  9. I've had my monitor battery die during a show being broadcast live, used the force, it was wide and just trust your instincts and I think all the times I had to do a slate as a loader always getting the slate in without having the operator change there frame def gave me insight on where the camera is pointing/ framing. Another time was doing a feature and was so dusty my monitor was so covered in dust I couldn't see any image. Nice 2 min walk and talk. Perfect every time :)
  10. Title was supposed to be vest features.... Autocorrect...
  11. Hey all, just wondering about the features of different vests, ie I saw that the sachler one has a pouch for com unit. And the Exo has articulating hips. Do any of the other on the market have nifty feature sets that we should know of? Just interested to know and no this isn't a vest vs vest discussion/gruelling as we should all know it comes down to preference......
  12. What do u live guys use as a wireless return feed?
  13. This is what I think, and I may be totally wrong perhaps the ops out there with far more experience than me will disagree... I think that on features particularly the ones that only use Steadicam as a daily call would instead have a mini as the backup body in the truck and then as more and more people have gimbals will lead to say the DIT assistant having his gimbal that he just bought as he got out of film school on set or in the truck and then happily use that. Or say the dop/1st/2ac will also have their own gimbals sitting in the truck and so on. I know of jobs that I didn't get due the production/DP/director wanting to use their own gimbals that they purchased, in fact I know of about 4 people with their own ranging from sparks to dop having now. The only shots I've ever seen done by gimbals are low wide shots and the bts shows them all hunched over, just watch the bts of the Alexa mini video on their website. Yes I believe Steadicam is far superior especially if u have honed your craft but I think the gimbals have effectively done what gunpowder did to the mounted knight. There were many people that said film will never die, it's far superior, yes it is but that didn't stop digital cameras effectively bankrupting Kodak especially Alexa. Also gone will be the ease of use that comes with using a standard Alexa and bring on the mayhem of every body coming with different accessories just like every Epic I've encountered. Maybe I'm wrong and I dearly hope I am but I think we are going to be severely affected by this camera, live guys maybe not but defiantly features and commercials.
  14. I think if had to put a film camera on and plug it in my sled would have a massive heart attack and say what the hell is this! But it's so good... Gimme more
  15. Any one have one laying around? If you do please hook me up
  16. Hi all I was wondering... I saw somewhere there was a poll about hand above or below whilst doing low mode, And I'm sure everyone has their preference, but... I find having my hand above the gimbal way more comfortable than below but it feels very different like the forces are all reversed. Are there any tips on operating like this or is it a case of just practise it until if feels right? (Btw..i have a MK-V 1,5" carbon fibre post with MK-V gimbal)
