  1. just tungsten film shot in daylight with no correction, i would guess
  2. unless you need the scene to be dramatic the white walls are fine. You could just us a clip on reflector flood (from a hardware store) bounced off one of walls outside the frame. I think the iphone does better with daylight balanced sources, so try a higher output LED daylight bulb in it (100w equivalent or more. (You could also use an LED par30 or such instead of the reflector)
  3. Hi Duncan, most of those questions i can't answer but I'll send more photos that you can post (i did hit the limit here)
  4. I'm trying to find what a reasonable value is for this Eclair NPR Super16 package. In nice condition and running PL and C mount Tobiin crystal motor TXM-14 Video tap the good Angie viewfinder 3 mags Canon c mount adapter and 50mm, rods 2 bescor battery belts (won't hold charge)) 2 pellican cases I'm in NE Pennsylvania
  5. i'd suggest looking at a rental house website for the contents of a grip package. Just copy it and you'll have everything that's most useful and marketable. as far as lights, the standard items will always work for you (that's why they are standards ? ) I understand wanting your own preferences instead, just know that there will be times you won't rent or get hired because of it
  6. Don't get the Road Flags, you want flags ready to go, not have to assemble them. Lights should go on light stands, not C stands. you are getting a truck?
  7. ...my question is whether there is a specific standardised system for setting something like this up? you mentioned it already. a 2K blonde into the frame will work, or a 600 LED COB. Or as others have mentioned some large mats through difusion (even better becaause it will be more even) Are there other limitations at play here?
  8. a 600w COB instrument will give you about a 2K tungsen equivalent. when you say tweaking the bounces, is it because you're usng multiple smaller lights?
  9. maybe it fits right on a riser tube instead of a pin?...
  10. the slider itself is pretty heavy to begin with. I guess limiting the overhang with the 2' version would help. I would consider removing the half ball and mounting flat to the tripod bowl
  11. I use a Flyking 3' which i'm pretty happy with, but it really should be on mitchell base. 100mm might work with a light camera, but definitely not 75mm.
  12. Yes I would definitely suggest OConnor. Maybe one of the small DV heads.
  13. that Sachtler should be pretty smooth. Was it the head or were the sticks wobbly? What focal length were you testing? If the camera rig is well under 10 pounds it should be ok on a 75 mm ball you can easily put one end of the 3 foot slider on sticks and the other end on a monopod. The slider frame just needs to be stiff enough to resist twisting at that end.
  14. it's mostly easy to adapt anything 75mm to 100mm bowl.... I have a Vinten 2 stage 100mm bowl tripod that is very small compact and light- i don't know what model number it is though. as far as heads go maybe look at Libec - i have an old one that is compact and pretty smooth -true fluid. you can also use a monopod to support the other end of a slider. what length are you looking at?
