hi all

Hi all

Sorry if been discussed but I couldn't find it

Um... I'm hard mounting on a Polaris tommorrow and the terrain is gonna be quite rough

What would be the best arm settings?

I'm flying a 3a arm

Kindest regards

And thanks in advance

Hi all

Thanks for the all the replies!

So we ditched the zoom and got a set of compact primes.

The rental house doesn't have the correct brackets/cages aks to mount the zoom properly without inducing a lot of flex and vibration. Since we hard mounting over ROUGH terrain not really a good thing.

So I put a weight under it and got it up to around the same an Alexa setup so I'm pretty happy

Hi all

I've got a Job next week and we are shooting with the F3 and Alura18-80

They are also going to record onto the sound devices pix 240 Solid state recorder

The job entails hard mounting to a Polaris and shooting running stuff, and it involves quite rough terrain I've been told

Any advice or things I should watch out for with this camera setup? Anyone shot with the same setup?

Thanks all in advance

Kindest regards

i think i awswered my own question while reading another post about the codex

thanks all

hey all

just a thought...

if u select 12v power from sled and power the alexa do u think it would use the on-board battery first because of voltage drop up the post?

hey all

power to the cart...

i think would be to much of a mission to warrant it.

when i was an ac i thought about it even tried it but in the end it was too complicated.

the easiest was to just have power run to my van and set up a charging station.

i charged steadi batteries, camera batteries, phones and laptops.

i also had a inverter and 3 12v batteries in-case but more of a hassle than ever needed.

i carry enough batteries to run the whole day without having to worry about charging (1 less thing to worry about)

when using Alexa i have the 2nd Ac swap the on-boards or have a brick handy to plug in so i never have to power down.

for shooting i run camera off sled.

i use 2x 160w which gives me a runtime of aprrox 3 and quarter hrs.

but combining onboards and these i usually run for 8-9 hrs before changing my batteries.

as for charging phones and stuff, i generally leave my phone in my car :blink:

but in an emergency plug it into the vt cart or in the van where everything else is being charged.

My Friend who is a sound recordist runs his whole set up on marine deep cell batteries which i beleive can power his whole cart for 4 days.

Hi All

i was wondering about what cameras guys out there are using mostly?

i mean in the last week i did 3 jobs all on Alexa and some gigs next week also probably on Alexa

the last time i used a 435 was 14mnths ago.

do u guys think RED is gonna fade away cause here the rental companies have halved their rates on MX

my good friend who has been a focus puller for 25 yrs says he hasnt shot on film in a year.

do u guys think its just flavour of month or gonna be around for some time?

i power mine off my sled with 12v

and no problems at all!

hello

could i also get a copy pretty please :)

hi all

thanks for all the answers, its what i suspected :(

but some excellent ideas though which i'm def gonna look into for next saturday,

as i have another job also on Alexa :D

kindest regards

hi all

ive got a shoot tommorrrow on Alexa,

and i was wondering....

is there a setting on camera to tell it to use the onboard battery first

and when that dies kick over to my sleds batteries?

i was wondering if this is possible as i would like to plug it into the sled

and not have it use the batteries except when hot swapping the onboard batteries

without having to plug/unplug and have the cable stuck/dangling next to camera body

i didnt get a chance to check it out yesterday at the g/check as there were other issues

that were being dealt with

thanks in advance

 

As has been said time and time again, a good Steadicam Operator must first and foremost be a good Camera Operator. There is a lot more that goes into a shot than just if it is smooth or not.

 

 

@Afton

ok i understand what u meant... i was talking about it from a pure skill in operating steadicam i.e being as smooth as humanly possible.

Richard, I think you fail to recognize exactly what makes (made) Larry and Charles great operators. Very little of it has to do with their ability to move a camera smoothly.

hi Afton

maybe its a bit late and ive had to many johnnie walkers ;)

but i dont understand what u mean...

it has EVERYTHING to do with their abilty to move smoothly.

thats what i think we will lose. is the high skillset that inspires us to become better

because on a daily basis im trying to improve my operating but if u can stabilise mediocr operating into aweinspiring shots, what the point of becoming the best that you can possibly be

hi all

i think that short video is actually quite good for what it is...

i mean its only gonna get better.

now as steadicam being threatened.. i dont think so.

if u combine top notch post stabilization with mediocre operating everyone is gonna be

a Larry or a Charles :)

now THAT'S what i am afraid of.. if everyone can pull off these amazing shots with little skill

who is gonna inspire us to become better, i mean the general public is not gonna care

how or who did it, but at the end of the day we as filmmakers make films for other filmmakers.

and im sure every op here has a "Holy Cr#P" shot that inspires them on a daily basis

Thanks guys but I'm sorted
