    Research for new opportunities.

    So I have been doing production work for a number of years. I have had some great opportunities to work on some really amazing productions in the past. However, since I settled in Dallas, much of what I have been getting is mid level corporate work. I am ready to step up my game and have been on...

    Where's my audio? A7s/Odyssey 7Q+

    So I just shot a whole night with my A7s going into my Odyssey 7Q+. Audio was definitely going into the Odyssey... the levels were moving... I could hear it... however there are no audio tracks at all in my clips when I look at them on the computer. Literally nothing.... not a silent track...

    A7S Metabones Smart Adapter MK IV Autofocus issues

    So I mainly use my A7S for video, however I do like to do a bit of photography. I was just playing around with taking some photos using my A7s, Metabones EF to E Mount Smart Adapter MK IV with a Canon 24-70L MK I lens. The autofocus is abysmal in this set up. It is astonishing how difficult of...

    Ever any specials on the upgrades?

    So I was interested in getting the Apollo upgrade for my Odyssey 7Q+ until I saw the price. I am not one to make a fuss about prices generally. I have learned you get what you pay for and I will always prefer the pricier quality product that won't burn me in the field. However, $1,795 for the...

    Matching A7S and FS700

    So I have seen people mention that it is tricky to match A7S and FS700 footage. I have not yet had time to experiment with this on my cameras, perhaps this weekend, but I wanted to see what settings, luts, etc.. others have used to help facilitate this. I have been doing some google searching...

    Getting A7s .... a couple of questions

    So I am buying a used A7s MKI as a specialty lowlight cam and b cam to my FS700. Out of curiosity, if I am using an Odyssey 7Q+ with my A7s, is there a big advantage of using an A7sII over the A7s/7Q+ combo? Also, anything I should know about using the A7S with the Odyssey? Any quirks...

    Better battery solution for Odyssey 7Q+

    So I have had some unfortunate growing pains with my FS700 and Odyssey 7Q+. Although I did a good deal of testing before taking my set up on a paid shoot, there was one issue I never encountered during my test. The problems that occur when there is low voltage. I have this habit when I'm doing...

    Unrecoverable ssd. Error -11

    Well, it happened. I have an ssd that the oddyssey can't recover. This is my first day to go out and shoot a lot. So the fact I have already had this problem is a bit disconcerting. The ssd was an official convergent design drive. I will say that I was shooting a lot of 4k to prores hq at 120...

    Timelapse 4K RAW with Odyssey?

    I don't suppose there is a way to have the odyssey record something like 1 fps in 4K RAW for timelapse purposes?

    Stabilizer recommendations?

    I've seen people fly an FS700 on a Ronin but it looks like it's a bit of a trick to pull off. I would love to get a gimbal for my camera and have started doing some research. Thought I might ask what everyone else is using and what their experience has been. Obviously looking for the best bang...

    Base ISO 2000?

    I have read a few places that the base ISO is 2000? Including this very enthusiastic article calling it a "lowlight Monster". http://www.redsharknews.com/production/item/894-fs-700-becomes-low-light-monster However, there are things in this article that don't seem to match up with my camera. I...

    New Owner, a few questions.

    Just got a Sony FS700R and really liking it so far. I already had an Atomos Shogun, so I have been using that to record ProRes HQ from the RAW output the camera puts out. Really great results. So I have read that the odyssey 7q is the best value for the money when it comes to recorders. I can...

    Any Luck Mixing 7D with XH-A1S?

    I have both a 7D and XH-A1S and I have found it somewhat difficult to get the colors to match up coming out of the camera. What I am hoping to accomplish is to find good flat settings for each camera that get the colors as close as possible coming out of the camera. The better the two videos...
