Greeting all, I have a Micro P2 adapter. I'm using it in my Panasonic HPX3100. As the manual indicates, I am in AVC-Intra 50 mode and using cards with at least 95 megabit/sec data rate, one is a PNY64 gig and Lexar 128 gig is the other one. Neither works, the "format" page in the thumbnail...

Greetings folks. I'm currently still shooting on my HDX900 tape camera with a Nano Flash and I also have a Sony C300. I am thinking about retiring my HDX900 and maybe moving on to a Sony FS7. I know that the camera has an HD-SDI output and that I could use it for ENG and live shots. Some of...

How do you get IFB into your LiveU? My guess is a completely different setup, apart from the unit, just a cell phone with an 1/8 inch stereo audio headphone extension cable with an earpiece plugged into the end? I also have the following to boost signal to possibly do a wireless IFB...

Okay, Here is the deal. For network news shoots, I am still using a Panasonic HDX900 with a Nano Flash, mainly due to it's 2/3 inch sensor. I also still have a Panasonic HPX370 1/3 inch sensor camera, but with a top of the line 1/3 inch lens with a doubler. I use it for any FOX news/sports...

Greetings all, I am self-employed, as most of you are. I have learned the hard way that it's not easy to get a mortgage in my situation. For the last two years, I have taken very big deductions on my taxes in the business expenses category. So, my Schedule C shows that I am dirt poor on...

Anyone have suggestions for screw or clamp on wide angle adapters? Need to fit an 82mm filter diameter. I bought a 16x9 adapter, but I got vignetting on my 18x7.6 lens. Looking for a zoom through that doesn't have this problem. Thanks!

Greetings fellow b-rollers! I am thinking about a 2K/4K camera. I was originally looking at a Sony F5, (as I was renting an F3 with Fuji Cabrio lenses on a semi-regular basis), but I am seeing the Sony FS7 as becoming hugely popular (just like the C300 was a top rental 3 years ago) I am really...

I have a Rhino slider. It can support up to 70 lbs. I need a head with a flat base, Rhino suggests the Manfrotto502 HD. Would this support a decked out C300 with an ENG lens or a full sized ENG camera? I have a feeling the head would not be able to support this kind of weight. Are there any...

Okay, I have a question: I have a Panasonic HDX900 with a 2/3" B4 mount 17x lens with doubler. I have the exact same lens, but a 1/3" format on my HPX370 camera as well. I have seen someone put a 2/3" wide angle on the 370 using the B4 step down adapter, you don't gain any wide because you...

Litepanels Sola 6 vs. Astra Hi all, I am currently using the following setup for live shots: Dracast 1x1 single color LED panels 1 200w Bron "Reporter Light" HMI I was looking at a used 400w Kobold HMI that a friend had for sale, for $1,700. I am kicking myself for not jumping on it, now...

Hi all, I have noticed this across all scene files that I use with my Panasonic HDX900, that there is too much red. Could this be a camera issue?

Okay, so I am a freelancer, I was in an accident couple of years ago, gave cop my I.D. AND media badge, media badge was Tarrant County Sheriffs Dept. EXPIRED one, he never gave it back to me, just gave me back my I.D. Called Tarrant County sheriffs Dept. now they PIO says freelancers don't need...

Has anyone had any kind of issue with the Alphatron and using it with a 4K camera at all? I just heard of some issues in customer reviews with 4K cameras, but I don't see why you would need 4K in your EVF, even if you are shooting 4K, HD with focus peaking seems like it would work fine, no? Is...

Has any one used this adapter on a C300 or FS7 or FS700? It says you have to use the doubler, so I would really hate to lose any wide on my ENG lens. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/854167-REG/MTF_Services_Ltd_mtb4sem_B4_2_3_to_Sony.html/?gclid=CJPgzKaL0MgCFQaTaQod1D0HQw Here is a video...

Okay, So I own a couple Canon cameras and a couple Panasonic cameras. I'm primarily using these, but sometimes rent an EX3/EX1 camera. My Z1U is getting long in the tooth (stopped shooting on it for clients about 2 years ago) I just have it in my car all the time in case I want to grab some...
