Premium Members Thomas English Posted May 6, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 This changing to low mode business I don't think is so great. Currently all I need to do is Tilt my TB6 right up and move my batteries backwards and I am balanced for low mode. I can do this with the rig on about to do a shot. This yoke setup definitely requires me to dock the sled. Unless off-course there will be a yoke to CP2 spud adapter so I could tilt the whole yoke upwards and retaining the best of both worlds. This monitor looks very cool by the way. Edit: I've just noticed that there is an XCS spud at the bottom of it. For my purposes I would like it to be an articulated and kiplocked spud (as we are used to) for either XCS or CP2. This would enable me to send my monitor arm out, tilt my whole cinetronic setup and move my batteries backwards quicker than an AD can say "lowmode" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Frederic Chamberland Posted May 18, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi all, Just sent my money to Cinetronic without seeing the monitor in action. I am an avid reader of this forum and thanks to it's many contributors, I don't consider that I'm taking a risk sending 5g's to this company . Thanks Eric Fletcher for sharing your opinion and pictures on this particular item. Your input was invaluable in my decision making . Next interesting reading will be Charles Papert Transmitter's debacle . Starting a TV series for 90 days flying Alexa so I'll be able to review the monitor in many different settings . Fly safe.

Premium Members chris bangma Posted May 24, 2011 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 For those who are interested in checking out the monitor, we will have one on one of the sleds at Cinegear, and will also be showing the monitor at the Stabilizer Gear Expo.

I'm very eager to see this monitor in person and I will be sure to check it out there as I have been in the market for a new monitor for quite some time now, thanks!

Premium Members Jorge Prieto Posted May 25, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 hi all I would love that the monitor included something like an onboard recorder that captured the video signal itself reaching the monitor with the ability to review shots to keep for insitu and reels. you are saying? thanks for everything I learn from your comments. P. S. sorry for my English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor has it that the Blackmagic Hyperdeck might actually exist somewhere :-) When we can get our hands on one, we will make up a bracket, so it can fit on the back of the monitor.

Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted May 25, 2011 Moderators Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 A bracket might be better than an internal recorder. I for one have seen the onboard recorder market go through multiple generations of format and product throughout the life-span of my TB-6. Can you imagine if the TB-6 had a built in 8mm recorder?

Premium Members Ants Martin Vahur Posted May 27, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hi! I'll second Alec- internal recorder would become obsolete very quickly. Remember when they used to do small tube TV-s with built-in VHS players? Weren't very useful as I remember. Maybe the first month when you bought them. Let me know when you have the thinner version of 7'' Cinemonitor. Beer truck version is a bit too wide- you would have to walk with x-legs so you wouldn't bump into a monitor with your knees. I would rather have a cube shape monitor. And numbers for horizon- I'm also against. So line me up in the que! So far with the old Master monitor- beats all the LCD- until now.. :) AntsMartin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The present size is not a problem and it's actually smaller than the 8" Tiffen LCD Master monitor being the best? Not by a longshot, bit the Pro and especially the TB-6 kill the master's monitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Thomas English Posted May 28, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Wow, that Blackmagic Hyperdeck Shuttle looks nice. Can it take just a regular SD signal in or only SD SDI ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members James Davis Posted May 28, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Check out the specs here mate: http://www.creativevideo.co.uk/index.php?t=product/bmd_hyperdeck-shuttle Looks like switchable HD/SD, and what a bargain for under £300, instant on-set HD playback without messing around with the camera, pretty nice. If I could bolt some kind of v-lock plate into the back of it I could even slot it straight onto the back of my monitor, definitely going to check one of these out in person. Maybe if I screwed or glued something like this to the back it would work nicely: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/699163-REG/Element_Technica_EL_VLP_AJA_AJA_V_Lock_Plate.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After looking at specs in another thread, this really only leaves SSD drives as an option, and large enough drives to get you through a day will likely cost an excess of $1,000. Personally, I'm looking at the Atomos Samurai for a recording option: HDMI and HD-SDI inputs, records in Apple ProRes to SDD or standard 2.5" HDD (SATA connections), supports playback, etc. The unit costs $1495, but the HDD drives cost as low as $60.

Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted May 28, 2011 Moderators Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hey guys, can we please start a new thread for onboard recording options if we are discussing specific devices in any manner other than mounting to this monitor? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
