There are already devices out there that allow you to sit in a chair and make those shots and not have to hold the camera... There is a few of them...

Rickshaw, Action Dolly, Golf Carts with a piece of speed rail running across the braces, Segways, and ATV's your not inventing something new...

Plus you still havent showed us the device...

still pretty shaky... your rig or maybe just you can't hold the horizon...

From what I saw there is no timecode as well... I understand that they want to keep it small and cheap but why make an expansion connection that I can add all those "pro" features (ie xlr audio inputs, timecode, usb connection for a mini bluetooth keyboard for metadata input, etc) I think that would make this a "real" camera that totally usable in the field with multi able cameras...

Just a thought.

sorry my misunderstanding...

Go get em' Brian, they are a bunch of job thieves! And they are right in your own country, never mind Canada:

R,

Louisiana. According to this article, Louisiana paid out 231 million in state subsidies to the film industry in 2012.

According to this budget report, Louisiana had a 25 billion dollar budget.

That equals .00924 percent of the budget AND the State is getting some or most of that money back depending on who you talk too.

 

In the above article slamming the tax credit we get this all too familiar quote:

 

"It'll be a way for Louisiana to reinvest in education and health care and other areas that have really suffered over the past four years from consecutive budget cuts."

 

Hmmmm...a .00924 percent budget cut is really going to make any kind of difference in the Health Care and Education? PLUS other areas???? I don't think so.

 

This is all hyperbole and propoganda. Keeping the readers in the weeds, but no perspective from the big picture. Let's get honest here and quit with the hidden agendas.

Richard are you calling people that live in Louisiana job stealers?

And Pat do you live in Louisiana? Do see what the film industry has done for the area?

I guess I should have said that I wanted to make block batteries... So I would love to use Lead Acid Cells. I would also like to a battery meter inline that you can see.

I was thinking of making my on camera batteries??

I am looking to make some "pre-made" tape labels for DVCpro-50 tapes, MiniDV tapes, Beta / HDCAM, or whatever other tapes are out there.

What are people using for these? When I was an assistant I used those avery labels but forgot / lost the numbers of the label patterns. Does anyone have them???

Easier then the stock labels that come in the tape.

Thanks.....

That seems pretty hard to tread Can you do it in the bag or the dark room?

I have started making sandbags and overheads in my downtime.

 

PM if you are interested in any.

 

20lb sandbags $25

35lb sandbags $45

 

I am also doing recovers and repairs. Since I am in the southeast, I can help with shipping some.

Are you selling the bags filled?
