The bar is the blanking interval. It represents the 45 lines of ancillary data and blanking that are masked by the CRT bezel. When one captures a non sync’d frame the bar represent the delay between fields. At 144 degree shutter you’re going to see x amount of lines from field 1, the blanking...

Aperture is the default function of the control ring, there are 9 other functions that can be assigned. The lens works well with the Komodo app based focus tools. It’s super easy to set up a rack between several points. It would be an improvement to see support for the 2 function buttons on...

Eight versions later I'm really happy with the side handle. With the angle of the grip the camera sits very comfortably in front of one's sternum, for my vision this is perfect. If you'd like to try it out the 3d printable file it can be located here. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7121658...

The EW100 has plenty of gain, the shotguns used a preamp (phantom), but the audio was still recorded in-camera. In fact the line level signal recorded in camera (from the preamp) is going to vary only minimally from a field recorder. 24 bit is 24 bit it's the mic-level preamp that makes all...

There's some soft vignetting at both ends of the zoom but nothing hard or objectionable, basically par for the course. My rig with a 50wh v-mount and this lens is just over 6lbs, loving that. Autofocus seems to work pretty well. If you override it with manual control it stays overridden until...

You may not even need the SDK, there is an RCP protocol that uses websocket and JSON, I built an RCP for the OG Komodo in Companion and I'm not a computer guy. I imagine someone with some actual experience could knock something out pretty quickly. https://www.red.com/download/rcp-documentation...

I'm a hobby shooter at best these days but I never had any issues with LQ and recording audio internally for talking head stuff. My primary mic is an EW100 wireless lav setup, I've rented a 416 and an 8060 (with preamp) in the past and primarily used the lav audio on account of the air...

I've got a nice clean Tokina 28-70mm for sale. Originally in Nikon mount with a manual aperture. The lens has been declicked, Leitaxed, and some 3d printed follow focus gears have been added. Nice clean copy, still has the original box and paperwork, with matching serials. Nice lens for...

I have EF and PL Kippertie RF adapters for sale. Still have the original boxes. Buyers choice, chinstrap or support foot. $400 each.

I think you need to switch Timecode Display Mode from TOD to Edge. Allegedly that’s rec run but I haven’t tested it personally. Good Luck

There is both TC and metadata over SDI. Files recorded with a Ninja have both matching TC and filenames.

It's from the very easy to pronounce JSADZKJ Store on Amazon. I'm still looking for the right locking one but haven't had any luck yet. The phone cage requires a rather long usbc right angle. Good Luck

I'm using the wing on the right with a 3D printed handle that wraps over the wing and keeps everything close to the body. Not a fan of wide handles and steering wheel setups. Without the zoom lens and EF adapter this setup is only 4.5 pounds. Really looking forward to the Sigma 17-40mm as...

A rando Best Buy switch isn’t going to do the job. A switch that supports Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1588v2) like a Cisco 9300 and a PTP master clock should work.

In all fairness the series is titled "Master Lighting for Drama" when in reality it's just a Nanlite ad. Go Rodney, get paid, but there's literally zero instruction in this "master" class. Good Luck
