Hey all, Our production company purchased this lens set secondhand in hopes of using for a specific set up we were doing. Long story short, it turns out this wasn’t going to work with the set up we needed and we need to sell this to recoup costs. all lenses are in great condition. Front and back elements are clean and has imperceptible blemishes on the bodies themselves. This set retails for 28,000 + tax and shipping. The person we purchased it from sold it to us for 24k. I’m looking to sell this for 22,000 flat, local pick up only. Considering that Atlas just increased prices on a few lenses and that this set is in great condition, this is a steal. If I had the money, I’d buy it in a heartbeat, but alas, I do not. I’m based in LA, and I really only will be able to sell locally. Attached are images of the lenses. -Justin images can be seen in following dropbox link https://www.dropbox.com/s/bgvo46shydvnt1b/Photo Jun 04 2023%2C 3 58 24 PM.jpg?dl=0

Hey Phil, Sounds good. Thanks for your input. For the most part, I think we'd just on/off it. No dimming specifically, but definitely creating a pattern through DMX to make it flicker. One question regarding ballasts.... if we just wanted to use our current 4-bank ballasts to control just one bulb that is attached, that shouldn't be a problem, correct? -Justin

Sounds good. I was looking for ways to do it without needing harnesses or single bulb ballasts, but it seems it needs that. Your idea might be better!

Hey guys, So I have a project coming up that sounds really cool but I'm not sure how to do it. Looking for ideas on how it'd work, if at all. So the visual idea is that we would have floating kino bulbs rigged from a light grid over a cyc. We'd have dozens of these bulbs in a randomized layout but the pattern of the bulbs would fluctuate towards the center of a given area, where a subject would be standing. The bulbs would be oriented vertically and would like to be DMX'd for individual bulb control. Currently, we have about 16 4bank 4ft Kino lights rigged on the grid. They all have their specific DMX address attached to the ballast located above each light. Any ideas on how it'd work? If not, any other ideas on getting the same effect? Are there any pieces or parts we need to get to make it happen like a bulb contact extender? Look forward to your responses. Thanks!

Well, thanks for the advice, nonetheless. Even though you think I wasted your time, your responses still were helpful.

Safety is absolutely key. I'm not hoping to put a high end DC camera on there. Like I said to JD, I do have a grip team that will be rigging. I mean, if you feel the Go Pro way is the best way to go about, I will send that to my director. I was hoping to use something with better compression and DR but I'm not going to risk anyone's safety because of it. As I stated, I was hoping to see if anyone who has rigged a lot had any ideas so I can share that with my team. Most of the videos I've seen mainly included the action cam rigs that you've mentioned or a completely custom-designed chassis that allowed high end cameras on a gimbal, which is obviously not what I'm planning on.

Well, I should've mentioned, I do have a grip team. Just not a UK one. And they are good. But the reason why I made this thread in the first place is just to gather ideas from other people who may have rigged motorcycles before so I can possibly transfer some ideas to them. I'm not the one rigging it personally. I've overseeing the rigging. I made this thread hoping to see if other people had experience with this.

I'm just looking for ideas, bud. So generalities help a ton. This set up would be a very new thing to me, so seeing what the earlier posts have provided helped me on how I want to rig it. But I literally just got the pics for the motorcycle. https://www.instagram.com/p/w7gqNmsnAF/ https://www.instagram.com/p/pFEEuIsnKm/ I can't really make out the model/year outside of it being a honda. It looks relatively small and lightweight. My hope is to rig something like a 1DX like the pics Edward showed with the Magic Arm. Bear in mind, the motorcycle is in the UK while I'm planning this here in LA.

Fair enough. But even when you're a DP working with your key grip, i'm sure a rig set up or two sticks, especially considering your points, no? I'm not opposed to sticking a go-pro on a sticky mount. I'm just seeing if there are other ways with higher end cameras.

Our budget cannot afford a UK grip and at the same time, I'm here to learn. It helps if you have input on the topic...

Located in LA, but our shoot where our motorcycle footage will be shot is in Bedfordshire, UK.

I love this idea. He's even able to use the larger DSLRs on this rig, which is really encouraging. I'll look into this. Thanks!

Thank you for this comprehensive explanation! I will want to look into the rig you have set up. It seems GoPro may be the way to go. I was hoping I could use like a lightweight DSLR like a Sony A7S, but if you can't even get a BMPCC to provide the same results, then I'm not convinced the A7S would work either. However, I was wondering... have you have tried using a gimbal to resist against vibration? I was thinking something like an OSMO or some of the handheld gimbals like the Ikan Beholder. Thoughts?

Hi guys, my first post here! Anyway, I'm DPing a short and we're needing to rig a camera on a motorcycle. Ideally, we're trying to keep the look very snorricam-like, where there is a relatively wide angle of view. I've never done any set ups that required rigging a camera in front of a bike. Does anyone have any solid set ups that's also affordable? Our budget is relatively tight. But I'd love to do more than just a go pro on a sticky mount. Let me know your thoughts! best, Justin
