We have Volumes 1 and 2 of the Sony BVV-5 Maintenance Manuals if anyone wants them. If not, their going in the recycle bin.

Sounds pretty good unless you live in a "major" city or need to operate a few miles from an airport. The airports I can understand but how do they define a "major" city? http://www.tvtechnology.com/article/faa-eases-drone-rules-opens-door-for-newsgathering/275218

I'd love to be able to use one here but I also have the question of practicality under the schedules for shooting news. If I'm under a time crunch to get a story I don't really have the time to pull one out to get supplemental shots. The reporter could be writing their story during that time...

We have a few sitting around from a filing cabinet purge and before I tossed them I wanted to see if anybody out there was interested. Various ones from monitors, decks and what not. PM me if interested.

8K broadcasting by 2016? Well, that's the plan anyway. http://ajw.asahi.com/article/economy/technology/AJ201306140093 Another article in the latest issue of TV Technology also says that NHK won't be doing any 4K broadcasts and that Sony, Panasonic, Sharp and all the big boys in Japan have all...

Related to the replacement GoPro lens but thought it might need its own thread. One of our guys called GoPro to order some replacement lenses last week and were told they are shifting all production to the Hero 3 and they didn't have anymore. They're still out there from resellers but once...

One of the dangers we'll have when operating these in crowded areas. I'm not sure how insurance companies will handle coverage. I talked to a couple of companies about the liability risks and they didn't even know how they would figure that yet for a small business but knew that they would...

Does anyone out there have experience with good upconverting software? We're moving to HD and since we're a government channel some of the SD material we air will still need to run for a while longer until it can be replaced. I've done some reserach and Magic Bullet Instant HD seems to be...

As part of a major upgrade here we're looking at new editing software but with things the way they are we're having a tough time forecasting what we will need for the long-term. We currently have Avid Symphony and FCP 7 with all our media on a 3rd party server. Symphony replaced our older...

Has anyone here had any experience with a mount for attaching a GoPro the the tactical rail on AR style rifles? I've seen quite a few out there but just don't know how good some of them are at dampening vibration and not falling off. Looking for some feedback before I buy one.

For those of you who are using iPad's in the field as prompters, what devices are you using that offer you good, dependable speed control?

I'm looking at doing more work in the near future and was wondering how you guys handled insurance for gear and liability. I'm not looking to form an official company, at least not yet, so I won't be protected by a LLC designation and be able to keep company assets separate from what I have...

I'm sorry. I just found this too funny that they would actually put this much effort into highlighting a federal court case. http://www.woio.com/category/143515/related-stories-cuyahoga-county-public-corruption-investigation=
