Every Feature the C400 has
Dual CFast Express with an SD card that can record proxies and/or primary
4:3 sensor for full frame open gate anamorphic
Secondary power/video feed port for viewfinder in addition to monitor port
Viewfinder
4" LCD screen (the C400 screen is crap in terms of size), 5"...
On the C70 when outputting to HDMI, if you change the display so that the boarders are on the image (where the display info surrounds the image), then the HDMI output reduces the size of the image and leaves the black boarders around the outputted image, but without the display info. I'm...
What's on your wishlist?
Here is mine.
8.6K like Burano with all the intermediary frame rates (6K, 4K, 1080p) that use subsampling (unlike some of the Red's that require a sensor crop for lower resolution)
Full frame, S35, and S16 with different crop modes available at the touch of a button...
What are the highest capacity Gold mount batteries?
On the B&H search it tops out at 300w and one 367w option from Core SWX. I seem to recall seeing other higher powered Gold mount options but since I couldn't find them on B&H I was wondering if anyone could point me to them. SWIT has a 420w...
I'm using Sony FX30s to output 4K to a live switcher and need a good picture profile with high dynamic range. Coming from Canon C-series which have Wide DR picture profile, the FX30s PP11 I've been using is high contrast with lower dynamic range, so is not matching well with my C300s and Arris...
Does anyone know if the Canon R10, R8, R7 can do HDMI out, internal record, and LCD on at the same time? The manual seems to indicate you cannot, but I found a post on EOSHD where a user indicated they could do it all at once...
I've got a Sony FS7 and was trying to enable dual record to record to two XQD cards at once but it's grayed out in the menu and has a message saying it can't do it. Why is that and what do I have to do to enable it?
So a few years ago someone here (maybe Charles Papert) mentioned some sort of t-bone silk holder pole thing where the silk wraps around the pole for storage and then unwraps to give say a 6 x 6 or whatever in a sort of t-bone format where you just plop it on a light stand. Anyone know what I'm...
The C300 Mark III and C70 have 5x and 10x magnification. The C300 Mark II has 2x magnification.
I find the 2x magnification works well as the image looks sharp when in focus. The 5x and 10x magnification do not work well as the image is mush and not sharp, so when focusing it a difference...
So I just had these two lights arrive and my initial impressions...
To my eye, since I haven't put it into camera yet or put any light meters to it...Nanlight feels about 40% brighter. Colors look whiter in a good way, while CLAR has a bit of green to the light.
Downside of the Nanlight, the...
What is a good teleprompter to buy?
My budget is in the $2k-$5k range, with a preference for being closer to $2k. If spending much more than $2k I'd like to know what improvements I'm getting.
I've been recommended these two...
Do you keep or throw away the manual when you buy an item, such as say a camera?
Most manuals are available online, so a hard copy of many manuals for many types of equipment could just result in more clutter in the house. But maybe some like having a hard copy available.
Sometimes manuals...
What's a good camera mic for the C70 and C300 Mark III?
Apparently they now have mic power output on the 3.5mm input, so that opens up mic power powered mics that couldn't have been used with the C300 Mark II.
Using mic power is great because then you never have to worry about changing...
Does anyone know if COVID tests can be purchased by the general public and if so where and what ones to buy?
Clients keep asking for COVID tests and rather than having to keep driving to different locations and sometimes needing to schedule tests, being able to use an already bought pack of...
What recommendations for a production monitor? Say around a $4,000 budget range.
Flanders, SmallHD, Atomos, and Sony seem to be the main players.
Flanders has the name recognition and the best colors, SmallHD has the high brightness, Atomos has a recorder and lower price point, and Sony has a...
Music video I DPed for the Christian band MercyMe. Shot with two Arri Amiras and Arri Ultra Primes. There are a few shots at the guy's house which someone else filmed with I believe a C100.
I've listened to their music before so I was excited to work with a band I liked. Video has close to a...
