What do people think about using this as a field monitor? I don't need its recording capabilities, but it has some features that nobody else seems to have. In particular it is a 1920x1200 screen and accepts 4K input. One can then do a 2:1 zoom and pan around at the pixel level using the touch...

I currently use a 27" 2560x1440 display. I went to see the 5K iMAC and I brought some stills to view on it. They had it side-by-side with the 2560x1440 version. To be honest I wasn't as blown away by the difference as I thought that I would be. Yes it looks better and in particular text in...

I have been working on some LED lights for awhile. This is the closest I am to matching tungsten for skin tones with doing nothing other than white balancing in Lightroom. One side is tungsten and the other is LED. What do you think before I reveal the results? I'm sure more color correction...

Hello, Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I have seen other colorist talk here. I'm curious as to what the job market is like for a professional colorist using resolve and eventually broader post production? This question is for an artist friend of mine who is looking to expand their...

I am selling my SkyLux LED lamp that has very low hours on it. It has just been used occasionally for personal use and has not been taken outside of my home. This model has much better color reproduction compared to units such as the Alzo. In particular it does not have a green cast after white...

I have been working on some DIY LED lights. Here is my first test compared against a fairly expensive commercial light. Before I expose which is which, what do you think in comparison? The exposure and color temperature are not identical between them so it was a little tricky getting them to...

Is anybody using these drives? They are really dropping in price. Close to $210 for an enterprise 4TB drive is very tempting. I know that they are a few years old and probably being replaced by a more expensive 7K6000 series.

I'm doing some comparisons between 100 CRI incandescent bulbs and various LEDs. Right now I'm just shooting my bar with various bottle colors and a human in the frame for skin tones :) I'm sure there is a more comprehensive test subject! What would people like to see? Fruit? Flowers? Test...

Hello! I am trying to decide between the TV Logic 5.5" 1080p screen and the Marshall Electronics 7" screen. I'm thinking that the 7" screen will be nicer for pulling focus on, but it's hard to tell how much better it would be. Any thoughts out there? 7" screen has about 50% more surface area...

I'm looking for a secure place to store LTO tapes. In particular I want to protect against earthquake. Unfortunately earthquake means fire and/or flooding due to broken pipes. I have found fire safe options out there but nothing that is also water tight. Beyond putting each tape in a...

I'm in need of some more output. Right now I have a single Skylux LED. I'm looking for 1-2 more stops. I can do this by adding more Skylux, or I can move to another system. I love the Hexolux lights, but right now they are not much brighter than the Skylux per unit. I heard something about...

Depending on the price, the 10TB drive might be nice for on-site backup. LTO can then be used for offsite: http://www.storagereview.com/hgst_announces_first_10tb_data_centerclass_hdd The 2nd version of the He drives are out now in 6TB and 8TB...

Has anybody tried out the various heads from MYT Works? They are intriguing, but I haven't found much info or reports about them.

I'm looking for some R3D files that demonstrate the high dynamic range capabilities of the Dragon. Maybe I'm not searching in the right place but I haven't found any...

My glossy 2560x1440 display died recently and I have been using a Dell 2410 as a backup. The glossy display allowed me to see everything in total clarity. The AG coating on the Dell just gives everything a fixed pattern look that I can't stand. It's hard to see what is noise and what is...

Hello, I am a Blackmagic user that is considering the move to a Red system. I have been spending a lot of time here because the group is professional, I am learning a lot, and the gear is fantastic. I'm wondering if there is somebody in the Seattle area who would be interested in spending a...

Are there any Areca users here? How have your experiences been? I'm considering the 1883ix, although I don't know how soon it will be out.

My 2560x1440 monitor just died and I'm using my 1920x1200 backup that has horrible anti-glare coating (Dell 2410). So I'm in the market for a new monitor. I have been holding out for a 4k but it seems like a bunch are right on the horizon. My monitor needs a cable about 15' long. Longer...

(note I'm not here to discuss 23.976 vs 24 fps, etc) I have been filming my baby girl since she was born (about 5 months ago) in 4K at 24fps. The goal is to make montage style movies about her as she grows up. This will be for me, my family, and my online portfolio. No output to film or...

I'm starting to get a pile here in my locked cabinet. I'm thinking for a fire safe or something designed specifically for LTO tapes themselves. How are people safely storing theirs?
