Some folk may recall my skewed adventure from times past when I bid on a 1.2K HMI which turned out to be a 12K HMI. I did not have much of a technical understanding of what I was dealing with at the time but it all turned out allright in the end. It was a bit of a struggle and grunt picking it...

If you are fond of aeroplanes, here's a bit of vision of a recent event at Perth's Langley Park. Perth is the capital city of Western Australia and Langley Park was the airport from which commercial airline operations first commenced, pioneered by Sir Norman Brierley. Perth City would likely...

Whilst this is not RED origination there may be those among yo who can enjoy this little clip which is a light-hearted p---take of the anamorphic lens afficianados. I have no connection with the production of this clip.

I am not familiar enough with the RED camera family to know how the focus assist is set up. However, if it is similar to the SI2K with a small magnifying window within the image frame, then the following may be of some use, likely a trick already devised by RED users. USING FOCUS WINDOW AS A...

Firstly, off the bat, this is not a RED specific issue but might influence the future care you take of your OLED viewfinders of whatever flavour. Two P+S Technik OLED electronic viewfinders specific to the SI2K camera system have developed an identical fault within a similar timeframe. The SI2K...

There's a local filmie from my hometown who is in Dubai and has a few quiet days to fill enquiring for contacts. Are there any industry people there ??

For curiosity sake here's what an offset feed satellite TV dish and lapel mike can do. I don't know the cool trick to make the forum embed the clip frame in the message box so you'll have to copy and paste into your address bar or click the link which should take you to the clip...

I don't know when this movie will find its way to your respective foreign shores. It is a good feelgood yarn and family-safe. Interestingly, it has likely started off a kid's craze for making ---- paper planes. "The best of it is young folk doing stuff requiring precise hand-eye co-ordination...

Crying in my cups time. I loaded the SI2K camera in the car a few weeks back with the OLED viewfinder fitted. It was facing inside the car so that no sun was likely to shine on it. I came back with the last load of stuff and found the opposite rearview mirror and the sun had formed a perfect...

This unit takes the form of a grip and enclosure for a PCB control board and motor/gear drives. One of the lenses does not operate. From the unit there eminates a faint sour burned cork smell reminiscent of burned out components. I have had a good web search and not been able to find any...

Am not sure if I should have put this here or in third party "for sale". For information of those who might be interested. http://www.pstechnik.de/shop/winter-sale/

I received an email from P+S Technik which advises of a new accessory for their Skater dolly. It is a small articulated arm like an anglepoise, which fastens to their existing camera base or tripod head attach point. From the diagram it appears that it does not do independent dynamic vertical...

Likely most Western Australian Red owner-operators will know of an ACS masterclass happening in Perth next Tuesday Oct 28. I am not currently associated with the ACS but I was asked if I knew of any such lenses here in the West, that might be available if requested for the masterclass. If...

Whilst not a topic much known in the rest of the world, the event around which this film story evolves was as significant for Australia as the John F. Kennedy assassination was for the United States. It was the disappearance of serving Australian Prime Minister, Harold E. Holt. As with the...

This is a fairly scarce one. I have a broken specimen missing one internal doublet. It had been serviced in SE Asia - badly repaired with UV optical cement joints full of halfmoons, foggy bonds and subsequently assessed as uneconomic to repair in Australia. That is how I ended up with it...

Does anyone know if Premiere Pro CS6 can still be paid for, installed and registered as an upgrade from CS5 or is that horse a long gonner? The Adobe site is all cryptic worse than it used to be. I simply cannot find a page which says CS6 and talks about dollars to be paid. I am not the sharpest...

This last few days I have been making an IMS-Mount for a Speedbooster purposed for the Blackmagic Pocket camera. It is possible "just" due to the IMS-Mount flange to focal plane distance being 19mm and the MFT-Mount used by the Blackmagic cam being 19.25mm. I had a notion that it would be handy...

Given that it seems red users are both familiar with video cards and Resolve at their hottest and fastest, I am here to seek your good counsel. At long last, I have scratched a few coins together and fiished assembling another editing computer after age and attitrition took the last one down...

I have a Titan charger/power supply which I use on a SI2K camera-recorder. I bought it off eBay 4 years back at a very good price. It was fine then and remains so. I have been a little concerned at the heat build-up in this and Tandem 70 I bought about a year ago on the assumption that good...

Any Aussies, or anyone else for that matter, maybe pay a visit to this indiegogo project. The anchor, Hannah Brunton, directed and edited a non-smoking commercial at our local high school, now community college. It was a winning entry to the "Smarter Than Smoking" contest and screened at the...
