Rigging your FS100

Beeing the guy in the video, in the slowmotion bit (Camera Comparison), I can tell you that he had a Atomos Ninja at hand. He recorded onto that.
He used a Marshal monitor and a light Zacuto rig, with a Zacuto follow focus. He put the HDMI out into the marshall and then into the Atomos!
 
No one can really quantify how much better a sound is going to sound recorded at 24/96. Just because a 24/96 file has 250 times the audio resolution does not mean it will sound 250 times better; it won't even sound twice the quality. In truth, your non-musically inclined friends may not even notice the difference. You probably will, but don't expect anything dramatic. Can you hear the difference between an MP3 and a wave file? If so, you will probably hear the difference between different sample rates. For example, the difference between 22.05 kHz and 44.1 kHz is very clear to most music lovers. A trained ear can tell the difference between 32khz and 44.1. But when 44.1 and 96kHz are compared it gets real subjective.

Zacuto never got the balance right - their shoulder pads are always to far behind.

I wish someone would make a base plate with integrated shoulder pad that works like the tripod plate on the old Betacams, so the camera is really on your shoulder instead of a foot in front of you.
GENI has at least something similar but without the pad.

Frank,

I guess you're right generally (with bigger cameras like the EX3 with a long lens) - but in the case of the smallish FS100, with the shoulder pad under it, where would the follow focus knob land - on your nose :) Just look again at this picture!
