David Mullen ASC, gets a million points!
Trust me, with over 4K already invested, I really would love to write a good report, lol. We all know the two most obvious pitfalls with buying overseas:
1-Quality (kinda self evident, given the...
I had the same pencil marks and cloudy capsules on 3 out of 4 bulbs sent to me. Presently, I am working out a far greater issue with Joey and CAME over 3 defective/short circuiting ballasts. I am...
Amazing, and it wasn't too long ago either. Very thankful to those pioneers of past and present, the fulfillment of their dreams is helping us realize ours.
Very cool indeed Jay! I have received their email and they said I can send the ballasts back for exchange and cover shipping costs. Great news! This goes a long way to bolster confidence and...
Thanks Jay! I look forward to working with CAME in resolving the ballast issues. I sent them, as per their request, a preliminary cell phone video detailing the problem. Hopefully, they can make the...
I have received my order of (2) 575w and (2) 1200w HMI'S yesterday and during initial testing, 3 out of 4 ballasts smoked and made loud popping noises. I unplugged them and put them aside. Only one...
Or simply adding an optional security lockout consisting of an 8 character alphanumeric PIN code with each reboot? A primary master code and a time based 4 digit renter code given to clients. Clock...
Imbedded metadata containing owner identification, camera serial #'s should be automatically passed through down to deliverables, would also help in copyright issues. But all camera and software...
Thanks for trying Jay! You're right, videos would go a long way to inspire confidence and help sales. A few years ago, I would not have even considered buying "direct" from China but things are...
I would certainly be in on that, wonder if CAME has one to offer? Also curious, did we reach the magic 10 yet?
Wire transfer made! Thanks again Ketch, really looking forward to using these lights!
2pcs 1200W HMI lights with OSRAM bulbs
2pcs 575W HMI Lights with OSRAM bulbs
Confirmed and Paid! Shipping is included, what a freakin deal! Thanks so much to Joey and Jay for arranging...
Thanks for arranging this Jay! I just sent my email order (unconfirmed) to Joey: 1200W HMI light:
(2) USD1232/pcs with OSRAM bulb
575w HMI Light
(2) USD882/pcs with OSRAM bulb
Awesome! How do we go about ordering? I'm interested in 2 of each with bulbs.
Edit: For USA. Will these work out of the box or will we need any adapters? Ballast is 110v capable (US), just...
Thank to Arthur, and our gracious host James "G" for generous use of your studio! You guys rock! I had a great time, met a lot of cool people and apologies to any and all who took exception to my...
See you guys tomorrow!
With the rest of the camera industry in overdrive and complete 4K (and above) workflows becoming a reality, we need to stay on the cutting edge. I'll use equipment that can keep up with the pace and...
I'm in!
Cool pics John!
Great to hear the group buy has done so well! I look forward to placing my order and playing with umm, I mean working with these stunning panels very soon.
Thanks again Ketch and BB&S for bringing...
Awesome news Kwan! That was fast! Happy shooting with your rescued baby!
WOW!!! Awesome story Kwan, and I'm very glad to hear the happy ending! Some quick thinking and a super useful app saved the day! Next accessory idea: RED EPIC/Scarlet IPHONE Mount/charger plate...
"HBO pioneer writes off 4K prospects" goes right along with: "Talkies will never catch on", "Color is just a fad", "Digital will never replace film", "RED is a scam" all these bold axioms have...
Fair enough Adam, I also have the feeling that the buzz game is going to get worse now that the big boys are in the 4k and above game.
I seem to remember a bunch of these same people buying RED ONE sight unseen, I guess their gamble paid off. I understand your frustration, but one thing we need to realize is that RED (still a very...
