Best use of Varicam or F900 after you buy a RED?

[I Bloom]

I've heard boat anchor.

I was considering whether kids could use one to slide down a hill in the snow, but I don't think the Varicam would stack up to one of those plastic things. Maybe the F900...

You could throw one at an attacker in order to gain time to run away.

Any other ideas?

You can always send them my way. I will find 'something' to do with them!

Bolster your rental kit... the more the merrier, right?

Or you could use it to stand on while you trying to reach something on a high shelf.

Behind-the-Scene stuff.

I was always wanting to update my iSight camera

Behind-the-Scene stuff.

That one is my favorite one so far....lol

Would make a very impressive security camera.

You could use it as a counterweight on a Jib arm maybe...

Hahahahahaha!

And get a reverse (kind of) to boot.

sell to a shitty film school

Speaking of coffee tables...I've got a friend in L.A. who has a pair of Oscars (no not the fish) sitting on his coffee table and glued to the head of one of them is an alligator clip making it the worlds heaviest roach clip. Mayby something practicle could be done like this.

 

[BLUESPIDER]

I'll use it to shoot weddings and birthday parties.

Los Angeles Film School would love to have another one of these! That way they could brag in their marketing text that they've increased their high-end camera department by 25% in the last year! [which would just mean they bought one more nice camera]

This thread is awesome.

I think giving the F900 a dignified death would be proper, dress it up a little bit, add a few trinkets to the side, and make it a movie prop, I'm thinking like a specialized gun in a sci-fi movie or maybe a motion tracking device, or sonar imaging.

Send it to a taxidermist for mounting. Then wall mount it in the den between the 3/4" tape reel display and the petroglyphs.

Or you can put in a time capsule.

Agreed. With a few modifications, it would make a convincing Interdimensional viewer.

 

[Corrado Silveri]

Sell them to the Pana or Sony representatives. They know what to do.

 

[chuck colburn]

Mount two of them together and you have a 3-D Interdimensional viewer!
