I have not used ML for the Mark 3: have you? I noticed it's very hard to get focus right, even with the DP4, when shooting wide for an establishing shot. Does ML offer zoom function while shooting? That's what I need to confirm focus!! I was in a theater last night and wanted to pan from someone sitting next to me on the balcony to a shot of the podium and I could not determine focus on the podium.

And the Ninja is yet to come!! I have an AKG omnidirectional mic comparable to the ME66 I believe but it's phantom power only... <br />Maybe I'll just use my Zoom H1 after all... I've been trying out a couple of different configurations and I really like my old Varizoom LST shoulder support with the arm resting on my belly. Keeps the weight off my shoulder and allows me to focus with one hand without going off-balance. SmallHD DP4 EVF on the camera shoe and a little magic arm screwed into the side of the Manfrotto plate with the H1 attached to it(so cool, never used those threads before!) Got a shoot coming up tomorrow and will report on my findings!Jeroen Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435448537547023350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123452922456141122.post-36583717371081628032013-04-22T06:06:15.159-07:002013-04-22T06:06:15.159-07:00Hey jeroen
Happy birthday. :-)
support system I u...Hey jeroen<br />Happy birthday. :-)<br /><br />support system I use the SM1 shoulder mount.<br />You have 1 somewhere.<br />Cheap and still the best solution for run and gun.<br /><br />I have a couple of different rigs for the 5D.<br />Every system i have has been developed around the manfrotto mounting plate adapter. <br />I think you have some lying around at your place.<br />maybe i can send you some foto's.<br />Have 1 rig with the zacuto EVF mounted,with shoot 35 follow focus system.<br />another rig with just the follow focus and the zacuto Z finder pro attached on the 5D screen<br /><br />I have the Sound-devices mixpre-d with a manfotto mounting adapter fixed on top so that any of the 2 rigs<br />can mount on top of that. <br />Everything is completely modular, based on the manfrotto plates. ( very cool system ). <br /><br />Over audio. <br />I have had both the Rode videomics inc Pro version.Built in suspension mount IMO sucks.<br />They're Ok. not great. (handy for traveling)<br />for about the same you could pick up an occasion ME 66 sennheiser shotgun mic /rode sm3 cameramount set.<br />Marktplaats +/- 200euro.( nieuw 500/600 bucks)<br />its a bit longer but sound is a lot better, it has a longer reach aswell and has a hot signal which means you dont have to crank the gain up on the 5D as much as the NTG rode mics.<br />.<br />The ME 66 is also better than the rode NTG 1 NTG 2 mics. they are sensitive to handling noise have less reach.<br />I've had those aswell, all sold on. <br /><br />The problem with the 5D audio is you cant run the level above 25/30% gain or the internal preamps start hissing at you.( not nice ).<br />I know you have the zoom H1 en H4n in your collection. But when you run and gun you dont want all the excess baggage with you.<br /><br />Lens<br />Also have the 24-105L is. great most of the time.<br />sharp at F4.<br />canon 70-200L 2.8 allways shine's great lens.<br /><br />for low light.<br />sigma ex50mm 1.4 great in the dark, nice bokeh, sucks in auto focus mode.sharp from F2 ( typical sigma QC ).<br />This lens is also 77mm filter thread so the ND filters fit all the lenses.the focus ring is huge aswell so focusing manual feels nice and smooth.<br /><br />I am sure that nice set of old Carl zeiss Jene's of yours will shine on the 5D.<br />Just remember DOF is really shallow with the full frame sensor.<br /><br />jeroen we should get together in the summer and go shoot somthing.<br />I should have the atomos ninja 2 by then. <br />thats my Birthday present to myself.<br /><br />grz Soundmanneal<br /> <br /> <br /><br /><br />Neal McDiarmidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806595996161418599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123452922456141122.post-29591712539207154572013-04-22T00:20:35.696-07:002013-04-22T00:20:35.696-07:00April 27, Neal, the BIG 5-0.

Havent checked your blog for a while.
...Hey Jeroen <br />Havent checked your blog for a while.<br /><br />Got myself a mk3 a few months ago,rigged it up with the zacuto evf, sound devices mixpre-D,Sennheiser MKH 60 up top,Senn ME66 powered for when i run and gun on camera hotshoe.<br />Just the Atomos ninja 2 to go.( then the SSD drive,s extra batteries ETC ETC.)<br />it never ends.<br />the cool thing with the ninja is it has 4ch audio<br />So the mixpre-D can go direct to ninja 2 aswell as the mk3.<br />The 5D 3 kills the bottom end. 250hz and below seem to vanish while recording.<br /><br />whens the birthday.<br />mine's 26th april .the BIG 50 year 1.<br /><br />greeting uit Den Haag <br />Soundmanneal.<br /><br />Neal McDiarmidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806595996161418599noreply@blogger.com
