Roll call for NAB2012

Bill Davis · March 19th, 2012, 10:51 PM

I'm in.

Mon thru Thurs. at the Tropicana. (I always stay at whichever hotel is hosting the Supergroup meeting so I can stumble back to my room afterwards!)

Lorinda Norton · March 20th, 2012, 01:13 AM

Committed! (Or should be.) Monday through Wednesday.

Chris Luker · March 20th, 2012, 11:45 PM

Will be there as well!
I've won a progressive $.25 video poker jackpot three years running now...

Calvin Bellows · March 21st, 2012, 12:16 AM

Hoping to be there Monday and half of Tuesday

Allan Black · March 23rd, 2012, 01:31 AM

Looking at the options for high speed data tape storage.

Nigel Akam · March 26th, 2012, 05:19 AM

I'm in from Sun to Wed

Ted Ramasola · March 27th, 2012, 11:42 PM

I'll be dropping in. :)

Matt Gottshalk · March 28th, 2012, 08:16 AM

I'm there and will be at all of the different soirees as well.

Dave Allen · March 29th, 2012, 02:06 AM

I'll be there Wednesday and Thursday....and scoring a couple of 24 hour buffet pass....oh the best buffet is Caesars because they have big ass king crab legs.....not just any ordinary king crabs legs, but BIG-ASS ones.

I did see somewhere some special for the Rio Seafood buffet though at like only $28.....not sure where I saw it, but need to find it again.

I'm looking forward to talking to the Sony guys at the Sony booth so they can once again evidence that even when I find the guy they tell me to talk to, they will not know much about their product, and once again for 3 years running they will not put us as promised on their press release list so that they can avoid us givjng them FREE PUBLICITY. :(

Lee Mullen · March 29th, 2012, 05:35 AM

Wish it went to other countries.

Richard Davidson · March 29th, 2012, 09:33 AM

I will be attending the show Monday through Thursday and will be staying at the LVH. I am kinda a last minute attendee as Chris Soucy (also a DVinfo regular) and I have been working on a counter-balance correction system for tripods that we have been asked to take to NAB with very short notice.

This system will allow users like myself with light cameras to use our tripods as they were meant to, balanced with the proper weight/ camera COG. I will have a few prototypes with me at the show, so look me up and I can show you our new toy.

Monday I will be all over the show, but Tuesday I hope to be spending more time at the Vinten booth, helping people test their light cameras on Vinten support systems, using our new CB100 Counterbalance Correction system. I hope to be attending other support manufacturers stands as the opportunity arises.

We might be lucky enough to see some pics of the system in action in an upcoming review here on DVInfo. Vinten has a few new systems on show, and one of the the reviews (courtesy of Chris Soucy) should be coming out before NAB, so keep a watch if interested. Then if you want to see the real thing, find me at NAB so you can put it through its paces.

Myles Williams · April 6th, 2012, 11:12 PM

This will be my first time attending. NAB is like SEMA for the automotive aftermarket EXCEPT you get to touch and test many of the new products at NAB. I am coming from Long Beach Grand Prix so I can only be there 2 days.

Any advice for a first timer?

No matter what else you do, bring comfortable walking shoes.

It's typical to be on your feet for 8 hours pretty straight - and to cover 10 miles of walking just doing a cursory trek around all the exhibits.

Add that to the size of the Las Vegas hotels where you often have to walk hundreds and hundreds of yards just to get from you room to the bus or monorail stop - and a big show like NAB requires good footwear first and foremost.

FWIW.

Chris Soucy · April 7th, 2012, 11:25 PM

I'm not going, but my business partner Richard ( a few posts above) is, with some prototypes of the CB100.
