    FS PRO I/O + MODULE ADAPTOR

    Selling these as we move on to the + 1 module and are not using the pro I/O that often. As new both of them. Only sign of use is the missing rubber flap for the EVF connection on the PRO I/O. that came of like day one, and I do not think its a super important part of the gear as all other...

    Let's talk External Epic / Scarlet Triggering.

    I figured I start this thread to get a better understanding on the subject. We did some camera tests today for a upcoming shoot (starting the 19th of april) where we plan to use the external frame trigger trough out the shoot. It's basically a 60 second long vari speed moco take going back and...

    Epic underslung.

    While rigging up today the epic got me thinking... It was not to long ago we used a revolution lens system (comes at the cost of about 3 epics) together with our mitchell camera when doing some close to ground miniature shots. Back then it was all quite scary, not knowing how the exposure would...

    Hi Red, This sunday and a week forward I have a DP client, that shoots a lot, he just did his first Hollywood feature etc. Now I talked him into shooting his next job of on epic instead of using a alexa studio with codec recorder (what he normally uses). He came by the office last week and I...

    Commercial shoot with our Hawk-C's

    Sadly this was not shot with our epic, I tried to push it that way, but the production decided to use the Arri Alexa Studio with RAW recorder since they shot half the stuff down in the Malta water tank. And they figured it was easer to rent the Alexa on location and use the same camera for the...

    Question: How fast can epic do time laps with external trigger.

    I have not been able to test my self but as I understand it's possible to trigger the epic with the new firmware on a "frame by frame" basis... I would love to use this feature with our motion control so the MOCO sends a trigger for each frame, We are using flare and we can send a pulse up to...

    Epic, Cats and Hawk-C's at ISO 2500.

    I Did a low light test with the epic with the new beta 4 firmware and our Hawks at home, nothing scientific, just tried to catch the cat's actions in front of the TV couch. All lenses where wide open, used a 360deg shutter and ISO was set to 2500. Amazing to see how little noise there is. At...

    Epic / Scarlet power 24v power solution...

    Though I should share this. We just made this down converter that takes a arri 3 pin xlr 24v feed and turn it to 4 pin 12.5v xlr the black box is perfect "epic backpack size". So the next thing is to figure out how to attach it to the back of the camera. I was thinking of buying the 20USD...

    Need to kill some darlings...

    Our reel is getting 2 years old and to make room for new stuff in a new edit some old stuff needs to go, especially as the edit is far to long as it is all ready. So please if you have the time look trough it trough and post what you think should be chopped away from a VFX point of view. I would...

    Lets make a list and ask vimeo for Higher resolutions.

    If we get together and make a little petition we could probably get vimeo to allow us to host 2k, 3k or maybe even 4k on their site.I would love to be able to up and download big format stuff and HD does not feel all that big any more. We are quite a bunch here that probably would pay a bit...

    Canon 50 1:1.8 test in 5k

    Did a test, came to a conclusion... super cheap 50mm canon lens beats most super expansive cinema lenses I ever tested. Sharp as a tack and beautiful falloff and hardly any edge softness.. this lens weights less than a lens cap, cost is also about the same... Bellow are some samples. shot att...
