Well bless my britches....
an actual photo! I take back the vaporware comment!
now where can I try one out, and then anyone want to buy a mini35?

um, what's with the 45 degree angle pitch thing happening there?

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

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.

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

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.

This are frames of the last music video clip, photographed by Marcus Stotz.

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

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

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.

dietmar

Dietmar,

Just wondering if you sent the dvd yet?

Thanks,

Norm

give me a V!

sorry I deleted it.

Was Movie Tube at NAB? Does it sell or rent in US or anywhere in world, will it work with HD/HDV?

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.
