My new rig.

[James Bridges]

So far so good, great images.

What Canon lens is that you have mounted on the camera?

 

[James Bridges]

It is an HJ17ex7.7B HDXS, I have been using this on my HDX900. It has a B4 to FD, FD to 4/3 mount. You need to use the 2x extender to avoid vignetting and you lose 2 stops, but it is a F3.8 all the way through.
I believe I read Mitch Gross at AbelCine are working on a powering solution for the zoom rocker.

Beastly.
Losing 2 stos,,, not so exciting.

 

[Seamus McFlannel]

But can you bench press it?

 

[monkeyking]

Fantastic.

 

[James Bridges]

It is about as large as my HDX900. I hope someone will develop a battery that will allow me to power the Nano and the camera. This will allow me to
shorten the overall length by eliminating the AB part of the rig and only use that for studio.

 

[James Bridges]

It weighs about 17lbs.

 

[Seamus McFlannel]

But can you curl it?

 

[Brian@202020]

So far so good, great images.

How do you pick it up seeing as the handle is unusable now?

 

[Seamus McFlannel]

It does look awesome, excuse me, "beastly" though.

 

[Seamus McFlannel]

How do you like the Nanoflash, by the way?

 

[James Bridges]

Believe it or not, I was concerned about that as well. I can still get my hand around it. As well as taking on/off the tripod.

 

[James Bridges]

The Nano is a great tool, very little power consumption, high data rates, very small footprint and excellent customer support.
So far the images at 140 mbs, 180 mbs and 220mbs are incredible. We are hoping to go to Cinefilm here in Atlanta for some professional
color grading once the snow melts.

 

[Jaime Valles]

Drool... Would love to see some stills using that lens!

 

[James Bridges]

Will work on it

true, but what a range in focal length.

 

[Neil Richards]

I'd like to see Tabb get that flying in his 'copter

Congrats!

 

[eiker_ir]
