Re: Came-TV stabilizer

Re: O'Connor 1030D Arrived!
Between the older (grey) and newer (black) heads, O'Connor was bought by Vitec and manufacturing moved overseas from the Costa Mesa plant. The method of adjusting the counterbalanced changed...

Re: what is your favorite diffusion?
Brian, have you had the opportunity to try the LED Source 4's yet? I"ve sniffed at them at trade shows--seems like they are closer to getting an output similar to the tungsten ones, and the CRI is...

Re: O'Connor 1030D Arrived!
So James, enlighten me--that side load plate is pretty similar to the Sachtler, yes? But not the same? Are either compatible with the Manfrotto system? They all look pretty close. That would be a...

Re: O'Connor 1030D Arrived!
Something I forgot to mention about geared heads is that they have a limited tilt range compared to fluid heads, generally 60 degrees total as opposed to the nearly 180 degrees of an O'Connor. I...

Re: O'Connor 1030D Arrived!
HI everyone. James, I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your 1030. It's a beautiful head and it will last you through many generations of cameras.
About geared heads:
Yes, they were designed at a...

Re: O'Connor 1030D Arrived!
One of the few (maybe only) brands I've remained loyal to my entire career has been O'Connor--on some jobs I've been asked to substitute other heads, even perfectly respectable ones like Sachtlers,...

Re: what is your favorite diffusion?
Hi Mark:
Yes, some of this does have to do with nomenclature. I define wrap more as the distance that the light travels on a subject, so given a traditional interview type setup with the source at...

Re: To Steadicam or Not To Steadicam?

Re: To Steadicam or Not To Steadicam?
As to whether the Movi is "slowly taking over", that depends in who's eyes. Gimbals can't do everything a Steadicam does, and Steadicam can't do everything a gimbal can, and I personally think the...

Re: How to get this effect?
Slow frame rate capture would generally be accompanied by a longer exposure time (shutter), which would reveal as blurring in the frame. This is more likely a version of "step printing", where frames...
