Anyone attending WPPI in Las Vegas this year? I know it's a photographer's convention, but I'll be there and was wondering if anyone else from the boards here was planning to be there.

I was actually planning on going but I have two weddings that weekend....eeeerg.Have fun!

Ryan

I will be there from Sunday night to Thursday night.

Considering a Sunday - Monday jaunt. Whether or not there's gear to see, I have something to gain on the marketing/branding/business side... These guys have been out-charging us for too long.

We'll be in Vegas for WPPI from the 16-20.

Cool, we should meet for lunch or something sometime that week. I'll look at the schedule and see when might work best. If you have a preference, feel free to post when you'd like to meet up.

Hey guys. Give me a call once you're in Vegas and we'll figure out a time to hook up for lunch or something.

Man, where were all you guys last year!?!?!?

Hope to see many (if not all) of you @ NAB.

So how is it?? Couldn't make it but I'll be at NAB for sure... Hope to see you all there.

Michael, I was there last year .. just didn't know you guys were going until after it was over, lol.

Kevin, I'm not heading to NAB this year. I'm sure we'll hook up some other time, though.

I will be attending WPPI from the 7th - 10th.
Looking forward to it.:o)

I'll be there! Travis, would love to meet up with you my friend, Bart I know we've already talked about meeting up as well. Kevin, we've met at NAB, but I wouldn't mind bumping into you again. Michael we met at NAB two years ago I think it was. Bruce, you're the only one I haven't met! I would love to connect with as many of you as possible! 661-549-1986

Andrew, sounds good!

If you're going to WPPI and you'd like to meet up, post your cell phone # so we can all coordinate down the road. d;-)

Definitely thinking about NAB.....want to see what Canon has up its sleeve for the camcorder division.

Ill be there Travis! Lets ask Bruce to throw a party at his Suite!

Did anyone attend WPPI previously ?
is it only photography or does it also have Video involved ?

Jason, that's awesome. We'll finally get to meet! By the way, I've already been chatting with Bruce to arrange dinner for Monday night, maybe Joe too since he'll be in town with Bruce. Would Monday night for you? Post your cell # or send it to me via PM if you prefer. d;-)

Also, are you going to the "Airhorns & Lasers" party on Sunday night?

We've been attending WPPI for years and I'll say it's almost entirely geared towards photography. One year they did have a 'video class' but it wasn't worth it in my opinion. Our studio provides both photography and cinematography services, so that's why we attend.

Hey Travis,
Yeah, we also offer photo & video.
This is going to be our first year, but I'm only going to the tradeshow.
Not the classes.
It's just for meeting some people there to do business with and looking for new ideas.

Cool. The tradeshow is great for photographers, especially if you've never been before. It's like visiting Santa at the North Pole right before Christmas. d;-)

Even if you're into video you can find a few things to enjoy. Last year I hung for a while at the Tiffen booth and got them to fit me out with a Steadicam Pilot .. and I then ran around the tradeshow floor with it for like 25 minutes just playing

I would ran out the door and never return. hehe :o)
Yeah, I think it will be great.
I have a steadicam Pilot and I have my XHA1 dynamically balanced on it, but I just can't get my 7D dynamically balanced on it and it's driving me crazy.
Maybe they can help me out and Andrew already told me he would bring his so I can try that. ;o)

I've managed to get my 7D dynamically balanced on a pilot.... WAY better than I was ever able to get an A1 balanced. It took a lot of tweaking, but my 7D is looking really solid and flies REALLY well.... also, being able to go 10mm wide helps A LOT. I have the V-Lock model Pilot. Which is yours Bart?

How can you tell the difference ? ;o)
I just bought the Steadicam-Pilot, but I think it was the VLB, but I'm not.
Do you bring your steadicam to WPPI Andrew ?

Yeah, the VLB is the V-Lock version with IDX Batteries. Yeah, I'll bring it! Sorry, I haven't gotten back to you on those movie backlot tours... I'll find out and let you know!

Great, we'll probably meet eachother there. ;o)
I'm packing up now and we'll be leaving in 9 hours.
Vegas here we come !

Hi Travis,
I assume you are coming to NAB as well?

If so, would love to hook up
