Hi again all, I’m running a vlock adapter plate into the ‘bat’ port of my Arri Alexa Classic but when I attach a vlock battery, I get an error message on the bottom of the screen and the battery voltage (which is listed as 14.4 V on the battery body itself) fluctuates around 12.9 V. The...

Hi all, I’ve noticed a lot of Varicam 35 and a few LT kits on ebay and the like lately, going relatively cheap. Especially the pl mount Varicam 35, with kits in good condition selling for less than 10k and some even for less than 5k. The LT kits are priced higher than the 35 for some reason...

Hi all, For the fun of it, I’m running video and audio out via RCA from a Canon XL1 (not XL1s or XL2) to an immersion RC Powerplay recorder. I would like to record a clean signal from the cam but I can’t get rid of the date and other info displayed onscreen as pictured below. I’ve been...

Hi all, Anyone know if you can successfully record 720p via the sdi out of the old (very old) JVC GY HD 250 camcorder (actually 251 PAL model) into the basic HD Blackmagic Video Assist 3G 5”? Just using a sdi to mini sdi cable, right? I own the blackmagic and it’s a terrific device for all sorts...

Hi all, I just picked up the Gh5 Mark 2. The livestream function direct from camera to Youtube was a big draw for me but I’m failing miserably to set it up. I’m sure it’s just me missing something obvious, as this Lumix Academy vid seems to explain the steps in a very straightforward way...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has tested the metabones speedbooster for the gh4 on an Af100? I ask because the website says it hasn't been tested yet and it would be handy to know if I ever decide on picking up a gh4 to go along with my af100. See...

Hi all, I'm looking to buy extra tracks for my universal indie dolly system. I need lengths of straight or curved tracks, preferably in their softcases. Used condition is fine but they need to still function 100%. Got the dolly platform and 12 foot of track already so am now just looking for...

Hi all, Aside from the 24.2 vs 36.2 megapixel difference between the models, does the D610 match up to the D800 in terms of its functionality for video work and in terms of the quality of video it can produce? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but both cameras seem to offer: - Full frame (with...

Hi all, I'm heading along to the "first for Ireland" (not quite NAB) video broadcast show in Dublin on Wednesday and am planning to attend some of the presentations. I'm happy to put any questions to the reps there so let me know if there's anything you'd like me to ask. Presentations will be...

Just heard Richard Griffiths passed away today. Age 65. Complications following heart surgery. RIP Uncle Monty:

I was lucky enough to catch John Hurt performing in 'Krapps Last Tape' on the stage of the Gate Theatre Dublin at the weekend. Really cool to see this living legend in person in one of his most famous stage roles. The experience got me thinking of stand-out John Hurt screen performances. A...

Hi all, I apologise in advance if this question has been answered elsewhere. I've searched and searched and still can't find a satisfactory, step-by-step answer to my question. Hope you can help. I'm using an Af100 (Af101) in PAL land with a 7" SWIT S-1071F external monitor. The camera...
