sorry if this has been asked, but..

are there any problems with shooting fast moving objects with a 35mm adapter? (red rock, or letusflip most likely)

i will be shooting skating and interviews.

people say it may be overkill for skating, but i see 35 footage that looks just like 16mm, and that is the look im going for.

are there any things that i need to watch out for?

hmm...

oh. can i hand hold with the redrock?. i know it has the rods, ive never seen anyone hand holding it so im wondering, without some kinda stabalizer, could i hand hold it?
 
Things to look out for: With moving adapters you'll start to see the grain/flicker at high shutter speeds, and higher shutter means you need more light. If you don't want grain you may be stuck at 1/50 or 1/60 which means motion blur, depends on the particular adapter, I would guess spinners like the M2 can go to higher shutter than oscillators like the Letus, but I'm only guessing. With my oscillators I can't go above 1/50 before grain is noticable, but if the camera isn't stationary you probably wouldn't notice it in an action shot for example. And if you were really worried about it you could probably try dynamic noise reduction in post to fix it. You may have issues with motor noise being picked up by the mic for interviews.

hey nick, I did some follow filming with a static adapter (ifocus35) and that was really light so theyre was no problems with hand holding...not sure about the weight of the redrock. Only problems i had were keeping the skater in focus as I was mostly concentrating on framing so as the skater moved further and closer to the lens he went in and out of focus slightly... looked cool though, would definatly use it for some static shots.
