hope you guys like my stuff. If anybody has a used glidecam for sale hit me up because im interested.
 
Been working on this. Cost me probably 15 20 bucks total. my friend is a welder and made me pieces to use.

I just had it on there for show, I can mount it farther back using a monitor arm and the 1/4" 20 top screw hole
 
T2i with ml + the accessories you had > stock hvx with mic. Hope you expand on that setup cus once you get the right accessories you'll be set. As for my setup I got canon t2i (no ml hack til I get a fitting sd card), 17-40 f/4, 18-55 kit, 55-200 (worse than kit), vivitar 28mm prime f/2.8 (such a fun lens to shoot with), glidecam 2000, manfrotto 701hdv. Hopefully picking up either a 70-200 f/4 or 24-105 f/4 when I get some cash flow. I guess I'll post pictures tomorrow of my rig.
 
That's very subjective. The only thing the hvx lacks really is the DOF option, if you really want shallow DOF on an hvx you can do it if you know what you're doing. The weight could be a con with the hvx, but its really not. the hvx is 1000 times the camera that the t2i is, jamie made the right choice IMO.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all saying the hvx is not on par with a t2i (trust me, if I had the money I would purchase an hvx or hmc in a heartbeat) but the fact that you've gotta basically start all over lens and accessory wise (assuming he's not using a 35mm adapter) can be a little tough to buy all at once given were not on a professional budget. Toe to toe the hvx takes dumps on any asp-c dslr but a stock hvx compared to a loaded DSLR, I'd have to go with the DSLR
 
Damn enter button... I'd have to go with the loaded DSLR just because of how many more options that may lead to given a wider variety of lenses and a glidecam with corresponding weight capacity.
 
Meh, its nice to use different glass here and there, but with a wide angle for the hvx, shits unstoppable and its nots like the dslr has a glidecam advantage. A "loaded" dslr rig can be finicky and problematic, believe me ive shot a few days on hill with a 7d and 1dmkIV and the hvx is flat out easier and more convient. Granted, when the opportunity arises i will be buying an af100 or fs100 so i can use whatever glass i want, for now id rather shoot hvx over a dslr and i think jamie has seen that light.

on a side note, if i had 2500 laying around that i had to spend, id get a 5d just for 24p shit.
 
Eff shallow DOF...wide angles for fixed-lens cameras are a joke. I'll take a rectilinear image with moire over a barrel-distorted p2 cam any day. Sure long lens is my forte, but if you need to zoom any farther than the fixed-lens allows, you're hosed.
 
that comment was like when you used to make fun of people for have too crisp of an image because you liked the film look more.

And? Film is so great because it relies on optics for sharpness, not digital processing. It's not that I don't like sharp images, it's that I don't like overprocessed images.

And auxiliary lenses have always been a huge pet peeve of mine. I use hpx170s for work, and they're awesome cameras, but honestly I would rather use a 7D because optics are more important than any of that other stuff. Why? Because geometry is the most important aspect of composition, and those cheap lens adapters restrict the potential for great wide images by compressing everything into the same circular, fuzzy, CA-infested image.
 
meh, i'm liking the HVX much more than the t2i. It was a pain to drag around a whole bunch of shit for different shots (having a backpack full of shoulder rig, filters, glidecam, camera, lenses, and whatnot was getting WAY too heavy!) now its just a camera, wide angle, mic, and glidecam, the camera has built in ND's which is so nice to have. So glad I have zoom and in camera audio back too, and I'm loving the p2 workflow so far. looks much better and is way easier to work with than that h.264 crap
 
Ive never had that problem. Also, 450 for the century .6x isn't exactly cheap. Sure there is some distortion, but my images with it are very sharp and have no CA.
 
If you haven't noticed any problems, then more power to you. I think mine were always soft because I never use in-camera sharpening (I shouldn't have to). Plus I couldn't get past the distortion...

Then there's the issue of telephotos, which is my real gripe since I much prefer shooting long. The telephoto adapters hardly do anything and they are optically lame. Plus they cost about as much as a 70-200 f/4.

At risk of sounding blasphemous, I almost like the h.264 codec over the p2 in one way: its unforgiving. I've gotten much better at eyeing the light now that I don't have colorspace to fall back on.
 
I cringed when you said that, im depressed that any new camera i want to buy now will be h.264 or avchd :(
 
Not a big deal. External recorders have always been the way to go anyway. Now that they're becoming affordable, no reason to fret.
 
Yeah, you're right. The ninja is only like 600 total with the flash drive, but the nano flash is my dream.
 
oh definitely, the HPX is a killer camera, just a bit out of my price range atm. Maybe I'll just save up for one and an external recorder instead of an HVX + 5DII
 
Bump because I no longer own a single thing from my original picture... :/

Now post how much your setup has changed!

Well.. here she is right now. Want to add rails/FF/cage but not sure if it's worth the money. Can anyone compare to one of the cheap halo fig rigs? I'm planning on mounting my mic, recorder, preamp, and external monitor. (Though I may just place the monitor in the shoe and mount the rest on the rig.) A follow focus is pretty important to me so I'm thinking about getting some rails to put between the base of the halo rig and bottom of the camera and mounting the FF to that.
