SGPro Flip Module Nikon Mount and HVX200

Here's our new baby, turning the HVX effectively into a film camera for our up and coming production.

The effect delivered by this bit of kit is simply stunning with the right light and lenses. Add in some grading in post and you have about as near to film as you can get without the cost.

Cost of this entire unit with 2x 16GB cards £8.2k ($16k)

My advice would be to skip the HVX200 completely. The DVCproHD codec is pretty bad and has been much improved by Panasonic in the form of AVCHD. I'm now using a HMC 151 which is giving superior results. Check out Daily Motion and search for Danny Fontaine. I shot that music vid on the HMC just a few weeks back.

Just about to try out the latest Canon DSLR's...

Beautiful...Im still rockin' the dvx100b...Nice but I want that excact set up...hopefully this summer!!!

Just used this exact setup with an HMC-151 Panasonic. Much better picture quality IMO and better in low light.

I sent you a link...

Hey, I just posted up a bit saying the same thing!!!

Yep, the codec stands up much better to colour correction and the like. DVCProHD is not great unless you're shooting in bright sun.

can you tell me which brand and configuration of your equipment? Rods support, follow focus, lens, ...

Thank you

[noiseache]

The rods, support, follow focus etc is all part of the SG Pro package. Just select what you need when you buy.

I would advise a better follow focus though, this one crapped out on day 1 of our major shoot and luckily we had one to replace it with. We now use a wireless Chrosziel which is much more solid and doesn't jog the lens when it starts and stops.
