I bought several of these back in '06 but don't remember where. Anyone know where I could find these now? https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos?pid=5923223197622868802&oid=114009618032528506415...

I've never seen them in the field, never used them on freelance shoots or never heard anyone mention anything about them. Anyone have any experience with Sony wirelesses? I know you get what you pay for, but for around 1/4 of the price of my Lectrosonics kit, I can have the same setup AND both...

Anyone have any recommendations for custom, heavy-duty gear shelves/drawers/lockers for the rear compartments of SUVs?

When you are buying a multipurpose lens for yourself, what's the best overall choice? I'm leaning towards a wide angle canon with a 2x extender (10x3.3). Would it be better to get something with a little more on the telephoto end or something in-between? The main purpose is HD ENG...

Anyone doing live HD remotes via microwave or uplink? Just curious what the process is. thanks

Has anyone ever experienced the flanges on the bayonet mount that lock to the camera bending? Obviously this causes major focus problems and numerous other abberations.

Don't know if there's anyone here who cares, but when I renewed my NPS Pass the ranger said I had good timing because the price of the annual pass was going up. Right now it's $50 and he wouldn't say what the '07 price would be. For me, these things save a lot of money...in las vegas, we're...

Interesting critiques coming back from the 2nd quarter. Mostly critiquing the reporter. Also saying things like "should have held the shot for the reaction." Little do they know, I did, and there was no reaction...should I have staged it? Another that was repeated (so obviously a problem)...

I need to find a way to adapt a telescope to a video camera. One thought was to get one of those small security CCD's with removeable lens and find an adapter for the scope ... good idea, but where would one find an adapter of that sort, and if you can adapt a small security camera, why not a...

I've been looking for any kind of DVR other than a tivo or the "cable company" DVR. The dilemma is tivo requires a phone line and a subscription and the "cable company" DVR requires an original cable line. In our building, the cable is internally programmed so we can view the microwave...

Anyone ever use these? The good ole velcro-to-the battery trick is getting old. http://www.trewaudio.com/straddlebag.htm

Anyone get a chance to check out XD, P2 and the tapeless Icky system at NAB? It was so crowded and since I was going during my lunch hour, I only got to breeze through. From the looks of the Ikegami (which I was completely unaware of until Tuesday), the format it uses has more capacity than...

B&H has the Canon GL-2 on sale for a little over $2,000. Compared to the other 3-CCD mini-DV's this seems like a good deal. Cannon GL-2 Anyone know?

On the other iPod discussion I asked about this, but that thread had lost it's life by then. So ... how much broadcast quality vid can fit on 10GB? Can you transfer a pkg from an Avid Newscutter to Final Cut Pro on a Mac? What kind of file is it stored as? These may be simple questions, but...

So what's the update? AN article posted in the other Las Vegas Union thread mentions KLAS and KVBC, but as far as I know, there's been no contact by the reps. You guys know of any shops that have maintained a "non-union" status in a union market?

More and more, I've been running into these guys who say they're "freelance" running around with low quality mini-DV's or even tiny point-and-shoot digital cameras. Not only are they using sub-par equipment that NO station would ever be interested in, but they have absolutely NO respect for the...

I need to pull the info off my old hard drive and move it to something Mac compatable ... Microsoft word documents, images, and all types of old files that have been collecting for years. Can anyone point me towards an information source for transferring info from windows to mac or just tell...

I'm sure this is a small sampling and hopefully not representative of our biz, but there is a genuine lack of respect in all parts of society these days. Nothing is taboo and no one is immune. I know the internet is full of cowards and liars, but I thought there was still a line to be crossed...
