  1. What tripod would you recommend? I wanted to be on the safe side because I have a rex-5 which is about 6 pounds and a vario switar which is around 2 and a half.
  2. Is there a good handheld gimbal for this camera? Also what Tripod would you recommend? Would a Manfrotto 057 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/754161-REG/Manfrotto_MT057C4_4_Section_Carbon_Fiber_Tripod.html and 502 Flathead suffice?
  3. I've noticed that ARRI lists the safe distance for their ARRI 300W tungsten as 1-2 meters. Does that mean it's dangerous to be close to the ARRI even if it's facing away? How hot is it within a meter of it? If it's too close to a wall or curtain or makes contact could that ignite a fire? Also are two arri 300W enough to light a small room?
  4. So, from what I understand the best quality for indoor film is Kodak 200T, at a smaller aperture like F/6 or F/8. But what I don't understand is which ARRI Tungsten lights do I have to buy so that will be bright enough at 3200k and 24 flood light level. Let's say I have 2 of them. One for the foreground and one for backlight. Does that change the calculation? What if there's some outdoor light coming in through the curtains? I know T Film isn't designed for that kind of light so should I try to block out all light coming into the house? I don't understand how to calculate how to get the 200 ISO with the aperture and shutter speed. I know the shutter speed is naturally at 130 Degrees (giving 1/65 sec at 24 fps). Does that mean for 200 ISO. I would need an EV around 8.0, 1/65 and aperture of F/2.8? And for 200 ISO. I would need an EV around 9.0, for 1/64 and an aperture of F/6.3? But what's also confusing about the Bolex is that there are the RX lens and the regular lens. Are RX lens better? Does using them mean I don't have to calculate the 25% that is lost? Please help me understand this
