Thanks for your answers, I have Panasonic BD player sitting out in my car, I was going to return it to Wally World and order Apple TV. Now I’m not sure what I’m going to do.

Thanks for answer to the question.
In answer to your question; that is my signature, been using it for years, it sums up where I’m coming from, the type of work I do, the life I live.

Bob, Bob Bob,
You don’t want D-1 machines in your suite! You need either D-5 or Digital Betacams so you can Pre-read. My choice for switcher: Abekas A-83. I know it’s just an analogy but it does bring back memories, when being an Post Editor actually meant something.

You know there are times I miss editing on the Cube and the Sphere! Of course I miss editing on my CMX OMNI and 3600 too!

Why would I want to jeopardize a feature documentary, a PBS Series and a host of other projects “just to be first?

“To seek out new life, new civilizations, TO BODLY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE!

Sorry Guys,
I’ve been away from my e-mail all day…. I did shoot from a Tyler mount by the way. As far as quality level of the camera, you did see the part of my post that said “indie film” and all associated budget issues. ( I wanted to shoot with RED Ha ha Ha.) I was really trying to find out if 24p was the kiss of death as far as helicopter shooting goes, and I what i get out of you guys is no, this is not “the” killer factor. I had another friend who shot on either the same or similarily equipped aircraft (There are at least 2 and maybe 4 Tyler mount Jet Rangers in Texarkana, USA) with a HMC-150 and got great footage, but he probably was shooting at 1080 60i
Thanks for your responses, and any other input would be greatly appreciated.

I did not see any wobble, but I do church work, so there’s not a lot of high speed panning going on.
Like I said in my previous post, my test was by no means comprehensive. But what I saw I liked!

I had a 300 on demo over the weekend.
I used a Hpx-500 all last year, and if I had to choose between the two, I would choose the 300. The AVCIntra is great, and if I understand correctly there is no pixel shifting going on. Great viewfinder, and lighter than the 500. I was not able to do a comprehensive test though.

Maybe politics should stay off the Cow….. I personally think Sarah Palin is the best thing to happen to this country!.
Oh what a diverse group we are!
