Re: Small Jib for Creative Shots.
Yes that's the one where we used it on one of my weddings.

Earlier this week, I was playing with one in Best Buy, and I was pretty sure I was able to go full manual and control each aspect manually, but it required menu diving for each one. I'll have to go...

Re: Nikon D750 worth it over D5500 for Video
I got the D750 24-120 F4 kit for video and it works pretty good.
I'll have to say, focus performance is lacking compared to my Nikon V1, but that's not really a fair comparison because the V1 is...

Re: PXW-X70 or HDR-AX2000
I'm guessing maybe they've got new versions coming out in the near future.
The AX100 price was dropped to $1698 several weeks ago.

Re: Rehearsal Dinner and what to charge?
About $1,000 and yes it's on the final video.
