Has something to do with the inverting mirrors, is that right?

Dietmar Zonewicz · December 28th, 2004, 04:16 AM

Yes, they call it Schmidt-Prism it is a special kind of prism.
The versions for the 2/3" camcorders will have some other kind of prism.

@Norm: please send me your address. then I'll send you a copy of this DVD.

Yeah, I'm not really digging the 45 degree angle, either. Seems like it would be uncomfortable to hold. Overall, it just seems bulky and awkward compared to the Mini35.

I'm glad that there's finally going to be competition for the Mini35, though! Then again -- this thing doesn't work with the XL1 / XL2? I think that fact alone (besides its Herman Munster styling) may be its downfall.

Hmm - we'll see.

Cosmin Rotaru · January 5th, 2005, 12:46 PM

I think it looks much better then the mini35. How much?

Richard Mellor · January 6th, 2005, 11:17 AM

hi everyone: is there any way we could all see a clip of anything shot with this I have been hearing about this device for almost a year. and have yet to see even a still. heck the kids in the agus35 thread post shots . or is this the famous teaser.

More and better Frames and a short clip will follow. I got a DV copy of the cutted but not graded clip.

EDIT: The clip was captured with a Sony PD150 and the black bars where added in the post.

Dietmar,

very nice clip!

do you think that is possible to show us just uncompressed still from your work?

i mean - uncompressed grabframe from your shot.

and maybe setup of movietube with your camera?

how difficult is to work with something on that shape on the sholuder/tripod?

thanks,

filip

Dietmar Zonewicz · January 9th, 2005, 02:25 AM

on an uncompressed image you wouldn't see much more, as the jpeg's are on very high quality. Or would you like to play with a frame grab for testing the image itself?

As I wrote some lines above, this wasn't my project and i wasn't my camera - I got this as some kind of high quality sample shot. It was shot by Marcus Stotz with a Sony PD-150. I think there will be some more interesting clips and images on the movietube website soon.

I have seen a dvd with HDV footage with the movietube and it looks beautiful.
I can't share any of the images on it though as those images are not officially released.

I think there are one or two movietubes available for rent in germany and the first batch is supposed to be delivered in a few weeks. I've got one on preorder.

If you want accurate info, I suggest you e-mail the movietube people directly.
