Review of Cinemek G35

why is it $1200 if there's nothing to it? no vibrating or flipping, just a piece of metal and glass.

I'm gonna stick my neck way out here and suggest that there's been considerable R&D put into the elements and alot of care in the small details (nitrogen purging, build quality, etc,).

Quality takes time and costs money.

Oh, man. I design audio plug-ins and I've been asked such questions so many times - 'Why does your software cost so much? It costs you nothing to make another copy, doesn't it?'... It's so silly that sometimes I'm tempted to answer - because you buy it ;)

Awesome Phillip! I watched your work with the G35 several times, as well as going through you set up. It is however, maybe 1 of 3 rigs I've actually found of a G35 set up. 1 being from the Zacuto website, ha.

Can you tell me if what im seeing at 2:48 is the static screen/glass. Or is that compression? Or maybe its my 19" CRT monitor. =)

Also, would this setup be longer than your Ultimate? If so, does the added length weigh more/less than your Ultimate and does it make it harder to find a central point of balance?

thx

it's way more than just a piece of metal and glass...if it was just a piece of metal and glass am sure you could knock one up in your garage next weekend ;-)

oh i know but i mean, look at the redrock, brevis, sg blade, any of those, they're finely cut, brand name, intricate pieces of machinery, and can be flipped, scewed, whatever the hell you want, for nearly $500 less, this seems like just a metal tube, so it must be in the glass they use and whatnot

Sure, but the R&D of making a proprietary static screen is a fair bit of dosh! It's also a tank. Really, really well made. Unfortunately well made stuff costs a lot, this is still a heck of a lot less than the Movietube Jr, which admittedly does come with a flip. Cinemek is not a big company. They have been working away hard on this adaptor for an age and it shows with it's quality.

Am lucky enough to have the Letus line, SGBlade, Brevis and now this. I use them like I use different film stocks. Different looks for different projects...all i need now is an Encore!!
