Premium Members William Demeritt Posted May 30, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 sold when can I pick it up? Preorders open next week, payment expected immediately, delivery in 6-8 weeks pending delivery of the springs (the last batch didn't boing nicely enough).... assuming no bugs are discovered. :blink: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted May 30, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Chris -- Afton and I got it covered so you can get the bubble levels and threaded holes done! Afton's tool.jpg Does that mean you are finally buying a monitor and level, or just speaking on Aftons behalf? Gladly...once I see the bubble work and I figure out a narrow bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Alfeo Dixon SOC Posted May 30, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I think we could come up with something. Would 1/10th the cost of the Cartoni work?lead time? possible interest here also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members nick franco Posted May 30, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 They put an oconnor on there first? On the Modern shakey cam, Charles? Yes, it goes between the oconner and the camera. Works well even with the Alexa and the Elura 45-250 zoom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm in for a Shotball. What kind of lead time are we looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Nicholas Davidoff Posted May 30, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 We've been using the Modern Studio shakey cam on my show, the ops seem to like it and the footage looks believably handheld: http://www.modernstudio.com/cameramounts.html Thanks Charles, this looks promising. Will definitely check into this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members chris bangma Posted May 30, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Trying to see where more interest lies, making the shotballs again, or making the new version similar to the cartoni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Charles Papert Posted May 30, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Here's our man Nick Franco hiding behind the Modern shakey-cam setup. I'll leave it to him and/or Denis to detail the hands-on experience, but the director and I are quite happy with the results (and it has relieved Nick and Denis from having to shoulder through many endless takes, so I would think they are fans too). One of the things that is pretty cool is that unlike true handheld where the longer the lens, the more amplified the wobble, it is possible to get a very similar look from two vastly different focal lengths between the cameras. It does seem like a welcome feature would be an instant lock that would rigidify the platform for leaving it unattended, AC doing work on the camera etc. Our guys fashioned a wooden block that slides in between the springs to achieve this. I would love to see a comparative lineup of all available versions of this tech. Hey look, ANOTHER shootout that we'll never get around to.

Premium Members Brian Freesh Posted May 30, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 We can do this: put cameras on shot balls and shakey cams. Use a different transmitter (arrow, bolt, micro, etc...) to transmit to all the newest daybright monitors (cinetronic 2, new Transvid, smallHD, etc...) Simple. Oh wait, we gotta check out all these new electronic levels. Okay, so we put the shotballs and shakeycams on top of steadicams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted May 30, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Uh...what electronic levels!? Oops, forgot about the tiffen one! Not excited about external led display but certainly a badass level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cartoni style seems better to me cause you can let go of the camera without it falling over. The Shot ball has to be "docked" so to speak.
