WOW! :-o

I see you used other cameras than just the 1D C on this, what else were those?

Just wrapped our music video shoot with the 1DC using Leica R glass. I directed and had an amazing DP here in Nashville shoot it. He never used the camera before and wasn't used to the full frameish image and got too close to our actor while she was swinging an axe and it put a gash on his head. Blood spewed everywhere but he was ok. Paramedics took him to the hospital and thankfully he only needed a few stitches and was fine. We still were able to finish up the shoot with me operating and having our gaffer also be a DP today. Excited to show you guys the final product. Lots of VFX in this one so it'll be a while in post. 1DC was a champ with the exception of one of the duclos modded lenses (the 24mm). The lens element went too far back and would jam the mirror on the 1dc which caused an error. An issue never faced with an actual "video" camera. Basically we had to take the lens off, then turn on the camera, then go into live view mode... Then put on the lens. Other than that the camera worked great. Plus the weather sealing really helped protect the camera from all the blood! .............

Here is all the blood on the camera. 

Here is all the blood after I wiped it up this morning...

It never came up as a problem for us on this shoot. We were jerking the camera around quite a bit too. Never really noticed it. I'm sure it's there if you look hard enough. But I don't think it will be an issue.

You can contact Movcam directly if you want to purchase the rig.

Awesome. Does that rig keep the camera from twisting inside the cage?

Nice find! So I just replace the rod on the side with a longer one to fit the 1DX Mark II? If so, that's a hell of a deal!

You sir are "earning the shot", well done!

Handheld with a zacuto EVF. I really love the small size of it  especially for this run and gun type shooting.

Here are some screen grabs from my shoot here in Mexico. All 1dc at 4K with my CONTAX Zeiss glass. Graded with color finale and shot in Canon Log  

Michaels video blog is the only good thing that has come out of this.
This is like a real life sherlock holmes adventure
 

Oooooowwwww

I have offered to sell my LCDVFE by Kinotehnik to Dave - it's a must have for this camera.  Can't wait to see future pictures of the entire setup if he decides to buy it.  Here's a screen grab from a guy using the 1dc + the LCDVFE (and a mic):

Took this photo with my 1D C today with my CONTAX Zeiss 50mm f1.4. I've been shooting stills with an X-T1 for a while now as that was my only stills camera.... I forgot how much of a pleasure it is to shoot with a dslr! I'm buying a manual focusing screen to add to the camera to help assist me with all my manual glass. I don't own any EF glass at the moment. Just my duclos modified CONTAX set with EF mount 

Got it!

I'm in Birmingham, AL Dave. PM me sometime if you're in the area or need another 1dc!

Yeah now that I think about it, reliability is priceless when you're using it for big jobs. I don't know if I'd take the risk knowing that is was drenched in water.

I wish Canon would offer a major firmware update for 1DC sometime in the future, just like what they did to original 7D.
