If you were shopping for a camera that was not destined for making one's living, which of the following would you consider: Sony FS5m1 hopefully with the raw upgrade already installed. Z Cam E2-M4. Yes I know the Z Cam needs expensive drives, but all the good resolutions need a USB C SSD...

Doesn't look like I can delete this and the youtube guy is being kind of a jerk, guessing he needs to push the brand he is pushing because he go the work done for free. If a mod/admin sees this, please delete.

Just a word of warning... One of my faculty has a 2017 Mac Book Pro with an i5 processor. We were going to install MC 2019.7 on this so that he could do some prep. work and grading at home. Come to find out that the installer won't even run because his machine is not certified for this version...

Going to throw this out there and see what happens. Looking for a Canon new FD 35f2 lens, MUST NOT have slop in the focus ring! I have two of these tat have slop between the focus ring and the posts that drive the helical gears. I see a few on Ebay, but this always a gamble, especially from...

Does anyone know of a way to make the pick and pull foam in many different cases stay together? I finally went out to Harbor Freight and bought some cases for my lenses. Plucked out spaces for everything I currently own, and just know that the more I pull them out and put them back, the more the...

So I've been thinking about getting a used BM Micro Cinema Camera to have something small that shoots "better" images than my GH2's, by better most of that would be 1080/60p. Another thread brought up a Z-Cam model that I wasn't familiar with, so I started looking. What I found was the E2C...

Getting ready to build a V mount to regulated power adapter and not sure about connectors. Aside from a 4 pin XLR, is there a standard locking DC power connector in use? These will be 7.2v to about 9v use, and also a 5v for USB power (but not a USB type A connector, still want locking here)...

Just got something from nVidia in my email about their new RTX Quadro chips in laptops: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/design-visualization/quadro-in-laptops/ I didn't click on any of the manufacturers, but I'm guessing most of the machines will be in the $2000+ (usd) price range because you...

So I'm thinking out loud here. There is a company that was selling custom converted Bolex cameras on Etsy called the Digilex. They were buying sensors and building some kind of control board for them. I looked at the images and wasn't thrilled with the resolution provided. But I'm still...

Did anyone see this? https://www.atomos.com/shogun7 The multiple 1080 inputs with live async. switching is really very interesting, but not sure I have a need beyond curiosity. I can of course invent use cases for work, but no money to toy with things right now. Also wondering if it will...

Title pretty much says it all, if you have a broken original BMD Cinema camera kicking around and willing to part with it on the cheap, please let me know. Don't really care what has happened to it.

As I'm getting back into live TV remotes, it's clear that I need to bring my own monitor to test feeds on cables. That's pretty easy. But I'd also like to have a monitor that I can calibrate so that I know it is accurate because you never know how good the monitors in the truck are going to be...

Torn between putting this in NLE or general software as it certainly covers a wider gamut than just editing. Also maybe sticky worthy and maybe we should have a Resolve section created (maybe?). Some of you may have seen this in other threads or other forums, but it looks like BlackMagic is...

This is my on going review of the book "The Definitive Guide to Davinici Resolve 15. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/training This is part of the official BlackMagic training for this software. This will be a multipart review as I work through the sections so watch for...

Anyone have any experience with the Movo V Mount multi-voltage battery mount? https://www.amazon.com/Movo-RBS1-Camcorders-Monitors-Microphones/dp/B06WWG1TDL/ I was going to make my own because I have some extra plates and can buy switching regulators from Pololu pretty cheap, but then I need to...

I just got an email about how the new tariffs are going to make certain Avid products more expensive, this included Nexus storage which they are predicting an 8 to 20% increase (depending on the number of hard drives installed). I assume this is going to filter all the way down to the "cheap" SD...

We recently received many Desisti Monet model 210 fresnels from a TV station, they bought a new set and went LED with pretty much everything. So now I have about 12 of these fixtures sitting on the floor with the standard G22 bi-pin base. The station was having a lot of problems with the bases...

Any tips for shooting shots of welding? Think tighter shots of the metal and the arc. So far what I have is an adjustable auto darkening assembly from a welding helmet taped inside a mattebox. After white balance through the #4 filter it looks ok for the pre-arc video. Once the arc starts is the...

We are in a crunch to spend some money before it is frozen, and for many years we've been discussing that we need to go to LED lighting. We currently have 12 kits with Tota and Omni lights, they are big, heavy, and cut into class time to cool down so they can be packed away. We were looking at...

I'm looking for a transcoder that can basically watch a folder and anything that is dropped into that folder will get transcoded into XDCam HD op1a at 50mbps to send to our Avid Airspeed. Need to kind of set it up as a server and FTP or make a file share or something to get stuff into it and out...
