  1. :) Found this gem today. Also wondering if anybody else had some odd-mounts to share?
  2. Check out this behind the scenes footage take by Luke Rocheleau showing off the ActionCam RebelPro! You can find our build your own ActionCam listing at Innocinema! Have a happy New Year!
  3. Introducing the modular solution for the EPIC from ActionProducts. This modular system allows operators to add and remove modules using quick release technology to quickly alter functionality on the fly based on their needs. The current modules include the Basic Module “Proteus,” Power Module “Electra,” and Battery Module. PRE-ORDER 11 - 7 - 11 click to enlarge Basic Module “Proteus”: Its main functionality is to provide the modular line up with quick release functionality. The Proteus will run power to the camera while allowing operators to power their REDMOTE through a 5V connector (optional cable to Mini USB and other connectors). There is also an easy access 3.5mm headphone jack on the top, followed by an additional LEMO connector on the bottom that provides 12V power or (optional) a remote adapter to trigger on/off of the camera ("Schmitt" interface). Quick release power solution 5V(internal down conversion from 12V to 5V) Charges REDMOTE 12V power out (or option for remote camera on/off) Mount Battery Module directly or though Power Module “Electra” Cheese-plate in production TopPlate Module "Apollo": Its the ultimate tool for efficiency. With numerous mounting options, it provides both power and video distribution. This allows for easy rigging for all camera accessories and considers all sizes of production with its video I/O. The EPIC TopPlate "Apollo" comes with 3 cables, making it ready to go right out of the box. This plate utilizes a power D-TAP cable, HDSDI BNC cable, and a 4 pin LEMO cable. This allows for the unit to work standalone, or along side our Basic Module “Proteus”. 

If used with the “Proteus”, you would just distribute the 3 cords accordingly… 3 pin Lemo plugged into the "Proteus" HD-SDI BNC ran through the "Proteus" connecting into HDSDI port on the EPIC 4 pin Lemo ran through the "Proteus" connecting in the SYNC port on the EPIC Power Module “Electra”: Its main functionality is to provide a professional power distribution and functionality. The module offers several 12V accessory connections (2x D-Tap (one on the battery plate), 2x LEMO) and a down-converted 24V accessory connection (3pin Fischer RS). Further two external camera power connectors (both in/out power) - these are 1x 4pin XLR and 1x 6pin LEMO (REDone standard). The Electra has a built in puffer battery that can power the camera AND accessories for up to 4 minutes. Allowing hot swap functionality wile the camera (and accessories) keep running. The puffer battery can be manually triggered and automatically switches back to the new battery. It also recharges automatically when a new battery is mounted. The main power button provides "system off" function and switching to the puffer battery. 12V Power for the Camera (though basic module Proteus) 2x 12V D-Tap out Accessories (one D-Tap on the battery plate) 2x12V out (2 or 4 pin Lemo) Accessories 1x 24V (regulated Fisher 3 pin) out Accessories - 24V/3 amp, 12v - all together 3 amp 1x in/out 12V camera power 4pin XLR 1x in/out 12V camera power 6pin LEMO (REDone) connector with Bat information Puffer Battery (can power Camera and Accessories up to 4 min.) - LED shows when Battery power is low and the operator needs to switch to the puffer-battery - LED shows when puffer Battery is on or when it is charging. Can connect a battery mount directly to Electra (hardwired V-Mount or AB) - or add an Adapter module and then the Battery module (for quick swapping - V-Mount and AB mount available - other to come ...). Battery Module: Its main functionality is to provide the modular line up with V-mount and Anton / Bauer battery mounting options (others to come ...). This makes operator’s setups flexible to mount to the “Electra or Proteus." They connect without cable directly through the module connectors. The Battery module (and actually also the electra) can be disconnected from the basic from the other modules and reconnected over cables of different lengths. This allows external mounting for counter-weight etc. There will be several mounting options available - 15mm and 19mm rod mounts (with swivel), swivel for the razor shoulder-mount etc. Can mount to either the “Electra” or “Proteus” Available with V-Mount or Anton / Bauer (others to come ...) External mounting options

  7. Quite an old post I see. It isn't too uncommon for ops to pull their on focus on some productions, where others they would most definitely have a focus puller. If you're gunna be doing some fast moves, or running around corners, I would try to grab a spotter
  8. What an interesting shot. Even more interesting apparatus on your rig. Will they let you post the shot?
  9. This is awesome. You should definitely try to walk onto a set with this, and see if anyone catches on!
  10. That looks really good. That first building was really cool. I wish the streaming vid was a little bit bigger though

  12. No and here's why. Goodmglass will never be lite weight, you will always need accessories and finally one simple word 3D Eric I couldn't agree more. No matter how good the technology gets to take the chip quality up and camera size down, the high quality lenses can only be made so small. As far as 3D, clearly the professional way 3D is shot now (and for a good while to come) requires a heavy set up. I was more referring to will even professional 3D technology gets small as well? But the fact of the matter is even if it someday does get that small, you still are going to need professional lens and that will add weight. This fact makes me happy actually, because it answers where this trend will probably end up. There will be a maturity to this fast growing change in camera size where things will level off and the setup wont get below a certain weight. Knowing this helps to plan production setups for short term and long term goals. I would not be surprised at all if prosumer class cameras follow the new DSLR setup more and more as this technology progresses. Before this, most prosumer class cameras didn’t have exchangeable lenses, so there was a larger gap between professional cameras and prosumer cameras. Now, this small camera has a huge chip for its size and can handle professional lenses. This is awesome! It’s still a young technology for video, but what this will look like even as short as 2 to 3 years is very interesting to me. The gab seems to be getting smaller all the time between prosumer and professional, how far will this go?
  13. It is no question that this industry is going through some massive changes from just about all angles... To be more specific on one change would be to address how much the cameras have changed over the years. RED broke the quality boundary between high end film cameras and digital cameras. Since then prosumer class cameras have gotten so good to the point that a lot of professional work can be done with them. The BIG heavy rigs of course are used for big fancy cameras and the smaller lighter rigs are used for the prosumer style cameras more or less. With this growing grey area between the quality of the prosumer class of cameras and the professional class or cameras, it is no question that the prosumer sector of the industry is growing. It's getting more first time filmmakers because they can now afford the investment in the equipment and still get great results. It's getting some existing professional filmmakers because in some cases the quality is "good enough" and/or they maybe in a financial position where the economy forces them to. The growing need for 3D setups is an added factor. It's "presently" very difficult to get around needing a heavy rig for these setups. However, how long will even that last? There are already prosumer style cameras out that shoot 3D. Will the technology get so good some day that the need for 2 cameras will go away completely? So where is this going to end up? I would guess that lighter rigs are going to be more and more popular as time goes on. I am curious to see how you all view this trend. How far do you think this will go? Do you think that some day the need for a heavy rig will almost be gone entirely?
  14. On set... try a nice fat header cable to a HMI 10K or larger At home or off set... tennis balls are also good and if you really want to dig in... golf balls I was thinking more along the lines of a foot rub from an on the set hottie...but will also give the balls a try. That would be my kind of PA
  15. i guess that depends on what you call pain? if you do not work constantly, back muscles will definintely 'hurt' , if it's something different... Haha, a foot rub does sound nice. I will admit I am pretty new to operating. So any feedback to help me learn is always welcome and appreciated. So far my only experience has been with a Back Mounted Vest. I have enjoyed it a lot because of the way that it distributes the weight of the whole rig throughout my body bone structure from the hips. This takes a lot of the weight off my back even to the point where sometimes almost none of the weight is on the shoulder straps. My back doesn't do so well with a lot of weight on my shoulders so I like this. I have heard feedback in the past from operators that use Front Mounted Vest that said they experienced some degree of back pain. They said the reason could be because the way a Front Mounted Vest distributes the weight can be a lot on the shoulders and our shoulders are not made to hold so much weight for a long period of time. I have no experience with a Front Mounted Vest to be able to compare. Have any of you experienced a similar feeling with a Front Mounted Vest after a long day? Does it seem to wear you out faster because a lot of the weight is on the shoulders? Is this even true that a lot of the weight rest on the shoulders with a Front Mounted Vest?
  16. I wanted to get feed back from anyone that is willing. Do any of you have back problems after a long day of working? Or notice that you may be developing longterm back problems overtime from your work?
