Robert Rodriguez shooting music video with badass Canon 7D rig

Is that a wide angle lens adapter? or maybe just a lens hood

I knew I should've gone to the park last Saturday. Rats!

Just a rubber lens hood. No sense in putting a WA attachment on an interchangeable lens system...that's what the lenses are for

Hahah... I realized it when scrolling down to the pictures with better angle at that

the bigger the rig, the better the final video...RIGHT?

With the added weight, with these types of cameras...then in a lot of cases yes. Its small size can be both a blessing and a curse.

actually I was just making fun of the rig-hype

What lens does he have on the 7D without all of the gear on it?

my guess is that in the top pics its the white 70-200 f4L lens and in the bottom pics the shorter black lens with the red line is the 24-105 f4L

Ha, I knew you knew! Dammed, now I look like an idiot because I explained my already bad joke :embarasse

Is an exaggeration but still look cool, like someone wrote before, cinema rigs look like that, but I will, take my time to make my rig a little more compact and slick.
Chek out: Digital Cinema DSLR Rig

This is from Jimmy Lindsey - the DoP on the shoot giving some info on the rigs (posted on Phil's site):

"Jimmy Lindsey here. The man in the brown hat with the Z finder. I was Robert’s DoP on the ‘Bob Schneider’ music video (as well as his last feature ‘Machete’) and those are my 7D rigs at work. After seeing all the questions, I thought I might shed a little light on the subject. The rig Robert is using was set up to allow him to see an HDSDI image on a 7″ Panasonic onboard monitor while his AC (the insanely talented Sebastian Vega) pulls focus with a Preston FIZ from a 17″ Panasonic monitor. Very necessary as you know when shooting on a 200mm at a 2.8. The signal was split from HDMI to 2 HDSDIs using the Aja Black Magic powered by a Nebtek adapter and Sony M batteries. Both the Preston and the onboard were powered with a D tap cable and a Sony onboard battery. We also got some beautiful shots with my 50mm 1.4 and a lensbaby composer with single glass and plastic optics."

Fantastic. Glad you were in the right place at the right time. Plus, you can totally justify buying these expensive cams to your wife.
