Re: SPC, Necessity or Choice?

Thanks for the input so far. Interesting to see how everyone approaches this.

Re: What should the upgrade to Sony NEX EA 50UH ?

Gentlemen

Yes, I agree about needing maintenance and cleaning. But I don't think I do it nearly as often as some guys. And never just because its routine before a shoot. I do a lot of lens...

Re: What should the upgrade to Sony NEX EA 50UH ?

First, I believe in matched cameras for any multicam shoot. I have no idea how some guys do things. They will discuss the nuances of "looks" all day long. But their kit is a mix of different...

Re: $4000 Challenge: Help Me Assemble a DSLR/GoPro Kit

Scott,

Your going to laugh at me but I saw one egregious error on your list and it is not the "camera" type gear. It is the Lowe 202 slingshot bag.

That is an urban camera bag, it is not at...

Re: LED DIY?

Your probably right. The old Home Depot kits some guys built had powerful tungsten lamps so it was not an issue. The search I did before my post found the cheap LEDs to be around 4000K and i"m sure...

Re: OK to mix Photo CFL with Daylight and CTB tungsten?

Good idea Seth.

Les, if your getting low on output from the Rifa loose the crate. My 15* crates take up at least a full stop at 500W on my Rifa 55s. I love the control of the light but sometimes...

@John Natnz.....There was a time in my professional still days when you shot with a Nikon F3 or you were not a pro. Best damn camera ever made! And bullet proof, even a UPS carrier could not hurt...

Re: OK to mix Photo CFL with Daylight and CTB tungsten?

Les,

I am not the best person to answer this. And I don't use CFLs. I have (like you) mixed my Lowell tungsten with daylight. I think a point to remember here is that the true temperature of...

Re: $4000 Challenge: Help Me Assemble a DSLR/GoPro Kit

Hi Scott,

It occurred to me that maybe you should define the shooting "style" you are after here. Many "nonprofit communications directors" stick to an almost journalistic approach to appeal to...

Re: When to invest in new equipment and sale old equipment?

Thank you for the detailed response gentlemen. Having the luxury of a crop factor means very little to me. As I have said before I have no need for 4K yet as far as my clientele go. I am going to...

Roger,

This is off topic but I am curious......When you have a 4K time line and you manipulate the entire thing into crops, pans zooms etc aren't you creating a processing monster? Do you edit...

Re: When to invest in new equipment and sale old equipment?

I have a very sober attitude about this. My gear lust days are long gone. It is 100% ROI for me. I work exclusively in the corporate market. They do not even know what 4K is and have no use for...

Re: What's your strategy for setting gain with wireless?

For the record.... I was not picking on you at all. I think you know that. In fact I agree with you about the ME2. It is what it is and you call the truth.

Re: What's your strategy for setting gain with wireless?

A couple more thoughts. As Rick has stated many times the ME2 is a POS mic. Yet many of us own at least one of them (including me). To be specific the ME2 is Sennheisers "kit mic", it is an omni...

Beating the size/weight vs performance curve is tough. I don't believe you will find it on the low end like Benro. That is not to say they don't have a place, it means the compromise IS...
