Will, they make this great SSD Guards, which I will install on every EPIC camera, since it has happened more then once already that some one has bumped the SSD, and this will protect it, also gives an identity to each camera on set, great thing to have in multiple camera shoots, were you can easily identify each camera by name... ;)

Just send a logo in when ordering the SSD Guard and it is done.

Thanks Perry!!

As for No 8 to be sold, even so you know I love you, even if Gibby was to agree, it would take an act of congress and a seriously crazy High offer for me to sale it... ;)
 
Thanks Ketch for keeping the gear reviews rolling.

The review of the Jib, along with a comprehensive series of other Reviews, including the Camera and camera Gear, Lenses, Gearnex Gearhead, Gitzo tripod, Miller Compass 25 Fluid Head, and a load more, will all be soon on line as we completely revamp the site adding such a section, which I will be keeping up periodically with reviews of any new gear we'll use in our projects.

There is no motorized movement control on the Jib it self, but of course they do sale accessories, to allow full control on a Remote Controlled motorized Head, I will be actually adding some portable Dolly movement to this Jib placing it on a Slider of which also will be posting a review of it.

This purchase has been made in order to have a portable yet solid and complete Crane movements from the compact set up to just under 10' to adding Extensions which are also portable, and get to just under 30', all of which can still be placed on top of the new Slider which has a capacity of over 140LB in Horizontal mode, motorized of course for precision movement.


For the Leica Cine Primes, as Brett said, last I was told by Band Pro Munich, was 2nd Quarter of 2013, now if that could mean April or June is to be seen, but yea, it sure is taking them a while, current wait however is 2 Years for any new orders with a price tag of 143k EURO.



This is the Slider I'm talking about, the Ditogear Omnislider with Servo motor, at 140LB+ Horizontal load capacity and 25LB+ Vertical movement, it will offer some nice choices in camera movement.

I used the Leica C's last week, best lenses I ever used!

I have used it for too short of a time to make my final word on them, but while I love their smaller and lighter form factor, I don't like various aspect of the design, and would it much preferred a design closer to that of the Master Primes, (smaller of course) Double Focus Marling Rings User Flippable, Ergonomics, to also allow friendly Hand Focus pulling, one of the features I love on the Master Primes design, as the Rubberized outer Ring is a genius tough for those of us that are also Solo shooters, but the list on the design goes on, much more on, I'll refrain to give final judgment and full review till I get them and or after the next shoot in which I could possibly be using a set of the Leica Cine primes for a project, which also will help determine final decision if actually go Leica, or stay with Master Primes.


So far also while on paper the Leica seem to be a better Lens, and they should be as the MP's are pretty old design, yet were very futuristically ahead of time when they did came out and still hold strong, in fact so far in design to me, are the absolute best, including Leica, I in fact was surprised that Leica which has done such incredible work on the Noctilux, and the S2 MF glass, would do such an outdated old looking design for their TOP of the line glass, especially so considering their COST.


Good thing is... We'll be announcing a new line of Cine Glass that will blow away anything on the market today, giving a new option that will be a little more in the reach of many and most absolutely with WAY shorter delivery ties form time of ordering, since a new facility will be built to allow for an insane number of set to be produced on a monthly basis.... ;)

He he, that I am definitely sure you do... Best thing is that, it also varies depending on the amount of meds I have taken, and the time I am posting related to the time I have taken them... Some time read something on the net, and it takes me a while to realize I actually wrote it... ;)

So do I... ;)

At this time this Glass is at the very beginning stage, a Specialist Team needs to be assembled, and I'm working on it, some here will be really surprise to find out whom will end up actually designing this with me... As far as expectations? Think Mini Master Primes designed and manufacturer by modern standards, and in a price range form 10k to 15k per lens, with a very short delay once we start production.
