Struggling to figure it out ... lol

Hi, I was shooting this weekend, and we were trying to step into some higher frame rates and kept getting a message from the camera CAN NOT REC. After having to ditch the shot (wanted to shoot at 12fps). I discovered that the camera was struggling to record because the Proxy Recording settings...

Hi, I've been with my LT for almost a year now and would like to make a few suggestions for firmware. It seems most of the new firm ware updates are for Documentary and Broadcast, and a little light on the cinema/narrative side of things. These are some things I feel narrative shooters might...

Hey guys, I was just pixel peeping some footage for a recent shoot that we want to get printed. There is some really weird blocking image that I haven't seen in other frames (maybe never zoomed so close). Is this normal? The following clip only has 2 nodes in resolve so far. A denoiser...

More frame grabs from a quick project at a skate park. Very harsh sunlight light. I was blown away by DR. Some grabs from Gypsy Apothecary. Amazing color!

Here are some grabs from a test I did the first couple of weeks I got my camera. We're still editing the sound, I'll share the final and more ASAP.

I have a question and/or feature request. When your using frame guides to help define your aspect ratio, if you disable to camera details then the frame guides disappear too. Is there a way maintain the guides and toggle the camera details on and off? And I think it would be way more...

I hear what you guys are saying. But with proper IR filtration I'm thinking you can shoot under any light source and not have contamination. Which is basically a documentary shooter's dream. Here is a quick test I did tonight with and without the SO 680 cut, at WB 3200K preset, 24fps...

Blacks were fine on these shots with pro lighting instruments and wider apertures.

these are black track pants...

pants and top are same shade of black.

Hey guys, I messaged a few varicam owners regarding IR pollution, and I am getting mixed feedback. Some are saying no IR pollution, and one DP said he saw some redness in his blacks. I shot some footage this evening and again noticed some types of black fabrics going red. I am thinking that...

Hi guys, While we are on the subject of 5000 ISO and gaining down, I found a scene from Master of None that feel like they were gained up. Grabs are from Master of None, Ep.5 at around 8:00 in. I haven't yet trained my eye to identify the grain textures at the different ISOs, but these clips...

Hey guys, I was wondering if the LT could be speed boosted w/ something like a metabones adapted build for the EF mount? Maybe metabones could be cajoled into producing something for the user community? -Alex

Don't be too jealous! I got mine from a Panasonic Hollywood presentation. I have to admit I've been wearing it to death.. haha!

Hey guys, How do you adjust the audio levels w/o the handgrip? How do you auto white balance from a grey card? Can the Gold Mount battery plate be swapped for a V-Lock plate? I'm not really keen on using a battery adapter that could get knocked off. From what I remember, High Frequency...

Hi guys, I was thinking would it be possible for the new breed of Varicam's to do something like Dynamic Range Stretch or HDRx (on Red cams) via a firmware upgrade to help capture scenes with very high contrast? If you aren't familiar with HDRx, RED's website explains how they do it...

Hey Morgan, I would be interested in hearing your opinion on the Ursa Mini compared to shooting with the Varicam LT. In regards to weight, and single operation, I want to share my experience with the Ursa Mini which weights more than the Fs7 I carried a Mini around w/ 2 Vlocks, Blackmagic EVF...

Thanks for sharing. This is the inspiration that I need to start brain storming my rig. Is there any reason you went w/ the wooden camera handle, and not one of the zacuto wooden handles? i've been considering their 'next generation' recoil system, it looks light weight and pretty compact. I...
