More Dublinites, or Dubliners... Dublonians? Anyway Thanx Senior Bloom!!!

Very cool! Took the liberty of checking out the zacuto video blog, freaking hilarious dude.

Yeah, the skewing is still quite present with that 35mm lens, which is what again, roughly equivalent to a 56mm? Mind you, it was being moved quite forcefully so im sure anything slower could easily minimized the skewing. Woulnd't really call it Jello though.

Very excited to get this cam.

He was really whipping it around though. I was struck by how much it looked like typical ENG "pull it wide and get in their face" footage (only much much much cleaner). I wonder what rig was being used? I saw the one shot of someone just hand holding a naked 7D. I wonder how that works out....
 
the part when the guy is getting make up or something you can see the guy in the mirror with the 7D. It looks like he is just holding it. No rigs.
 
We have seen that with the D300s. Great pro video but not so good video from others.

Sure, it looks good when a good cinematographer uses it. Let's see some footage from an epileptic four year-old who's blind in one eye. Then we'll know.

They are in the *Zacuto head office*.

Look again. :-)

You can see the cameraman's pinky wrap around some metal tubing at 4:41. (Zacuto Tactical Shooter maybe?)

In other news: "Bob Primes" declared most awesome name ever for a Director of Photography.

O_o ummmmm ok, OR you could just dip your hands in ice water for 20 minutes first, OR you could slam your hand in a door, OR hit record and then lay on your back and use your feet, OR smash your finger tips with a ball peen hammer first, OR balance on one foot while juggling the camera with a bowling pin and bowling ball, OR video tape a fly being chased by a cat... I'm sure there are many ways that don't involve the hypothetical misuse of imaginary disabled children :grin:

Then we will now that epileptic four-year old one eye little fellow, God protect him, should not be getting this cam. A camera at this level IS for professionals. If the person isn't a pro and is not going to take full advantage of is capabilities then he should go and get a point and shoot. He would be doing himself a favor. In reality if you are a pro, or can at least function some of the time as one, you can get good looking footage from any camera. But if the person is just pretending, or a wannabe, thats another story.

You have a sharp eye. Something there for sure.

The zacuto office shots are the most revealing for the camera, IMO. That's the video that really sold it for me.
I think this will be a GH1 killer, especially for someone like me with a ppc mac. The workflow will be 20x's faster and easier. No mud that I can detect. Decent sound for docu stuff. Very little jello. Blown highlights seem to fall off nicer than the GH1. A lot less banding. Imagine the shot at 6:54 on the GH1.. red gradient BG in low light. It's wouldn't be pretty.
 
I was really impressed with the footage while Bloom was getting his face put on, the hilights of the bulbs along the glass and the wall was very very reassuring. Cannot wait for this to arrive.
 
Nice footage there- it'll be great to see more!
I can definitely appreciate the daytime shots to see how everything is taking shape- Well I guess I am sold- now if I can figure out solutions to the audio issues and other quagmires for the HDSLRs this will be cake for a cam;-)

Thanks!

This might work for your audio solution from Beachtek

It sells for $379.00 and defeats AGC. This is made for the 5DII, but I see no reason it wouldn't work for the 7D. It also comes with headphone jack to monitor sound being recorded. It will not monitor playback of course.

Hmmm seems like a godsend to me- monitoring audio during playback wouldn't necessarily come close as a dealbreaker if I can feel confident while monitoring whats coming in. It'll be like engineering a record old-school style where you pretty much had to commit to whatever was gonna go to tape (as there wasn't exactly any 'undo' button or whatever of any kind)- just be mindful of what is going in

This has the 3/8" screwhole below for baseplate/rods/tripod mounting underneath the audiobox i presume

One would hope. This does have pins that line up to mount to the 5DII, so I'm thinking they may not line up with the 7D. The pins can be removed though for mounting to other gear. Just an FYI.
