Coastal wildlife frames

[Steve Gibby]

That's the view from your house? Forget RED, I want your House!

Nah, my house is right by the beach, but down the coast a few miles from where I shot that footage. I live halfway between L.A. and the Bay Area where the air is clean, the crowds are low, surrounded by a couple hundred miles of beautiful coastline, oak covered mountains, wilderness areas, lakes, and vineyards. It's as different from L.A. as night and day - and yet I can drive to L.A. in less than 3 hours, which I do a few times every week for work or to fly out to somewhere.

Life (and production life) is what you make of it...I'm happy with my chosen lifestyle...the best of both worlds!

Hey Gibby,

Saw this FF while poking around for carbon fibre rods. Looks like they tried to make it as lght as possible and still maintain mechanical integrity. The part that caught my eye in the description was that the backlash in the drive train is adjustable. A nice touch.

You'll love that pack for your Colorado hike-in shooting. It's comfortable, well made, and holds a ton of stuff - with the added benefit that it is airline carry-on legal. For only $199 + tax, I consider it a bargain - and no I'm not a sales rep for Tamrac, I just call it as I see it![/QUOTE]

The Tamracs are great; I've been using the 5578 for several years for my 8x10 camera it has held up very well. I'll definately get another for red kit. it is only slightly bigger than the 5258 so I have never had a problem with the carry on police but you never know. BH price on the 5258 is only $169.
Aloha

Yeah, Poi that 5578 looks sweet. I may have gone for the 5577 or 5578 but I wanted one that had a compartment for a laptop, plus I was worried about the airlines restricting me from bringing it on board. If you've had no problems with the airlines, then the 5578 would definitely be a good option. I've had a couple Tamrac backpacks over the past few years, and really liked them. This 5258 sits really comfortably on my back. I'm sure the 5577 and 5578 would too.

All of these lifestyle choices have prolonged my ability to get out into the bush/boonies/wilderness and live the lifestyle I love

Gibby, are you sure all of your reduser posting and forum checking isn't detrimentally affecting this... I know Red has been bad for my fitness

Either that or Gibby writes posts from a treadmill and with voice recognition as he hikes...

Yeah, 43mm ND filters are very affordable. I bought several of them and put them into a filter pouch that goes in the kit for using the 300mm for remote hike-in shooting.

Hi Steve,

Missed a few days here, I was in Oklahoma shooting a couple of interviews and footage on the Caddo Indians as part of a new museum installation on the Indian tribes that were indigenous to Arkansas. We had a great time, they are a beautiful, caring and strong people. I wish you could have been there... though in the back of my mind I was thinking about a mobile solution for my RED gear... and of course you deliver. Thanks Steve for the serious breakdown on the backpack and how you have it configured. Also, your jpgs were great, I am so stoked that I cannot wait to see your footage when you have time arrange it.

LOL...I'm just really organized with my time. But I haven't yet perfected the fine art of on-treadmill posting with an internet-capable mobile phone! That's next...

Sounds like an interesting museum piece Andrew....something really meaningful. I spent some time last year shooting on the Navajo and White Mountain Apache reservations. It was amazing for sure...love that stuff...

Thanks for the kind words on the pics...footage sometime when I can get the time.

Just a quick note... "I am so stoked that I cannot wait to see your footage when you have time arrange it." LOL, that very last part sounded like an edict from on highinch: ... this what I meant "I am so stoked that I cannot wait to see your footage when you have time to arrange it." Much different intent IMO, I know you are slammed with work, but love your thoughful and inciteful posts. Your are a shooter's shooter... and you are trailblazing a future that will soon be mine... but you and many here are ramping my development to being months ahead of the game before #557 is in my hands. Incredible.

Cheers-- Andrew

Awesome, Gibby, thanks for sharing.

From the dedication you've been putting in giving us info and learning the max about this cam, I can see your lifestile is absolutely well deserved. Keep posting 'cause we'll keep lovin' it!

Cheers,

J.

Looks like Los Osos to me.

Used to be my home away from home when I was producing for VAS Entertainment.

You're a lucky man to live in that neck of the woods! Of course, I can't complain about Utah, the Wasatch front, and the fact that Moab and Zion's are each about 3 hours away!

Can't wait to be posting my own nature pics in few months.

Thanks for all the insight, we'll be doing the same all over Mexico pretty soon!

The best,

Knowing Gibby it is a matter of minutes to prep since he's been doing this since before I knew where the on button was let alone how to say it.

The cool thing about setting up RED that impressed me is that it is so fast I wondered if I had missed anything. Shooting #13 on Hollywood Blvd I kept asking Billy, "Did we get that?"

BTW- I have seen the RED footage Gibby shot and it is spectacular!

The stills look amazing, I can only imagine what the moving footage looks like like!

Thanks!
