Don't get me wrong, I love my BMPCC. I have the tilta cage and rails. Smallhd dp6 monitor. Tilta follow focus. Varavon BMPCC external battery. A decent assortment of m4/3 lens.

I was curious if the audio recordings recorded into the pocket, via the "A" box, with the use of a good microphone preamp, be as good as using an external recorder, just for simplicity of not having to sync up audio later.

I find all aspects of film making interesting. When I first started studying independent filmmaking about 4 years ago, I knew nothing. It's debatable whether I know much more then that now. But I wanted to do everything back then. I wanted to direct, and DP, and audio, and everything thing else...

For the record, it isn't that I can't afford a better audio option. Having run into that A Box, I wanted to inquire if using thst as the recording device would be as good an option as an external recorder. As a side note, I would love to put together a sound kit, and learn proper procedures...

Hey, I have an audio question. I think I know the answer, but hoped one of the audio guys would chime in. I've been looking at the Wooden Camera A Box Pocket (for my BMPCC) http://woodencamera.com/A-Box-Pocket.html Basically adds 2 XLR inputs, that plugs into the mic input of my camera...

I've built a hexa copter (recently stolen unfortunately), and have done a lot of research looking into gimbals to fly a larger camera. While I can't comment specifically on particular model, I do know you'd want to find something with 5000 or better series brushless motors, as the ones on eBay...

Not a book, but a great video training series. I've learned a lot from it. http://www.hollywoodcamerawork.us/mc_index.html

It's a nice camera. I've had the 60D for a while. I have the EFS 17-55 f2.8, and the Tokina 11-16 f2.8.

So I decided to start off with 5.8ghz for video, since I'm running 2.4ghz for control. I started to go goggles, and ordered a Fatshark Attitude setup. Came with goggles that had integrated 5.8ghz receiver, and a 250mw transmitter for the copter. Turns out my pupil distance is greater then the...

Very nice as usual. I just upgraded my F550, and added FPV as well. It's a world of difference from flying blind. Had bought video goggles, but my IPD was out side their parameters (my eyes are too far apart). So now waiting on a field monitor for my ground station. Hope to share some stuff...

+1 for the free version of resolve. Resolve Lite 10 can now handle video up to 4k, if I remember correctly. That's something that Lite 9 didn't do. Also Alexis Van Hurkman wrote the manual for resolve. Has a great video training series on how to use the different tools in resolve. Also he...

I downloaded and installed this morning. Brought my camera to work. Hopefully I'll get a little downtime this afternoon to film a few min. This is exciting. The other week adobe updated premiere CC to allow native editing of raw footage. So now I'll be able to edit it without creating proxies.

Tokina 11-16 f2.8. I have it for my 60D, love it.

I have about $2500 in my setup right now (including the gopro 3). I'm not doing it for any single project. It's something I've had an interest in for a long time. So I decided to build and learn to fly, what I consider an entry level craft. I've enjoyed learning to fly it. If I just had a single...

Do as you wish sir.
