Premium Members GrantCulwell Posted February 28, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hello all, I've been hired to shoot a live broadcast event in Hawaii in May. The company is interested in adding the Tango to the mix. The Tango has a 6lbs camera weight limit. I've spoken with VER about camera options but didn't have a lot of luck. Is anyone aware of a camera with painting capabilities that is under 6lbs or a work around? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Mike Germond SOC Posted February 28, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) We've flown a Sony HDC-P1 with an ENG lens on the Tango at Golf Channel for a test. It makes weight. That camera requires a Cat5 and a 75ohm Coax traveling back to the house, so that's a potential hassle. You can only make a Cat5 cable so small. Here's the camera: https://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/product-HDCP1/ Here's the lens we used: http://www.canon.com/bctv/products/hj14ex43b.html The total is closer to 9lbs. I can give you the owner's contact info if you want to talk shop about it. Edited February 28, 2013 by Mike Germond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Ludl Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Hi Grant, hello everybody! The sinaCAM is a wonderful little camera for the Tango. Big advantage - only one cable down the spar. http://www.sinacam.eu/#meet_sinacam I don't know if you can rent it in the US - the international distributor for the US is http://www.zgc.com/s/v/cameras-sinaCAM.html Have you already done the job? How was it? All the best Martin Edited March 14, 2013 by Martin Ludl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
