I am looking to purchase a Zeiss CP2 35mm T2.1 lens for a Red Dragon and have a choice between using the PL titanium mount ($2000) vs the Canon EF aluminum mount ($700). I have a 5D but doubt I would be using much of it anymore. Any advantages of going with one over the other other than...

I need a shot where a DJI Ronin ascends straight up. By turning off the pan and tilt I am able to keep the camera sturdy however I tried connecting a single 1/2" rope to the center handle and pull it up with a pulley on the roof but the handlebar rotates crazy and causes back and forth motion of...

Do I need to get friends or potential crew members to sign some sort of release when I talk to them about the film I am working on? I think I heard somewhere that even if a friend makes a suggestion or helps out in some way like loans me a piece of gear, that they can claim some sort of rights...

When I press record on my A7, the shogun screen goes blank and I cannot record on it. I could swear that I was recording on both the shogun and a7 when I first got it but may have messed up a setting or am in a specific mode that doesn't support it. Anyone know what setting causes this issue?

I am in the market for video lighting that can be used for indoor house shots mostly in an unfinished basement (wood framing). The ceilingwill be completely open and not shown in the shots so there is no issue having overhead lights if needed. Basically an all purpose lighting kit for filming...

Does anyone know if a camera crane would allow me to move a camera from near the roof straight down to near the floor. I need it to go straight down. If a camera crane will not work, does anyone know an option to do this as stable as possible? I am not sure if doing it by hand would be stable...

I was looking for a good quality splitter to take a 3.5mm stereo male from the Rode VideoMic to dual XLR inputs going into the Atomos Shogun and I seem to be seeing a majority of 3.5mm male adapters not female. This would work fine if I was putting the Rode microphone into the 5D MarkIII DSLR I...

I am new to film making and am trying to figure out the best way to connect the Rode VideoMic to the Atomos Shogun. I have a single 3.5mm (rode) to XLR (shogun) adapter. I connected the 3.5mm cable into the red XLR input and I only get audio on the left speakers during playback on my computer...
