hansel Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hey, I hope you don't cruzify me for trolling but I am spending my time at a fair at the moment and there are video crews shooting all the time at our stand and it is quite interesting to see what they are shooting with and how. All the standarts have been here but I just wanted to share this one that blew me away... Flatpack all-in-one video rig. There is a mic plugged in which a lady is holding interviewing the bearded gentleman, LED light on top and mic holder, too. sorry for the poor photo quality jonpais 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Silly Asians, always taking footage with their tablet. I'm interested in the Rollei cage though. Fits a bunch of cameras. Nice expandability. I've seen projects like the one above on crowdfunding campaigns (Kickstarter/Indiegogo). Though I guess they're more for smartphones and GoPros. jonpais and hansel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I just finished watching an episode of Three Blind Men and an Elephant shot on the streets of Manhattan with an iPhone and DJI Osmo Mobile that looked good enough on my 15" MBPr. Sometimes I think we emphasize gear too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 And what would you call an iPhone and DJI OSMO? Expensive gear and an 'elaborate' set-up too. And smartphones are the new compact camera, exactly what that has always been: 'good enough'. Just tourists, or just Asians without a interchangeable lens camera, seem to always use their tablets to take shots... which are not exactly known to rival compact cameras. They fall more in the webcam category, I'd say and well, frankly, it just looks so wrong to do. xD jonpais, Kisaha and Don Kotlos 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And seeing Vietnamese (or anyone, for that matter) shooting with a tablet does make me cringe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
