Re: Tripod vs Glidecam
It sounds like this shoot doesn't even require the utility of a stabilizer, in that the shots themselves are not about motion--the idea was to be able to quickly move from one setup to the other, is...

Re: Act of Valor movie shot on 5D
Saw "Act of Valor" last night.
I think it will do very well as it will appeal heavily to the young male demographic. It's a well-made film. All the more impressive considering that the Seals are...

Re: Cameras are starting to arrive
Interesting choice: low daily rental but barely any discount on the weekly. Do four day weeks exist in Canada? Here in LA, rental houses are lucky to get a three day week.

Re: are these cables interchangeable?
Other than the Zylight being a 2.1mm plug and the one you linked being a 2.5mm...!!!
Actually, even if the latter was a 2.1mm, you have to be very carefully when dealing with these types of plugs....

Re: Tokina 28-70 ATX Pro f 2.8 questions
I have this lens, along with four other Tokinas (they are my preferred zooms for video on the DSLR's because of the hard focus stops).
F-stop on the body--is this the Nikon version of the lens?...

Re: question for Zylight Z90 owners
I haven't noted the whine issue, but I also tend to use the Z90 as an accent light thus rarely near mikes. The IS3 doesn't whine.
The accessory holder is a little tricky to learn how to take on...

Well, actually the Segways are designed to work either hard or soft mount, with the operator wearing the rig (if he needs to step off like in this clip) or with the rig mounted to a post on the...

Re: Insane steadicam shot.
Yes, that's an impressive physical feat, and extremely bold for live TV. The hands-free Segways continue to grow in popularity as a Steadicam platform. I tried them a couple times but it wasn't...

Re: question for Zylight Z90 owners
There is a barndoor accessory available for the Z90, which is probably the best way to attach diffusion to the unit.
Gotta say though--tough spun is pretty darn old school, Don!! I haven't seen it...

Re: Does S-Log need to be graded all the time?
Having been forced to match s-log and non s-log footage from the same scene (due to pre v1.3 firmware that didn't allow for 60 fps capture with s-log), I would say the differences between the two are...

Re: Does S-Log need to be graded all the time?
I just spent a couple of weeks with the F800 and while it seemed perfectly nice, I was missing the range of s-log without doubt. A few times I was up against dappled light or hot backlit sun against...

Sachtler is making a good product these days. However you'll find the performance of the Tiffen arms likely smoother.
Back mounted vests are good in theory but they are pretty critical in terms of...

Re: question for Zylight Z90 owners
I am fairly sure there is no fan in a Z90.
What people have complained about is more of a high pitched tone that shifts when you dim the light. I haven't had issues with it myself in terms of it...
