@Alissa Alexina Why do they need the clean green screen plate?

This could bee very confusing if used in a film camera. 180° Image Rotation The relay design of the KIPON 0.7x PL > PL Adapter cause a 180° rotation of the image before it is projected onto the camera sensor. This can be easily compensated by flipping the image in the camera settings to properly rotate the image and ensure natural orientation.

I think it was hard or as they said “impossible” for them to solder it. If the SDI in is working at 60fps then I guess it rules out it being disconnected from the board. I guess try reaching out to BM repair shop.

I have a Blackmagic Video Assist 5" 12G and had a similar issue. The monitor would turn on but would not receive a signal from the SDI In port, but it would work fine if I used the HDMI in (again I was using it on a film camera for video playback). After a lot of headaches I send the monitor to the local BM dealer they opened it up and saw that the SDI in port had been disconnected from the board. Apparently they had to replace the whole board, thankfully it was still under warranty and now it works fine.

@Abhimanyu dange did you end up buying it?

Can anyone shed some light on the lens? Thanks!

@Balz Auf der Maur Do you happen to still have sample footage from the lens? Thanks!

Does this cover S16?

Do you happen to have any 4x5.65 matte boxes?

Hi, Is anyone selling a Lensbaby 3G with a PL mount? Thanks, Boris

I am also interested in the conversion mount! Do you have any sample video footage from the Bolex?

I was thinking that maybe somehow a 12mm FF Laowa could be modified for something like this?

Hi, I am looking for a Bridge plate + dovetail for my Aaton XTR Prod. Is anyone selling, preferably in Europe? Thanks, Boris

Does anyone have any good sample footage?

Hi everyone. Are there any wide PL lenses that can achieve the lens baby look on S16mm? The widest Lens baby that I think was a 35mm with a screw on attachment that made it to roughly 22mm. Any ideas on how this could be achieved for a wider focal length? Thanks!

Great ideas, thanks! I will definitely test them out. 1) Would you shine a light through the filter holder or would that be an overkill? 2) When you're saying click as fast as possible I assume you mean not click the normal shutter (front release) but actually pull the side release lever towards P, so you're doing single frame exposures? 3) Would opening the lid (door) for a split second in the middle of the roll with 50D be something interesting in terms of flashing the film a bit? BTW very cool intervalometer!

@Dom Jaeger Strangely on my Bolex H16 I can close the door with the loop formers closed. Do you know what would happen if: 1) I left the loop formers closed? 2) I took out the pressure plate? I am looking for effects that I can experiment with my Bolex. Just some gimmicky effects that could be used on music videos and what not. But just trying to get a list of things that I would test first before actually rolling any film. Thanks a lot!

@Philip Forrest Do you have any sample footage of the light leak it creates? Does it just fog the film or can it somehow be used in an "artistic" way? Thanks!

Does anyone by any chance have any sample footage of forward cranked Bolex? Thanks!

Price?

Do you have any sample footage?

I have a very bad photo of the XTR on a Movi Pro but it can be done. Not super reliable but it can be balanced. But we extended the arms of the Movi by 4, 5cm.

Fitting it In a Movi is quite tricky because the arms are a bit too short. That’s why most people use a Ronin 2. Charnwoodmovements has this special plate that you remove the viewfinder from the camera and screw in a cheese plate on top to make the camera not so tall. I think he calls it a video top plate. I strongly recommend it I’ve used more times than I can remember that makes gimbal work much easier. But again you have no viewfinder so it’s good to have a good Video Tap. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoiH9ZULnE3/?igsh=MTFvNjRka2czYzNxMA==

I have an XTR Prod and I am super happy with it. 1) You can get a V-mount Adapter from: https://elokuvakonepaja.com/product/aaton-power-adapter/ It has 3x 2-pin lemo outputs + 1 D-tap 2) I got my video tap upgraded by Visual Products again super happy with it. From what I understand pretty much all video tap upgrades use the same internal camera its just how they fit it in XTR body. AZ Spectrum just had a crazy long waiting list. 3) Check out charnwoodmovements on IG - https://www.instagram.com/charnwoodmovements/ -Diffrent type of cheese plates -R/S module - that works with a AMC-1 This is my set-up ---> https://www.instagram.com/p/CzbTj-Yoyqg/?img_index=1
