If you have, what do you think of the company and how they operate? And if you have, could I ask you a quick question offline, like through a message here on dvxuser or via Signal or something? Just trying to get some perspective. Thanks! Jim

As you may have seen on newsshooter.com: "Miller Tripods (officially called Miller Camera Support Equipment), a family business run by Mark and Diane Clementson, is said to be ceasing operations on 30 September 2026. Mark and Diane have decided to retire and shut down the business. From what I...

Not sure this is the right forum, but it's the closest I could find on the home page.... I just got a letter from The Hartford saying the premium for my professional/biz insurance policy (for property/equipment and usual types of liability) will "increase more than 25%" and will also have some...

I just skimmed this video, and for his audience, this is reasonably helpful info (I follow his YT channel). But mostly I dig this WTF title for us...

I moved this over from the NAB 2026 thread since it's now May. ;-) Just curious: Do you recall if the QC issues were flaws out of the box, or problems down the road? If bought from a place like Duclos, which says they bench test every lens they sell, would that resolve the potential QC...

I get hired for my craft, and I also hire others when I produce. And usually both of those involve a client above the producer. And I'm hip to using a payroll company when needed. Also, I'm not really a fan of Intuit. So that all said... I'm looking for an alternative to QuickBooks Desktop...

My Focusrite Scarlett Gen 1 is getting flaky. It's (directly) connected to my Mac Studio (and previously to a MacBook Pro). I mainly use it to drive NFMs. Sometimes to record scratch VO and hobby music. Since it's on a Mac, it doesn't/shouldn't need drivers (and hasn't so far...for like a decade...

I don't own any walkies. Easy enough to rent around here. But for two long(ish) projects I'll need 3-4 for a long time. And you know, with the UNSTOPPABLE MARCH OF TECHNOLOGY, I'm hoping there are some decent low-cost(ish) options. I'm looking for: Rain proof (ish) Drop proof (ish) 2 mile / 3...

I have a Magliner with shelves that's great, but also bulky and heavy. I'm looking for something more compact to travel with (ie- in vehicles, not on flights). And I checked the archives here, but it's been a while since anything like this has come up. So: Does anyone here have experience using...

Press release from fujirumors.com (I only briefly looked at Fujifilm's sites). ===== Press Release Fujifilm Unveils the Development of its First Filmmaking Camera “FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA” Achieving rich, true to life visuals with the large format sensor Paving the way for a new era of film...

I like a lot about the new dvxuser software. But the amount of spam is getting to be a drag. This morning especially. I typically just ignore that stuff, but the number of bot/spam posts appears to be growing. I've administered and moderated various web forums and email lists over the decades...

I searched the archives, but didn't see much, so let me ask: Does anyone have a favorite audio control surface for light/medium-duty audio post work? I'm thinking: Eight faders plus master, simple transport controls (don't want a zillion buttons), fairly compact, and Mackie Control. Not looking...

I need a couple new C-Stands and something like a Hollywood Baby Jr Double Riser: https://www.msegrip.com/products/hol...r-double-riser Two local grip shops (JCX and DTC) are both out of stock on much Matthews and American Grip stuff (and are waiting...waiting). What do you all think of Kupo...

It appears they're in stock now. https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/products/details/camcorders/professional/xf605 So has anyone here used one? If so, what did you like and not like about it?

Who here owns or has at least a few days of hands-on experience with the Miller Sprinter II carbon fiber tripods? (I'm specifically interested in experiences with Sprinter II, not "original" Sprinter sticks). I'm asking because I've been on a couple jobs with Sachtler flowtechs. Overall, they...

As I mentioned in Alex's "What’s in your sound package?" topic, I'm starting to look for new wireless systems. For tax reasons (and new-product release hopes), probably won't buy until early 2022. I pretty much have my head around what Lectrosonics, Zaxcom, and Audio Ltd. currently have. Less...

I may have missed it, but is there still a button that lets us mark all posts on dvxuser as read so when we return we'll only see new posts? Related: Does clicking on "NEW TOPICS" bring up all new posts or just some (ie- those in new topics)? If it brings up all new posts, can the wording be...

The Portkeys LH5P is their $399 US 5.5-inch on-camera monitor. HDMI only (but loop through), claimed 1700nits, funky Portkeys interface (I presume). Apparently the current versions have aluminum rather than a plastic case. https://www.portkeys.com/lh5p/ Anyone here own one, used one, or...

No need for a newer addition because nothing has changed. :-) (Not my work; found on internet and thought of all of you...OK, thought of all of us)

So I've done a dozen or so Facebook Live streams in the last few weeks. I had three crash and stop just on their own; the camera & audio feed were just rolling along, and then the stream/application just crashed. Unfortunately, there wasn't a clear action I or a colleague took before the...
