Tilt: The Gear

Yes. I know this video is 8 minutes long. But I'm kind of an equipment nerd, and shooting with a DSLR is so completely new to me, I just get excited. Be glad that I chopped it way down to 8 min. Here is a video about a few of the new pieces of equipment I picked up to shoot TILT with.

The shoulder rig I got from RedRock Micro. http://www.redrockmicro.com/

The follow focus is a D|Focus unit that I ordered from www.jag35.com. http://jag35.com/new/products/dfocus/

If you have questions about anything, let 'em fly. I'll answer anything I can.

The battery grip suggestion makes a ton of sense! Getting that heat on the outside of the camera is a great POSSIBLE solution, plus it makes swapping out batteries much easier when you have a tripod plate attached to the bottom of the camera. I also like your rubber band solution. You could sell those on B & H for at least ten bucks! Keep it up!

[philontilt]

@denekes Yeah, the battery grip is awesome (now that I have one). The T2i has still overheated. But it's only happened once. And changing batteries is sooo much easier when it's on the tripod. I'll look into that rubber band patent. Haha

Great video Phil!

Um, the website seems to be down for some reason.

Also, what forums are you on?

[philontilt]

@SportsCurry Thanks I'm glad you liked it. I'm not really on any forums. Sometimes Creative Cow. But I can always be found on twitter... @Philontilt

Nice job snagging a DFocus when you did- they're on back order for months now. Good video too.

@1BigBucks1 Yeah, they told me I got one of the last 2 in stock.
