Re: Are commonly available materials fire-proof?
In general natural materials are less of a fire hazard than man made ones.
Sure everything will burn or melt however the biggest danger with a fire is not the fire but the toxic fumes.

Re: Trim levels
This setting in the EX1 refers to input sensitivity, ideally that value is relative to 0dBm.
The two physical level controls then adjust gain relative to that. Optimally you adjust the input...

Re: Comer LBPS 1800 problem
I suspect the batteries are not being drained as such. There's a lot of energy stored in those batteries and for it all to be drained at once smoke and fire would likely be involved.
What those...

Re: EF vs MFT version
One downside to not using all the glass is you're simply wasting light.
That's the thinking behind the Metabones Speed Booster.

Re: Desisti "Rembrandt" 12K HMI

That test does seem to show how useful such a light is. A big light source far away looks different to a smaller light source close...

Re: ex1r or pmw200?

I can see the 200 not lasting 2 years.
The vents on the top of the camera seem carefully...

Re: Shall I order the Comer 1800 V2 ?
I'm very happy with the original 1800 on my EX1.
Weight for me is less of a problem as I power the light from the camera battery. If that's not an option I'd suggest the 950 rather than the 970...

Re: new PMW-200: fatal (for me) flaw

Re: TC over HDMI - when?
The difference in the TC between the camera and the Nano is probably not such a big issue. Having to press the record button on the Nano is an issue.

Are there any plans for a future firmware upgrade to enable the Nano to read this...

Re: Lightmaker 6,000/12,000watt ballast
I'd expect a reasonable gap in a lamp of that power. I don't think the gap widens with use, the gas wears out. The CT also drops with use so it's pretty easy to judge when the lamp is on its last...
