Picture of a Weapon

[Jeff Kilgroe]

The pyro in me is loving his fiery concoction. LOL about the comment on FB about it being close to mercury cyanide. Well, at least he didn't breathe in too deeply and lived to post it.

Yeah looks like a standard M3 screw thread.

Ah yes, I see the helicoil.

 

[Bob Gundu]

Ha ha. I like how the video is tagged for "Mature" audience.

Cleaned up the thread a bit.. went way off topic.

Instead of having a heated Chevy vs. Ford fist fight lets just start stuff on fire to get the anger out.. Worked for me.

 

[Thommes Ulfeng]

To quote Napoleon: "The fire is everything, the rest is nothing." ... which leads me to "humbly" ask Mr Chief to spill the beans!

Edit: That should fit well into Jim's "we are at war" phraseology.

Where is this video?

Has no one commented that the mount, because you can see light underneath it, might actually be recessed into the dragon body? Maybe that was done for effect to get the smoke coming out from under it, but if it's not then it's a recessed mount.

The plot thickens.

 

[Justin Chin]

Yeah, that's interesting. The mount looks like it's lifted which could mean that you could increase the image size of a standard PL lens.

The plot thickens indeed.

 

[Matt Ryan]

Are you guys even sure it's a standard PL mount? Could it be an xPL like the 65mm sized Alexa mount?

 

[Justin Chin]

Not sure, Matt. Could it be a mount for xPL lenses? Quite possibly if that is an increase in flange distance we're seeing. OR something else...?

its not a standart one..New one for sure

 

[Antony Newman]

I guess the outer circumference of this new mount is ~50% greater than the existing TI PL mount.

[based on there being (new) 12 raised bumps in the patterning vs 8 (old) on the outer collar]

Errrrrr .... 9k?

[Adam Johnson]

Thanks Matt!

Looks like a BIG mount...me thinks medium format

Wow. 50%? I don't see that. My collar has 10 "bumps" and if I hold it up against the video I can see the same scale. It looks like it's the same size plate and mounting points.

 

[Antony Newman]

Doh ... Maybe I should have found better images to compare against.

[Justin Chin]

I do think we are looking at a new mount, so the speculation is probably in the right direction. Perhaps the fire suggests widening the inner porthole?

 

[Adam Johnson]

I think the fire simply means Dragon sensor breathing more fire

 

[Christoffer Glans]

Don't think I got an answer to my question when I asked if it's possible to do a camera with a 65mm AND a 35mm mode.
If you could have a 8-12K sensor at 65mm and then crop to get 6K 35mm you should technically be able to change the mount to either do 65mm or 35mm footage.

Please tell me I got this right! (free Red Weapon upgrade for me!! :w00t: )

It wouldn't be any different to how we have windowed sensor sizes now. So that seems very probable...
