I've never been much inclined to own a jib, but this one has some nice features and I will keep an eye on it as you continue to develop it. The...

In the video they make a point of pooh-poohing someone who suggested that what they are using is not an optical viewfinder, and it isn't, not as the term has always been used (a true optical path...

I have considered that, Ed, but 30p delivers a look that is much closer to 24p than 60i, which for once is desirable (again, this is meant to replicate a classic live television program). I don't...

Thanks David.

Hi Dave:

I recently tested the latest Transvideo Steadicam monitor and have seen the others in use. I'm actually hoping to organize a comprehensive monitor "shoot-out" in the coming months--plant...

60p mode on EX3

Hi chaps.

I am doing a shoot this weekend that is meant to suggest a classic TV talk show. We are shooting on EX3's; obviously not a match for the old tube cameras! but I'd like to shoot in 60p...

p.s. re-reading my earlier post, I think I was temporarily possessed by the ghost of some pretentious English professor.
