My EX1 is coming Monday. I’ll put it on my 20 year old Vinten 5 sticks. I have a sachtler QR plate for going handheld fast. I got the Letus adaptor with a scaled down rail system by zacuto. I just got the V3 bridge plate and front rails with Z riser for fitting Letus. I also got the 7″ rods for behind V3 to fashion my own counterweight. I got Nikon FD and Canon EOS mounts to use my still lens group. I have my eye on a vocas matte box I found online. I used one like it (the 350) on a previous job and really liked it. I’m trying to find the attachment to mount the vocas MB to 15mm rails instead of clamping it. Holding off on Follow focus until I make a buck with the rig!

Got an ESATA two drive enclosure from OWC with E34 card for MacBookP. I think the card is 3G/bit rate max. The 0 Raid is as well so this should be be fast. With my current lacie 500G FW800 I’ll have redundant back up.

Now I need a Matrox card to monitor and use Color.

Upgraded to FCP 6.02 yesterday. Macbook pro 15″ (C2D) loaded Color w/o hiccup but don’t know if it will have the horses for any real workflow.

cheers,
