Re: Duran Duran Super35 mm Mega Shoot.
Nice pic Nate, I don't think I've seen that one.
Green Day was my second to last concert shoot as a Steadicam operator (followed by last year's "Glee" show at Radio City).

Re: RED PRO 18-85mm (BT) with F3
The concept of an "affordable" Super35 sensor camera came about so quickly that it's created quite a pricing gap between body and lenses. I imagine there are more than a few F3 early adopters who are...

Re: RED PRO 18-85mm (BT) with F3
Actually the 45-120 is in the original Optimo family (15-40 and 28-76) compatible with 35mm film and digital cameras, while the two you listed are in the Optimo DP (formerly Rouge) series of less...

Re: antlers and electronic leveler
You should be able to pop the level out easily without it breaking--they are quite tough (and actually made of plastic, not glass).
Your built-in inertial "improver" with the Pilot is of course...

Re: HD-SDI and HDMI simultaneous output??
Hi Dan:
Thanks! I saw those 9" ones in my search but that's just undersized for what I need--I have the nano air-spaced behind the camera so I can get to the controls plus I need extra length for...

Re: HD-SDI and HDMI simultaneous output??
Embedded timecode should stay within the signal when looped through a monitor.

Re: HD-SDI and HDMI simultaneous output??
Dan...can you comment on latency when cross-converting modes on the Nanoflash? I notice there is a small (maybe 2 frame) delay with HDMI in and SDI out--does this occur in the reverse direction as...

Re: New Zeiss 35mm F1.4
I think the only real reason to invest the extra money into this would be if one has a tendency towards working with a "showy" depth of field. I personally shoot 90% or more of my work at a f2.8 or...

In Devin's blog he does note that he applied Smoothcam to some of the shots, which I had suspected. A skilled Steadicam operator can achieve most of these results on any...
