  1. David Ruck started following Is wetting down a street feasible for a no-budget shoot? What exactly is involved?, Sachtler Speed Lock HD Tripod - 100mm, Sachtler Cine 30 HD Tripod and 5 others

    Included: • 5590 Speed Lock CF HD Tripod • 7007 Mid-Level Spreader • 7004 Rubber Feet (x3) The tripod is in good condition, and the legs extend and retract with ease. It includes the mid-level spreader and feet which are all almost new. The only small issue is that the carry handle is damaged as you can see in the photo (they always seem to break on these things). If you'd like, I can even remove the handle for you. Located in Phoenix, but willing to ship within the US if the buyer pays to ship. $1500

    Sachtler Cine 30 HD fluid head, Sachtler 150 EFP 2 CF 150mm carbon fiber tripod, and Sachtler heavy duty floor spreader. The head carries up to 77 pounds, which is incredible, but It's not a capability that I need anymore. It includes a rolling tuffpak tripod case and custom padded hard case for the head. The head also has a viewfinder extension adapter and a front box adapter. It has normal wear and tear as you can see in the photos, but the tripod is in perfect working order. I just went through all of the drag settings to make sure that they engage properly and have the appropriate dra

    Hi David. Some of the visuals of the piano destruction look very nice. I really like the closeup destruction shots, but I didn't feel compelled to keep watching the video. It just didn't engage me personally. It feels like it takes a little too long to get started when the girls reach the piano and are prepping to destroy it. Maybe if the intro were a little more mysterious and drawn out, that could have helped. Like if the first visual was a close up of the axe heads dragging over the leaves, then we see these girls that look angry walking through a field like they're going to murder som

    FS: Sachtler 5390 heavy duty carbon fiber tripod. It features a 100mm bowl, and it supports up to 210 lb. It also includes the heavy duty floor spreader. This tripod weighs just a little bit more than the standard Sachtler CF tripod, but it’s WAY stiffer with it’s beefier legs. It's in great condition, but it does have scratches which are to be expected with a used tripod. The built in handle at the top of the tripod is in rough shape as you can see in the photo, but other than that, it’s functioning perfectly. Asking $1500 Located in Phoenix, but willing to ship within the US if the buye

    Okay, thanks. I don't think I want to mess around with getting them reblocked, so they're not for me. I might be interested in the Oconnor head. Hopefully you can get the photos posted.

    What frequency block are the Lectrosonics transmitters?
  14. David Ruck
    While it looks to be a really great price for what you get, you have to remember it's made by Blackmagic. They don't have a great track record as far as I'm concerned, and they've let me down more than once with buggy equipment. Also, it doesn't have basic professional features that I would expect in a camera. For one, it only outputs video with HDMI or USB, so no thanks. And while it records ProRes internally, it only records ProRes up to 4K. If it does turn out to be a stable and reliable camera, I'm sure it will work out to be great for a lot of lower-budget stuff, but I'm not sure it'

    What you consider to be a small patch of street might be different than what I consider to be a small patch of street. Even if you're shooting on a narrow side street, but you're shooting down the length of the street, you may have a difficult time keeping the length of road wet on your own with a small crew on a no-budget shoot. On the other hand, if you're shooting across a narrow street and only about 40-50' of width would be visible, you may be able to accomplish this if you have access to water on site. I might ordinarily recommend a water truck for this purpose, but considering

    So true. I've done some color grading on internally recorded GH5 footage and GH5 footage that was recorded on an external recorder. Night and day difference! Now, if you could only record externally without the need for HDMI on one of those little cameras. I hate the user interface of the GH5, A7, etc., but they really do make a pretty picture, and they give you a ton of flexibility shooting in log. For a while, I rolled my eyes at shooting on DSLR, but these days I think you really need to ask yourself if you can honestly justify jumping to something like an FS7 depending on the type of
