The short answer is HVX >> Achromat >> Spacer >> BrevisDC said:
And I hope you have one of the new CFL diffuser elements designed for larger cameras like the HVX. Finally, if you don't already have access to the Cinevate Customer Private Forums, you should PM Dennis and request it. Plenty of manuals and guides available there. http://www.cinevate.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=15

Yep, I've got it all attached and working. I guess I'm just looking to tweak it for perfection. I thought if others shared their particular setups, we could all learn.mjeppsen said:

I'm already a member of the Private Forum, thanks. I've gone through a lot of the info. Was curious if anyone had anything new to share here.
Also, I only have the CF1 diffuser. I'm planning on getting the CF1L, which I hear is a significant improvement.

Glad to hear! :thumbsup:
I originally ordered a CF3 (that still hasn't shipped) so I think I'm just gonna switch it out for a CF1L instead.
A couple of weeks ago, I finally opened up the Brevis to clean it. It can be a pain when that dust and dirt gets in there. But a little bit of compressed air in the right spot does the trick.
Also, I think I need to increase the oscilation speed a bit. I'll have to take it apart again. However, it is definitely getting easier each time I fiddle with it. Truly an easy-to-setup and easy-to-use adaptor with a GREAT image (IMHO) . . .
You might not have to with one of the CFL elements. I was going to bump my oscillation speed as well, until my new diffuser came in. CF1L allows me to use a much wider range of camera shutter speeds without seeing flicker.DC said:
Agreed, a very well-designed system.DC said:

I guess tweaking would be sitting there with a focus chart and going through all the numbers and writing them down to get the maximum best out of the adapter. The only adjustment I can see would be the distance meter thing but the mounts I think are already set. The Speed of the GG would also be something to mess with.
I havn't done the first one I mentioned but I did tweak the GG speed. Don't know if it made a diff though. I don't remember which GG i have CF1 I guess. Don't remember an L in the name.

I'd like to get a group together in LA to do something like this and possibly post it for other people starting out or to respond to. I know tons of guys with an M2 and a brevis or whatever dyi unit they are using but no real resource. Seeing as how I recently got the brevis, I'd love some feedback on how to use it best. Any LA guys or girls out there interested in doing this?
