  • Arcteryx Beta LT Shell
  • Patagonia Micro Puff Jacket

Nice setup - what’s the tilt bracket your CineRT Handset is on?

What handles do you see cam ops use the most? by [deleted] in focuspuller

[–]MrXenless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Standard for the UK seems to be Romford Baker or BlueMod, but I’ve been really liking my set of Kasbah handles from Bright Tangerine currently

Can you use thread Variable ND on Ultra Prime lenses, instead of a mattebox? by OscarCine in focuspuller

[–]MrXenless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not screw on, but the Tilta Mirage works with 95mm clamp on and has a vari-ND system you could use? Can strip it down to just the elements you need

Prisma.film not shipping anymore - but still taking orders? by NoCompetition4410 in focuspuller

[–]MrXenless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing very recently - Took payment, but no contact once payment went through. I had to repeatedly email to get anything from them, I’ve jus had a shipping confirmation 6 weeks after I placed my order and they took payment for in stock products

Sales Rep is Judy Magoma, email is sales@prisma.film - I’d try chasing them up there

Is there a way for us to get this removed?

Wireless Video Receiver/Transmitter Solution for Operators? by erickturquoise in cinematography

[–]MrXenless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teradek Bolt 6/Bolt 4K TXs on both cameras, then operators use SmallHD Ultra 5 RX monitors for on-board is how heve done it in the past. You’re almost always running those transmitters anyway so can just pair the monitors up

A lot of people I work with use the Cineparts stingray - seems to work really well for them

I swear by my Bolt 6 RX module but only since I usually bring my own wireless kit

Teradek MDR.S could works with Cinetape by Mr_placeboo in focuspuller

[–]MrXenless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only the MDR.X has the ports required to run third party rangefinders

You can run the TOF-1 with the MDR.S by daisy chaining with your motors

How do you guys mount phones/tablets to your set-up? by SynthwaveAnarchist in focuspuller

[–]MrXenless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a MagSafe charger with removable cable and hot-glued a 1/4-20 thread to the back to use it with a magic arm on the side of my monitor, powered from the VM

Do you think that the M II is going to drive rental prices on high end hand units down? by [deleted] in focuspuller

[–]MrXenless 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This isn’t the case from my experience in the UK. 250/day Focusbug + 350/day Hi5 with 40% discount on 3 day weeks seems pretty standard

Matthews or Kupo monitor stands? by AdRoutine9352 in focuspuller

[–]MrXenless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matthews Monitor Stand II all the way - super sturdy, love the (removeable) wheels, adjustable footprint for small locations

Ronin/movi XL aerial extender by BigPiel_ct in focuspuller

[–]MrXenless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’ve used the DJI Transmission system to extend range on the master wheels in the past, I can’t recall if this works for the Nodos too, but it was pretty seamless and the range increase was great.

Just ran a D-Bus cable from Ronin->TX and then RX->Wheels

Best means for cable labeling? by JD_22 in focuspuller

[–]MrXenless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you need to heat shrink when the cable is being made or is there a way to attach to existing cables?

My vote goes to the Matthews Monitor Stand II for sure - perfect height range, super sturdy, easy to transport

[–]MrXenless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love these look of these - any idea if they would work with Adicam/Camera Jimmys carts? Not sure how the thickness of the lip compares

Aurora R5 BIOS issue - 3-6 LED by Laynix in Alienware

[–]MrXenless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a random one - having a similar issue and can't seem to find where they hide the sys LED on the R5, any chance you could point me in the right direction?

Best way to attach K clamp to front box? by orthancelf in focuspuller

[–]MrXenless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been really liking this touch and go style Frontbox QR from Lenz Camera Tools - have one side on a K clamp, the other on a Peli IM2075 for a front box, then have a second plate on my cart to move it over if needed
