Howdy from Big D -- Dallas, Texas

There's going to be an all day event at the Richardson Civic Center on Friday May 19th called Texas Production Roundup. Maybe that would be a good opportunity for the Dallas DVi gang to hook up. The event is sponsored by Dallas Producers Association and the DFW branch of MCA-I and will have displays and seminars from major manufacturers (Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Apple, Avid) as well as local/regional production suppliers.

Ugh....I'm going on a shoot in Oklahoma that weekend. I'm scheduled to leave on the 19th around noon, dangit! I just won't be able to squeeze the event in that morning; got too many ducks to line up for the shoot.

Poop. :-(

I am flying back from Kansas City on the 19th. Don't know if I will have time to get over there cause I have a gig that night in Coppell. All depends on what flight I get.

Here's a link with more info on the Texas Production Roundup Friday May 19th in Richardson:

I want to catch the XDCAM HD presentation and I may pop in and out a couple of times for different seminars as my studio is just down the street. Maybe we'll see some of the DFW DVi crowd there. Let me know if you're planning on going.

I've just purchased a PT-20 Camera Turret Remote head for cameras up to 20 lbs.
Primarily I plan to use it on my Pro Am 12' jib (see attached pics) and it works just fine.
If any of the local DV Network people need to use it I can arrange a small rental fee for it (if I'm not using it of course).
After months of research I am impressed with the operation of the unit. It's quiet, easy to learn and set up and will fit 90% of all existing cranes/jibs on the market without drilling more holes in your equipment.
With my unit it is stressed a bit but with practice and smooth moves the video is still very smooth. My little jib isn't rated but for 10-12 lbs and with the PT-20 unit (6lbs.) and my XL2 stripped down (8lbs.) it's nearing the 'stretch/weight' limit of what my little jib will do!
But I wanted to let the Dallas boys know that it's here if they would like to use it.

Agree, Scott. We have a lot of members from the metroplex area, myself included. It would also be good if it coincided with Chris Hurd's schedule so that he could join us.
