  1. Jens, I don't need another rig but this is a great price and I'm tempted, you coming out for NAB in Las Vegas?
  2. If they can over/under a cable while keeping up with me running, doing 360's around talent and keep me safe from hitting anything or anybody while going up and down stairs all while not tripping me and keeping the cable from being under anyones feet and out of the way of other cameras is the pre requisite. Thats why we travel as a team !! Mark , Who ever you are bringing through the ranks, keep them on their toes at all times and that way you can stay on your toes. Its not fun when you go down !
  3. Return comes through the camera if your tethered, If your on a wireless set up it comes with an return rf module via the link system

  14. Need to know if these exist? And where to get them? Think cork or foam 5-6 inches that would be able to strap onto your existing shoes, for doing hand held shots not walking in Steadicam

Bought from some other company here in the US, don't remember 3 - LI 90s . . . . . 5+ years old . . . . " " all from China and they have been super strong and have powered everything from Alexa on down. All of these batteries are manufactured from Beillen a company based in china, then all the other distributers slap their labels on them, at least thats what the company told me at NAB . . . . http://www.beillen.tv/Gold-Mount-Batteries/Beillen-BL-AN190-Li-ion-battery I would dispute Globals Claims about your use of the batteries, it sounds like you have a bad batch to me . . . .

  18. Alfeo, Unfortunately undercutting happens in every market and will always happen ! The best we can do is educate the up comers and help them realize the disservice they are doing to themselves and others. On the other points: Union rates: I have said it before.... they are in place for us only as the minimum they can pay us not the min you have to take, it's always negotiable. If your working for the union set rate then you need a class in negotiation. =} Discussing rates between operators: Of course you can discuss rates and you can tell others to try to stick to those rates, that's not to say they are going to and or have to, it's merely a suggestion. A suggestion that will help your career but not necessarily that day. Lastly Undercutting and referrals: There are shows and operators that are established and rates are set, if your stepping into those circles on established shows or a higher caliber show then you better be charging the proper rate for yourself and for other operators. If the show is new, with an unknown director or DP and they are claiming poverty well guess what, they get a lesser inexperienced operator for less rate or they don't get steadicam at all. Undercutting only becomes an issue if you had an established rate or a history of getting that rate and not necessarily with that production just your rate. I will get calls all the time for shows and their offered rate is way less then par, I tell them my normal rate and then they move on. All of my colleagues that are in my genre and circles will also quote them the same rate, not because of rate fixing but because they are worth the rate and won't be bothered to do a gig for the price of rental only. At some point all of you newbs will get sick of busting your ass for very little money and your experience and self worth will take over and you will say no to those gigs. So many times and undercut is more of a misinformation situation than a blatant undercut because the under cutter doesn't know what his or her worth is or what the shows budget is. Once these people are informed they realize what they have lost. There has been many times where some newer ops have stepped into my genre and into my circles of shows and shorted themselves because they just were misinformed, they just didn't know what to charge and production was happy to say yes to less. It's our jobs to educate the new guys so that they will understand the future is not about making the buck right now it's about making a living for the future.
  19. The Active High and Active low settings are not in the Tally menu, they are in a technical menu on monitor set up, I don't recall which one exactly But what concerns me more is that you should be getting the talent LED to illuminate even if the monitor is not receiving tally. This says to me that the circuit is not being made complete someplace. May have to be a call to talk you through a trouble shoot with Tiffen . . . .
  20. I'm hearing by the end of the year is their goal
