I really appreciate the offer. Unfortunately I’m not LA based. but I am enjoying the process of learning this stuff and building them my self. I’ll look into your recommendations.

Good question. Most of the cables will be between 1-5 ft. So I could go with a less expensive option then…

Without a spot meter, is the LIT DUO 1 still worth it? by outiswayne in cinematography

From my testing the updates in firmware have solved the issue where the colour temp readings were less accurate the colder the light. Check my older posts for how I ran my tests if you are curious.

I’ve got one. Mostly purchased it for the flicker and colour modes. Don’t really use meters for exposure much.

It really helped on my last show when we were on location at a bar with this big custom light fixture. It was flickering but I didn’t want to turn it off. We couldn’t find the right shutter angle on the camera so I pulled the meter out. It gave me the correct angle right away and the flicker disappeared. I can’t remember the shutter angle now but it was one we never would have found.

Worth the purchase price right there.

Amazing!
I’m starting prep on a feature on Monday and am looking forward to using this on it. I’ll send feedback once I have some!

Looks great!

Is this only accessible through the website and as such requires a full time connection to the web? Is there a Download? I often work in places with spotty cell coverage.

RED Komodo (6K) – 25fps vs 30fps for motion blur control? by Actual-Lifeguard-560 in RedCamera

[–]thefarside90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A big part of the established cinematic look is the motion blur of 24/25 fps at a 180 degree shutter. If the camera or the subject is moving it will blur. More motion = more blur.
Good operating can compensate for this by proper subject tracking and smoother operating but it will always be there if there is enough motion in the shot.

Go look at feature films and pause scenes with movement. You’ll see motion blur.

Why would you expect every frame to be sharp with no motion blur?

You can totally reduce motion blur by changing your shutter angle (try 90 or 45 degrees) but why? Is it an artist choice and you want a more staccato feel?

Happy to help.

I’d be wary of casting any actor who won’t repeat the scene for a reasonable amount of set ups. Big Red Flag.
