The online footage certainly does not impress me. I do not think any of us can properly evaluate what this camera is capable of by viewing a highly compressed QT movie on a computer monitor. I need to see it blown up!!

I've never used it personally, but I've heard that Aaton cameras are very good for handheld documentary style work. Perhaps someone else could verify or refute this?

What format are you shooting with?

Using filters with x-processed film offers a lot of interesting and unpredictable results. I once x-processed Kodak Color Infrared reversal film. Which is basically a normal color chrome, with some bizarre color-coupler added for the infrared sensitive layer.

I have the catalog in front of me: Mini-flo 12" 79 FC @ 1' 24 FC @ 2' 11 FC@ 3' Mini-Flo 9" 85 FC @ 1' 23 FC @ 2' 10.5 FC@ 3'

Did I understand correctly that T8 bulbs fit will fit in Kinos?

I've used a 400W Joker bug w/ a chimera attached to the hood using a suction-cup hood mount for this purpose. It worked great. Just make sure to have plenty of battery packs because it will suck them fast.

The Sheep Shank is a good knot to use for a Trucker's Hitch. It grabs onto itself, and comes out very easily.
