Hi Guys,
here's my SCARLET-X 1300 "Arachno" - "Lightweight" KIT, with Manfrotto Pro VII Backpack and a pair of BLUESHAPE 140 (VMount).

Italian Style, baby!

Isn't it amazing that you can now shoot a film out of a back pack?!?!?! Nice setup :)
 
Yes, it's incredile! ...
Obviously, I have another bag with a Macbook Pro, 4 firewire HD, other lenses, etc... But, still better than a truck!

 
So Luca, your now officially the Spiderman! Looks great. The partial red manfrotto bag really suits it well! Yeah, baby! Nice choice!
 
Congrats, Luca !

Love lightweight kits. :-) Will you have the sidehandle ?
 
Thanks guys,
Hi Stefan, yes I'm still waiting the sidehandle (backorder).
I will test the Scarlet-X this weekend (and post some .r3d soon)... cheers

Well, half of a film in any case (I didn't see a Production Mixer in there). And, could it really be Italian style without some good food? Put a prosciutto in there.

The food is in a secret pocket ... for the mixer, the lights and WINE ... there is my crew!
 
Luca, after talking to Manfrotto distribution we´ve just ordered the 509HD/536K combo today. We already own the 504 head for DSLR and I think it´s a good price/performance.

Cheers, Ulf

love the idea of turning the screen sideways!!!

It's just because I'm lazy! (And frankly I don't like to plug and unplug cables 2 or more times per day - especially the fragile LCD /EVF connector - )
But I would buy the swat rail, with sliding top handle or the swat rail clamp bolt on).

Hi Guys,
I would change my tripod.
I like this:

Anyone tried it?
Or other products to suggest (in this € range please!)

Thanks,

Congratulations Luca! Nice to see another Scarlet-X in northern Italy :D. As for the Manfrotto 509HD, I can't recommend it enough. It's nothing like the old Manfrotto heads, a huge leap forward (I'd say it's as good, or in some cases better than a lot of heads costing 5x times more), you won't be disappointed. I personally use the 509HD + 545GB combo.
 
Hi Riccardo,
Can you recommend an alternative?
And this? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/740392-REG/Cartoni_F126_F126_FocusHD_System.html

For me, an alternative, albeit more expensive, would be the Miller Compass 25 or the even more expensive Cartoni Delta Rosso. These two were my first choices, but then I tested the 509 and I was so impressed with it, and considering the price (600,00 euros inc. vat), I ordered one straight away. As for the sticks, since you're building a backpack system, you should really check the Manfrotto 536 carbon, you'll find some information in Phil Holland's post http://www.reduser.net/forum/showth...ot-Skully-quot&p=954112&viewfull=1#post954112
 
I'll let you know if I come by, last time I got from Piran to Verona in 2 hours (by car). Or if you want to visit Istria let me know.
