? All the cheese plates I have dont have holes that line up (most I can get is the front two holes and everything else...

Selling my Cinevate Atlas 30 slider. It is the 58" rail variant. The slide mechanism works smooth as butter and has netted me very good shots. Very well built. I can drop it from the second story and it will still be intact and perfect. Can support up to 30lbs. Comes with all terrain legs...

Hey Dvxusers, Currently helping out a friend build two GH3 camera sets for his church group. They have many groups that would use these cameras so two GH3 seems like the reasonable build out with this. I had the Rokinon 3 lens set (24mm,35mm, 85mm) in mind since it provides an awesome...

Not sure if anyone is watching CES Press Conferences, but Panasonic just teased their 4k Varicam. Said to be released late this year and is making it's appearance at NAB.

Hey Guys, I'm filming an argument scene outside soon and wanted to know what the best setup would be (Mic wise) for the argument. The scene calls for the two main characters to argue over each other but not necessarily show both of them at the same time. They do however talk back and answer...

Hi, I am working on my audio tracks and noticed that I am hearing weird high tone buzzing sounds every once in a while. I have no clue what the problem. I've tried changing the channel on both the Lavs and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is happening? I am...

A friend just showed me this nifty device. Seems like a solid steadicam replacement that could be used on hexacopters for aerial shots too. Looks good. Thoughts? http://blog.vincentlaforet.com/2013/04/04/movi-a-revolutionary-handheld-stabilized-system-takes-flight/

I have been working on a project and for some reason the latest export I did exported with the zebra. (This is assuming that zebra means the highlight of overexposed areas) Does anyone know a fix for this? I some how got it to display in my timeline. (Blue,red,yellow,etc highlights in...

I am selling my Cinevate Atlas 30 slider. It is the 58" rail variant. The slide mechanism works smooth as butter and has netted me very good shots. Very well built. I can drop it from the second story and it will still be intact and perfect. Can support the weight of RED also. Here is a...

I am shooting a new short film coming up and we are running a DR-100mkii and a Schoeps CMC641 However, while doing some tests, we are noticing that it is recording very soft. We are using the Medium Gain Setting around the Mic Level 8 - 10. We are trying to keep noise to a minimum. Mic is...

Hi fellow DVXUSERS, How well does the mk4 capsule perform for indoor dialogue? Simple two people dialogues. Is there a major difference from the mk41 capsule besides he mk41 being a bit more directional? If so, how wide the the mk4 capsule Thank you!

This might seem like a no brainier, but I am hosting my first casting soon and wanted to know if people out there send the script to the actors before hand. I figured you should send it to them or else they wouldn't know what they are signing up for. (they just have a jist of the story right...

I am shooting a short film soon with a lot of interior shots. My friend has a CMC641 he is willing to lend me. The problem is all I have is a DR-100mkii to record the audio on. Would a Schoeps CMC641 + Tascam DR-100mkii combo work? Or would I have to go through something like a Sound Devices...

Recently when I export my projects on Adobe Premiere CS6, it has been taking up 100% of my CPU. This is problematic for me because sometimes I continue viewing other clips or browse the web while it exports. When it is utilizing my CPU at 100% I can not do these things without it lagging and...

I recently got a DR-100mkII and have been playing with it but have ran into some problems. It seems as if the output for the headphones is very very soft. I have it turned up to ten and still have a hard time listening. Gain is set to HIGH with a level around 5 - 6. There seems to be a...

I am working on a current project where I'm using keyframes for a video clip as it glides from the right side of the screen to the left side. However a problem has occurred. I have a keyframe set at x position 1100 @ 1:20 and x position -1100 @ 1:50. When the motion occurs, between 1:20 &...

Hi, I have gotten some request to do some event coverage. (Performance / awards ceremony) I have two XF300 that I cover these events with, but never done it with live mixing. I wanted to know if there was a way to live mix. I was thinking about something to hook to a computer so I can...

Reading through the forums lately have got me wondering why the old canon fd and nikon lens so popular? Is it because they are both cheap, beautiful and abundant? How about old FF Pentax lens? Why doesn't there seem to be love for them considering they are also old and good lens? Then how...
