This is a process where the finish of the aluminum actually gets changed at the molecular level to protect and color the parts, it is what every pro Level piece of gear should be finished in. <span class="fullpost">This is a First for us as we have been using traditional methods of fishing our products to save on time and cost. Even though we are still very much concerned with value when designing products we like to push the envelop and move up in quality of fabrication, All of our new products will be custom fabricated using aluminum, milled with CNC machines and finished in hard finish anodizing.<br /><br /><br />First I like to show the first pictures of the DSLR Accessory cage, Its really small and it wraps around the body of your 5DMK2 or 7D without adding too much size or weight to the rig but it will allow to mount several accessories at the same time like a Zoon HD4, an external monitor, or a microphone. In the front it has the ability to mount the super affordable D|Focus without the need rods. In its simplest form its able to be used as a handheld rig and also to be mounted to a tripod. If you need to use a mattebox, like the one pictured by Genus, you will be able to easily and affordably get a rod attachment and a pair of 6" rods just for the mattebox. Or you can get longer rods and configure the rig with handles and a shoulder pad for a shoulder rig. On the Top of the cage, you'll also be able to attach rod clamps to run a set of rods in both back to front or side to side configuration. Along with and to support the cage we will be offering our own line of very affordable 15mm rods in 6",12" and 24" Also our own handles and rod clamps, raiser blocks and many other cool stuff. We believe this system will be vastly configurable and will be be very popular.<br /><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/001.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35Cage]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/001t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/002.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35Cage]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/002t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/003.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35Cage]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/003t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/004.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35Cage]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/004t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <br> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/005.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35Cage]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/005t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/006.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35Cage]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/006t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/007.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35Cage]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/007t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/008.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35Cage]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35Cage/008t.jpg" width="100" /></a><br /></center><br /><br /><br><br><br />Next, the return of the JAG35SP v2, this is in a whole different category than the v1. The case is now custom milled out of aluminum and again will be anodized black. The battery performance in this adapter is increased from the previous version and noise and optical performance is also worlds appart. Along with the adapter we will be offering affordable mounting solutions, for the very popular among our clients hv40 camera there will be a very simple and very affordable plate for support with out rails. There will also be a universal rods set for all other cameras including a cage to mount your camera upside down for a complete solution. Will be available in canon EF and FD mounts and Nikon and pentax M42 using adapter rings. If you'd like to be kept up to date on the SPs release please submit your email <a href="http://jag35.com/jag35sp.html">here.<br /></a><br /><br />Also in the very early stages of discussion are talks of making our very own affordable matte box, we are really exited as we think we have found a way to get this from concept to finish product in a couple of months. I'd like to thank Genus for creating such an awesome matte box, Currently i think its the best one out there, Some might think its a little pricey but for the features, craftsmanship, and performance we think this is priced correctly, and until we have our own you will see us using it and recommending it. Here is the Latest FreshDV <a href="http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/freshdv/video/freshdv_reviews_genus_mattebox/">review</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">UPDATE:</span> Here is the first prototype we came up with, still needs a lot of work but here is what we will aim for, will be out of carbon fiber to keep super light weight, Will be able to use it as a shade, just screwed on the front of the lens or supported with 15mm rails. Will support french flag and side flags, one fixed stage for 4x4 filter and upgradeable to 2 stages 1 rotating and 1 fixed. Lots of work ahead of us.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVup8pm6fsU3RGKrzqGHCASmiCEqPahD7mdUpRUbeGU4PFirFNUcBTcxV9g3K7ks2MHsVEXvVDnT5lNvkA8KfT3YkN0iMBrRekeDJroh0yWd6t-QKy-a6luHCPpFrZDYYCitJ2BqYLPKHD/s1600-h/Picture+3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 198px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVup8pm6fsU3RGKrzqGHCASmiCEqPahD7mdUpRUbeGU4PFirFNUcBTcxV9g3K7ks2MHsVEXvVDnT5lNvkA8KfT3YkN0iMBrRekeDJroh0yWd6t-QKy-a6luHCPpFrZDYYCitJ2BqYLPKHD/s400/Picture+3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437564417822079362" /></a><br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/001.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35SP]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/001t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/002.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35SP]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/002t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/003.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35SP]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/003t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/004.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35SP]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/004t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <br> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/005.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35SP]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/005t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/006.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35SP]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/006t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/007.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35SP]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/007t.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/008.jpg" rel="lightbox[Jag35SP]" title="New Jag35 Products"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/gallery/Jag35SP/008t.jpg" width="100" /></a><br /> </center><br /><br /><br /></span>Jehuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14055542095075236480noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858986310286472753.post-40785696363914547392010-01-06T14:19:00.000-08:002010-01-12T11:32:39.249-08:00LCDVFs will Ship Today!<a href="http://blog.jag35.com/2010/01/lcdvfs-will-ship-today.html"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/blog_0106.jpg" /></a><br /><!-- google_ad_section_start --><br /><br />The most asked question by far this week, has been, when are we going to ship the <a href="http://jag35.com/lcdvf.html">LCDVF</a>s. Well, as many of you already know, our first shipment hadn't arrived, so we really didn't know when we would be shipping them. We had an idea of when they would arrive, however, it was only a approximation, so we couldn't really say for sure.<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />We were a bit overwhelmed with the response we got for the LCDVF when the manufacturer officially announced that Jag35.com would be the official North American distributer, and because of this response and a guarantee from the manufacturer to ship them by a certain date, we decided to post them on the site and start selling them. We were surprised to have sold out our first batch within a little bit over a week.<br /><br />So here we are now two weeks later, all sold out and still hadn't received our first shipment, and we were getting bombarded by both anxious clients waiting to receive their ordered LCDVFs and by clients who still want to purchase one, but the website shows them as sold out. We're happy to announce to all those who already bought one, we received our first shipment today, early enough to package them and get them out with today's mail. You should be receiving a Tracking Number hopefully sometime before the end of today, if not, please be patient with us and you'll have it by morning.<br /><br /><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/LCDVF_1.jpg" width="421"><br /><br />To all those of you who have asked and still haven't had the opportunity to place your order, you'll be happy to know, we have submitted our second order, and should be receiving it hopefully before two weeks from today. We will not have them available on the website, 'till the second shipment has arrived from the manufacturer. If you would like to be notified the second they go on sale on the site again, please submit your email thru our contact form, and you will be notified right away, as soon as they go on sale. What this means is, that when you place your order, we will ship it the same day if you order early enough in the day or next day if you order in the evening.<br /><br /><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/LCDVF_2.jpg" width="421"><br /><br />Here's a link to our contact form where you can place your name and email to our waiting list. <a href="http://jag35.com/lcdvf.html">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br />The LCDVF order page is <a href="http://jag35.com/lcdvf.html">HERE</a><br /><br /><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br /><br /></span>Misa Garciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15308508337086482753noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858986310286472753.post-31918812087357462462010-01-05T16:13:00.000-08:002010-01-06T16:24:42.543-08:00Can you Spot the Jag35 Footage!?<a href="http://blog.jag35.com/2010/01/can-you-spot-jag35-footage.html"><img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/blog_0105.jpg" /></a><br /><!-- google_ad_section_start --><br /><br />One of our clients sent us this link to a video where they used certain shots from a Jag35 adapter.

I know, many still think these devices are not true serious video shooting cameras because all of limitations they have like Odd shaped form factor, aliasing, flash banding, rolling shutter and so on. But to those who think in such way let me just say that everything has limitations, consider Film for example: Outrageously expensive, needs tons of light, 24 fps not good for fast action because of strobing, film cameras don"t record audio, and need large crew to operate, and the list keeps going. With a list like that you would wonder why anyone would even think shooting on film, but the answer is always because the image was well worth all the trouble. The same goes for todays new HDSLRs cameras, the image they produce is well worth all the trouble and in this coming year we will see a lot more productions using them whether is for TV or the big screen, 2010 is the year we will see the release of motion picture shot on HDslr. Don't believe me? read this: <a href="http://philipbloom.co.uk/2009/12/12/the-tale-of-lucasfilm-skywalker-ranch-red-tails-star-wars-and-canon-dslrs/">The tale of Lucasfilm, Skywalker Ranch, Red Tails, Star Wars and Canon DSLRs on a 40 foot screen!</a><br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Anyways back to topic, because this is the future and we want to be part of it we will be releasing new products for this market, earlier this month we launched our new <a href="http://jag35.com/dslr.html">DSLR section</a> and we plan on expanding this section to include more than the few products we currently sell there.<br />We like to think we have started with some of the best products like the <a href="http://jag35.com/redheads.html">H4n Redheads</a>, <a href="http://store.zacuto.com/Z-Finder.html">Zacuto's Z-finder</a>, The super affordable <a href="http://jag35.com/dfocus.html">D|Focus</a> and the New Affordable <a href="http://jag35.com/lcdvf.html">LCDVF</a> And some of the best training DVDs for getting you up to speed on How to get the <a href="http://jag35.com/lcdvf.html">Film Look </a> out of your new camera body.<br /><br />And the most exciting part is still to come, we are working on a camera accessory cage for the 5Dmk2, 7D, and the new 1Dmk4, We are shooting for a sub $200 price. You will be able to securely attach things like external Monitors, microphones, sound recorders, and follow focus gears. We plan on releasing it the first half of JAN. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBeeCyD5T4D6XtZ2l3d7_3AZ25Y6sRlw0PkUnj03A8S_EZExWDrvLeN9K5vU1gKSUFQFocRKVr0mdx0jsAFKjf0pJk1WGiX7FSsmEX1HBKkQOwkokvwpx8RiMz7q-diHXHe5uPd2f3kTj6/s1600-h/web.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBeeCyD5T4D6XtZ2l3d7_3AZ25Y6sRlw0PkUnj03A8S_EZExWDrvLeN9K5vU1gKSUFQFocRKVr0mdx0jsAFKjf0pJk1WGiX7FSsmEX1HBKkQOwkokvwpx8RiMz7q-diHXHe5uPd2f3kTj6/s400/web.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418929780306519714" /></a><br /><br />Also Because so many JAG user are moving to HDSLRs and they will be needing lenses which unfortunately are so expensive, we have decided to offer 35mm lens rentals at <a href="http://lensrentals.blogspot.com/">35mmrentals.com</a> The site will officially be launching later this year as soon as we figure out insurance stuff for all this equipment, we plan on offering EOS lenses and bodies first and then expanding to Nikon lenses and bodies.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeihZ9ApW5cDIjoclfz91dA2kwdfRYWSk-2O-Fputg2KDEqdXrrR9TU_R_wYI83IMqmFp5OZh_yuZfO1ahRv3k1FILLX5IICah5DiiZnJgXgMAZ2d-vyMEr03dUhKqWebi2vgSSmTmxvfc/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 321px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeihZ9ApW5cDIjoclfz91dA2kwdfRYWSk-2O-Fputg2KDEqdXrrR9TU_R_wYI83IMqmFp5OZh_yuZfO1ahRv3k1FILLX5IICah5DiiZnJgXgMAZ2d-vyMEr03dUhKqWebi2vgSSmTmxvfc/s400/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418933625440624978" /></a><br /><br />We also have started <a href="http://vdslruser.com/">VDSLRuser.com</a> a forum we will post all our ongoing projects and hopefully others will start joining and sharing.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwfxhmpHu1KbmOC-ERkuSht7SQwaPpO_uqaGGRrqD-UfpxqnEcktNVex6BhTZbDoWY3wErXKskDVStpl0J7kAePeH5wWbcmH9DyrOQkOBtEzadqQB1n_0PHUvB8rcqy_1GW3ftuZ5TaIOB/s1600-h/Picture+2.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 364px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwfxhmpHu1KbmOC-ERkuSht7SQwaPpO_uqaGGRrqD-UfpxqnEcktNVex6BhTZbDoWY3wErXKskDVStpl0J7kAePeH5wWbcmH9DyrOQkOBtEzadqQB1n_0PHUvB8rcqy_1GW3ftuZ5TaIOB/s400/Picture+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418934545713351698" /></a><br /><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br /><br /></span>Jehuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14055542095075236480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858986310286472753.post-241602793794799242009-12-24T12:34:00.000-08:002010-02-02T17:27:50.990-08:00What Happened to the Spinner?<a href="http://blog.jag35.com/2009/11/what-happened-to-spinner.html"><img src="http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/misagarcia/blog_1109.jpg"></a><br /><!-- google_ad_section_start --><br /><br />I thought i give you guys an update on the spinner, Last we saw of it was here in this<a href="http://blog.jag35.com/2009/08/still-working-on-sp.html"> thread</a> back in august, thats 4 months ago. <span class="fullpost"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP91-2tDROc1E7Ht7_HQs09fgYqpPwHa9xEtOmJfkht9eJLwaStaC2ypshyphenhyphenw8vUcF8yPDtzYmVgeVab2r2o-i7b3XSvV-oDTM-bBwsKWNzyWHQV6F9jcgJObIZw9yguB9ZLSwj-Ej5eH8a/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP91-2tDROc1E7Ht7_HQs09fgYqpPwHa9xEtOmJfkht9eJLwaStaC2ypshyphenhyphenw8vUcF8yPDtzYmVgeVab2r2o-i7b3XSvV-oDTM-bBwsKWNzyWHQV6F9jcgJObIZw9yguB9ZLSwj-Ej5eH8a/s400/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364346493223364562" /></a> It seems like ages, because so many things have happened, we've been so busy. But things are finally falling to place here in our new location. So work on the spinner picks up again, and with good progress too, At this point we have completely redesigned it to simplify it and eliminate so many of the problems it had. At the top of the list was noise and vibration. Because the old design used an off center motor and pulleys and a belt drive eliminating noise and vibration turned out to be harder than we though.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNmvJ7aIAX1kLgsCg2aK6gjQTjEMwIYUVjwx5A8nx3_bshpuKTKNyp52KgMxuUH8p3-oZa1NDzJfhnNDeTXb_cHHPo7Zueh3AWSZ1kufDeZ3hiFkECTykncbELlK2eH0GYJvx8HgjulQf6/s1600-h/Picture+9.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 117px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNmvJ7aIAX1kLgsCg2aK6gjQTjEMwIYUVjwx5A8nx3_bshpuKTKNyp52KgMxuUH8p3-oZa1NDzJfhnNDeTXb_cHHPo7Zueh3AWSZ1kufDeZ3hiFkECTykncbELlK2eH0GYJvx8HgjulQf6/s400/Picture+9.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402675939711101218" /></a><br />We were fortunate enough to find a smaller motor that now will allow us to directly mount the gg into it, all without changing the overall size of the adapter, which by the way its as small as it can be.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpnln0LUQcQNz_iYQIu8wteyCzb_Ldl6ZH-SxXfwmwGzq3NDEFFCD_vdILR8qOrkuAfHlGxDuUfvQ23D3Kwk6KasNDwcDr_JCcKrRlOZr5vmXWqSHBKcECdHdLd81HyVxCSylc-ZoQhyphenhyphen3h/s1600-h/Picture+6.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 129px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpnln0LUQcQNz_iYQIu8wteyCzb_Ldl6ZH-SxXfwmwGzq3NDEFFCD_vdILR8qOrkuAfHlGxDuUfvQ23D3Kwk6KasNDwcDr_JCcKrRlOZr5vmXWqSHBKcECdHdLd81HyVxCSylc-ZoQhyphenhyphen3h/s400/Picture+6.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402679007803952194" /></a><br /> Also to further eliminate the noise we decided to mill a custom aluminum case for it, which will also add strenght to the structural integrity, and it will make for a more pro looking device. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh7Q7Z1SnpolzunnX2spQBfbSZHAYVsXL1sUUUrQ13yx0V0VY-cVDsH5RqpRQAH4ikXJpECDgPwcWXaLpUpKv-PhY7MXVNEWnr9sOmY_Y8dRfAD9zAPS41KOc44a6qEQol7ZTve7xIh3fI/s1600-h/Picture+4.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 222px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh7Q7Z1SnpolzunnX2spQBfbSZHAYVsXL1sUUUrQ13yx0V0VY-cVDsH5RqpRQAH4ikXJpECDgPwcWXaLpUpKv-PhY7MXVNEWnr9sOmY_Y8dRfAD9zAPS41KOc44a6qEQol7ZTve7xIh3fI/s400/Picture+4.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402677806644957394" /></a><br />Originally we thought of just making a rectangular case but because we are making it from scratch we decided to give it a design that would better work.

Who knows where this whole HDSLR revolution will take us, and we dont really know how many and for how long you guys will remain loyal to the old 35mm adapter. But as long as the interest exists we will have a jag35 for you.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">!Update!</span><br /><br />Just got the Newly and freshly machined parts for the JAG35sp V2, they look awesome, only a few adjustments and we will be ordering a production run.

I guess he was previously using a static adapter, <span class="fullpost">but because of the grain produced by the static focusing screen, he had abandoned the idea of shooting video with adapters, to the point that he wasn't getting much use of his video camera anymore. After deciding to get a Jag35Pro which includes a Vibrating GG Focusing Screen, he went out and these are his first test shots with it.<br /><br />This is straight footage with no grading. He shot this using a Canon HG20 and a Jag35Pro w/ 40mm Achromat and a Nikon 50mm f1.8<br /><br /><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br /><br /><object width="421" height="342"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U90XtTnTKMo&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U90XtTnTKMo&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="421" height="342"></embed></object><br /><br /></span>Misa Garciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15308508337086482753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858986310286472753.post-60468860328136874752009-12-08T13:27:00.000-08:002009-12-10T13:50:26.650-08:00Sony SR11 w/ Jag35Pro<img src="http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/misagarcia/blog_1208.jpg" /><br /><!-- google_ad_section_start -->Just recently one of our clients Matt Stapleton sent over some of his video clips he created using one of our Jag35Pro adapters.

So we have decided to offer a limited edition Static adapter. We are practically giving it away as its the cheapest adapter you can buy, anywhere. You can't even buy the parts for the price were offering it. How can we do this you ask? <span class="fullpost"><br />Well because we have been doing this for a while and our designs have changed, then some of the parts of previous designs were no longer needed so they sat in a box collecting dust. So instead of discarting them we though we would put them to good use, there is nothing wrong with those parts apart from not working with current designs of our adapter line. All optics are new and these have never been used before so your not getting a second hand adapter here or one that does not perform better than production units, it just looks a little different on the outside. One advantage I would like to mention is that this limited edition static is the first to be offered in an EF mount, so if you are one of the many that are starting to move VDSLRs then EOS lenses might alredy be in your camera bag, so why not put them to use with your video camera?<br /><br />These will be produced on a limited basis, We only have enough parts to make around 100 of them, and we will be offering them on Friday Nov. 27 and in the month of December. We are not sure how long they will last but once gone then the price of the static will go back up to normal. The limited Edition JAG35ST will be selling for $69 + S&H and you can find it here: <a href="http://jag35.com/limited.html">http://jag35.com/limited</a><br /><br />*Note: We got a message from one of our clients that tried using the Jag35ST Limited Edition w/ his Canon HFs100 model camera. After testing this ourselves, we realized that the Canon HFs series is design a little different than most other cameras, and since the lens sits far back in the barrel, our Limited Edition Jag35 adapter won't work with this setup. Our Regular Jag35ST adapter works fine, but not the Limited Edition. Sorry we didn't catch this earlier.<br /><br /><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br /><br /></span>Jehuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14055542095075236480noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858986310286472753.post-44149946500616999982009-11-20T14:42:00.000-08:002009-12-09T23:40:57.072-08:00One Size fits-all Lens Gears<img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/blog_1120.jpg" /><br /><!-- google_ad_section_start --><br /><br />Problem:<br />We have been offering a nice little product called the D|Focus, which is basically the most affordable follow focus system out there, starting at $100. It's a great fit with our very affordable Jag35 adapters because of the price. <span class="fullpost"> However, one of the things we lacked was a Lens Gear Solution to go with this system. There's a few lens gears out there, but we found a couple of problems with most solutions. Price mainly, and flexibility.<br /><br />Solution:<br />Design by Dave came up with an amazing little design that fixed most issues we had with other lens gears.

<br />
<br />So you've got your 7D on your hands and it shoots incredible pictures and even better looking video So what else do you need?
<br />Ah yes, lenses. If you've been shopping for lenses then you've probably noticed that because your new 7D has a APS-C sensor, which is smaller than full size (24mmx36mm) there is a crop of 1.6x (sometimes called focal length multiplier), So for example if you have a 50mm lens, on your 7D, after the crop factor it becomes 80mm. <span class="fullpost">
<br />On the long end it's great because your $1600 70-200mm lens now becomes a $4300 112-320mm f2.8 lens, without adding cost, weight, and size. But where it hurts is in the wide end, my awesome 16-35mm f2.8 is not as wide as on my 5Dmk2.
<br /> Canon doesn't make many wide angle lenses and the ones it makes do cost a lot of money. So if you're looking for a wide angle lens for your 7D there are several available options, so first lets look at canon's full frame lenses:
<br />
<br /><a href="http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-14mm-f-2.8-L-II-USM-Lens-Review.aspx">EF 14mm f2.8 L USM</a> x1.6=<span style="font-weight:bold;">22.4mm</span> sells for $2200
<br /><a href="http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-15mm-f-2.8-Fisheye-Lens-Review.aspx">EF 15mm f2.8 Fisheye</a> x1.6=<span style="font-weight:bold;">24mm</span> sells for $700
<br /><a href="http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-16-35mm-f-2.8-L-II-USM-Lens-Review.aspx">EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM</a> x1.6=<span style="font-weight:bold;">25.6-56mm</span> sells for $1600
<br />
<br />These lenses are great, top quality and versatile as you can use them in full frame and on crop systems, problem is they are not cheap nor very wide, best value there is the 15mm fisheye, but not everyone likes the fish eye look. You can also look at canon's EF-S line they are somewhat more affordable, but keep in mind that these only work on the smaller APS-C sensor bodies, so if you were to later upgrade to a full frame model like the 5Dmk2 you would not be able to use these lenses without seen massive vignette on your image, and it seems you might not even be able to actually mount EF-s on full frame bodies.

The idea is that if you bend the light of a 2.35 aspect ratio image to fit into a 4:3 sensor, then stretch it to the 2.35 aspect ratio on post, then you get more resolution because you'll end up using the entire sensor instead of just cropping the top and the bottom of the 4:3 image.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Well turns out these lenses are still around and some people are saying, Why not?<br />Stu Maschwitz from '<a href="http://prolost.com/">Pro Lost</a>" Has posted some sample videos of footage shot using a 7D and 50mm f/1.4 lens.

I have been following his work since early on as i started researching 35mm adapters, and because he has many videos explaining 35mm adapter things, I used to keep up with his updates. Had a chance to meet him at this years NAB show back in april, and <a href="http://blog.jag35.com/2009/05/jag35st-field-test.html">got to see him</a> at work a month later when <a href="http://philipbloom.co.uk/2009/05/21/eu-launch-of-gh1-and-new-gh1-short-joshua-tree/">he shot a video to introduce panasonic's GH1</a>. <br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Then in September we had a chance to hang out and hear the F-Stop conference in Orlando FL at the <a href="http://blog.jag35.com/2009/09/great-time-at-weva.html">WEVA</a> convention.

This makes sense because for many that are buying a product for the first time going the video camera plus 35mm adapter way is actually more money than just buying a GH1 or a 7D with a kit lens. <br />And NO because a lot of people already own part of their kit and only need to expand on it so buying a 35mm adapter is more affordable than buying a whole new set up, for example say you already have your beloved hvx200 and granpa left you a set of nice nikon primes in the attic, getting an adapter opens up the shallow depth of field world to you and you don't have to give up the ability to shoot good audio and sequences longer than 12 minutes, so you get more for way less than buying a whole new DSLR system.<br /><br />But the reason I use and blog about this cameras is that they are the future, they shoot amazing video and they do it JAG style, and by that I mean, that they are to a certain extent affordable, they are small, light and they help you shoot everyday life, all things that were on top of my list while designing the JAG35 line of adapters. This is the reason I believe a large percentage of JAG users will eventually migrate to some sort of DSLR in the near future. And by having used and played with these systems as they are coming out, hopefully I could post useful stuff to all once JAG35 users and everyone else interested in using DSLR cameras for video use.<br /><br />So should you get a DSLR right now? Should you throw away your hv40 and get a 5Dmk2? Well It all really depends on what you'll be using it for. You need to keep in mind that DSLR's still have huge limitations like a 12 minute continous recording time limit, poor sound recording capabilities, No auto focus, and you will need lots of lenses to match what you might be used to on your video camera's built in lens. Also keep in mind that although the camera bodies are relatively affordable, good lenses cost a lot of money, So for example if you buy a canon body like the 7D you'll be spending about $2K but if you want the matching canon glass that goes with it, you will need another $8-10K for a set of fast primes as the good ones almost cost $2k. Of course you can always rent them or use older nikon glass found cheaply on ebay, but trust me eventually you will want modern quality glass to go with your amazing DSLR body. Bottom line is, if you can afford to buy one and all the add on accessories that will help you work around its limitations then go for it. Just do keep in mind that at this point it cost more to switch to a DSLR than to just add an affordable JAG35 adapter to your existing camera. Of course this will not always be the case as prices keep coming down and more manufacturers come out with video capable camera bodies. We currently live in very exciting times for digital video with all the coming products that are just in the horizon.<br /><!-- google_ad_section_end --></span>Jehuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14055542095075236480noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858986310286472753.post-64513952566582933392009-10-31T18:40:00.000-07:002009-11-03T14:02:44.544-08:00Color Correcting explained<img src="http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/misagarcia/blog_1031.jpg" /><br /><!-- google_ad_section_start --><br /><br />Ok if you're like me, and you are self thought in using FCP and every other app you use to create video works of art, then you might like me, be used to staring at those 3 color wheels, and scratching your head. I've tried messing with color, but not really understanding what it is that i need to do I've decided that its just best left alone.

Having some free time on my vacation was really helpful, as doing time lapses or learning to shoot them is time consuming.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><br />So here are the basic things you'll need:<br />1-DSLR body most any will do, in my case I used a 5dmk2 and a 7d<br />2-Good lens, any will do but for a good dramatic look, wide angle lenses work best. I used a 16-35mm f2.8L canon.<br />3-A good tripod, some people will tell you that you need a real true fluid head tripod for video work, if you can afford it, get one, but for time lapses, all you really need is a sturdy tripod that wont move around easily by wind. I used a Manfrotto 756B legs with a 701HDV head that costs about $300<br />4-And finally a good Timer controller. Canon Has the TC-80N3 for about $140 but I bought a cheapie ebay knock off for $40, worked good for me, not sure if the canon has more features.<br /><br />If you'll be doing a daytime time lapse then you'll have to set exposure in your camera like you normally do, you can even do auto if you'd like the results, sometimes the camera does a good job exposing correctly. So once you set your framing and exposure then you connect the timer controller and dial in the right settings.<br />There are 4 main settings: Delay time - Bulb Time - Int. this the time between shots and finally the amount of exposures or pictures.<br />For daytime timelapses these settings worked for me, <br />Delay = 0<br />Bulb = 1<br /> INT = 5<br />Count = 399<br />Keep in mind that I was on a moving Ship most of the time so longer exposures and longer times between pictures would not work, longer exposures would create too much blur and longer times between pictures would speed the movement of the ship too much.<br /><br />For night shots the the settings looked pretty much the same with the exception of the bulb time, this is the time the shutter remains open. For long times I set my camera to Bulb setting and set the remote settings as follows:<br />Delay = 0<br />Bulb = 2<br />Int = 5<br />Count = 399<br /><br />Again, keep in mind that these settings were needed because of the moving platform I was on. Longer Exposures will generally give you better results at night and longer times between pictures will speed slow moving objects like stars more, when played back a 24fps. And so after playing with this for a couple of days, this are my first time lapses ever. <br /><br /><object width="421" height="237"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7115014&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ffffff&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7115014&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ffffff&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="421" height="237"></embed></object><br /><br />If you wanna learn more about what to do once you have your pictures read Philip Blooms blog, I followed his technique here: <a href="http://philipbloom.co.uk/2009/10/18/tutorial-on-how-to-turn-your-dslrs-stills-timelapse-into-video/">http://philipbloom.co.uk/2009/10/18/tutorial-on-how-to-turn-your-dslrs-stills-timelapse-into-video/</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSVYbP5wD-ETCQngWXD7D8GlKvFcT5GOeV9UHOjH64Td7TrP2WWWmGxTAmi4Ni_SyuXWLGeE5kd_kKlkAQaQr4VkVkHFDxfWRDgrfgKwSZmld41nJYuqzZkumOYGcX6qMkOrAbH8_lq1ir/s1600-h/IMG_9464.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSVYbP5wD-ETCQngWXD7D8GlKvFcT5GOeV9UHOjH64Td7TrP2WWWmGxTAmi4Ni_SyuXWLGeE5kd_kKlkAQaQr4VkVkHFDxfWRDgrfgKwSZmld41nJYuqzZkumOYGcX6qMkOrAbH8_lq1ir/s400/IMG_9464.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395572714834878258" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqBdFUdxy8gmMMJVNZUQ_rROJAHzMKOQP3R3VaV-jw5jzYvSxk-r6yd9-Fkhf1XlDVicMevN42FKfoheVmN-ItxsYy_pqTRoDdUdB24w_lnCgelX6N7xwWZy_SuBKFzzRUNFhlBIF8ChMZ/s1600-h/IMG_9359.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqBdFUdxy8gmMMJVNZUQ_rROJAHzMKOQP3R3VaV-jw5jzYvSxk-r6yd9-Fkhf1XlDVicMevN42FKfoheVmN-ItxsYy_pqTRoDdUdB24w_lnCgelX6N7xwWZy_SuBKFzzRUNFhlBIF8ChMZ/s400/IMG_9359.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395572707088931074" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8RLUsMDBF4g9ltNw2fB1hYf3y1aYpdWeq8WR2nOoiIkEmhkBDAboKDzLxxEyMjjAsceThVafF7zCulPYA5YiBlBM6QSaeKXcDXdMOKCRUP2Ablot2b2o35iBjDH_TnUJIfPlc8i5V9AiN/s1600-h/IMG_9380.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8RLUsMDBF4g9ltNw2fB1hYf3y1aYpdWeq8WR2nOoiIkEmhkBDAboKDzLxxEyMjjAsceThVafF7zCulPYA5YiBlBM6QSaeKXcDXdMOKCRUP2Ablot2b2o35iBjDH_TnUJIfPlc8i5V9AiN/s400/IMG_9380.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395572701561672850" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTIlXZ3oa1JiIzlwdTggCA7xcVuqFuZHdt-iHZPSAgWjF3fNdI8RWb4rZKWFytCcNS9b8A8OYfFdUqUz4gDLjXdyvprEJvxICy1H-OX2mOnzE2lLMUbq02-yrjjculomEmpyGta0xbN9OQ/s1600-h/210404504_o.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTIlXZ3oa1JiIzlwdTggCA7xcVuqFuZHdt-iHZPSAgWjF3fNdI8RWb4rZKWFytCcNS9b8A8OYfFdUqUz4gDLjXdyvprEJvxICy1H-OX2mOnzE2lLMUbq02-yrjjculomEmpyGta0xbN9OQ/s400/210404504_o.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395581855541445698" /></a></span>Jehuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14055542095075236480noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858986310286472753.post-20718127205812192962009-10-19T22:56:00.000-07:002009-11-03T14:04:11.527-08:00Exciting news from Canon!<img src="http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/misagarcia/blog_1020.jpg" /><br /><!-- google_ad_section_start --><br /><br />So the first long anticipated good news is about the 24p and 25p firmware update to the now famous and popular 5Dmk2. that's the good news, the bad, we'll have to wait until first half of 2010!

Improves AF accuracy during Live View shooting.<br />2. Corrects a phenomenon where in rare instances, movie<br />images shot by the camera may exhibit abnormal colors.<br />3. Corrects a phenomenon that at certain timings, the shutter cannot<br />be released when the camera's built-in flash or an external Speedlite<br />is used for shooting.<br /><br />Download it <a href="http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=314&modelid=19356#DownloadDetailAct">here</a><br /><br />Instructions to install it <a href="http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/firm-e/eos7d/firmware.html">here</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFqatclzzaptz05XoVDneWy4-yC2Jc5snQjwYaIDY64C5Enx9uLpBdH_ChUV_2yJZ1kwfU-KtIpqeImntlwJY_IJe_EFtsYiYEkI-BMAGNpeECtGBhtGFkSuF5mS18yXdXbg0eboQ1l9Ho/s1600-h/1dmark4_586x225.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 154px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFqatclzzaptz05XoVDneWy4-yC2Jc5snQjwYaIDY64C5Enx9uLpBdH_ChUV_2yJZ1kwfU-KtIpqeImntlwJY_IJe_EFtsYiYEkI-BMAGNpeECtGBhtGFkSuF5mS18yXdXbg0eboQ1l9Ho/s400/1dmark4_586x225.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394585193897077058" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And lastly, the exiting anouncement of the Proffesional body, the 1Dmk4 with the following specs:<br />Key features:<br /><br />World’s fastest AF continuous shooting performance at 10 fps (up to 120 shots in a single burst)<br />16.1MP Canon APS-H size CMOS sensor<br />New 45-point area Auto Focus (AF) system<br />World’s first professional DSLR to feature FULL High Definition movie recording<br />ISO speed range 100-12800 (expandable to L:50; H1: 25600; H2: 51200; H3: 102400)<br />Dual DiG!C 4 image processing<br />Live View shooting (AF mode: Quick, Live, Live Face Detection)<br />3-inch, fine detail Clear View II LCD screen (920,000 dots, VGA)<br /><br />Seems this camera is the best in low light, and blows all the competiton out of the water. Vincent Laforet, Stu Maschwitz, David Nelson shot a short film to demonstrate the cameras ability to shoot with virtually no light and some of the worst lighting conditions they could find. You can see it <a href="http://vimeo.com/7152063">here</a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">NOTE: seems canon has asked the guys to take the video down for the time being, Hopefully it will be back up soon!</span><br />and you can read Vincent's Blog <a href="http://blog.vincentlaforet.com/2009/10/19/lights-out-camera-action/">here</a><br />and you can find Stu Maschwitz <a href="http://prolost.com/blog/2009/10/19/nocturne-and-the-canon-1d-mark-iv.html">here</a> <!-- google_ad_section_end --></span>Jehuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14055542095075236480noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858986310286472753.post-58796987841347686962009-10-11T01:18:00.000-07:002009-10-27T16:54:35.040-07:00Vacation Time<img src="http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/misagarcia/blog_1011.jpg" /><br /><!-- google_ad_section_start --><br /><br />So after about 5 years marriage and putting off a real vacation either because there is no money or time for it, the time has come. We've taken little trips to vegas, camping and other local weekend mini vacations to keep us sane during this last few years, but the truth is that I've never really taken a full 8 day Vacation before <span class="fullpost">and because there are so many places that we've never been to before it was hard to decide where to go, so we decided to try a Mexican Riviera cruise. 8 days on board the Carnival Splendor a 3,006-passenger vessel "the largest “Fun Ship” ever constructed" or at least as of July 2008 when it was constructed. The Ship will take us to Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, and Cabo, all places i've never visited before, so it should be fun. So of course I'm taking my camera or cameras with me. The problem is I wanna take everything but I know i can't so I have to choose, Here is what i have so far.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgij6JdozsZH8zl2nW1EuAIwtT9ZAr1enk8HpE7avHSGlC7GD43s34QGUYyLO8yD5C2bXmDWN17MDJvrmAnG2mcPScXPjiiB9-kRHhFgrndVotDZYzqMWz1145silsseQJ9qUdwhQzZCqBp/s1600-h/P1000039.JPG.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgij6JdozsZH8zl2nW1EuAIwtT9ZAr1enk8HpE7avHSGlC7GD43s34QGUYyLO8yD5C2bXmDWN17MDJvrmAnG2mcPScXPjiiB9-kRHhFgrndVotDZYzqMWz1145silsseQJ9qUdwhQzZCqBp/s400/P1000039.JPG.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391265007994579538" /></a><br /><br />Will it all fit on that bag? I don't know, I got a few other bags and i will be trying to see which one i like the best, this one is made by canon and I like that its not too big or too small it feels just right. This is what I'm taking with me:<br /><br />5D MK2<br />7D<br />70-200mm f2.8<br />16-35mm f2.8<br />50mm f1.2<br />17mm tilt shift<br />28-135mm f3.5<br />2x extender<br />4x canon Batteries + charger<br />1x 32gb CF card<br />2x 16gb CF cards<br />Zacuto's Z-Finder<br />Timer remote control<br />Small Manfroto tripod<br />CF card reader<br />15" Macbook pro<br />500gb My Passport WD external drive<br />Lens Cleaning Kit<br />and a Panasonic DMC-TS1 12 mega pixel point and shoot waterproof camera for underwater shots.<br />So of course not all this stuff will fit on that little bag but I'll find a way to put all the big stuff on the rest of the luggage.<br />Will be learning to shoot with the new 7D and will be trying to figure out how to use the timer remote for some timelapses.<br /><br />The rest of the Shop stays here working hard to get your orders out and the only thing that will not be happening while I'm gone are the Flip hacks, if you plan to send your camera in, you might wanna wait for a few days so it doesn't sit here for a whole week. I hacked all the cameras that i was able to so you guys don't have to wait a whole week for my return. Will try and post some pictures and maybe upload if possible short clips of the trip.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Update, here is a video shot during my vacation:</span><br /><object width="421" height="237"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7132402&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ffffff&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7132402&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ffffff&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="421" height="237"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Update<br />Some pictures of the first 2 days:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioddQqVsDB_dC5_x1crSi76QnbkNhqE9Jy-6jssHvzbwgA-RDZ58zdz_tS-D1YfS-4eS5WF1q7ksSMUjv1LHMiV063ihi17npuZF7XiDbrmE8suft9F6x0a2XMaZ5fgxD2mPPknAGy0d1m/s1600-h/Picture+9.png"><img style="display:block;

Wanted to again apologize if we took a bit longer to answer all your emails, <span class="fullpost">but I think we finally got all caught up, and we should be back to answering your emails within hours like before. We've been moving to a new location and things have been a bit hectic, while we relocate, plus our trusty DSL Service Provider here in Rancho, left us in the dark for about a week and half, so that really didn't help at all. Either way we're back, and we'll have some great updates for you guys very soon.<br /><br />Check out the new video edit from the first day of our WEVA Trip to Orlando Florida, we had a ton of footage from the events there and the great people we met while visiting, but with all the stuff happening, we just didn't have the time to get thru any of it. This is just some clips of our trip as we traveled there.<br /><br /><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br /><br /><object width="421" height="237"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6881016&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ff9933&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6881016&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ff9933&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="421" height="237"></embed></object><br /><br /></span>Misa Garciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15308508337086482753noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858986310286472753.post-4533925189606338682009-09-25T22:28:00.000-07:002009-09-29T10:29:29.884-07:00Showcasing Jag35 at DVExpo<img src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/blog_0925.jpg" /><br /><br />So much has happened these past few weeks, that I don't even know where to begin. First I want to apologize if your emails haven't been answered in a timely manner, we're working hard to try and catch up with all emails, but <span class="fullpost">missing even a day puts us way behind, now try missing a full week, and then half a week and now already a full day this week. It's been a struggle, but very exciting stuff happening. After we got back from our Florida trip to attend WEVA we quickly prepared for another Trade show, this time closer to us, The <a href="http://dvexpo.com/">DVExpo 09</a> in Pasadena, CA. We had a great time showing our products to many people, explaining how the adapters work, and most importantly, how affordable it is, most people thought they didn't hear the price correctly the first time, so we found ourselves repeating it over and over again, "Starting at $99".<br /><br />The great people at <a href="http://zacuto.com/">Zacuto</a> gave us the opportunity to showcase our adapters at a corner of their booth and it worked out well, we wanted to thank them for that, of course we carry our cameras everywhere we go, so we captured a few stills you can check out below.<br /><br /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_01.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_02.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_03.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_04.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_05.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_06.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_07.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_08.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_09.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_10.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_11.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_12.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_13.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_14.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_15.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_16.jpg" border="0" /><img class="magnify" magnifyby="6" style="width: 100px; height: 65px;" src="http://web.me.com/jehug/images/blog/0925/dve09_17.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /></span>Misa Garciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15308508337086482753noreply@blogger.com8
