Canon Ti Mount arrived yesterday

[Jarek Zabczynski]

Why in the world does Canon make those telephoto lenses WHITE..everything else here is black..?

So they don't get hot in the sun since they are usually used outside.

Michael, can you please link me to what you are using to attach the red brick on the back of the camera? I have the FMJ top plate, would that work with it?

 

[BigLu]

Thats a wonderful picture of equipment.

 

[Michael Kromschroeder]

Hi Charlie, I used
the RED Backpack http://www.red.com/store/rail-components/product/epic-backpack-m
+ the Quick Plate http://www.red.com/store/rail-components/product/backpack-quickplate-m
and mouned the Bebob ML-120 to it http://www.bebob.de/produkte/?product=6608

 

[Charlie_Grinnell]

Thanks for the reply, I thought that's what it was. I am currently backordered on those parts, still waiting...

 

[Petri Teittinen]

That is... beautiful.

Russ,
that's "german engineering in da house"! The Skater Dolly from P+S Technik and its remote (attachable servos, so you've got speed control and programmable moves). In fact, the Skater Dolly is a tool from the old days (invented when "red" was just the color of the trafficlights, 35mm cameras were the only real cameras and the PALM iphone of these days; was it 2003 or 2004?) - but a keeper! Nice small dolly for various situations. Just bring a board and you have your dolly track.

Hi Russ, see what kind of shots I do with it.
The cigarr shot is a good example: watch 00:51

 

[Ketch Rossi]

Nice work Michael...

 

[Craig Weeding]

The lens are white because so many users are sports photographers shooting outside in the sun, the White color makes a huge difference in how much lens heats up under direct sunlight.

go outside on a sunny day with a white shirt and then change to a black shirt you will feel the difference.

Carmen Hunter, Eric Prey, HA! Funny names.

 

[John Bannister]

That pic made me drool!

Lol. That was great.

 

[Adam Beck]

Michael that was great. The shot before the cigar is nice as well.

 

[Mike Van Laanen]

Nice camera package Michael. I am also looking for a Canon setup and your pick is a great help, thanks. One question, what are the two white towers under the SSD readers? I am looking for a good offload/copy raid for my package. Thanks in advance.

 

[Michael Kromschroeder]

Hi Mike, that are the Promise R4 Thunderbolt 8GB Raid 5 arrays.

 

[Mike Van Laanen]

Thanks Michael. They work good for you - realiable?

 

[Nicholas Donnelly]

Curious how you're mounting your O-grips? Is that a custom mod?
Thanks

Hey Michael was good to meet you at IBC.

For those who are interested here is a little update that Ted did with us @ IBC 2011. It includes some footage of him using the new Canon EF mount on the Epic.
