Re: D-Tap Power for 7D & 5Dm2
Good questions Kevin, and you are heading in an intelligent direction with the gear. While it is cheaper to go the AA route, if you go with a standard manufacturer battery in either gold mount or...

Re: NAB 2011, the Great LED Crusade

Re: Balancing a glidecam !?
Chris, I'm glad you are happy with your Cinecity gear. I am however guessing you haven't tried the Steadicam brand versions of the comparable gear as you would probably indicate an even wider gap...

Re: The Sony F65 New Digital Cinema Cam
Yes, it's a bit confusing to compare this camera to 65mm film. Makes sense on a resolution level but having the sensor remain essentially the same size means focal lengths will deliver effectively...

That's true Kirk, and as we have seen many manufacturers go through these kinds of issues. Obviously the product works, as we saw it at NAB last year.
The huge advantage of the Zylight systems is...

Don't know which DSLR's you are using; on some of the Canons (maybe all, I don't use all of them) you can take a test still and bring up a histogram. Generally I've learned how to interpret the...

Re: Tripod: Oconnor 25L or Sachtler DA-150M?
Further, since it was the other brand in question, I believe that the same is true of the O'Connor heads AND they do not have a minimum payload, hence the single line on the graph. I know this is...
