Wow, that's a cool lookin' rig! I wish I knew about this commercial as I'm in Vancouver and would have loved to see this. Vancouver WA or Vancouver BC?

Did you supply the cameras Michael or was it rented here in Vancouver?

The hand held system is made by Blue Handle they manufacture the Tango head it's very pricey but works great.

Radiant,

Have you had any problems with the FF5?

I have an FF5 myself and have been happy with it, but I've seen people complain that it doesn't fit properly with some lenses.

Just wondered if you ever ran into this problem.

Hello Harky,
I have used the FF5 for 6 months and my feelings are mixed.

Pro:
1. Love the fact that the FF5 is so lightweight and lower profile.
2. Very efficient and adaptable.

Cons:
I am just not crazy about using it on bigger barrel lenses, such as the Arri Master Primes, they are a bit too close and you can not really get a full lock.

But again over all a great tool for smaller lenses.

Thanks
 
That's what I was curious about. Thanks!

I'm assuming that even though it's not ideal you can get it to work on larger barrel lenses.
 
Hi Radiant,

What's the shoulder mount rig you're using...it looks good and comfortable
and by the way what was the main purpose of those panasonic 17inch monitors on set? thanks for those precious info...and the chicks look great too not just the camera

The Camwave system is able to send both SD/SDI & HD/SDI so why down convert to SD? I'm asking because I'm thinking about purchasing very soon so I hope I got my facts straight.

With all due respect, it's amazing to watch how much better the APRIL spot is than the others. Photographically, that one is just ridiculous!
