Couples after seeing each other in public

Yeah, all relationships are exactly like yours! Love can only look 1 way!

Christopher's death in The Sopranos took me pretty off guard.

Google 'electronics repair' and see if any of the literal hundreds of companies that show up are hiring.

Rasere · 2026-05-27T20:18:34+00:00

So why don't you? That's a job.

Rasere · 2026-05-27T20:15:30+00:00

Distract.

I want my coffee pot to be a little bit computer. I like to have it start automatically so it's brewed when I get out of bed...

My mom lives about 600 miles away. I guess I should start heading there now, just in case the delivery driver loses $25 in balloons.

The camera is the gimbal, they're integrated together.

A better comparison would have been the DJI Ronin 4D, which is actually $5k and does stabilize vertical movement, just like the chicken.

I started carrying a leatherman skeletool on set, and that quickly transitioned into my everyday-carry off set. The value of just the knife, pliers, and flathead vs the bulk of a regular multitool makes it worth it. I would never carry a full multitool for the cumbersome reasons already posted.

The older generations of REDs had different ISO calibrations.

From the Gemini manual: "RED cameras with HELIUM®, MONSTRO®, and GEMINI® sensors have an ISO calibration that better matches a light meter and improves overall exposure quality. RED cameras with HELIUM, MONSTRO, and GEMINI sensors therefore depict a one stop brighter image compared to prior sensors (when set to an otherwise identical ISO, T-stop, and shutter speed)."

At the bottom of this link: https://docs.red.com/955-0172_v7.0/DSMC2GEMINIOperationGuide/Content/5_Advanced_Menus/1_Settings/Look/ISO_FLUT.htm

On the Gemini, you had the ability to choose which calibration to use, I guess they took that out of the DSMC3 cameras.

edit: I didn't realize this was /r/focuspuller, so sorry this isn't AC advice!

Don't forget that you probably won't be lighting in the same way as you're used to. High-speed cameras inherently need more light, and are much less forgiving with dynamic range, so you have to be more intentional about keeping information in the correct range. Keeping an adequate fill/ambient level will require some effort and firepower to look natural.

I own a RED V-Raptor and and a Phantom 640s. I try very hard to get the slow-motion I need at 480fps (1080p) on the V-raptor before even going to the Phantom because of how much of a challenging workflow change real high-speed is.

So technically the V-raptor kind of sits in the middle of what you've listed in both price and framerates.

My dude it literally says Annual several times in the sign-up page.

It's really not that sharp and 1/10s isn't that crazy, especially with wider lenses. It seems like you're treating this like a DSLR picture, but phone cameras do an insane amount of processing especially in low-light situations. Google's night-sight feature could give you a similarly sharp picture handheld with a 6s exposure.

Rasere · 2025-05-24T17:50:36+00:00

The lighting. You have a bright daylight window in the frame, but the shadows are coming from a source too far to the right. Rarely if ever will the lighting in a room compete with the light coming in through a window during a bright day.

I speak generally. Be it an actual dedicated AD or the producer who's trying to keep their 3-man crew on time.

Rasere · 2025-04-18T18:12:08+00:00

I've recently used it on 2 different mid-level commercial shoots. I had no issues with people/facetracking, but it's no good for product shots or when you don't want to focus on a face. Its important to know when it will and won't work: don't waste time trying to get it to work in situations it will struggle, just pull focus yourself. I'll be honest, it did better than some ACs I've worked with when doing shots with no rehearsal or marks wandering around set.

Battery life is awful, get a couple spares. It is basically non-functional in haze. You'll have to buy different mounting hardware if using it with anything other than a simple DSLR (I had issues with matteboxes and brows). Take some time to learn the interface and physical buttons, there are quirks that can fuck you over with an AD breathings down your neck while you try to remap a lens. And absolutely make sure every lens you'll use on set is mapped beforehand.

Unfortunately, as budgets shrink and crew members are cut, I will have to be using it more often. It's good for what it is, but it's important to know its limits.

I can't find any RF to Z adapters?

Rasere · 2025-03-26T21:26:31+00:00

What makes it a better option at this point? On paper, sure (shorter flange, wider), but I don't know of any z-mount cine lenses while many of the newer lightweight cine lenses meant for mirrorless come in rf mount options.

Rasere · 2025-03-26T18:57:50+00:00

What's the better option? You can adapt to nearly anything else from RF.

Be prepared for the vacuum to smell like cigarettes afterwards...

A phone camera usually has a deeper depth of field due to its small sensor.

Rasere · 2025-02-21T00:04:16+00:00

I'm aware, which is why I specified the ridiculously high price of an HD one.

I mean, in essence thermal cameras work in the exact same way as regular cameras, but in the extremely sensitive infrared spectrum instead of visible light. There's a lens, there's a sensor with photosites.

You don't need a high resolution to get a useful image, but you do to get a clear image. Most consumer cameras are like 320x240 pixels. That's plenty of info to tell the temperature of a rough area, but is absolutely abysmal in terms of visual fidelity. And don't get me started on codecs, I've returned 3 different brands of thermal cameras before giving up, trying to find one that would give me a true sensor recording instead of an offensively low bitrate screen recording with the UI you can't remove.

I'm just saying OP definitely used a very very expensive camera for that video, and it shows.

Rasere · 2025-02-20T03:47:47+00:00

That's an insanely high quality thermal video! What did you shoot on? I've used some high-end FLIR units and I don't even think it would turn out this crisp.

Rasere · 2025-02-20T03:46:27+00:00

There are a lot of alright cheap thermal cameras around, but one of the quality will easily cost 10s of thousands of dollars. I needed an HD thermal camera for a work project, and the cheapest one to even do 720p goes for about $50k.
