Consultation: your place or mine?

Re: Hand signals for Videographers
Don, since you are, and always have been, a solo shooter, I have to ask - who in the world were you signaling? They must have thought you were nuts. LOL

Re: Help with DSLR Focusing
I apologize if I am misdirecting the OP's original question, but I think a lot of people here use the Z-Finder for this purpose. My question is, has anyone used the Neewer DSLR viewfinder? The Zacuto...

Re: Tips for solo shooters
There are so many good tips and thoughts here, now I have a question which merits starting another thread, rather than go off topic here!

Re: Tips for solo shooters
Don, when I said "handheld", I guess I really meant with a monopod. I want to become proficient with my 7D and move about with it. No way I would do that handheld - especially with a non-IS lens. (I...

I think maybe I can kill 2 birds with one stone here; I was planning on playing around with my 7D this weekend, and start learning to use it. Then, I can also get a feel for ingesting/transcoding...

Re: Greetings from (yet another) newbie...
Katie, the New AG AC130 uses the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec, which I assume is the same as the HMC150's. I have always ingested everything into FCP and edited from there - but that's easy to do when...

Re: Greetings from (yet another) newbie...
I don't want to oversimplify, but it seems like if you're gonna do weddings, your cameras better be 1/3" sensors, or better. So that certainly takes my JVC Hm100u out of the picture. But since I have...

Re: Greetings from (yet another) newbie...
I've been looking at the specs of the Panny 130. Definitely a great looking camera. I'm not sure if I can find room in the budget for 2 of them though. That's 8 grand without spending a nickel on all...

Corey,
I do want to monitor some source of audio while recording, but I still think another Zoom is a good idea, if only as a backup. Can't have too many sources of good audio, right?
