Good Morning, I'm not sure who is on here these days, I haven't been here in a while. We were talking in my office about the show Full Swing, and what they shoot it on. We run Sony A7s-iii, FX-6 and FX-3 for marketing a University in Upstate NY. In the show we have seen all kinds of crazy...

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. Yet another camera question. My new boss is leaning towards the Black Magic Mini Earsa. Thoughts?? Anyone out there using it? I've heard not the best in low light, but that was one review. Please let me know what you think of it, both good and...

Greetings, I hope everyone is safe and doing well with the weather lately. I have a question about AVCHD work flow. I'm shooting on a Canon C-100, it makes nice pictures. I'm editing on a Mac Book Pro with Premiere CC. I understand the whole "bring the whole card into your computer" and...

Greetings, You guys have been a wealth of knowledge over the years and I'm hoping you can help me out again. I have changed jobs as a result of being downsized but have landed on my feet, still shooting and editing. My new employer handed me a Canon C 100 and told me it was mine to use. I...

Happy Holidays everyone!! I usually ask this question every 18 months or so. How do you pack when traveling with gear. What gets shipped, what gets checked as baggage, what's in your carry-on?? Do you ship your camera?? Dejero?? I travel for college basketball and follow the hometown team...

Hi Everyone, My boss is looking at some LED lighting. Bescor 700 Dual Color temp fixtures. Are these any good?? Anybody using them?? Likes?? DisLikes?? Thanks for any help you can offer. Have a Great Day!! Joey

Hi Everyone, My boss is looking at a Panasonic AJ 800. Seems like a nice little camera, lighter than the Panny 3100 I'm using now. Not sure if I like how the Viewfinder is set up, but from what I can tell you cannot get a hi-res b/w fiewfinder with it. The viewfinder flips up to expose a...

Greetings, So I shot this great interview of a former Basketball player from Syracuse. It's about 90 mins long. Now I have to transcribe it and it will take me way too long to do it manually. I know there are services that will do it for a fee, but I can't really spend that type of money. I...

Hi Everyone, How is the year going so far ??? I have a question about storing and archiving media. Not sure this is the right forum for this, but thought I would start here. I'll probably post this on the news/chief photog forum as well. I think it's a simple question, but I really know it's...

Greetings, I hope everyone is having an enjoyable summer Quick question about camera mounted monitors. Who uses what, what sort of arm do you mount it to, size, weight, resolution. I shoot on an Panny HPX 3100G. it does have the little flip out monitor, but its not meeting my needs. I do...

Happy New Year! The New Year finds me traveling with our local college to to shoot their men's basketball games and pressers on the road. I have the usual gear except lights. I'm trying to figure out how to pack lighter and smarter. I have to bring a camera, laptop, batteries, wireless etc...

Just found out I'm shooting Syracuse and Penn State football this weekend at Metlife Stadium. Single camera for a highlight show, but they don't want it from the sidelines. They want to make a cutdown show of the game with the radio call, yeah editing that night. Anyway, is there a good...

Greetings, I have a question about file transfers and compression settings. This fall I'm shooting football for one of our local colleges. I'll be traveling with the team and will have to shoot game highlights in the press box and then get post game sound. I'll have Adobe Premiere on a laptop...

Greetings all, I'm looking to buy a couple of HMI's from Bron, and the one thing I'm not seeing on their website is how many amps the ballast draw. I'm looking at both the 400 watt and 800 watt fixtures. Does anyone out there use these and know what they draw? Thanks as always for the help...

Here's a reality show question, actually several that popped into my head the other night. Has any one seen the show on Discovery called "Out in the wild"?? About a group of people in the Alaskan wilderness? How is it shot? How many crews? logistics?? If the contestants don't have food, how...
