Alright....my pictures of my rig and my first day of shooting
The rails and shoulder mounts with plate came to about $400....thanks Cavision

I've had a Flip but I can't belive how much better the LEX is for quality of build and image

Suhweet. Nice lookin rig, dude. Not too high up for my tastes either.

Shots from the first day

Shots from the first day

It was a photo shoot shot in natural light under a huge skylight with one strobe and a white bounce. Not a ton of light to shoot but f.4.0 on the zeiss's.

What is that matte box and how much>

Awesome rig, dude.

 

[Kholi]

It's a Cinevate mattebox. Same as Cavision.

Nice rig. What monitor is that?
Do you have any footage of that shoot or just stills?

 

[thekreative]

the monitor is a philips that came with a dvd player for $125 on sale at target
basically the same specs as most cheap non-HD monitors
takes 12v and standard threads.

the footage is for a campaign that starts on the 1st so I'll post some video after that

Same thoughts here - I also had a Flip but bought the Extreme and couldn't be happier with the difference. Good looking rig you've got there.

 

[chagchag]

you should be careful shooting at f4. grain will be visible... especially with strobes

 

[Kholi]

Grain is not always visible at F4. At 5.6, 4 is okay with the LetusExtreme and Brevis.

 

[thekreative]

yah, no grain at all. Having it any wider and the depth of field is way to shallow for this type of shot. F4 to F5.6 seems to be the sweet spot for me. Enough light and a deeper DOF
