Hello, I'm a director and have a dream product in my mind. And I think the Steadicam world would be the closest to telling me if such a montir rig could be created. What i'm dreaming of is a monitor that:
1) size and weight of PSP (playstation portable)
2) wireless video reception of A & B Cameras (or at least A camera)
3) all battery powered. low wieght more important, I don't mind swapping batteries throughout the day.
Can you think of a rig that can be put together?
If you are by chance a manufacturer, the following added features would really be amazing:
4) with small cellphone like lens to take digital stills, and record brief videos. Also displaying lens size like any viewfinder for various formats.
5) automatic recording of takes, and multiple frame rate renders like Vantage's PSU (http://www.pagelocation.com/pagelocation/psu.htm)
I'm surprised something like this hasn't been developed yet for directors. Or maybe you know of something similar that's already out there?
Also, I'm just curious, has there's been any research in sending video signals through WIFI technologies? If so, then anyone with a laptop could monitor the shooting. That would be a killer ap.
Many thanks,
Kal.
