Yeah it was expensive, but its holding up 10K worth of lens, so the boss bought one. Not sure if its often found used or not, can't hurt to try. Here s a link to the thread I had started earlier-

I had the same issue, ended up using the Arri LS-9

along with the DSMC Quick release platform pack and 2 19mm rods from Red (http://goo.gl/CW0Xz)

I'm a C4D artist, and I have Element as well. I'm not really too pumped about the cineware thing, as it seem slike it will just slow down the process, actually. It is delaying the need to make...
Post of the day right here...
I've got the ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB and I've got 2 27" apple displays connected via mini display ports (no adapters) and a third monitor connected to the DVI output. 3 Monitors off one card. Not...
Not to be a jerk, but the Pix240 has done this for a while, with no problems. Now with the new firmware, it records to PrRes 4444 330mbit 12bit as well. A boon for me when I'm keying green screen on...
Fiber or 10gb ethernet?
Situation- 3 edit suites with 2 other offices doing graphics work. FCP 7 lots of after effects work. Right now eveything is tied to a Facilis Terrablock 24D maxed out at...
doubt there are tickets left :(, or I'd try to ditch out and join you!
crap I can't keep up with all the posts.... everytime I jump to the next page 2 more pages of comments pop up...
15mm accessories = $$$
19mm accessories = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I spent $700 on the ls arri bridgplate for our RPZ 18-85. That hurt a bit. Could have gotten a full setup with 15mm...
I still smile when I recall Jarred's comment " You can give people a mountain of gold, and some will complain that they have to climb it."
Or something like that....
And I hope people were severely disciplined because of it.
We are constantly shooting people waist up on green, and we finally took the jump and rotated the EPIC 90º with a ringo head. OMG, you can get so much more resolution that way. It is unreal. After...
We are ordering a test unit of one of these. Right now we have a 48TB facilis Terrablock with 4g fibre running to 4 edits suites. Its been working well, but the volume sharing feature drops the...
You only loose money if you try to sell. same as real estate. The housing market went to hell, the value of my house went down. Poor me. I still live there, it still serves a purpose for which it was...
I would love to read it. I will add it to the shelf behind me filed with "...For Dummies" books and similar...

Far be it for me to have any input here, I've never submitted anything to a festival. but, i would say to work in the AR that works best for the film. There is so much mood that is conveyed by the...
Love it. Now to go and get some projects so I can use these awesome new features. Not to sound pessimistic but, Wonder how long it will be after the release for people to start crabbing about what...
Man, just got my hand wet to slap the OP on the side of the head. Good thing I say the preview of "just kidding"!!!
Those rotating fishpole helmet mount shots are pretty cool, although I'd image...
Amazing shots. Can't imagine the brain power it must take to control those things. I mean not only are you framing the shots and following action, but also making sure you aren't flying into...
I think that this is the perfect camera for your situation, it will all depend on your accessory choices. The rig I work with is what I call a "break down" rig. It is in cases and pieces. The whole...
We do this all the time to the PIX240, works a treat. My only beef would to be able to switch the onboard monitor to RAW check without affecting the SDI output. That is a long asked for feature.
^^^ I was in the same frame of mind. While the shots are amazing, and great movement and framing, watching a video of a highspeed race car like that, my eyes were aching for some high mph shots, of...
This is my first chance to respond to all the awesome tips and feedback. We had our shoot over the past 2 nights. We were shooting reflective street signs from the drivers perspective in a minivan...
Going to be using our EPIC to shoot at night out the back of vehicles and interiors out the front window, and in the bed of a pickup bed over the roof looking forward using gyros. First time for us,...
