Hi there, from the UK, Kent at DVinfo.net

Richard Grebby · May 29th, 2007, 04:36 PM

I thought I would do a quick introduction while im here.
As you can guess, my name is Richard, Ive just finished my film degree and am in the process of getting a portfollio of work.
So far im doing the prep for an actor showreel and a documentry which will be released after summer.

My camera gear is growing since leaving university, the main interesting bits include a Canon XL1.
My tripod isnt all that special though. Although its very smooth. Its a 501 Manfrotto head on 055ssb legs. Yeah, a video head on a photo set of legs. I want to take the legs off, fit a ball joint?? to a better set of legs but I cant figure out how to get the 501 head off the 055 legs. Maybe someone can help.

Anyway, I live in the UK down in the south east in Kent.
I made up a quick myspace page for contacts so feel free to stop by and say hi. www.myspace.com/rjgfilm
I will put my graduation film up as soon as I find out how to take it from DVD and upload to youtube.

Anyway, hopefully people here will be able to add some insight to a new camera operator.

Thanks for reading.

Hi Richard, welcome aboard DV Info Net, it's good to have you with us!

For your tripod questions I would take a look around our Tripod Sticks & Heads forum. You can also search in just that forum.

Good luck,
