Re: Mobile Cyclorama

Making a permanent studio fixture, into a mobile one, there’s always going to be something which has to be compromised. Size is usually top of the list, but maybe look into something like this at B&H. -

Re: Mobile Cyclorama
These are all great suggestions! @Graham - If you look at the https://www.bristolvfx.com/ link Geoff sent. Their product called VFX100U or L is almost exactly what I had in mind. @Geoff - Thanks for the resource! If i ever need a green screen, this will be perfect. I was hoping to find something exactly like this but would work for white. I don't think this will work if I had white fabric right? Even if I light it properly, you would most likely see the creases? Best, David

Re: Mobile Cyclorama
These guys have a range of mobile screens etc…
I’ve used their kit a lot in the past, they are always helpful and although they show green I’m sure they can do any colour you need.

You might want to consider a pop up frame like companies use for trade shows (remember them?). I’ve seen some that accordion out to form a 10’x10’ wall but compact down to a very portable size. Then you just get a fabric “skin” to put on top of it and let it extend onto the floor. That way you could just wash it for reuse. Mitch Gross New York

What size are you thinking? I would have suggested seamless, since it’s an obvious choice.

Mobile Cyclorama
David De Souza
Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to create a mobile white cyc? Something more durable than seamless paper or cloth. I would like it to be as close to a permanent white cyc as possible with the flexibility building it rather quickly and taking it away at the end of a shoot. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,

Re: Settings on Cinetape
chris.applemac@...
The manual was always vague on the real use.
Think of it like this, At 1, the readout tells us to the inch when an object moves. At 2, the resolution is now only 2 inches. At a positive value, it will readout constantly even if the object has not changed distance, i.e. it will constantly update 5'5" as it senses. (depending on how you set your sensitivity.) At the -1 or -2 value, it will not change the readout until there is a definite change in the subject distance, (i.e. movement starts to happen.) I personally do not like this mode as its not very accurate and the display can sometimes seem like it's stuck. I'm used to the jumpy numbers. TL:DR the minus values are less jumpy on the display and will only change when there's definite movement.

Re: D-tap voltage
Roger Phenix
some batteries with multi-D-taps on the side specify a max current supplied at each. Some plates with D-tap have a built in replaceable fuse. So one can't assume it's always "direct from the battery". Usually the spec sheet will warn you if battery damage, through misapplication or defective cabling, is a possibility.

the original idea of D-Tap was ro drive lights on Betacams. So they were connected direct from the onboard battery, and was not regulated to provide the maximum current available.
Its assumed D-tap is 12V, but could be up to 16V with lithium batteries.

Re: D-tap voltage
Roger Phenix
Hawk-Woods makes adaptors that are regulated. They have a plate that provides 4 D-tap sockets regulated to 12V. They also make cables with in-line modules to regulate voltage to 12 v. It's possible that these will down-regulate from 16.5 to 12 v, but perhaps not up-regulate from 7 to 12 (?), but you can talk to them. Messages that are not signed will be rejected...

Re: D-tap voltage
Graham Futerfas
On my Movi Pro gimbal, where I use DJI's TB50 batteries, I have a special cable made that runs an extra D-Tap output straight off the batteries. It’s 26 volts, not the standard 12-16 volts, so I have to be careful which accessories I plug into it.
I chose a D-Tap connector for this accessory cable because I own so many D-Tap cables in my kit, but the battery plate also has a Lemo output if I want it. The Movi only offers a limited amount of current draw through its built-in D-Taps, so I mostly use this as an additional accessory port. Most accessories these days, like wireless focus MDR’s or wireless video transmitters, are tolerant up to 30V, so they work very well, but some aren’t. For example, Preston MDR 3 and 4 are 30V tolerant, but the older MDR2 is 12V. I don’t usually run the camera from this 26 volt port, but RED’s are 11.5 to 17 volts only, while Arri is happy with 10.5 to 30 volts.

There are some plates and cables from various accessory makers that offer P-Taps with 12v regulated power.

D-tap voltage
Saul Oliveira
Hope everyone is ok and safe,
I am comparing the on-board 12v batteries specs. The D-tap conexion states de Amps but never seems to specify the exact voltaje. I´m wondering, do D-Taps provide always regulated 12v because that defines the standard or do they provide what voltage the battery state is. Same for the D-taps in on-board battery plates and so on.

Re: "Isolation Production"
Andrew Jerram
Thanks for sending this through Guys! Obviously this is something we are all looking into worldwide. Its great if we can share these documents even if they are drafts. lots of great ideas and also common sense thinking in this draft.
There will always be some “issues” with time that will be difficult for production and Key Creatives to understand that this will add a lot of time inbetween takes and setups due to the social distancing proposals.
Great to start seeing some ideas. Keep them coming! 🙏

Thanks for sharing Dan. I’m the vice chair of the BECTU Camera Branch in London & I’d just like to make it clear that this BECTU document is a draft that was never really meant for publication - it’s been put together by the ADs Branch for consultation with other branches, & Camera Branch hasn’t had any input yet. It got out onto social media at the weekend somehow & made for a very busy Saturday for me ;-) I’ve also been asked to say, wherever I see it shared, that the email address for comments (from the UK only please) is channeltwograpevine@... Thanks Jon Howard Camera Operator & Vice Chair Camera Branch London UK
