Re: Tokina 28-80/2.8 on 550D
I use both this lens and the 80-200 for shooting video--they are a tad softer than the similar Canons but of course less expensive. Build quality is great, they are tanks. I like that both have...

Re: Balancing a glidecam !?
Thanks Pascal. All is going well--just shot my second network pilot and believe it or not, I don't miss flying the rig at all...!
The patent thing is based on distant memory--I may have it wrong...

Re: Balancing a glidecam !?
Actually the offset handle on the Glidecam is there to avoid patent infringement which was relevant when it first came out (that patent has expired, hence the Blackbird).
All handheld stabilizers...

Re: Studio Green Screen Lighting Advice
Kinos are indeed the way to go. They run cool, light evenly and are relatively inexpensive. I'm sure there are knockoffs that will do the job but you can search here for information for those, I...

Re: Pics of the F3 on a handheld rig
Ahem guys--welcome to the big leagues. Large sensor PL cameras mean heavy lenses. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, consider the solutions that have been in place for years to manage larger rigs.

Yes it does--it becomes a mounting point for accessories at the front of the camera assembly. Which I've taken to a further level than O'Connor themselves--see attached photo. However, the...

Seconded on the O-box--I just bought one last month. There are a few caveats on it but it is overall built very solidly with an intelligent design. The unique addition of the mounting bar on top is...

Re: Night shoot with Zeiss CP2 lens.

Two battery powered lights could have elevated the visuals significantly. Some shots are...

It is unfortunate that the smaller stabilizers (and really, the whole Tiffen line) are not modular units--you have to buy the whole enchilada. Compare this with the high end offerings from...
