I made it in 2006,and sold two month ago. Why should I sell it? because of "Adjusted Delivery Schedule (http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5270)" but...:clown2:
Anyway,my Delivery Schedule will arrive soon.I miss the time of having it,and say goodbye completely.

Wow, these are some gorgeous shots! That first woman is beautiful.

Is this Hong Kong? Taiwan?

[ORBITLUSTER]

Wow! Now how did you get that sort of quality from a HVX through a ground glass? Those are the sharpest HVX shots I ever seen. The HVX is pretty soft even without an adapter. Did you sharpen in post?

[ALLSTAR]

This is Taiwan.there is other shots use the adaper in my stage blog.
The ground glass was made in 1mm Acrylic piece,and did blasting myself.
No sharpen.You can feel sharp because that footage is 720x360.And after CC,the image will become sharper a little.
If The HVX is soft without an adapter,impossible get sharp after adaper.

Did anyone else notice the camera is used upside-down in that bracket?

Love the pictures on the website. Looks like the camera a mad scientist might build.

[Rudi Herbert]

Allstar,

Is there a way for you to post a quicktime or windows media version? I'm having problems with the Divix file as the host site insists on installing an upgrade I don't need and then the file doesn't play nor download...

[ALLSTAR]

Yes,the camera is upside-down in that bracket to get correct image.
About the Lcd and EVF,I made two custom Flexible Printed Circuit(FPC) to bind on original FPC. That let me set the EVF on the body,and turn LCD upside down.Cost is expensive.
Hi Rudi Herbert ,I think you need the upgrade.

[Greg David]

Hey dood it looks like you build your own Red cage :)

[Cardmaverick]

Do you have any HD quicktime footage? The DivX stuff doesn't look like its full HD.

Looks promising man.

[Cardmaverick]

Is that a spinning ground glass design?

[car3o]

did you use an achromat with, if so what kind?

[ALLSTAR]

is spinning 1mm Acrylic disk.The achromat was bought from SGpro,it is better than M2`s.
There is 960X540 footage,I have no 720P footage on internet.

:clown2: ha... it does. When I stared builting this adaper in 2006.2,I haven`t see RED. Afterward I saw RED 3D pictures on wedside . I think:oh, they copy mine...just kidding.The cage was designed for strong and handle.

Beautiful shots! Nice mood, compliments!
You use the same contax lenses I do. What kind of mount did you use?
I know we're not on DVXuser site but what settings did you use in the "guitarmovie"; Cine D...?

Arno

[ALLSTAR]

I use 4/3 mount to set F and C/Y mount.It can be change in vrey short time.
"guitarmovie" ?Which one?

[aka]

I meant de boy & girl movie on the roof.
What brand C/Y mount did you use?

[ALLSTAR]

I used cine D
Kindai C/Y TO 4/3

[aka]

Thanks Allstar.
Does the c/y to 4/3 work the same as the c/y to eos (you need one every single lens)? Or do you need only one? And how did you make the connection to your diy-adapter.
Arno

[ALLSTAR]

No,it`s diffent.every kind of mount you only need one .the black focus on 4/3 lens is less then other SLR lens(about 5mm),so the c/y to 4/3 mount is working like a "EXTENSION TUBE".very easy lock and unlock the lens.can change different type of mount in vrey short time.and the blackfocus is accurate after change mount every time.
My adapter works like: OLYMPUS 4/3 mount- C/Y (or F) to OLYMPUS 4/3 mount - Lenes

these look beautiful! And you took the camera apart to build that set up? Are you a camera technician?
