hi there, I love this forum, and have another question to experienced users. I am looking for a flicker box which has a function to flicker between the output channels. That means when one light is off another (random) one in the array goes on. Or is that automaticly included with for example a campfire preset (where the shadows are moving)? I guess moving shadows are only possible through switching between lights.. found this one, bit expensive though. Maybe there's cheaper ones. http://www.filmandvideolighting.com/magashflbox.html Also what kind of plug is that? is there any with normal 220 v european plugs (german)? and also which watt does it operate with. can you usually plug anything from 60 watts to 5k? sorry for the basic questions, I'm not so much into electricity. thanks everyone!

HA, that's the one I was looking for! perfect.. and they might even fit in one of those plastic underwater camera bags. thanks to everyone.

ah nice. looks a bit bulky though, since I'm travelling and never am more than one year on one place, it might be a bit too big. also I cannot imagine a underwaterhousing for this one.. :( and price should be under 2k. I once saw a highspeed 16mm with 500fps for 1k on ebay, but I forgot the name and failed to buy it :( though that would be too much for me 60-150 fps is perfect.

actually this one looks nice too. it kinda looks exactly what I am searching for. but why is it that cheap for mint condition? would you gus recommend buying that? http://www.rockycameras.com/beaulieu-r16-special-zoom-professional-cine-camera-cw-75mm-14-c-mount-lens-14999-23502-p.asp

hey ppl.. some questions raised in the last few month whilst reading and searchin the net. I am planning on shooting a short - but since I don't want to go for dslr quality and probably having issues with de-wobbeling the rolling shutter on high open aperture I want to call a 16 mm my own. I've looked through the bolex cameras and like the way I can just film with 24fps and up to 64fps. that's exactly what I am looking for. Is there any alternatives on which I might also get really good lenses? No doubt there are nice c-mount lenses out there, but maybe there's a small handy 16mm with pl mount? keep in mind I need high speed opportunity. also I want to go underwater and therefore when filming 64fps I might need a 1.2 or 0.95 lens to get the stock litten well, therefore the camera should be small. One important thing though aswell is portability - is it easy to travel as regular economy passenger with a 16mm camera in lets say a pelican 1600 case? (http://pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1600) ah and last but not least. I have never filmed 16mm - is it worth kicking dslrs and going for expensive film roll and fullhd scans? I have to admit - the dslr is not anough quality for me and the images look flat and don't satisfy me.. But maybe I'm wrong? with 16mm can I also do a 4k scan? thanks for answering my questions.
