  3. Live gig...help wanted!!

    Hi all I have a live gig comming up...very short notice...tomorrow`s prep already :blink:

     

    it`s with Thomson GrasValley (?) TV cameras and canon wide angle optic

     

    i have an old J7 trying to get shematics for it because the last time i wanted to use it i could zoom in but when i released the rocker it would zoom out by itsself agian...

     

    i also whant to order jim bartell`s gimbal focus controller to have the option to pull my own focus in case the assistant (i don`t know him yet) can`t do it propperly

     

    but here`s the question now how can i get the return signal (what the other cameras do) on my monitor best would be switchable with my own signal of course any connectors pinouts?

     

    thanks in advance

     

    p.s. i also have a tally light ;)

  5. One shot music videos

    in Operating

    hey i don`t want to offend anyone if i say bad and lousy it`s not allways the operator`s fault

    i think anyone of us would have had difficulties to shoot under both conditions...

    it`s just a head up for directors that if you use steadicam use it well not just to move around

    tell a story and let the steadicam help the viewer to discover it...peace

    no i didn`t shoot that video and i`m also not shure who did could be brian goff?

    since i found it on his homepage (www.actionproducts.ch) but it`s not written there

    if he shot it actually...?

    anyhow of course christina is hotter than gimma but her video is so bad not

    only for the operating which is shurely hard to do with that location full of strange lights

    and the strange directions wich make her look like stupid well maybe that was the idea

    for the gimma stuff well if you watch the background und horizons it`s pretty

    lousy too but it`s hard to walk backwards in the snow and concentrate on so

    many extras...but it`s a fun video and no one has done it before that way at

    least not in switzerland...

  10. Loocking for a used BFD

    in Steadicam Marketplace - Wanted

    Posted

    Hi all I^m loocking for a used BFD if possible also with an iris module so i can replace my

    seitz wich does funny things lately: first i thought it were the bateries (i recelled them)

    but after i ched them the problem was still there: my assistand was able to demonstrate

    and repeat the phenomenon: when he stood in a certain angle and he made a bigger turn

    on the focus control the reciever showes an error and the motor didn`t respond for a short

    moment then it would go to the mark...strange

    i just got back from the shoot it all went well thanks to a great assistant!

    i will check tomorrow maybe it`s because we had to control iris as well and i just have one cable for the

    amp to EFP junction box so i have to put the reciever on top as well (normally i use the battery base

    multipin connector) and use the multipin breakout cable and connect it to the amplifier for the motors)

    that sucks!!! now that i have more and more and bigger jobs comming i need a decent setup

    which i can rely on...so please somone getting a brand new preston or scorpio help me and

    sell me your trusty old BFD!!!

    thanks in advace
