Shooting a Feature with a IIC revisited...

I'm not sure that I'm familiar with the details of the Cine-60 blimp. I think they're still in business in the Film Center Building on 9th Ave. in NYC. But any camera blimp is going to be heavy and unwieldy and generally a huge pain in the ass. It will not allow for modern lenses, it won't properly fit modern motors, there won't be a proper interface for a follow focus, there will not be an orientable eyepiece and the damn thing will weigh a ton. No matter how good a deal someone could get, a 2c setup with a blimp will end up running at least 6 grand to get going. I've seen Arri BL-1 packages going for as low as 8 grand, and it's so much more camera for the money.
