You must have used a very small bead. Did you not use water to activate it? If you use too much, wet the wooden surfaces, and fail to wipe, the result can look like a meringue pie!

I recommend 1/120. The general idea is to keep everything at 180 degrees, or half of the frame rate no matter what you shoot. When you slow it down to 24p, it will have a consistent look, balancing...

Gorilla Glue is perfect for water resistance. The only problem that I've had with it is that it foams so badly. It's also slippery, so you need to clamp things well so they don't slide around before...

On the 5D2, I can push the focus box into the corner and get something like a 2:1 aspect ratio WITHOUT recording. (The 5D2 goes to 480p once recording starts.)

For the 7D, you need two things: a hot signal, and a way to defeat the automatic level control (ALC).

The DXA-5D defeats auto-gain, but doesn't include an amplifier. It uses a high frequency...

Hi Kenneth,

Shooting with the 24mm should give you a feel for the range that you'll get with the zooms that you're considering. You'll get both wider and tighter shots.
