Gebbs, I've gone through 3 bodies all with stuck pixels of some kind. It's very disappointing. I actually have two XLH1's with the SAME problem. It's amazing for paying in total 20k for these canon cameras that something so simple would taint extremely important footage. Though the most recent 5D body I have received barely shows a slight blue group way left that could even be considered out of bounds. I've only scene it using 6400 iso (which i never "actually" use). So I guess I am back being a believer in this camera. The lens choice and quality is too amazing to give up!

I was #4 ;)

thanks,

stopping and thinking for 5 min before you shoot goes a long way.

For sure! I've really been paying attention to your blogs/ listened to Patrick and Amina's F-Stop Beyond interview/Subscribed to your vimeo channel/got me to invest into cinevate products and have really just learned a whole lot! Wanted to say Thank You!

Patrick offered a few video posts ago a special pricing on steadicams via "SM" referrals into Calumet. I definitely still plan on emailing you guys but need to wait about a month or so. Thanks for the offer!

we love our car rigging too.

there is nothing like the adrenaline of holding bare 5d in your hands and sticking it out the window it the rain
:)

hey Pedro,

we rig it up with the matte box and cage from cinevate.com

it certainly helps with the weight plus the cage also protects the camera.

hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for your reply. That helped a lot.
I went to their website and will buy the matte box kit.
How about the follow focus system? Do you find it to be essential?
What wireless ff systems do you guys know other than the Bartech?
My idea is to use de 5D on a Flyer.
thanks
Pedro

it's not a first one :)

we had a few before

greetings!
