Drone Lighting
That seems totally doomed by physics. Battery lifespan is a major limiting factor of drones that AREN'T carrying lights or powering them. I mean, yes, it's cool, and the capability of the drone to maintain a position relative to the su…

Grip head / gobo head /clamp - cheap alternative?
You can do a fair amount with spring clamps / "A"-clamps. Not on the level of what you can do with a grip head, but clipping stuff to other stuff is pretty useful. You can also bolt a threaded 5/8" baby pin and washer and nut to the …

Big LED panels - experiences?
Possibly the larger westcott and Aladdin Flexlites. I know they are marketing them as a kino flo replacement and they have some great features. 2' 3' and 4' x 1' mats of leds and a bracket to put them on a stand. Also- re: colo…

Diffusing your lights
@rottencarcass Sorry or the late response- I didn't follow up on this thread for a bit. Differences between an Airbox softbox and the one linked to: The linked softbox has to go on a panel of that exact size, with barn doors. It has no stru…

GH4 4K Panasonic video camera, official topic
@tylerknight: Hi Tyler- question about shooting 4k handheld for warp-stabilized 1080- How much wider than the final shot were you shooting, planning on a crop and stabilize operation? Any other shooting recommendations you'd make? What shutte…

Diffusing your lights
Light loss isn't the most important thing when talking about diffusion. The light output is ultimately in service of making it look nice, and that often means sacrificing a lot of stop to get a nice soft source. Think about something like unble…

Cages for GH4?
Anyone seen any cages that can accommodate the YAGH brick? I don't have the brick yet, but I'd like to have the option to use it. Even the WC height adjustable cage looks a little dicey. That brick is really big.

Cheap Noir DSLR Lighting
Great shots guys!! Anyway- on topic- warning about par-38, par-30, etc medium-base screw bulbs: yes you get a lot of output for not much money, but the distribution of the field of light out of these is awkward and uneven. not great for much of any…

GH2 is out of stock in most shops
Chatting with a Panasonic rep at wppi the other day- it's official- they're done making the gh2! Moving to support the gh3. Which is dumb because thy cant make them fast enough to keep them in stock everywhere. The life cycle of cameras is…

Lighting for High fps video (FS700, LX7, Phantom)
Hmm. There is an inconvenient but effective option to get rid of tungsten flicker, which is put more than one light of the same size each on a different phase of your power system, so the the dim moment of one light is synched up with the bright …

EOS to m43 to adapters with diaphragm
Yeah, after more use I really kind of hate the Kipon adapter. So much voignetting, it's only good for stopping down a few stops from wide open. And sloppy fit also; the whole package kept disengaging from my camera body when using a big Sigma …

Here's Ryan from Ikan running us through their "Elements" line of rigs. It's hard to break new ground in the dslr rigs field; one thing that stood out a bit that I liked is that their counterweight pouch can be used as a cargo c…

D-Focus GH2 Cage
Funny that you raise this... the cage did swivel around a bit on top of my quick-release plate. It was a little annoying. Soluble though. I had the cage mounted on to my Lanparte base and all the other crap you see mounted to the top of the cage. T…

Beginners: Guide to setting up stable settings
I have a newbie question, although I've been here a while. When I upload a hack, I lose the "HBR" setting on my camera. Just isn't there. Any ideas? And when I try to have ptools use the latest gh2_v11 from panasonic as its ba…

FWIW, Jag35 and Dfocus are not the same company, but they sell their stuff together and cooperate a lot.

D-Focus GH2 Cage
When I was test-driving this rig, i used things like this http://jag35.com/products/railblock.html and this http://jag35.com/products/dslrstand.html. That's because that's what was handy, but lots of companies make that kind of thing.

Quad and Hexa copters
FWIW, when I was looking at buying a big octo from http://www.infinitejib.com/, the piece of advice that they gave me was to learn to fly first, on a cheapo single-rotor, the idea being if you can fly a single-rotor copter, you can fly a multicopter…

@xntrggr @ Vitaliy_Kiselev can you provide a photograph of this little slit on the adapter that you pry open with a screwdriver to make the mount fit more tightly?

And it auto focuses while rolling?? My 17mm pancake doesn't do that, nor does my leicasonic 14-50, nor the crappy stock 14-42 that I sold. Is it only that lens?
