I've got this one, and built a 5v cable for it. Works great, very simple and low power draw (0.4a at 5v).

Word has it the boys...well, Chris at Cinetronic has something on the way for his HD monitors as well as other monitors.

I flew the new vest. I'm sure it will come down to preference, but I know I like the my PRO vest and even the Tiffen vests that latched in 3 places. Wearing the new vest, I didn't have any revelation, as though it was something I needed and made all the difference, but some people might? Give it a fly, see for yourself!

Work quality is great, but tell me: what's the trick to get them to return sales calls? Or discuss modifications? Or even visit them to get to inspect one of their very premiumly priced carts?

On a related note, does anyone need a kidney? ... Never drank or smoke...

And you're a Steadicam op??

I guess there won`t be a new, lighter sled coming with the atlas, right?

Jack has really been working hard to respond to operator feedback with the new equipment. I wouldn't be surprised if something appeared soon to complement this new arm.

I know I'll probably keep referring to my arm as the "PRO" arm, and if/when people start asking me for clarification, I'll say "the 4-canister 'Titan' arm capable of lifting over 70lbs".

Will essence of a director who shoots hd but doesn't do 20 minute takes substitute?

... Lifting capacity is on par with G50 with the added bennifit of not seeing your footsteps in the shot

Clocked it at 3 hours, 41 minutes. Solid performance, but not Eric's best. :lol: Of course, he's probably working while I'm catching up on Californication. :blink:

Very nice. Bring it to the Stabilizer Expo in June plz or I'm buying a Basson.

Forget the arm! How much for that potted plant on the safe??? That thing looks killer, and stiction free!

anybody knows where Erwin got his newer "red monster" cart made?

 

 

Thx

I believe he went with A&S Cases to build that cart? They're in North Hollywood on Vineland just north of Magnolia.

What rig did you buy?

In general, I think 20lbs is pretty hefty for a single camera tie-down screw, and you may be placing a camera on that rig that is at the top of the weight range intended for that sled?

Careful Willy... you might be waking up with that llama one morning after NAB in Vegas with that odd taste of fur in your mouth! B)

Yea yea, I've stayed at the Circus Circus before...

I feel left out.....

I sent him your equipment list, home address, hours you were home, locations of your GoPro cameras, etc.

While I'm not formally educated in RF, I spent many years as a competitive Ham Radio operator building large scale antenna arrays and I still hold a more than 25 year world record for the most contacts and most countries worked in a 48 hour period, including bouncing UHF signals off the trails of meteor showers from the 4th call district.

Andrew, you have lots of power options on your cart, you're going to turn into the DIT cart with an iPhone charging station.

My next cart modification will include razor wire and motion-targeting paintball guns for unauthorized personnel... and some Slayer stickers.

Stefan,

Are you going for format conversion as well as input conversion? Like either HD-SDI pass through AND HDMI input to HD-SDI output? I'm not sure if there's a product that does ALL of that and is also portable and compact. Maybe the closest is the Decimator Design MD-DUCC?

I've got one on my sled, primarily for down converting HD-SDI to SD composite video. However, it also changes SD composite video to HD-SDI (for use with my Atomos Samurai) and will also pass out HDMI. The only thing it's missing is HDMI to HD-SDI.

Atomos also makes these connects which are cheaper than the AJA or BlackMagic solutions, but you'd need to buy each unit for HDMI to HD-SDI and HD-SDI to HDMI.

I got the email, and replied not quite as verbosely.

Ooooh, April 20th, sounds like a good day on a calendar?

So...what happened?

Who got drunk and barfed on Jack's dog

Michelle

danced on the equipment tables

Dan Kneece ("Lady Marmalade" really got him moving)

stole a vat of Lisagav?

Some Associate Producer.

Was there a Tiffen or MK-V piñata?

The Tiffen piñata had too much bobble once we got it up in the air, so nobody could hit it. The MK-V piñata was ordered 2 months ago and all they received was a picture of Howard's middle finger.

I may take that XCS clamp thing off your hands...can I borrow it to see if I can make it work?

back in the good old days of green screens you could do that!

I wear sunglasses with my Cinetronic monitor all the time? B)

Looks a bit like Twojay's rig!

GPI is offering a sale on all equipment from April 1-15 5% off everything. I doubt you'll find a used arm, but that's more incentive to just buy new!
