    Ray,

    They stopped asking us to “power up” a few years ago. But, REMOVE the viewfinder if they make you stow the camera. We just did a return flight with AWA and they put us on a small plane,with small overhead bins. They promised to HAND CARRY the camera down to the tarmac and HAND LOAD it into the plane’s belly. Imagine our eyes when they TOSSED it onto a conveyor belt and we then saw it slide off the end onto the ground. After we found that the EVF was torn of, they replied “We have a contract that says we are not responsible for camera equipment”. However, they voided their own contract when they took our CARRY ON and verbally promised special care in handling. We are presently battling them to pay for the damages. And you know us. We don’t lose. Either way, don’t give it to them. Carrying a small handgun will do the trick if they try to take your gear.

    Southwest has better planes. I doubt you’ll have a problem. Keep your case under 22″ long and check the rules and regs for specifics on carry-on size. Personally, I would use a shoulder case. You know, the glove type of protection that wraps around the camera. Ask if you can pre-board and explain that you need to be careful how you pack it in the overhead. Southwest’s people are actual human beings.

    Birthday is still coming up, by the way.

    Yep. We do it all the time. You still get a very good image that works great for off-line.

    If you go to the BMD website, the info on what comes with the card is listed. Some cards have a breakout cable. Other cables are never included because there are too many possible combinations.

    In all fairness, this is lens dependent. True cinema lenses do not breathe down like consumer lenses. It’s a matter of money.

    make sure you’re not set for RGB and recheck your cables to make sure. Can’t tell you how many times the red and blue have been reversed and it seems like such a simple thing.

    AVID pays $50,000 to get their name in the credits on major motion pictures. It’s all about money.

    Normally, a company pays cash to have their logo at the end of any feature film. Why would you want to give any huge corporation free advertising unless they gave you a free camera or editing system?

    Think about it…
