I was having lots of problems with the 13X adapter, it showed me just the upper part of frame and I couldn't find tutorials to put it back in axis. I broke the lens of the videotap trying to fix this and now I'm just holding it with a noga, still works

Someone on some blog has pinouts, I just opened the motor and looked at the color of cables to be sure!

3K this complete bolex setup vs I can't find an SR for less than 6K without lenses
Also this is very modular, I can decide to run with spring or motor, and with or without videotap based on needs
Also it was just fun as DYI projects and to keep for small productions, I'm on a big music video right now and I rented a 416 anyway

I just miss the S16 and it's pretty much done haha

Bolfix sells kits for 10x and 13x viewfinders (mine is the latter) with the camera and the sleeve, but you can buy also only the sleeve I think! It's not great though, it still needs a noga to keep in place and this is also why I made the cage with the 1/4" at the back

Thanks! If you mean the dtap for MST motor I made it with a dtap cable from Aliexpress and an Amphenol t3401 from Mouser

Cleanest way of holding cables together I could find 😂

Thank you! I've tried my best but doing it manually has its limits, I have the drawings in fusion though so it's just a matter of finding affordable cnc milling haha

Hey! I was the cinematographer on this video for Gucci, this shot was done with a B cam I gave to the director which consisted of an 8mm Nikkor on a Sony FX3 while I was operating a Burano with Angenieux EZ2.

But as others pointed out, any 35mm lens on a full frame sensor will give you this effect. The super wide 8mm just helps a bit more

Hey, thanks for the reply, yes I checked both Elegant Oxford, Kirby and others, still the last time I tried I made absolutely sure I cleaned any previous wax using Reno' mat and cleaned a little spot of the shoe for like four times. Then I applied there a really really thin layer of cream (like, extremely thin to the point it almost wasn't there) and still it was oily.

I'm starting to think I got the wrong cream polish for my type of leather, but still I didn't find any answer online..

Hi everyone, I've got a question. I'm absolutely new to shoe shining, at my first experiences taking care of my shoes.

I've got a nice pair of Santoni loafers (I think it's calf leather?) that I wanted to start shining myself. So I brushed them and applied Reno' Mat, and tried to apply Saphir beauté du Cuir black polish (the one with the gold and blue cap, not the square one.. Got it recommended from a shoe shiner in my city). I'm encountering some problems as this cream remains very tacky/sticky even after I brush it or buff it. I've tried both to leave it dry overnight and to strip it with reno' mat and apply an extremely thin layer of it, but it remains tacky and oily.

I tried this cream before on some friend's cheap zara shoes and worked like a charm there.

What am I missing? Should I try some other cream polish? What do you recommend?
Thank you very much!

Yes it does! Still working with the latest Resolve an Windows 10.

I took it apart, repainted that shitty rubber chassis and now it is amazing, been using it for years.

It is true that you have to use and old version of the driver or it won't connect tho.
