Thanks Jens! I guess I will contact Fikenca then :) Gruesse zurueck!

Hi Erwin. Thanks for your fast reply. It's too bad that there isn't something similar in Europe somewhere. Even though the bags are cheap compared to other stuff we usually need to buy I don't want to spend money on something that might never get here. The other website in Florida looks interesting but I guess they have to custom make my bag. Maybe I can find a place here where I live who can make them as well. If anybody has anymore insight on what's happening with modular 51 please share. Best

I have been trying to get in contact with modular 51 for some time now. The contact email form on the website always times out when I try to send a request and the telephone number I found on this forum goes straight to voicemail but no one calls back. Are they still doing business? I'm interested in buying a sled bag but since I'm in Germany I can't just stop by their address and check it out ;). In case modular 51 doesn't exist anymore does anyone have an idea where I could get a similar bag? Thanks

Hi Daniel! I'm planning to get a pro vest and then I would have an ultra 2 vest to sell in case you are interested. Best Markus

We used the cube on a 3D studio shoot a couple weeks ago and it seemed to get the job done. The delay made it not the right tool for focus but almost all departments had their own iPad where they could check for their needs and even go back to check on all previous takes that where uploaded via FTP to a server. What also made it a great tool was the fact that postproduction which was in another city could inform us about little changes needed for the 3D conversion of our footage. I don't know how video village set everything up but I guess a combination of a bolt and a cube system could get you pretty far.

That is really amazing. Even after watching it several times I can't figure out how they did it. A true show of artistic craftsmanship. I have to get a copy. Thanks for sharing!

I put some on about two years ago when it wAs really cold here in Germany and have left it on since. Helps a ton.

I sometimes catch myself humming "Don't stop believing" by Journey when I wait on first position, steadicam on shoulder, for everyone else to settle down. Other than this I would also vote for portishead.

Sorry Joel! Didn't see it until this morning. Too bad I missed it. Hope we get to meet some other time. Cheers.

Who is still in Munich? Anybody up for drinks tonight? It would be great to get together and meet! Cheers Markus

It sure does. Keeps falling off all the time :angry: The request to change that is already on my complaint list for cinec. As far as meeting up. I'll be there on the 23. and 24. I hope you can make it Sami. And Ben I would like to have a drink with you also since we didn't get to that after wrap a couple days ago. It would be really cool to meet you as well Erwin! C U there!

I have made similar experiences :) For me it's 5F all the way!

We'll see about that Sami :-)

That's great news :D since I won't be able to get to IBC, Cinec will probably be the only chance for me to try it out. Thanks !

Hey Chris! Do you know if there is gonna be one at Cinec in Munich ?

Ian Fox showed me his mod that Tiffen made... it was an adjustable angle third battery mount that screwed into the battery rails and allow one to swing the 3rd battery from directly under the post out and upward towards the monitor, very cool in my book. You wouldn't have a picture of that by any chance?

I know it's not exactly the topic but I have a gig coming up in Kroatia and need to get a Carnet A.T.A. for my gear to take it with me. Do any of you guys have any tips on this matter or know how much it's gonna cost me? F.Y.I I travel from Germany.

Mark. I didn't take it as criticism. I really think you are better qualified to judge pricing in that category :) Sarah! Good luck on your future purchase. I'm sure you'll find what suits you and that you'll love operating it.

I'm sure you have the better inside on lighter sleds than me Mark. I just ran across the offer and thought I should point it out ;)

Here is another one on Mandy: http://www.mandy.com/1/class3.cfm?v=48973794 Don't know why it is in the cart, Location equipment section though :blink:

Looks really good! Next time I'm in Munich I definitely have to check it out!

Thanks for the Video Pedro! Now I'm really curious on the advanced features. Btw what 3D rig are you using on the picture with the dancers? Looks really nice and small.

I second that!

You can already download it for free Isn't that just a light version?

I heard the rolling shutter could be a real issue on that thing. Other than that it looks pretty much unbeatable price wise if you don't need more than 30p. Especially because the package includes DaVincis color correction software. Hope they have it at cinec here in germany later this year.
