Hey Robert, is this your video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuc9hmx7sJ8

If so, what camera and adapter was it shot with? I like it very much!

Hi Robert,

From your image, it looks like the HV10 is simply "resting" on the cavision rods tripod mounting plate.. is this true?

Also, so did you use this instruction for the HV10 as well?

thanks
Yang

Hi there near-namesake!

Your rig is very impressive!

How much light (how many stops?) do you lose by shooting through the DOF adapter? How wide can you go with lenses? How quiet is it?

Any night-time footage?

HV10 upside down -> 5mm sponge -> cavision plate
i use the HV10 strap for more fixating to the cavision
the adapter and the HV10 hardmounted
and the adapter fixed to the cavision with the "pipe vice metal ring"

yes the tutorial OK

Hi brada, thanks :)

light loss... i dont know... but i use Canon Ee-A focusing screen ..is very bright ! absolute no vignetting with f2.8 or better lenses on the screen

Karel Bata · October 31st, 2007, 12:41 PM

I wasn't thinking about vignetting - though I'm glad to hear it's not a problem - I wondered if there might be any limitations with wide angle lenses or going wide on a zoom. Maybe my question's a dumb one...

And you must have shot in dark places without the DOF, how does having it on there compare? Is it at all limiting?

Yang Wen · October 31st, 2007, 03:49 PM

What about sound recording? Since when upside down, the mic is covered up...

Sorry Karel my english very poor maybe the translate not correct...

wide angle : i use Sigma 20mm f1.8 and no problem

i not compared in the dark but the HV20 more better in lowlight..
maybe later i make some lowlight tes footage.. with my vibrating adapter

Yang,

enough the sponge half HV10 lenght ..the mic is free not covered !

Karel Bata · November 1st, 2007, 03:16 AM

Your english is very good. So good in fact that I didn't take account of the fact that I ought to have been clearer. My bad.

Your low light test - it is hard to tell just how low it is! Any chance of some footage of the world's first electric metro? That would be a good test. (Or maybe you are not in Budapest?)

And what are those marks at top left and right?
