Re: Custom power cables
Stephen,
A few thoughts. First of all, I'm pretty sure you've got the gender wrong on that. Your Frezzi light should have a Male Power Tap connector on it - it should have two pins, not two...

Re: Sony HVR M15 image problems
Funny, I just happen to have used one of these decks at my old job, and I think I know the problem you're having. Check page 51 of the manual - I bet you've got the iLink downconversion turned on.

Re: Great Steadicam shot in a movie
Well, I'd say that's a great collection of shots! I think my final count was 6 shots. The first shot was certainly done on some kind of crane (guessing a Technocrane), as was the second-to-last, and...

Re: Steadicam Merlin Vest - Missing Bolt top chest
Nope - not a metric bolt. Everything on a Steadicam rig will be SAE (Imperial), since they're made in the US. I believe that bolt could be a 6-32, which would measure out to 3.50mm in diameter, if...

Re: Measuring drop times.
I think the important thing is to not get caught up in numbers. I know for a while I was obsessed with getting a 2.5 second drop time. Every time I set up my rig, I would try to get it to to that...

Re: Vinten Forests Sprout at Olympics
I think people may be reading a bit too much into seeing so many Vintens on the Olympics. True, I've only seen one non-Vinten head (a Cartoni), but it makes sense. I've been doing some broadcast work...

KATA RC-11 Raincover (for small shoulder cams)
I used this rain cover with my Panasonic DVC-60, but it was meant for the Canon XL1 and XL2 cameras. It worked quite well, and I'd imagine would work well on any other camera with that form factor...

Re: Meaning of 'chiron'

Re: Steadicam Zephyr-upgrade changes
Chris,
I'd be interested to know what exactly was wrong with your Zephyr. You said the dovetail was defective?
Also, just FYI, The Steadicam Forum isn't owned or operated by Tiffen. It's owned...
