Might need to rent 4 mini's in LA can you get me contact info... Thanks

There doesn't seem to be many Vipers around... in the past I've rented from Plus 8 but since they're now Panavision.. the know longer have them... I know Camera House and Sim... but any body else...

Thanks guys... I'll find out today if its a 900 or a 900r... the guy who bought them... also purchased two sets of primes... then decided to go with two Vipers... and really this is this guys hobby... so talking about a film deal as well... keeping the old fingers crossed...

Is there any where you can down load certain look settings for the F900... I sent out a request to a couple of dp's I know... I'm not a dp.. but getting the chance to play around with one for a few weeks... so like I stated just wanted to play around and learn the camera more...

I'm like you... a friend and I drove to Vegas with two other guys a few years ago... stopped in Searchlight for a break... the two other guys were broke before my friend and I even found the head....

Tom as much as you want to bet... you better not go to Vegas... you'll be playing the tables instead of going to NAB... :lol:

So he's sold more cameras in one year than all these camera companies since they been making cameras?

Yes the old saying buyer beware... I wonder how many R1 owners have recouped their costs... I just wonder once the Scarlet is out and when the orders are filled... guess what we have a new camera... the Rhett... and then both the Scarlet, R1 and Epic will be Gone with the Wind.... yeah I know its an old joke... but it really applies... But could it backfire this JJ plan... because the people I know who really talk about the Red are not making a living making movies... they're the guy next door who dreams of doing so... and there is nothing wrong in that... but you might destory your fan base that way... just a thought... Should I add a disclaimer... I'm not pro or con on the Red... I just think its another tool...

So that was what the megaphone was for in the old days... I hope I got that right... :rolleyes:

Now makes you wonder... I see Red as a camera for the middle guy... if you can afford a set of $100k primes... you can afford the other highend cameras... I'm still on the fence... a friend and I emailed each other yesterday... and for the money.. the Red One seems to still be the package we both like... yes 2k for different frame rates and ramping... to me I would give up that 6k for the F35 Scarlet which only goes to 30 frames and stick with the Red One... See I like HD for the smaller films... those that go to HBO, Showtime, DVD... etc.. an unless it was a heavy ladden effects film... if I was doing a studio level film... I'd shoot film... Plus Tom... I thought I read that all Cooke did was print they're name in red... they're not custom made glass for Red...

I thought this was suppose to happen two NAB's ago...

I wouldn't of even known about this unless a friend sent an email... Just for fun... and I'm sure I missed a few things.... but went to Red... and discounted some things from their price list... but I hope we don't get tons of post saying its only a $2,500 camera at the entry level price.... and I'm not saying this is a bad thing... but its going to cost more than $2,500 Here is what I came up with... 1 Scarlet Body 2500 1 production pack 1250 1 view finder 2000 (listed at 2,950) 1 cf module 500 2 cf cards 1100 1 red power pack 1450 (charger with 2 bricks) 1 lens mount 500 1 audio module 1500 (a guess from the add on companies with the better jacks) 10800 Then if I went with the $7k S35 I think my friend said... add another $4,500 to that... $15,300... so with goodies that's cheaper than a Red 1... I must still be asleep.... or I'm missing something... except that you can buy the Red 1 today... like I said I could be missing something...

I know that certain parts of New Mexico... driving late at night or real early in the morning I've picked LA radio stations... Maybe the high antenna might work.... :lol:

Just found this for you.... on the v-20 Because its a fish eye.. most agree that its hard to tell how it flies... but they suggested the guy needs to play with the way he sets up the camera more... http://www.vimeo.com/1627231

I have a feelings its going to be neither... that its going to be the gold... just call them... they'll tell you over the phone which is best... Just hit the link to their site on the right side of the page...
