Canon HV20

I'd love to see someone Mod their HV20 into something else that still works and looks dope.

And we know that it's not about camera size (actually in some respects, it is.) but that's not the point. Point is that a human is still a human. Investors want to SEE their money, dude.

That won't change for quite some time.

I challenge Issac to make this:

Slap it on a steadicam merlin or JR and no one will question it's status. I'm no good with photoshop so you'll have to use your imagination...

Start out by wrapping the rig in something like the red cage. Add pistol grips, shoulder pad, 7" lcd, big honking matte box... or 35mm adapter and follow focus.

I've been thinking that this camera is so small that you could mount it on the Redrock M2 upside down so you don't have to flip the image in post, use your monitors the right way up...

My brain just exploded. How does that work? Won't you still have to flip the image?

The image will be recorded upside down so that would work.

Yeah, but he said that you wouldn't have to flip the image in post... but you would. You just view the image in the monitor right side up or something.

Either way, it doesn't change the idea that you have to flip it in post.
 
vidled....that is hillarious!....and using a gun design is not a bad idea IMO....just don't take it to a warzone!

Yes it does. If the camera is upside down, it records the footage upside down. But the RedRock is feeding it upside-down imagery already. So upside-down x upside-down = rightside-up.

But all the people out there with a dream of a getting lucky with a Blair Witch or doing Supersize Me type stuff, I think now will have a better tool to make that happen.

Yes, all the documentarians (and mockumentarians) will love this camera. You get a film look with out even needing a crew or having to carry anything. Low budget, independent and guerilla filmmakers will love this camera... Mostly just guerilla though.
 
This cam is a dream come true to all filmmakers, I think once it comes out and some works are seen by it people are going to be flabbergasted by the quality. The only thing that bums me out is the manual focusing, I so wish it had a ring for that but heck for 1000$ a cam with 24p and hd, I couldn't complain. Now just get a micro35 and some good primes and the manual focus is solved completely. AWESOME! :) gonna make some movies in april.

Oh okay. Well that does sound good. Just couldn't wrap my head around the idea.

So why can't you just do this with an HVX or something like that? Refigure the mounts to raise the M2 or SGPro so you can flip it upside down??

Then you'd just turn the monitor upside down, right?
 
No, you'd leave the monitor rightside up. Problem with an HVX or XHA1 or whatever is that they're just too big to reliably mount and use that way. Plus all your buttons and menus and whatever would be upside-down!
 
You can do it, sure. But why not just get the Letus that flips for you? Or the forthcoming Cinevate with flip... I dunno, I just can't be bothered with that whole flipping-the-image-upside-down workflow. I tried it with the G35 and such, and while the G35 image was surprisingly good, the whole upside-down workflow is just too... well... I dunno. To each his own, but Quyen has already proved that you can make one that flips for you, for half the cost of the non-flippers, so I think we should start demanding right-side-up adapters from these folks instead of accepting the silly upside-down implementations!
