Re: Taken the Plunge
I too started with Dougs file but did some testing and tweaked it a bit. I used some of the numbers from Alan Roberts BBC report and then started using my eye to come up with a couple of CPs that...

Re: Taken the Plunge

Re: mic for vo
If you can't swing the Neumann, my second choice would be the 214.
Reason is the 414 is meant to be an all purpose mic. It has dual capsules and multiple polar patterns which is useful when...

Re: mic for vo
Ha! Another vote for the 414...mine is the TLII variety.
On a budget, the AT2020 is what I have set many VO talents up with.
When the VOs have the budget, the Neumann TLM103 is becoming a...

Re: Aliasing only when screen size is small?
FCP... just have to learn how to use it. Correct that manually dragging a corner to resize the viewer window will yield a horrible image. Better to stick to the 100, 50, 25% presets which look fine....

Re: Heliopan 77mm vari LENS CAP??
Don't the spring type covers rely on the threads being on the inside of the filter? If yours work a different way, how can we get some? I have the same issue with my Singh Ray. Theres no internal...

Re: Genus or Heliopan variable ND filter?
I got mine on sale for $390...UGH!!! When I bought it, the Heliopan and Genus weren't available. It's paid for itself many time over though so I can't complain too much!
Look forward to hearing...

I was looking at the possibility of a fully autonomous steadicam. No need to hold. That way I can operate a second camera. :)

Re: CN-600 LED lights - anyone using these?
My friend has a pair of these and I have a pair of Cool lights that are similar. I like them both but the CoolLights seem better built with better cases.

Re: Lens use for glidecam/merlin?
Canon 28mm 1.8 or Tokina 11-16 on my 7D. Want the rig as light as possible.
My buddy uses the Canon 16-35 on his 5D and it's awesome. He's using a Pilot so the weight isn't an issue at all.

Re: "Shakyness" with the 50mm 1.8 (7D)
Looks more like shutter speed issue. If you're not at double the frame rate (ie 24fps = shutter speed approx 48 or 30fps = 60) it can induce strobing.
Since it's virtually outdoor lighting, you...

Re: Different mixers producing different outputs?
Well, let's do a bit of troubleshooting. I'm assuming you are feeding phantom power to the mic. With the gain switch set at -30 And your mic plugged into channel one, bring the inner knob of channel...
