Solved GH1 video out!

[andyjar]

I built a 16' crane and needed to see what the heck I was shooting. So I did this. And it works surprisingly well, I just need a small piece of cloth to go over the space between them so I don't get reflections.

lol good idea!

 

[HDkilledFILM.]

I love it!

Also if anyone is in the Chicago suburbs, check out Powder Coating Specialists in Brookfield (and come say hi to me, I'm in the same town.) They quoted me only $120 to powder coat the whole jib black--quite a deal if you ask me.

I laughed out loud at that photo.

LOL,

what plans did you use to make the jib? I would be interested to see more pics of the rig/parts list.

The jib is the Big Carnival Crane from DV Camera Rigs. Here's a couple pics...

It breaks apart into 4 foot sections. Whole thing was about $300 in materials.

Why not! If you can manage it without much trouble and get the exposure right, could be helpful.

Why not trying hi-res wireless cams streaming to laptops or netbooks? Much more smaller and mobile. Just an idea.

It looks like a protest to panasonic

Whatever works! It's a modern day Video Assist.

Is there a hack for that Sony model?

 

[timbook2]

I love workarounds! quick and dirty like this are my favourite!!

Hey, Martti. Do you know if the zigview can be used on the gh1? It lists it for canon and nikon. No adapter for gh1...
