Kindly let me know your price and location, much appreciated! Thx & cheers!

(May need to ship to either Hong Kong or Canada)

The microphone will be mounted on the camera rig/cage above the camera and plugged either directly into the camera or into a fiio pre-amp then the camera body. I am really hoping to avoid latency issues, so please keep that in mind. I am seeking microphone and cable suggestions as well as your preferred options for that setup.

Options:

1. Microphone plugged into Camera
2. Microphone plugged into Pre-amp then camera.
3. External recorder (Zoom H1/Tascam DR-05) used as a line pass through.
4. Your ideas.

Many people following this thread - http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/1937/finding-face-exposure-on-gh2#Item_51 - have heard me talk about the 4 stop (technically 5-stop) "Target Range" (or Target Zone) for DSLRs in which you should expose your scene to get clean images that grade exceptionally well with plenty of detail in the blacks and highlights.

But I've received so many questions about what exactly I mean by "the zone system" that I put this video together to demonstrate what I mean and why.

While I only touch very briefly on the actual Ansel Adams Zone System, which is way more complicated than explained herein, if you light and expose your scene using this "zone" technique, you'll never worry about macro-blocking, noisy blacks, or blown out highlights again.

...And you'll be able to grade the living hell out of the footage.

Thanks!!

here are just some of the first DSLR movies i made with a Canon 7D and a DIY-Focuslever (HoseClamp+Screw) - for anyone who has to kill some time or likes DOF... Looking forward to take some shots on a proper rig ;> solong...

best regards

Some time ago I've been thinking that one day they will see cameras with dreamy benefits available to our pockets and BMC has taken the first big step.

After impact caused by Pocket Camera at NAB seems as if all DSLR cameras literally stay in the past, the film market and videographic intermediate, semi-pro and professional low budget now has a gear of very low cost, then I wonder how that argument would have for example someone who wants today to buy a 5D MKIII about U$3000 for videos and films when for a third of the cost you have a body that offers RAW with 13 EVF of DR. Who less would suffer possibly are cameras under US$1,000 where the user amateur looking a camera for photo and with video to record the dog pacing on the garden, the family eating BBQ, an afternoon at the beach or something without more pretense, but I dont know if that market segment is sufficient for these traditional manufacturers.

I assume that traditional manufacturers must have a headache because they did not expect this movement. Anybody what will buy a camera for video a film low cost will prefer a DSLR digital -regardless the record format- to a camera to record in RAW?

BMC's movement beneficent the market because it will be forced to Sony, Panasonic, Canon and Nikon to compete with similar or better gear features, that or leave the market for inematographers and filmakers low budget because they havent argument to compete equal now.

PS, sorry for my poor english.

I used this when I had my Gh2, but have moved to a Canon C100 these days, so don't have much of a need for it. I am tempted to keep it and feed the signal into the c100 when recording audio, but i would rather have the cash free. The preamps on this are definitely better than the c100 ones.

I am selling for $785+15 shipping to CONUS/Canada. I can ship international, but please contact me beforehand so I can get a quote of how much shipping would be.

There is a fair amount of wear on the unit, the finish seems to chip fairly easily, but it is made out of a really solid metal type finish, not plastic like a zoom h4n, so this thing can take a serious beating and never flinch.

Everything is fully functional, and works like a charm. Here are some pictures of the unit:

EDIT: Also, I have 100% ratings on eBay you can find my feedback at mattrobertson7

I just started my second grading contest which you can read more about on this link: http://davidhjlindberg.blogspot.se/2013/02/grading-contest-windy-winter.html

User reviews say "no slip & very easy to install and use"

I try to find a good solution for sound in my 5D, just for some normal interview( could be in the studio and any place clients are). Before I used HDV to get some sound, 5Dget image, and sync in post with pluraleyes. But I found a lot people do get better solution. Now I try to learn it.

So what I'm trying to do is just get the quality sound directly into my 5D2, without post work with pluraleyes. My buddies are: TASCAM DR-100, SONY UWP-V1(Radio mic)，Audio Technica AT897, also got Rode NTG-1(but this one no AA power supply). 5D2(hacked with Magic Lantern 2.3)

First, I try sony radio mic directly plugin to 5D, it's reasonable sound for event interview stuff, but definite not really good quality, as 5D doesn't have good sound handling ability( I guess).

Then I get this TASCAM thing.(A lot people use H4n, i guess similar thing). Tascam has 2 XLR input, So I use sony radio mic and AT897 (both powered by themselves). My tascam get decent sound these two mic. I used tascam's 3.5 line output, send the sound to 5D's 3.5 mic input. monitor the 5D's sound through AV mount. (wiki ML says we will need a RCA-3.5 adapter, i didn't see that before so i just plugin my 3.5 headphone in to that AV end, it works, I did get the sound there, amazing! ) It worked for a while but I don't when it suddenly just can only get one track, only left channel, there is no infos came into right channel. No matter what i try on all the settings in the ML menu, I can't get that right channel back...

Can anyone help me figure this out?

Have a nice weekend for everybody on this forum! ;)

I'm looking for a sturdy and somewhat weighted shoulder rig with versatility in regards to being attached and removed quickly from a tripod and room for attaching other accessories such as a follow focus, on-board monitor and perhaps hdmi splitter or maybe a microphone on an articulating arm.

I've worked with Jag-35 and I'm almost tempted to get a field runner they have for almost $500 but maybe there's something better I can work with that is more sturdy and reliable.

I'm asking $400 for everything. I'll ship here in the U.S. at no charge but overseas I'd have to have that covered by the buyer. Seems these are still retailing for $500, so I feel this is a good deal.

7D for closeups. 550D with magic lantern for offtopic shots.

im okay with the first test. eyemacro coming in parttwo.

its pretty much fun. try it for yourself.

have a damn great day, don

Thanks! Magnus

just wanted to share the little clip of the first footage i have taken with my brandnew MKIII. It was a big loss and bigger win (for me). Footage is graded in AfterEffects and sharpened by a value of about 18. I had one batterie. Next time i wont again.

Let me know what you think of the footage. sure its not raw, but i wanted to see how bendy the footage is.

Wanna shoot really serious video of the sidewalk on your DSLR, but can't get along with those dicey standard controls? Then maybe VizTools has a solution -- or at least a working prototype it's readying for NAB. The HandiZoom can be operated with only one hand and does motorized zoom with adjustable speed settings, as well as various other primary controls. It hooks up to compatible Canon DSLRs using USB and a rail system, with the aim of making the camera feel more like a traditional news shooter. Check out the video after the break, and then maybe throw down a few more pennies to pair it with one of these.

Any experience with this cheapo model ?

Thanks for your inputs.
