IN-DWELLING FILTER KITS FOR DIGITAL CINEMA CAMERAS.

[Robert Hart]

If a reputable optical filter company was to offer user installable/removable in-dwelling behind-the-lens filters would you want to buy?


A complete kit would comprise :-

Individual filters mounted or clip-in inserts in choices of Clear, ND and IRND of various densities. LC1/8., LC1/4.

Forward offset shim sets for lens mounts and for the lens control conductor pin strips.

Allen keys for the lens mount screws.

Tool for fitting/removing the filters.

Kit box to hold the filters when not in use.


This is a purely hypothetical query. The new Komodo seems to be a good candidate.

I have experimented with a reconstructed broken URSA MINI 4.6K and found it to be doable and useful for keeping the camera as barebones light as it can practically be. I have not studied the throats of Red cameras or the new Komodo so the whole notion might be a foolishness.

I can help with the hypothetical and move it into reality.

For a few months now there are two companies working on this right this second. One is nearly shipping. One system is very forward thinking.

Now there's a go. Imagination doesn't have a chance to go stale it seems.
