Thanks for the reply Neil – still not sure how I imported / rendered the wrong footage in the first place but it’s all a lesson I guess?! :0) Thanks again.

Thanks for the tips guys. Phil, do you have the 24-70mm and 70-200mm L Series? If so, do you find not having the 16-24mm range (when combined with the Tokina 11-16mm)covered is a problem or do you really not notice?

The error is applied over all manner of media clips including tifs, jpegs. However, the footage was captured using a Sony Z5e and imported using Log and Capture, imported I believe using HDV 1080i50.

I just opened another project and have the same issue there so it may be FCP in general rather than project specific??

And just to confirm, you’re pleased with the DSLR shoulder mount from them? Was also looking at Glidetrack Shooter HD as a possibility so not sure which to go for now?

Decisions, decisions :0)

Thanks for the tips!! Just been checking out that Cine City website, looks like some great stuff there at not a bad price – wonder if they ship to the UK??

Thanks again

Cheers Chip – well so far, I have been doing mostly corporate case studies, video diary, documentary type stuff; not so much product promo or suchlike.

I guess I may be best suited to a ‘little bit of this, little bit of that approach’?

Appreciate your time and thoughts Noah.

Thanks – in terms of lenses I think I’m sold on the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8; the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 and then perhaps at least 1 L series so perhaps the 70-200 mentioned above.

If nothing else, I think your posts have made me lower my expectation a little bit and realise that even though everyone’s talking about them I don’t necessarily need top spec L glass at this stage.

So if lenses are sorted, what supplementary kit would / do you use in terms of order of importance?

Would a suggestion be?

1) Zoom H4n
2) Sennheiser wireless lavalier mic
3) ND Filters
4) Some kind of shoulder mounted rig support
5) A slider perhaps to really make your shots stand out?

I do only have a limited budget so am trying to make sure I really do get the right stuff to enable me to carry on shooting corporate / case study type films.

Cheers again for all the pointers everyone!
