I'm looking for options to shoot some Area 48 LEDs through diffusion for a small studio setup to soften and broaden their output. I'm looking at the Matthews site here (http://www.msegrip.com/blog-content/?p=389) where it specifies the different types of diffusion. I'd prefer not to loose more...

Kind of curious what people's thoughts are on batteries (assuming you're not using V-mount, as I most likely wouldn't want the bulk). For my two C100's I have three Canon batteries (about 5 hours each) and four off-brand batteries (about 4 hours each), which gives me 31 hours (or 15.5 each...

This is a video I did to promote a national Catholic homeschooling organization, Seton Home Study. Shot on the C100 with a GH2 as a b-cam for interviews. C100 was all Wide-DR. Comments and constructive criticism welcome. Behind the scenes photos can be seen at: Christendom College -...

Here's a wedding I just finished, filmed with C100, a GH2, and a couple 60Ds. C100 footage is all Wide DR with +3 in-camera noise reduction. Comments and constructive criticism welcome. Equipment Used: Canon C100, Panasonic GH2, 2x Canon 60Ds Sigma 18-35 f/1.8, Canon 35 f/1.4L, Canon 24-105...

Here is a wedding I just finished which was filmed with a couple C100s, a GH2, and 5D Mark III. GH2 was the back center camera for the ceremony, and 5D III was guest reaction shots. I rented the second C100, so this was my first wedding using multiple C100s, which was nice not having to mix...

I just got a Schoeps CMC641 and a Sanken CS-3e. From what I've read, shotguns are generally better outdoors, but some use small diaphram condensors outdoors instead of a shotgun. Most seem to agree that the Schoeps has better sound quality when in the right conditions than the Sanken or other...

This is a promotional video I did for a Catholic homeschooling curriculum, Seton Home Study, showing one family's experience with it. It was shot in Wide DR, except a couple outdoor shots I tried C-log on. I think I'm going to start using Wide PF (a profile someone on here came up with) on...

I'm looking for a light or lights to quickly increase ambient lighting in small, medium, and large rooms. Right now I use a Lowel Tota, which generally works well for my purposes, except that it's difficult or impossible to change the color temperature to 5600k when I need it. I have the gel...

I can't seem to find much information in regards to a comparison between the two. The MVH500AH is the new updated version of the 701 head, but how much better is it, and is it worth it to buy over getting a used 701 head cheaper? I use my 701 head on a monopod, tripod, slider, and jib, so it...

http://www.petrolbags.com/product/0/PA1018/_/Deca_Mini_Hood Does anyone know where I can buy this? It's available directly from the Petrol website, but it looks like shipping is $25 which is rather expensive for a $26 item. I can't seem to find the PA1018 on B&H.

What do you have your LCD and Viewfinder settings set to and why? I've been overexposing shots which looked good on the LCD, so I feel like I'm doing something wrong with the LCD settings. I've tried setting the LCD Backlight setting to "Bright" when outdoors and I think that has helped some...

This is a video I did to promote altar serving in the Catholic church. I filmed it by myself (I had an altar server help with conducting the interviews and some with lighting) at 4 different Masses (services), and did the interviews on two days after the Masses. I listed the equipment used...

Thought I'd share this video I did of my church with the C100. The goal was to approach the church, which is a rather plain looking modern church, and try to get what shots I could to make it look interesting. I used Wide DR mostly at ISOs around 320-850 (with Noise Reduction set to 3), aside...

When would you use ISOs below 850? It's my understanding that below 850 you don't lose dynamic range, it merely shifts from being more balanced between the highlights and shadows (at ISO 850 and onward), to favoring the shadows more at ISOs below 850. Thus, if one was filming a night/dark...

The C100 is rated at 12 stops of dynamic range (I've also heard the number 13 mentioned); is this only in Canon Log mode? What is the dynamic range in other profiles?

Do you hot swap lenses on the C100? The manual states not to hot swap lenses, so if a hot swap caused a problem, would the warranty cover it, and if not, any ideas of the cost of repair?

I find that with dual slot or relay record on, from the time you turn the on knob until the camera is ready to record, it takes about 12 seconds. With dual slot and relay record turned off, it takes about 9 seconds until the camera is ready to record. I really like dual slot record, but since...

As lenses are sharper when stopped down from wide open, but the camera loses sharpness as the ISO increases, I'm wondering where the trade-offs are as far as creating the sharpest (or best) image. For example, which would be sharper, a 35mm f/1.4 at f/1.4 at ISO 850, or the 35mm at f/2.8 at ISO...

Would you recommend manual or automatic gain for audio when doing run n' gun work? This question is both if you are using the top handle with a shotgun attached, making manual audio adjustments easier, as well as using just a mic (such as the Rode Video Mic Pro) plugged into the mini-jack for...

What noise reduction settings are you using? It would seem to me that for in-camera noise reduction, that the 1 to 12 scale would have corresponding ISOs that result in the best picture (with some leeway for subjective views on visible noise vs sharpness). For example, perhaps at ISO 20,000...
