Btw, a clean install would guarantee a fix, unless the base hardware is unstable. (and we might want to upgrade that... post the pc specs - cpu, ram, hdd, gfx card, power supply)

If you were near me, I'd fix it for you. I can offer some guidance nonetheless. Stability is key.. You've got to clear the start up right away, and then I'd recommend using a simple usb flash drive or sd card as a 'Readyboost' drive (if you don't have an ssd os drive). Simply right click in My...

Try vigorously rubbing the contacts on a carpet. They will always be iffy though when depleted fully (if you get them to work)

The last time that cameras that could bar you from a film look were in wide circulation was 2009 and previous. Now, it really comes down to everything else in the production The 4k 35mm BMCC is *global shutter; if having top class film look at no cost is the goal, there is no reason not to go...

H4N = the pits A perfect example of a technology that succeeds in spite of itself; bc people want to have what their peers are having C'mon. You can do better... without even spending any more!

As in another thread, you're better off w/ an NTG-1, providing phantom power from the recorder (fwiw, ntg-3 is great) (if you are primarily recording outdoors) Indoors? You'll want a hyper - like an Audix SCX1..

It is a good combo

++

That's a good point. Is the extra $20 battery option worth it when the preamp is iffy? Not really

++ The two lowest black magic offerings are the best values today.

What Alcove wrote is on point; you've got a good thing going with a phantom powered Ntg-2 though Phantom is externally powered (as opposed to an internal battery); hotter is louder output, which comes into play with the noise floor rise when you turn up gain on the preamp

These are well founded plans. Maybe consider a tascam dr 60 or 100mkii in place of the h6. You will need a mic mount - like an INV7, wind protection for outdoors, boom pole and XLR cable. You will have second tier, solid equipment that is not bottom of the barrel (a good, and rare for indies...

I remember having a similar impression with the first six... continue watching, much time is spent up front establishing story lines. It is a good show Breaking Bad - great show

You get a few less hard body controls, and no flip up mirror (you don't have to worry about using up all the actuations by taking a lot of photos) - its 'live view'. I would recommend investing in Nikon mount glass if you want to move to other cams in the future. Nikon glass will put you in a...

The thing that always got me with the canon image was the weird standard definition texture from the sensor line skipping. It can still be made to work though. Side note; I am happy this week because Canon, via Nickerson research, has reached out to me to license shots from my t2i work. Feeling...

Remember, this has the same exact imaging pipeline

On the next rung down, you can get quite the steal with this, which gives an identical imaging path as the more expensive Dslrs If you are serious about narrative filmmaking, you will want a Black magic; the higher fidelity is a plus for commercial applications as well (also keep in mind the...

GAS is, beware, a black hole Don't pass the event horizon!

The Pocket has an identical image pipeline to its larger sibling (spare the oversample). I do think it is a smart investment; its has several features of prosumer cameras aimed at filmmakers (@ less cost & unlike dslrs), it has an imaging approach that mimics the highest fidelity cinema...
