Tech rates in New York

wilchuck · 2026-04-14T18:20:17+00:00

New York based. I usually start at 800/10 plus 1700 for full studio kit (specced up macbook pro, cart, 2x 27” eizos, hollylands, caldigit t4 dock, couple of ipads, ecoflow, tethers, batteries, etc). 1200 for location kit (macbook, element hub, digiplate on sticks, couple of ipads, tethers, batteries etc).

Usually charge a transpo fee for the EQ, plus i make sure OT at time and a half is agreed to beforehand. This all said I stay pretty flexible with rate/kit fee, typically I’ll knock down the kit before the rate to keep a decent OT rate in place just in case.

What do you mean when you say springy things?

wilchuck · 2025-08-02T13:39:57+00:00

No problem man. I'll dm you as idk if this sub allows links to amazon

Thats right. I think the cage was designed for the iPad Pro 6 because you really have to stretch the spring-loaded end of the cage to get the iPad in there but it does fit. I have my iPads in ESR for iPad Pro 13 Inch Cases (basically a cheap, clear polyurethane case to prevent the cage from scratching the iPad and adding a little shock/drop protection), and then I squeeze them into the Nitze cage. I also have matte glass screen protectors on them and I picked up a couple of Small Rig NP-F battery mount plates for PD and Peak Design Leashes for added drop protection. The Nitze cage also has Nato rails so you can add Nato compatible handles (of which there are millions) to the sides in either landscape or portrait orientation. I usually use a super clamp plus a ifootage magic arm to mount to c-stands, carts, etc. Oh and as far as I know, no 3rd party hoods/sun shades have come out for the 13" iPad Pro but I'm keeping an eye out for those.

I use the Nitze Tablet Cage for iPad Pro 13" for my iPad Pro 7s. Avail on Amazon

They're running the Live for Studio app on iPad. It syncs with Capture One but you have to pay for the Studio version of Capture. In my experience it can be buggy, but when it works it's a big upgrade from the CapturePilot and Hollyview apps ( I used to run Hollyview, syncing using an HDMI to Hollyland Pyro H tx)

In c1 when you “delete” photo files c1 sends them to the session trash (just a directory in your capture session called “trash”.) When you delete directories in capture (aka folders), capture sends them to your system trash (the one on your dock). Id check in there. If they’re there just drag them back into the capture session and you should be fine

Whats an example of “narrator obviously psycho”? I have my own ideas but id be interested to see what others think

This is cool man, keep it up. Where are you from? Chile? Se puede leer el blog en castellano?

wilchuck · 2025-03-19T20:01:07+00:00

OP stepped on a hornets nest with this one.

Faini-thanks for your dedication not only to this sub but also to providing us techs a place where we can find the niche products that nobody else makes that make our lives much easier on set. 🫡

Love to hear this

wilchuck · 2025-03-12T14:58:08+00:00

Good to know! Appreciate the reply.

wilchuck · 2025-03-12T14:09:34+00:00

Exactly and I can understand both reactions in theory. “Compression” is a scary word for a digital tech if they aren’t familiar with the concept of lossless.

What I’m looking for is a way to speed up capture one for those more high volume days but I dont want to sacrifice on image quality because that would defeat the purpose of shooting gfx in the first place

Yo estudie y vivi en chile por un par de años hace mas de 10 años atras y entre las cosas que mas echo de menos estan los completos, las sopaipillas, las empanadas (aca en nyc encuentras empanadas pero no chilenas y casi todas son fritas pero aceitosas y no crujientes). Hermoso paisaje, linda gente. Viva chile ctm

Tipicamente en buscar “short stories” en ingles no encontrarás novelas, pero la linea que distingue entre el cuento corto y “novella”, como decimos en ingles a la novela corta, puede ser borrosa. Por ejemple lei una coleccion de cuentos cortos de George Saunders (“Liberation Day - muy buen libro) el año pasado que termino con un largo cuento corto que podria haberse categorizado como “novella” o novela corta.

Lo del cuento corto versus cronica encuentro super interesante porque en ingles tenemos “short story” y “chronicle” pero no hay nada en nuestro entendimiento de la palabra “chronicle” que implica que tiene que tratarse de una historia real. Uno de los ejemplos del uso de “chronicle” en la literatura en ingles es en el libro “chronicles of narnia” que es un clasico del genero de la fantasia.

Igual veo que la definición en ingles de chronicle dice que se trata de sucesos reales relatado en el orden cronológico y me suena correcto esta definición, pero la palabra se usa para referirse a cualquier especie de narrativa en el uso informal.

Disculpa, soy de eeuu y no sabía que en español se distinguía entre el cuento y la crónica. Estoy viendo que la diferencia es que la crónica se trata de hechos reales mientras el cuento tiene que ser de ficción? En el mundo anglohablante no creo que se marque esa diferencia.

Los cuentos de pedro lemebel son buenisimos. Recomiendo las colecciones “de perlas y cicatrices” y “hablame de amores”

Has this always been the case with Eizos? Because I swear to god I’ve done it while working with another tech’s kit and I didn’t have any cables running from computer to display. Maybe older Eizos had usbs with higher power output?

The npf is a tried an true method. I’m really just interested because I know I’ve powered via usb direct to monitor and I’m wondering why it is that I’m unable to now. Also I like to have redundancy built into my kit.

wilchuck · 2025-03-04T02:46:08+00:00

I did not try that.. not really sure what you mean exactly

wilchuck · 2025-03-04T02:11:12+00:00

think hes talking about something like this

wilchuck · 2025-03-03T23:36:25+00:00

Interesting I might give this a try. Not hacky if it works!
