The A7s II only outputs 8-bit 4:2:2 over HDMI - recording it as 4:4:4 is just capturing empty bits.

The Teradek Bolt Pro 600 will work at up to 600' line of sight and comes in an HDMI model. Why would you need all four TX going to the same RX unit?

If the quick release base isn't holding, try connecting it at a second point (two 1/4" screws should suffice for a DSLR setup). This will stop it from twisting under its own weight, causing the screw to loosen.

Enough - no more threats or personal attacks. I'd rather not ban anyone but I will if this continues.

I think you may do well to read your camera manual… the ratio given on the front of the lens (e.g. 1:1.8 or 1:4) is the maximum aperture value, not the only one. You can adjust the aperture from the maximum usually down to f/22 or so (often to completely closed on a fully manual lens).

I'm sure a basic understanding of VFX would be useful, but Kingda Ka was asking about SFX (i.e. physical, practical effects on the set/in camera). I can't really answer the original question, but I would recommend reading The DV Rebel's Guide by Stu Maschwitz as a very helpful introduction to...

Hey Joseph, I have a friend in London who owns an Aaton LTR and another who owns an ARRI SR2. Shoot me an email (me at olliecraig dot com) and I'll put you in touch with them. Cheers!

So, I just Googled "FS100 aspect ratio":

The 6D will record a 1920*1080 frame at 91 Mbps (ALL-I) or 31 Mbps (IPB). Use ALL-I for the best picture quality. Shooting flat can be very useful but is not always appropriate. In a lower contrast situation (such as an interview with a controlled three point lighting setup) shooting very flat...

As it's for a stills rather than motion shoot, this should be relatively easy to achieve with a couple of off-camera flashguns. You can tell from the shadows on the floor that there are two hard lights behind the players, one on either side, and I would guess a softer source from over the lens...

Thanks! We used Sennheiser G3s, as a link between the camera and audio mixer and for wireless mics. The TX and RX units are both pretty small - you can see the receiver mounted on the camera in this photo, as modelled by our sound recordist: Licensed but I'm not sure where from; I'll try and...

Maybe I'm missing something very obvious, but why are you exporting the film in two parts in the first place? As Premiere and your Bluray encoder have problems with one file but not the other then I would suggest one of your files has corrupted. Some error messages would be very helpful. If...

You mention the payload a lot, but what camera are you planning to run on them? I've used the Movi with a stripped down Epic, anamorphic lenses and a C-motion with no problems - would you be using something heavier? Depending on how you want to shoot, it may be worth considering also buying a...

You don't mention which model of GoPro you plan to use, but you should be able to shoot at 25fps (depending on resolution). In terms of sharpness and matching shots I would not be worried about intercutting with a 550D.
