OP is doing videos for a while, its maybe one of his first customers, but its not his first video. 200€ is way too low, if he asks 200€ now. Offcourse the client will hire him. But you will not be able to negotiate for a much higher price for the next video. They come to you because you are cheap, not because you have skills. You cannot live from a 200€ dayrate (when taxes etc pass through it), then you are better off working for a production company. Well 1000€ per day might be too high as well, over here 1000€ per day in Belgium gets you a veteran DOP with Arri amira + light kit + movi + sliders etc.

I own a ursa mini pro, previous C300 owner. (never shot with a c500). If you need to shoot iso 3200-10000 get a canon c300 - c500. Otherwise get the UMP, it has more dynamic range, better codec options, better slow motion options(Dont know about C500), doesnt need an external raw recorder, you can load up LUTS, not sure what lenses you are going to use but the UMP has anamorphic 3K mode, C300 does not (update: I see contax zeiss set, so that does not apply).

The Ursa mini pro is the clear winner over here. If you expose well there is no FPN. Noise of ump seems to be better then a scarlet mx. Last time I shot with a scarlet mx, it had quite some noise. Didn't see that kind of noise on my ump yet. Under 10K the UMP is the best camera out there. I just came back from IBC, and checked out the C200 and the eva1, liked the image from the ump a lot more(couldn't do major tests though).

Yeah I understand, well I already got the pro and a lot of users upgraded as well. The ursa mini 4.6k is a bit older, so the ump will be sold a lot longer, hence there will be a bigger market for it. So no reason for me to switch back, the ND's + IR are really handy. Yeah if you come to Belgium you can test on mine. But I reckon there are some other UMP shooters in Italy that can help you out.

Let me know when you got it working on a ursa mini pro!

How is the 3,5K compared to the 1080 RAW? Is it more detailed. 1080p is enough resolution for me, but It always lacked detail in my experience(besides DR). Not sure if the the 3,5K is a detail improvement over the 1080p. If not, then I would just use the 1080p.

Well I am trying to dim a quasar science crossfade, they are dimmable. But still looking for a suitable dimmer. Thanks,

Hey, Has anybody got good experience or good links to good deals on a led dimmer? I am looking one to dim some led lights. EU Thanks!

Yeah crazy how good the ursa mini pro holds up next to a F65 or a Alexa mini, especially as they are dirt cheap in comparison.

I don't think they are getting made anymore now that there is TERRA 6K, 5K and now even 4K. Which also makes a lot more sense. Only problem is that they are a Chinese company with crappy communication and support.

Yeah Im thinking about getting one of these, this will save me a lot of time setting up shots.

Yeah probably something that you can switch fast in heights and lock down really fast. As boy, one can sure loose a lot of times on a day changing tripod heights. (clicking open the locks of each leg X3 X3)

yeah 650 for 4 days of work including gear. That is a steal. They will not find a cheaper professional. (I have my share of cheap video's in the past, like 5 recording sessions for a band in the studio, which I had to sync each instrument to the video which turned out in a real nightmare so that was a fasttrack to quiting doing video fast ) But I have a fulltime job which pays my bills, and I am doing only interesting video projects on the side. So I rather turn down 10 crappy video's and do 1 decent instead, even if I would make 2X that much.

Best of luck! How much did you end up quoting?

yeah the latest beta 8 is really shining for me. It outperforms Premiere for editing, coloring and rendering. In the past I used to edit still some projects in Premiere, out of ease and speed. But now Im hooked on resolve. (Still need to test the stabilizer though, probably still isn't as good as warp stabilizer). Are there any good stabilizer plugins for resolve that work great? I want to give reelsteady a try, but it is only for AE.

UMP

Hey Charlie, I checked your website, good work! I think between 500€ and 800€ is fair for 1 day shooting and 1 day editing depending on the project specs.

Hello, Basic wiring question, that I do not have the answer for. I need to plug a tripin on the following cable. The middle cable is for grounding right (3 cables combined)? Nevermind I figured it out.

me too

Hey guys, Does anybody already got the AMD vega? What are your thoughts about it? Its attractive for the crypto miners. The prices from the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 will come down again. The GTX 1080 will still have it beat, but the amd vega is well priced below it. But I am wondering if I should get the amd vega instead of a gtx 1070/1080. (For Davinci Resolve mainly, Premiere second) Greetings,

Hey, I was just wondering if it is possible to use the top handle from the ronin-m as a top handle for a camera. Does anybody know what rail you would need? As this would save me 1 top handle (cost + travel room) Cheers

Im mainly a hobbyist and I am running around with a ursa mini pro . The price of a ursa mini pro is still cheap, for the image that you are getting. And yeah nofilmschool was great for beginner filmmakers, but it seems it has not evolved in years, it just sticks with beginner filmmaking tutorials and articles. So advanced users do no bother with the site anymore.

Maybe it has something to do with red hydrogen. Maybe its an exchange for prores licenses. Or maybe apple engineers are working on the OS for hydrogen. Or compatible ios apps for red hydrogen. As the main issue with hydrogen is that is has its own OS. And no apps will be available for it.

Red didnt even bring a Raven to IBC :D

THANKS, So you would recommend me to buy the arriscope instead of an iscorama then. A 50mm arriscope at 5000€ would that be a good deal? (Its just so hard to find any reviews/pricings on those lenses). And before dropping that amount of cash, it would be good to know if it is worth it, and I can still resell it in some years without losing too much money on them.
