    Odyssey 7Q+ or Shogun

    Banging my head on this decision... Cameras I have include: FS700, A7s, GH4 so either recorder will work, yes 7Q+ has some extra goodies for the FS700 if I get the $1000 Raw upgrade, but then things get pricey and I've heard that 7Q+ is harder to work with then the Atomos, so I'm wondering given...

    After finishing our last feature we are actually short on scripts for the next film; the writer we normally use is currently busy on another project and I've got another producer interested in a feature idea I pitched last week so I'll likely be busy with that script and can only provide...

    3-Axis Gimbal Options and Thoughts

    I've been looking at getting a 3-axis gimbal for some of my shoots. Mainly as I want to get away from Jib and Dolly shots given my often "on man band" on set (often 2 man band, me on the camera directing and 1 sound person); anything beyond sticks or limited handheld takes up too much time or...

It would be mounted to a rail system on an FS700 using metabones adapters. Fastest speed glass is f1.2 but with the Speedbooster I'm getting an...

    Pre-production for a Feature in 3 weeks - Make it so!
