What is a hassy?

Had the pleasure of shooting with a scarlet today. DPed a short. Not my camera.

The camera had only a LCD screen and a Brick battery. The Side handle had not arrived, and the there was no BOMB EVF. It's a bit clunky in that configuration but it worked, smoothly and reliably despite the cold.

Things i like: (obviously the image is amazing...)
1: The size was amazing. Especially capturing 4k RAW in 16bit. even in the smallest form you can still capture maximum quality. Awesome.
2: The Ti PL mount is simply a work of art.
3: location of run stop buttons. EXACTLY where you think they will be. Blind and having picked up the camera for the first time....
4: The LCD image is quite nice to looks at, and the lay out of the menus is cool.

Things i Dont like:
1: When you hold it like a Hassy, a jet of hot air goes up your nose from the heat sink. Annoying.
2: without a side handle, its practically impossible to have a secure grip on it. (the Side handle should be mandatory and come with the camera)

Thats about it....

What is a hassy?

I'm guessing a nickname for a Hasselblad

 

[John Desay]

Hasselblad....

That's also what I guessed but I couldn't be sure. As a courtesy to everyone here, I won't make up and use cute little names for things so we don't waste forum space trying to figure it out.

Love Wooden Camera! I do wish the leather top handle were SWAT mountable though. I RED top handle is painful to hold IMO.

I'm guessing some of you have never had the pleasure of shooting with a medium format camera.

Mitch- how stable is your LCD in this config? Seems that with only one mounting point it'd be likely to swivel and loosen. I'm intrigued, as the V-Mount/Top Handle/5" Touch combo seems to be a tricky one!

Hey mate...thanks for sharing. Whats that mount, that Brooks AB plate? Whats your thoughts on that...I am looking into some power options.

Timur has already made a few hacks to his Scarlet and it can now record directly to audio cassettes.

 

[Andrew Gentle]

I really like your setup, Mitch. Does anybody know if the Wooden Camera Easy Plate would let you mount the LCD at the front through both holes and the Wooden Camera top handle behind it?

 

[Enrique Blein]

Hello Mitch, I like your configuration. I can't tell by looking at the picture how you managed to secure the LCD touchscreen...can you give a hint?

 

[TonySegreto]

The Viewfactor sidearm is also pretty good to hold on to, plus it adds mounting options.

Yea, its a brook VF plate. Its nice. Pprobably gonna get one of those.

I too need to figure out a power system.

I don't think there's enough room for what you're talking about. And DEFINITELY the top handle would hit the back battery if it was back any further. Right now I have the handle the furthest forward it can be on the easy stick.

Someone else asked if the LCD screen is loose and swivels with just one screw. Not at all, it's rock solid actually.

lollers =)

Actually..... I shoot the scarlet LCD screen with a pixelvision p9000. That's how all the RAWs get in the cassette....

Yes, it will work. That is how I usually have things setup with my Scarlet right now.

You would have more room on that plate if you turn the base of that LCD 180 degrees wouldn't you?

Thats what I was thinking too, can't you mount the LCD base reverse so it gets further forward? or is the standard cable too short? does the handle mounted like this clear a V-lock battery when attached to its back?

so many options not sure what to order for a best quick config...
