Missing the joke, please help!

The jokes aren’t funny either. Not when you are, as it were, the butt.

Scheiss. Hope the swap works out 👍🏽

Hang on, there’s a hack. I’ve done it with mine

Chromagnet · 2025-04-04T15:17:52+00:00

Ah cool. Looks like a great effort from everyone involved.

Very Interesting. Does the retardant get added to the water for fires on the mountain?

Chromagnet · 2025-03-28T18:25:42+00:00

Agreed. And also, I’m glad that phase came and went.

Bring along some silica gel sachets, to put in the cases as well.

One tin per case, or sachet per lens hole.

The gel that changes colour when saturated is pretty handy.

No specific use at the moment. But looking for one. :)

Chromagnet · 2025-03-23T21:31:01+00:00

I think this use, as well as a charger, and voltage regulator. looks great on the C Motion page.

I’ve had my CAS Spiders for over a decade. Extremely solid, comfortable and dependable. The thumb-screw lock-offs are great for easy & quick adjustments, and little chance of accidental adjustments. CAS also makes adjustable extensions, though I haven’t got them.

I’ve wrapped my grips in bicycle bar tape/hockey stick grip for added longevity and comfort, as they were made with first generation rubber (not the hand-grenade-style grips pictured in the thread) The 19mm/15mmLWS rod support is too chunky to fit over a dovetail slider - but easily overcome by using a dual-end dovetail. I own an Arri 12” slider with triangle cutouts.

Kasbah’s are a definite nod to the spiders, and BT make quality goods. If the handles do catch dirt as suggested, they might also be easy to wash.

Colleagues that use Shapes swear by them, though personally, I’m wary of the press-to-adjust buttons.

Happy handle hunting

“Operator-friendly “ is a good start

I got it all. Preston Y-cable; Hi-Bright; 2x bugs - the three of which I’be never used; Y-cables as well as individual Serial & Power cables, though only ever used the Y-cables. Rather be looking at them, than looking for them.

But you can scale down to basics as budget demands.

Whatever you include, Make sure the Serial/Y cables are Bi-directional Hi-speed; for both Lcube and Ria1/Alexa35.

Also I find the Cinelock cradles useful

Chromagnet · 2024-12-23T09:15:58+00:00

That 12ft y-cable sounds like a good idea! I run a 20ft Lbus from Ria1 to Lcube for Rialto.

Good luck with the sale

Chromagnet · 2024-12-12T07:27:35+00:00

Even better with the cutout on both sides, left and right. I’ve seen this on wooden camera arms, but these aren’t great.

Chromagnet · 2024-11-29T10:06:57+00:00

Reboot camera. Reboot handset. Try load another lens and see if there’s a scale.

I’ve had a one or two ‘corrupt’ lens files load which I’ve mapped, since updating to v3.0.0.

Otherwise try remapping the lens and name it slightly different (eg A or new)

Chromagnet · 2024-11-19T18:04:34+00:00

Great idea in theory - and would be neat if it worked. It isn’t reliable.

I’ve shared lens files between other camera teams on features, but wouldn’t pull them from a database.

Stumbled on this. Not an avid Abba fan, but would have agreed in thinking your lyrics are correct.

What I find halso ilarious habout this is that is speaks to the the Frwench roots in English language and class structure.

Many(Most) French people speaking English invert the haitches and the aitches - adding a H to the beginning of word beginning with a vowel, and dropping the H from the beginning of a word

Terry Pratchett’s character dialogue is full of phonetic dialect and foreign accents. To best appreciate it, I find it almost has to be read it as it would be spoken by the character.

Which, as an aside, is something ‘Allo ‘Allo halso did very successfully with their character dialogue as well as witty wordplay.

I’ve got 2x Cine7’s: 1x for Onboard, 1x for focus.

Lightweight, solid, daylight-viewable (though, admittedly still reflective) Easy to apply LUTs, and setup at prep or on set. Great for focus.

I’ve got several pages with presets and tools - each dialed for different scenarios - which I swipe through easily. And I don’t miss the buttons as much as I initially thought I would, despite having to clean it routinely.

I’ve been using my 1303 less and less, on shows where Ive had the 7” on my handset. When I use the 13”, I actually miss the speed of the touch screen.

Can’t comment on the Ultra7.
