Stephen Vanderspek replied to pauldudeck's topic in Batteries/Power
Ok, so it wasn't just me, I thought I was losing my mind. -
For what its worth, your hard to hit, that should count for something!

NAB 2009 roll call
Stephen Vanderspek replied to Eric Fletcher S.O.C.'s topic in News, Events, Workshops
It's really good -
I get an error page that says IPS Driver Error There appears to be an error with the database. You can try to refresh the page by clicking here When I try to mark the Marketplace forum as read. Firefox on XP for whatever it is worth.

Very nice. A loading bar on the streams would be nice, but that's nitpicking. No problems with Firefox + XP although there seems to be a button in the bottom right hand corner that does nothing.

I somehow missed that point, but an interesting one none the less. -

Stephen Vanderspek replied to Anthony Graham's topic in News, Events, Workshops
Interestingly enough I haven't been able to find MK-V in the NAB registry, am I missing something? -
A friendly Pre-NAB heads up from Paul. I suspect you'll see them up on the website come NAB.

This thread is going to turn messy fast. -
Gunna assume here, that its to keep him from falling out of the van.

It's Google ads. Should be a way to block them out easily, if I recall. I personally have all of the ads blocked through the Noscript addon for Firefox.

NBC/Uni up to their old ways
Stephen Vanderspek replied to Eric Fletcher S.O.C.'s topic in Legal / Business Practices
I believe my working of my last post is what created a bit of confusion between you and me, what I meant was. When you are paid you are really paid for two things, what you spoke to about being a creative individual that is part of the team but they are also renting the equipment from you and just like renting cameras, from as used in a previous example, Panavision, it should be insured by the production. But in the same breath I do understand your position and frankly I'd likely end up taking it particularly once I do start working, although as Mike said, it would depend who you are dealing with, big corporations like NBCU or CBS etc have HUGE legal teams that aren't afraid to sue anyone. -

Stephen Vanderspek replied to Eric Fletcher S.O.C.'s topic in Legal / Business Practices
The idea is that Steadicam is basically just another piece of equipment should be insured by the production, just like any other piece of production equipment. As to the added charge on their insurance, 100-200k is a pittance of their overall insurance. -
Steadicam books

Yea I'm going to that workshop, if there's advance copies floating around I'd be up for paying cash. ok Jerry, looks like Atlanta is ready for the first book signing... But if you can't get any by that time, I won't be too upset. I would rather fork the dough over to you too. Book signing, good idea. Just give us a heads up if this is possible, I'll likely have to grab more USD if it is. -

You can fly a 35 lb load when the sled has 2 batteries with the C324 where as you can fly 50lb with a U2 with 2 batteries. Hyper advanced math would bring the C324 sled out to 15 lb or 11.3 lb without batteries. C324: (from Tiffen website) # "Ride Control"10-35lb (4.5-15.9kg) Net Camera Capacity U2: (From sales pdf/print brochure) Sled with monitor (no batteries) 17 lbs 13 oz Weight with 1 battery: + 1.65 lbs Weight with 2 batteries: + 3.3 lbs

Very common for HD projects. A lot of steadi-ops do not have HD monitors and HD transmitters are just getting to the market that are within a reasonable price range and workable lag. Not to mention that cameras that also output a SD signal are now becoming more prevalent on the scene. It's odd that RED never attempted this also... unless they are planning to release the "RED-Converter" -Alfeo Wouldn't be surprised to see it.

I knew there was a commercially available handle somewhere but it escaped my mind. -
