  1. Any news on Sergey? any resolution's on OP's issue?
  2. Thanks! i did got this on FB but never the less if you pay by PayPal and if you buy using "pay for Goods" you are covered; to the extent. lets say he wont send it or it gets lost, it is automatic but in this case problem is because i am saying its not OK and he is saying its perfect and what PayPal complaint department know about Follow Focus?! I got evaluation form Oconnors service center so this will put stop to his claims. OC is asking 1000+$ for parts + hours for repair and tax. I hope it will be OK at the end but it is just huge hustle and waist of time. Someone decides that he wants to pull quick one and then you get stuck in this pickle. but that is life. thanks thanks
  3. Hello folks I am having little trouble and i would love your input. recently i got used Oconnor CFF1 form 1AC and IATSE600 member. I was told unit is in excellent shape , no issues at all. well i received it and its far form good. well i was told that i am incompetent and that i dont understand how Follow Focus works and therefor he wont be accepting returns. After 2 tecks, one rental, several colleagues, gave me opinion that is in sync with my impressions of this FF unit, seller is still saying same old thing: This is just fine and i wont take returns due to buyers remorse... please take a look at the video and tell me your opinion, if you have you bought this FF advertised as "excellent condition" and if you received this, would you return it? would you feel bad for asking your money back? thanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5crXXHF8Mk
  4. i am looking for Arri ICS-1 complete and working kit with SFHC-1. please let me know if you have one for sale l.sanader@gmail.com
  5. we gamble sometimes, sometimes it works and sometimes you just have to pay life tax. this ting with Sergey sucks but i hope he will come around, as he always did in past. several years back there was a big mess with some Anamorphics but that resolved as well, if i remember correctly. in the past i got several things form him as far as 2009, never a problem once. i had more problems with lens shop in CA that is now "industry standard" and that i made PayPal claim in order to get them to send my stuff back to me... i know its pain in the neck, but hopefully you will get your stuff and you wont do more biz with him. life go's on
  6. I just got mail form Sergey, apparently he had accident, brooked several ribs and was in hospital... well i have no ongoing deals woth him and he answered my email, telling me this before i asked any questions. i "know" him for a long time now and he was allways more then correct with me. just some facts

    Hasselmax

    Main advantage is a size and ability to mount a camera. We mounted that rig on a car and had drive thru city shoot; also some extreme angles and so on… P25+ back is borderline but even P40+ is more then enough for an 8k. With P65 we will be more then fine. Hasselblad is square format but chip on P65+ is 53.9 x 40.4 mm ratio is 4:3. The only problem is a max speed of 1fps not an image quality. This was by far best digital image result projected on big screen that I had and it would be fantastic if we could do more then 1fps… in a couple of years I hope! Our film has a lot of animation and in any case we have to do a digital print. I don’t think it is going to jump, based on what I saw in tests but as soon as I see test print I would be able to report on this. Thanks for your interest

    Hasselmax

    We are in a pre production of an 3D Imax film and this strange rig is discovery of the month for us it looks strange but it really works good. We “made” this little rig just for test and it instantly proved that is an alternative for timelaps and stop motion. Next step is to build fully adjustable telemetric mount for cameras (intraocular and convergence), make a housing and battery plant for long usage. Image quality of phaseone p25+ digital back is terrific and with this resolution we are almost in range; 5436 x 4080 pixels. Plan is to try new PhaseOne P65+ backs and get best possible image in 8984 x 6732 pixels only problem is availability of the backs. Lenses that we used this time Zeiss Distagon 40mm and Sonnar 180mm are up to the task and we didn’t have a big difference in the eyes. Interesting trivia is that almost same rig (Hasselblad 500EL camera) was used by Apollo mission on Moon; no digital backs at that time! Workflow is bit hard but that is life… I will upload some samples soon Thanks and I hope this will help someone in future. Luka
  9. Thanks it worked! I also talked to Ken Stone and he is really cool fellow; now I just need to build a cable 12/24v xlr4 to xlr3 cable and to test the rig! Thanks for the help.

    Fries R35

    Hello, I just got my self in to a Mitchell! Coning from other side of Atlantic this is my first new camera experience in brave new world. Camera is Fries r35 with variable sector, Nikon mount, Noris motor, controller (scg300) and capping shutter. I would like to get a Fries Manual can anyone help me with this. Thanks
  11. ha, if you are looking for BL4S or Evo then yes but Arricam c'mon man this is Montreal :) best bet is to go with Michel Trudel and order them from TO... I hope this helps :(
  12. Hi everyone, I am looking for Elite Mk III set for rent in Toronto, so I was hoping that someone hire can point me I right direction. Thanks,
  13. Hi, compact has excellent optical system in my opinion and I had good experience with it. It is completely modular and easy to setup. Viewfinders are interchangeable between compact and SL (there is optical adapter plate). SL handheld finder is darker but it is really small and compact. I used SL with compact finder and MovieGlow and also with SL optics. Eyepiece and extension tube are mounted via Leica M mount, so it is even faster to interchange then Arri. Last time that I shoot with Super was in ?99 so I cant really remember it, but in my opinion Compact/SL system is bright, lit and cinematographer friendly. I hope that this is helpful.
  14. Couple year?s back, I set eyes on semi ?plastic? IIC. It had composite material custom build door and whole side cover. Small motor (revolution style) was mounted via inching knob and camera had SLcine mag. Guy was flying that camera on EFP. Only impression that I remember is that camera looked super fragile and loud as hell (that doesn?t matter but?). Whole modification job looked expensive and fancy, and I guess it wasn?t cheap. Seams a lot of money for just couple hundred grams of reducing weight. But what do I know; am not a Steadicam operator; probably when you take 300 grams and multiply that with 10 hovers, on your lower back, every gram matters.
  15. Hmm, spectra series II is bit smaller, I have to try sphere from IV. This globe holds together but it has crack, and it is just matter of time. Am hoping that someone here has good knowledge of this meter. Thanks
