May 16, 2010 at 7:28 pm in reply to: DSLR Video Production Kit Recommendations with PricingPersonally It would bother me if the link to products could be seen as biased. Even the suggestion of bias would put me off. I’ve nothing against folk making a few bucks but you can never look totally unbiased with that cheque in the post.

I can see there being a modular system where the sensor and lens attachment are a block that can be plugged into the body of your choosing. One body can be set out for video another body for DSLR then you could have modules for just about anything. It’s all happening with support rigs and other stuff so why not the camera too. I so want that to happen.

The best way to find out about it’s content is to watch it all the way through. I do recommend doing this.

The filter wrenches that Robbie mentions look the business but drastic measures may be needed if the thread or filter ring is damaged.
I dropped my lens just a few months ago and luckily it landed on the filter which took most of the force. Unluckily the filter ring had a dent in it which jammed it on to the lens and nothing would budge it.
I ended up running a thin ring of blue tac around the inside of the lens and cut a circle of cardboard the diameter of the inside of the lens which made a seal.
Then, (cover your ears if you are a bit sqeamish) I hacksawed through the filter ring and managed to peel the filter ring out of the thread. (you can uncover your ears now). I had to do a lot of delicate cleaning because the filter had smashed and there were a few tiny pieces of glass still hanging around in the thread of the lens.
Obviously this was drastic measures for for a disasterous dent but I thought I’d toss it into the ring in case it’s of any use. It makes a nice horror story to tell other photographers.

I’ve got a couple of the 32gb Transend cards and never had a problem. Like Robbie says they are not the speediest to download but if you are on a tight budget they are great.

If you raise the maximum length setting of the spline that you are sweeping along. This may help.
