Also check out products at Supercircuits.com, plenty of transmitters of different types, some quite inexpensive (and tiny). Please take note, some require licenses to operate legally.

Anamorphic is excruciatingly tough focus-wise on close-ups. I saw the shot in question also and while it was notable, I've seen worse, not that that is a good thing! Probably two inches of depth at...

Priorities are different dependent on useage. Rifas are indeed fast to set up which is good for travel purposes. For narrative work, the priority is generally more oriented towards speed on set when...

How would you describe the specific issue you are having? Presumably you are unable to get the Merlin back to it's proper slightly-bottom-heavy balance--did you extend the caliper or add weights?

I haven't tried that camera on the Merlin yet but I did play with it on the Blackbird, a new competitor to the Merlin (see my NAB review in our articles section) and it worked nicely. I...

Thanks David, but tonight I remembered that the Gangster song plays in a different part of the movie than I referred to (still shot that part)!

"Scrubs" was a fun couple of years for me.
