The more accurate you calibrate your lens initially, the more accurate it will recall it later. Just remember that you will only match the infinity mark later. So, if you are sloppy there, your lens will not match up. It's a great system. Jens

Hytron 50 come with a battery level display.....

"things could have gotten very ugly" excuse me, where have you been the last 47 days and still counting. Jens

DGA: less than one week of negotiating. that's the way to do it! :rolleyes: Thank you WGA for 47 days without any progress. :angry: my 2 cents.

Hello All, since the Euro is at a Dollar fifty right now (1Euro=1,47USDollar), it would be a good time to purchase a PRO arm..... Pro Arm (4 Springs): 12,878.29 EUR Pro Arm (8 Springs): 14,911.71 EUR Think about it! my 2 cents. Jens

I've found it. Reading the manual helped. Does anybody knows what happened the IMP Company, I think it was sold? Jens

Hello All, Does anybody know if the Blackbird has a Flip and reverse scan function? <_< Thanks! Jens

looks like the F35 is out in Japan.... "Sony pioneered HD digital content creation with the launch of the “CineAlta” system in 1999. CineAlta™ is now widely used for HD digital cinema production, where it can achieve the picture quality of traditional film. Sony has reached an agreement with OMNIBUS JAPAN Inc. to supply Sony’s high-end F23 line of CineAlta™ digital cinema cameras, as well as the “F35” newly launched in Japan." link to quote Sony Japan The pictures shows the F35 with an ARRI Master Prime lens (PL mount)

Hello All, I had the pleasure of flying the F23 this past Sunday on a feature. After talking to the AC's and doing some research we decided to fly it in the 2 part mode. I've used 2 highly flexible HD-SDI capable BNC 6FT jumper cables since we were recording in 4:4:4 mode on the "Toaster" with about 30FT of cable going to it. Digi Primes were used as lenses. The camera was outfitted with the Sony interface box that also incorporates an A/B battery plate. I was using a HYTRON 140 that was given us power for about 45 minutes and ads some nice weight the camera body. I had no problems balancing it using the normal XCS plate on my DBIII. The weight was approx. 2-3 pounds lighter than a similar PV/LW setup. The nice part about this camera is that the internal down conversion has only 1(!) Frame Delay instead of the usual 5 Frames on any other HD camera that I know of. Overall it was very pleasant experience.

I lost all my confidence in this company. There are good alternatives now. As long as there is not a free loaner program, they will not get me back as a costumer. :angry: :( Dynawave

anybody tried these guys? I-NIK batteries

Hey Guys, the specs read: (all in pdf download) "The SSR-1 has a built-in down-converter for NTSC or PAL output even when it is mounted on Genesis." does that man goodbye downconverter..... :rolleyes: "SSR-1 SPECIFICATIONS WEIGHT About 2.7 kg / 6 lbs DIMENSIONS 240mm x 135mm x 120mm (L,W,H?9.5 x 5.3 x 4.7 inches) POWER 11-17V DC, 40 Watts maximum in record, 6W in low power standby"

Hello All, Panavision unveiled their new Solid State recorder at their Panafest. Did anybody work with it so far? Looks like a giant step in the right direction for us. SSR-1 Brochure Jens

Thanks, Erwin! jens

FYI: a new software is available.....does anybody/Erwin knows what has been changed? :rolleyes: Version 1.13 Preston download

Hello, I'm looking for a used Digital Micro Force. No motors needed, just the Micro force. Thanks.

Prices: Tiffen G70 $17400,- VS PRO arm 2 light (blue) & 2 heavy (black) $19,000 (for load capacities from 39-63 lbs) (that's what you use 90% of the time) PRO Arm including 8 Spring Canisters: 4 light & 4 heavy (for load capacities from 13-72 lbs) $22,000 PRO Arm including 6 Spring Canisters: 4 light & 2 heavy (for load capacities from 13-63 lbs) $20,000 PRO Arm including 4 Spring Canisters: not enough of a difference to make a decision based on the price. go for what you like best and where you expect the best costumer service in the future. Downtime is very expensive and adds up quickly. my 2 Cents.....

" The VTX-100 is a modernized equivalent to the Modulus 3000. Same transmit power, same channels, but smaller, more efficient (read less heat), more rugged (wide voltage acceptance, polarity protected), simpler operation. Two buttons change channel (no channel knobs to replace) and they can be locked (and unlocked) to prevent accidental changes. The channel select buttons are not membrane switches but circuit board mounted switches that can easily be replaced and the durable plastic overlay can also be replaced if damaged." It’s a drop-in replacement for the Modulus, but can also be ordered with Fischer 4 pin wired Arri IVS (Canatrans compatible). VTX-100 Specs Channels: UHF 14-69 Power consumption: 3Watts (250mA at 12V) Supply Voltage: 10-36VDC Dimensions: 1” x 2” x 3” Connectors: Video in: BNC Antenna: SMA reverse gender Power/video input, Hirose 6 , Fischer 4 optional www.crampedattic.com

1000x$1850= not bad at all. :rolleyes: you have to update your website: "Since its introduction over 750 systems have been sold in 38 countries around the world." Congrats! Jens

The strike is on. Are you guys affected? Is your show shooting? Jens
