I am planning to buy monitor which I am gonna use with different cameras.So I need something universal monitor which gonna work with Blackmagic, Canon, Sony, Red cameras.They should have color accuracy closer to cameras monitor and of course touchscreen.Please share which one you would recommend and which one do you using right now.

I am just curious, is there any websites which allow to purchase camera, lenses, video accessories in cryptocurrency?

Which are the still lenses for Tokina 11-20mm ATX and Tokina 50-135mm ATX As we know Sigma cine zoom lenses are made from the same glass as Sigma's 18-35 and 50-100mm still lenses have. So question is this, does Tokina Cinema 11-20mm T2.9 ATX and Tokina 50-135mm T2.9 Mark II Cinema ATX lenses are made from same glass as their still versions? If yes can you tell me the full name of that still version? Because there are ton of tokina still lenses and i couldn't figure out or you can share a b&h,amazon link. I am just doing some research, thanks.

How can i get/download Arri SkyPanel (S60-C) Led LIght Scanned Filter Gel Pack?

Hi i am using Saramonic UwMIC9 96-channel digital UHF wireless microphone system, which includes 2x TX9 bodypack transmitter and RX9 portable receiver. Problem is that both of my RX9 receivers record volume in a different level during video interviews when i record 2 people at the same time and my wish is to equalize both receivers recording level at the same height. I even make myself tests when i read same text with both receivers but receiver with Group B at 556.510Mhz was low and Group A with 514.560Mhz was much higher. I have checked all the settings on the receivers and they are the same, but i don't understand why during recording interviews of people both receivers record volume in a different level. Any advice will be helpful, thanks.

Suggest best monitor options for BMPCC6K which will allows me to change camera settings by touchscreen through that monitor.

i think it will be interesting for you to see this video

Here are some BMPCC6K Rigging ideas.

I am agree with you that the ideal from the list is Sigma, besides that they are the sharpest ones as well, but the price is for me to high. That's why i was thinking to purchase rehoused Sigma art zooms into cine by cinematics. As you may know Sigma cine zooms and Sigma Art zooms have the same glass, that's why i can prefer rehoused version which will cost 2-3 times cheaper. Here's the lenses which i am talking about:

Which one would you prefer and why?1. DZOFilm Pictor Cine Zoom 20-55mm and DZOFilm Pictor Cine Zoom 50-125mm T2.8 S35 (PL Mount and EF Mount), price 2300$ and 2490$2. Venus Optics OOOM 25-100 T2.9 Cine Lens (PL Mount), price 5000$3. Fujinon MK 18-55 T2.9 and Fujinon MK 50-135 T2.9 (E Mount, EF mount will be available soon), price 3300$ and 3500$4. Tokina Cinema ATX 11-20mm T2.9 , Tokina 25-75mm T2.9 , Tokina 50-135mm T2.9 Mark II (PL Mount, EF Mount, ...), price 2200$, 5800$, 3500$5. Sigma Cine Zoom 18-35mm T2 and Sigma Cine Zoom 50-100mm T2 (PL Mount, EF Mount, ...), price each cost 4000$6. Rehoused by Cinematics Sigma Still lenses into Cine Zoom 18-35mm T2 S35 and 50-100mm T2 S35(PL Mount, EF Mount), price 1500$ and 1900$

Hi, Is anyone heard about this company or bought from them lenses which is located in China ? www.pchood.com Mostly interested with their modified into cine sigma art zoom lenses http://www.pchood.com/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=sigma+&category_id=0&product_id=356 http://www.pchood.com/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=sigma+&category_id=0&product_id=359

Hey, i want to know your thoughts considering does Blackmagic planning to announce in 2020/21 a successor of a bmpcc6k camera?

I agree that for professions it's not serious to buy gear from grey market, because you and others as well are getting payed pretty well from different projects, so you need to be sure that the gear which you have and use has a factory warranty and you have purchased it from authorized dealer for not having any issues and etc... But there is a sector of people who wants to make a risk and buy more gear with less price for a long time shooting, because they don't earn enough money like professions which will allow them to do like you.

Did you bought a camera or lens on this online stores? If yes which are the pros and cons? Does any of them has a shop to go their and physically choose and test the camera or lenses? https://www.e-infin.com/ww/ http://eglobalcentral.eu https://panamoz.com https://slrhut.co.uk https://www.hdewcameras.co.uk https://www.lensauthority.com https://www.camerajungle.co.uk https://usedphotopro.com https://www.keh.com

If so, any item above of 200 euro i need to pay 15% tax. It's better and cheaper to buy physically instead of shipping.

Because in Yerevan we don't have Canon, Sony, Red and other companies authorized dealers or just a dealers our market is very small and majority of here's cinematographers/videographers go to Dubai, others go to US or Europe to buy their desires gear and bring back or asking friends to bring one of the item during travelling from US/EU or Dubai to Yerevan or if the item price is not high they buy online. For me the best place to buy is B&H but it's too far i won't go NYC.

In late this summer i'm planning to buy camera (Canon R5 / Sony A7IV (if it will be announced) / Red Komodo), RF lenses and different accessories for one of that cameras. So i need to travel to one of the european cities like London, Berlin or ... or to Dubai to purchase them directly from Canon shop or specific brand representatives or large markets specialised in selling video equipment. As you are more experienced in purchasing camera gear so from where would you suggest me to purchase in which city of the Europe and or in Dubai? Please if there is specific shop, store add their website, thanks.

sure, so which gel filters can be the best ones for CTO / CTB (Rosco / Lee or) ?

very interesting, so what do you think does 300d ii with his brightnest is enough for you're documentaries? Or you gonna buy/rent when 600d will be available? as 300d ll is a daylight with 5600k (+/-200 - how i know), for getting closer to tungsten do you use gels? If yes tell which one you use and which Kelvin do you get?

Ok i see about mark i light, yes you're right i am planning to rent those lights and understand which one i will choose. I didn't heard it before that flexible lights need to be sent back and repaired very often, but i suppose that it's very possible. Sure intellytech's would be more useful and no leds would be damaged, so they will last longer. Is there any online store like ebay with more oriented on a used video/photo lights ?

Which are the best or affordable batteries and chargers for V-Mounts? 1. for using on lights (Aputure 300di/120dii,, forza 300/500, fotodiox factor prizmo 150/300, intellytech 160, arri s60c) 2. for charging cine cameras(Red, Canon c200/500, Alexa mini,) and mirrorless (S1H, ...) I understand that each light or camera need's specific voltage, that's why for some lights it should be this one for the others that one..., but you can suggest such a versions which will work good on any lights and cameras for long time.

I was renting Fotodiox 300RGB (actual price 2000$) , that one can be called as a competitor for s60 by my opinion. Watch this review, i guess it can be helpful for you.

I am gonna mostly use them for interviews and b-roll, that's why i will prefer to have soft light in bi-color or daylight with V mount plate, because gonna use them everywhere. Sometimes i have narrative project requests or clients asking to shoot small budget music clips that's why i was thinking that RGB lights gonna be very useful during that shoots, but obviously i bought Rosco Color Filter gels, so i can use them as well. I am agree with you, there is no such a light which will do everything. I wont use 300d because of it's noise. So which lights do you use mostly or during interviews, narrative stuff, musical videos? And what can you suggest me? Thanks

By your opinion, let's not include pricing, why 300d is better over 300d II ?

I wanna hear you're suggestions which is the best options for video/photo light between 700-1200$ or with less price? These lights i am gonna use mostly 80% taking videos, the rest 20% it would be some photo shoots. After watching some of the reviews on youtube i find that these are really good lights for use, if you are agree or disagree please tell me. 1. Aputure 300D II or wait until they will start selling Aputure LS 300X Bi-Color 2 Fotodiox Pro FACTOR Prizmo 150 RGB 3. Intellytech LiteCloth LC-160RGBW and in cheapest segment 4. Falcon Eyes RX-24TDX 150W 5. Falcon Eyes RX-818 RGB 100W 6. Menik CB-102A 102W
