Anyone else tried to mount a pistol grip on a new Panasonic AJ-PX5000G? Panasonic redesigned the part of the camera where a Lisand Adjust-A-Grip goes. The new design doesn't allow the Adjust-A-Grip to be mounted. Anyone else run into this? Wishing Peter Lisand was still around.

Looks like I waited too long to buy one. Zylight told me on Twitter to "look for the ever popular Z90's successor this Fall". Seems strange they would discontinue the Z90 without putting out the new model?

The Panasonic people where at our station with the new HPX-600. I think it just came out last week. It has one 2/3 inch CMOS chip in it. The Panasonic reps say it can produce as good an image as the HPX-2000, which has 3 - 2/3 inch CCD's. Thoughts?

I can't get video to export from Edius onto a Sony PDW-530 camera. I'm trying to print to file and save the sequence as a clip in the camera via a firewire. Any suggestions?

Anyone shooting on XDcam and editing on Edius? Can you ingest faster than real-time from a camera (PDW-530) into a laptop (with Edius software) via a firewire? Also... is it possible to export back to the camera in IMX30? Thanks! Charles

I'm having a problem with my wireless transmitter and my shotgun mic. Both are brand new so I doubt the problem could be wear. The shotgun is a Beyerdynamic 86SII and the wireless system is a Lectrosonics UH 400A transmitter and a UCR401 receiver. The mic makes a crackling noise when you...

What does the little toggle switch on the mic do? I would guess one is a setting for more directional sound... if so, which is it?

I have an Anton Bauer Hytron 140. I put it on the charger and it says its "ready"... then I push the display button the battery says it is only 40% charged. I dont think it is a calibration problem, as it does not indicate that on the battery display. It also has a temperature problem... it...

Do the stations hire staff photogs or is it mostly freelancers? If they do hire staffers... is it even possible to be considered for the job if you don't know someone on the inside? Any other info would be appreciated...

Is it possible to get a bad black balance? I black balanced my camera and afterward the blacks were very crunched. I re-black balanced and things are good now. The stuff I shot before re-blacking look bad... the blacks are way too dark, there is no contrast.

Please excuse my ignorance, as I am not an engineer. I have some questions about Panasonic's P2 AJ-SPX800 camera that I hope someone can help me with. The factory matrix settings of the camera seem to have a washed out look. I want to adjust the matrix settings to bring out richer colors and...

Anyone know anything about this company?

Anyone want to sell a used Peter Lisand Adjust-A-Grip? I've been looking on Ebay with no luck.

Is -3db less grainy/noisy than 0db? Or does it just boost the black level?

I have an Anton Bauer Ultralight 2 on my Sony SX DNW-9WS camera. The light has a 12v 20w bulb in it and works fine. I tried to put a 12v 42w bulb in it and it does not work. Why is this? Is there an internal setting I can change to make the 42w bulb work? Please excuse my ignorance on this...

Anyone have any experience with Century's x.7 and the x.5 fixed wide angle lens adapter set? What are your likes and dislikes? I'm considering spending some cash and would like to hear some reviews.

The NPPA needs some new quarterly clip award catagories for TV news photographers... here is what I propose. -Best at eating a burger, while driving with your knees, while reading a map, hauling a$$ to spot news award. -Best scanner ear award. -General news story (shot with crappiest reporter...

Any B-Rollers out there familiar with Dedolights? Specifically using it to project an image on the background of interviews... if so, How do you like it? How much did it cost? ...

Went to a double suicide the other day. Two students made a suicide pact and killed themselves. As soon as our desk found out it was suicide... it was not a story. My question is how many people have to kill themselves before it becomes newsworthy? The wacky cult "Heavens Gate" where many...
