Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)
I just saw the final edit of a piece I shot with lots of backlit skies and sun flares. There's banding in almost all of the backlit skies. We shot this on three Epic Dragons, 5K, 5:1 to 9:1(frame rate) with Canon EF lenses. I've shot this same scenario countless times in the past an never...

Seeing that 6.5K is about the same as "old school" Super 35 and Dragon 5KHD (thanks Phil). After doing some frame rate testing with the Epic-W, I see that at 6.5K, 2:1 The Epic-W will do 39.54 FPS. It would be awesome to get that last little bit and squeeze out 39.96 (40 FPS). Possible?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a good zoom with 50mm range for gimbal work. I'm using 18-35 Sigma and love it. I need something a little longer. Needs to cover 6K HD on the Dragon, be minimum 2.8, good performance, and not telescope. Any recommends?
I'm trying to make this call and it's come down to wether the 12 megapixel stills on the A7S2 is sufficient for a 4K finish. I don't do any print work and only use the stills for scouting and time lapse for my shoots. I just don't want to have to use another camera to get time lapse done...
SOLD____For sale is a Letus Helix (aluminum) with the 4th Axis system, for 3,500.00
Those who know this system know the advantages of this design over movi/ronin type gimbals. Two advantages is ease of controlling the tilt axis and the intuitive positioning of it between your hands (the same...
On the rare occasion it's necessary to clean the sensor, I've been using the full frame sensor cleaning swabs which came with my Arctic Butterfly kit. I have to use a scissor to trim them to fit the Dragon sensor in order to make one clean swipe, so there's no cleaning lines. Is there a swab...

Hi,
I need to rent the monitor for a shoot 5/23-5/27. I've had to split up my package to accommodate another client and would love to have a 9" Touch for my shoot. Also would go with the new 7" Touch. A certificate of insurance is no problem.

I've a got shoot upcoming and the producer owns a set of Zeiss Variable Primes that he'd like me to use on a project which will be shot in 5K. These being older super 35mm lenses how do they resolve and cover 5K? I own a set of Zeiss Super Speeds and love the way they perform and 5K and even...
Issue Resolved.......Thanks for the help!
On a recent project the client would like to use a clip we shot at 6K 2:1 turned on it's side on a 1920x1080 monitor turned sideways (1080x1920). Problem is the entire image needs to be lower half. The shot is a lock off with some movement in the BG.

While on a shoot in Budapest last spring I was introduced to a great RCU (Semote) which will work with Red (Epic & Weapon) and Alexa. The manufacturer claimed the unit works between 100'-300' depending on line of sight.
Last month we had a camera on an Ultimate Arm and needed remote camera...
Usually when doing shoots in other cities I FedEx gear ahead of time, no issues. But next week I'm heading to the Caribbean and for temporary import purposes I'm going to travel with all the gear. Reading the TSA restrictions it seems it's illegal to check even 95 watt AB HC's. I am wanting...
I'm needing to use a loaner MX to shoot along side my Dragon on a shoot this week. It'll be mainly office and factory interiors with a few day exteriors mixed in. Any specific tips on keeping both cameras looking as close to one another as possible, I'm mainly concerned with skin tones. Or...
Hi everyone,
Yesterday, I (actually a client) discovered strange red dots in our footage. I've posted a dropbox link with an R3D which shows the issue. There's two places (red dots) which can be seen when you blow up the footage to 200%, although the editor saw it without enlarging. One is...
Hi everyone,
What is the difference in the final look for broadcast as far as aspect ratio on a 16x9 TV. Will Anamorphic be "skinnier" then widescreen? If the two aspects are the same on TV then what's the advantage to shooting Anamorphic lenses? Thanks, as always for any insights.
