Spot,

That is reassuring. I couldn't believe it had much to do with what I had just shot but with the new CMOS sensors, I wasn't sure. My shot was much more zoomed in on the sun then what you...

I am returning my Century 6.5 WA. I've had it a few days and feel the distortion, meaning blurry edges and CA up the wazoo was just unacceptable to me. I have many other WA's from Century and this...

Lee,

Yeah, I've been thinking that too. It just seems like a weird coincidence that the very next shot I went to take, the iris was no longer working. I do think I had powered down the unit in...

My V1 is screwed up....CAUTION... and where to repair?

While shooting this morning, I pointed by V1 at a flag that was waving and the sun was backlighting it. It was VERY, VERY bright, so I upped the shutter speed and got the effect I was looking for. ...

The super-slo-mo feature is of such poor quality I find it unusable. It's only good for checking your golf swing or something. It would never work for broadcast, maybe web but you'll see, it's all...

One other plus I should mention is the coverage is very even when you don't have the "intensifier" screen down. I like the non-blocked light the best. (All flip downs out) with the V1 it gives you...

Stelios,

Piotr beat me to it. The extended cable is an option you have to move the battery away from the light. Thus making the front of the cam less heavy. How heavy is it depends on how you...

I just got the SONY light this week. It's big and is quite heavy, especially if you use a Sony 970 battery on it. I think it'll work well, though haven't tested it in a working type shoot yet. I...

Heath,

If you're making a film and can control the situation, then I would think using an HDMI card and going direct from camera to computer would be the best option. A lot of extra requirements...

I have shot a regular fireplace (not even explosions)with my FX1 (HDV) and there were definate "ripples" in the flames. I think it's mpeg compression artifacts. It looks pretty bad. As much as I'm...

Bob,

Which Century adaptor are you talking about? Is it one specifically for the V1 or are you talking about using another model with step rings?

I don't think FCP 2 is due out until May sometime. I wasn't at NAB, so maybe someone who was can fill us in as to what the reps "said" it would do with V1 24P footage.

Steve,

You're using Compressor so you must be MAC. Is Movie Factory 6 for the MAC? It looks like it's PC only. I'd like to hear your workflow for doing this.

Only a .79x...I'm looking for at least a .6 or wider.

Seems like there aren't any that wide made for the V1 yet. Does anyone know of one?
