Re: Wireless HD transmission?
The Paralinx Arrow has the same engine as the Bolt, but it is HDMI rather than HD-SDI which fits James' needs as described. Expected performance to be about the same.

Stuart, I couldn't answer that. Does your production have specific aspects that are red flags for rolling shutter, why is it a concern to this degree?

Either overexposed in camera or pushed in post--either way, not loving some of those blown skintones (office and street scenes).

This is probably a rhetorical question but the answer is yes. First off, most of those carts are under $2K, and the feature set most comparable to the cart you bought is around $700. The advantages...

Re: Dolly that fits through doorways?
Well, it sort of begs the question but the obvious answer is: a Doorway Dolly. But, a one man band operation it is not. Any rideable dolly obviously requires someone to push it.

Re: Setup for 5D on a Steadicam Scout
Hi Kris:
OK, so let's break down what you are working with. The "classic" Blackmagic HDMI converter is spec'd at 12v but really, it's 12v or less (down to something like 9v as I recall). Over 12v,...
