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 don't know anything about a direct option to charge your batteries from solar panels. However, I have a 2kw Ecoflow battery that accepts solar panel inputs, and I then use that 2kw battery to charge smaller batteries or power lights (from regular Edison plug chargers). It does have USB outputs...
I love the idea of this as an ultra portable Red B-cam with some of the conveniences of the Sony cameras, such as strong autofocus performance (if that bears out) and easy sound recording via accessory interface. I could see it going on a gimbal (with easier balance and potentially no need for...
Knock on wood, but I also haven’t suffered a failure from Angelbird cards. Nor Prograde.
That said, I’ve never bought refurbished cards for professional purposes. Not saying there’s any reason for specific concern, but if the risk is even slightly higher, I can’t imagine it would be worth it...
I agree with the comments here, in particular getting more cards. I found 2TB of media (2x512GB, 1x1TB) became my minimum for a day of shooting interviews-- and that's never been 10 interviews!
The other thing I'd say with the Komodo is that I really like using a behind-the-lens drop-in filter...
Hello Peter, welcome to the board! Please note that the rule is that you must post a price with any item for sale. You can search past listings if you want to gather information on what price to set (as well as other sources like ebay of course). Good luck with the sale!
I think the question is not whether these lenses are being used-- they all are. I think the question is by whom-- what group/production sector is using them?
You mention rehousing, and I'm not sure how that connects exactly.
I think you'll find plenty of indie films and larger feature...
There's always some risk involved in buying any camera or electronic device. There are many discussions of "how many hours for camera X is too much?" online, so you'll just have to decide what your risk tolerance is.
For me, I don't think 745 hours is a huge number-- it means it received very...
Congrats on your new camera!
Is this the class—at Abel in August?

I think it looks like a good class. And if you learn well in a hands-on environment, then I think it’ll serve you well.
If you’re not sure, look over...
I’m also a big fan of the Mutiny I/O. This stripped down “wedge” version looks good, though I’d miss one of my favorite features: the big tactile run/stop button on the top of the battery plate.
Haven’t tried the Core plate but you’ll probably get some opinions if you search (or post about it...
Aputure 300D mkII (v-mount version) in excellent condition with all original accessories plus the 2x fresnel plus barn doors. It's a great light, and used fairly lightly.
Looking for $475. Located in New York City, prefer in person transaction for now. I'll update with photos shortly. Let me...
Are you familiar with the “traffic light” indicators? Info on this and other exposure tools here:

I also like to enable the Gioscope tool on my top screen (while monitoring on an external monitor).
That should cover achieving proper...
No, I don’t find the 7” too big most of the time. My Komodo is usually on a tripod. And I also usually like my images to be in focus. ;-)
The 5” I originally bought for times when I want a stripped down less conspicuous kit, e.g. I’m filming in a public place or packing into a shoulder bag...
This set appeals to me, I’d love to give it a try. It’s not that I need t1.3– it’s that I just don’t love the image from the Sigma cine t1.5 series, much as I admire their technical capabilities. I often prefer vintage lenses, or choose Cooke if the desired look is more crisp and “modern.”
I’m...
I have the SmallHD Cine 5 and think it's a pretty good fit with the Komodo. (I also own the Indie 7", and though it's less bright, it works well for my purposes.)
