Just got a new camera - Sony F35

[mlysbakken]

What about the two square parts that stick up on the original Lanparte baseplate. Did you have to remove them as well? Wouldn't that cause some reliability issues?

 

[macgregor]

which ones?

 

[mlysbakken]

These ones:

 

[macgregor]

Removed.

 

[mlysbakken]

Thanks! Is the battery plate a Sony BKP-L551? What do you think of that unit compared to more inexpensive solutions like the one Greyfus mentioned?

 

[macgregor]

I've seen the Sony one for lke $200 and I know there are even cheaper versions out there from other brands.

Miguel is a terrible influence ; )




I dont know what ive gotten myself into, I dont even have a lens yet...

 

[mlysbakken]

Last question, hehe: How did you manage to attach the Hyperdeck to the battery? Aren't they both smooth on the back?
I've been thinking about using velcro, but I doubt that will be safe.

 

[Grug]

Congrats Hunter! What are you planning to record to?

After weeks of working with the hyperdeck, velcro hasn't failed a single time. Actually it would be easier to de-attach the Vmount battery by a hit than the hyperdeck attached with 2" velcro. Velcro it's undestructuble. And light.

Grug- Thanks! I have a project with a ton of interviews in march, was planning on shooting all hdcamSR on that. Other than that I will just use the hyperdeck (there is actually one in my pic if you can spot it).

 

[Kholi]

Hyperdeck weighs like nothing. Velcro is completely fine, heck I've had the unit up against my shoulder while opin'g and the velcro shifted at the most, unit never fell off.

Hunter gonna Nikon mount it?

 

[Hunter Hampton]

Yeah, im going to try to Nikon mount it, but I need another lens mount first so I don't have to destroy the PL one.

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

Good to see you jump in Hunter, cant wait to see what you do with it!

 

[dustylense]

Holy dumplings, that forest footage is incredible! How about posting the seascape footage!

 

[macgregor]

Oh man, I love this camera:

Original:

Graded:

As sharp as the Samsara bluray?

 

[jambredz]

yikes. looks great

 

[mlysbakken]

The stuff you manage to get out of this thing is quite incredible, macgregor. Hats off!

My camera arrived today. Can't wait to put it through its paces, but have to receive an AC adapter and a couple of V-mount batteries first. Sadly, one of the accessory mount levers on the camera was broken. I'm trying to get a replacement from sony, but I might have to come up with a DIY solution. Have any of you guys noticed any flimsiness in your levers?

Welcome to the team!
What did it break exactly?

 

[mlysbakken]

Thanks! One of the clamps/levers/locks that you use to attach the interface box or HDCAM SR deck to the rear of the camera. It's the long thingy with numbers and a hinge on it.
