Hey Guys I am a Focus Puller and Loader from Melbourne Australia and I have 3 BFD's, with M1 and Heden motors. I have taken these on many shoots all over Australia, and never had any negative feedback about the system. DOP's love it because I just hand over the Iris unit and they can happily pull iris, while i am still pulling focus. (This option is avaiblable with the Preston but costs $6000 ish, which is similar to a BFD kit). Other Focus Pullers love its simplicity. Producers love the cost. These are ticks in all the right boxes in my opinion. JP Melbourne Australia

Hey Guys I have been reading the forums for a while now, and I have a shoot next week with Sony's HDCam 750 camera, and wanted to know if there are any little hints or tricks that you guys know about that may be useful. All those little annoying things that we come across with every camera after using it for a while, any of these that you would have with this camera would be fantastic to know about before testing the camera properly for myself. If anyone knows any do's and dont's also with this camera that would be fantastic. Thanks in advance for your help. James Puli Melbourne Australia

Hi all I was just wondering about my SamCine Mk 2 Calculator and how it relates to newer video and HD lenses rather then just film lenses. Does it give accurate DOF calculations with video and HD lenses or are there formulas you can use so that it does? Not that it matters with video as much as it does with film but if the SamCine calc doesnt give an external DOF reading (for video and HD) are there calculators that do? Thanks James Puli JP Film, TV and AV Melbourne Australia
