I can't believe its been years since I used my RM-P9 remote, but I have a client that wants me to shoot an interview on DigiBeta next month with the mayor. So I'm borrowing a 700 from a friend to shoot this thing. Now, since I'm sitting in Logan waiting on my flight I don't have either in front...

I was recommended by a colleague to help build an edit suite for a local company, I still don't know why I'm a cameraman and a A2 who happens to know just enough FCP to make a demo reel. Anyway, right now they have a mix of HDSDI, SDHDI and a mix of analog composite and YUV. If they would to...

Where can one pick up a older round lens hood for a Canon J13x9B4 (non-internal focus) At this point it doesn't have to be a Canon brand. Stupid me took it off while changing filters, put it down and it proceeded to roll into the street, where, well, ya know :o If anyone has one laying around...

The "What is your favorite "indispensable" tool in your run bag" thread got me thinking, with so many formats and cameras, who do you have packed in your run bag that you take with you. 90% of my clients are bicycle racing teams or companies, so I'm doing alot of walking or riding on the back...

My usual supplier of tape is out of 30min small SP stock and I need to pick up a few tapes on Saturday for a Sunday shoot. Does anybody know of any suppliers in the Atlanta area who are open on Saturday 10/4 and have 30 min tapes in stock? I'll even take some recycled stock at this point...

I was thinking of getting another PB cover and also outfit my new to me UVW-100B (backup cam) I've only used PortaBrace and have a bunch of stuff from them, and must say they have held...

BVW-75 Error Code... Help! - UPDATED 7/18 Today my '75 began displaying an error code-03 "reel trouble" when playing back tapes at 1x speed, this only happens when playing via the play button. I can play back 1x while in shuttle mode with no errors. In both modes the picture at top seems to be...

Somehow I managed to loose my cable for my VA-500. Does anybody know the Hirose part # for the connectors? I tried looking for them on the web and both the cable and connector are hard if not impossible to come by. Can anybody help me out? Or if you have a old cable your not using, and can part...

I just picked up a UVW-100 and Fuji 19x6.5 BERM Lens for $50. I know the history and other peoples views on this low-end piece. But for the price and low hours (less than 200 drum) I couldn't say no. I'm going to be using it as a backup to my 700 and a primary camera when I run into situations I...
