My New Toy

[Dewit2it]

Here's a few pics of my new toy.  This is the Gates housing for the Sony FX1/HVR-Z1U.  I got it with all the control options and the EM-43 HD monitor.  While the monitor can't display true HD from the camera, it is nice to see the full shot in letterbox.  The other downside is not being able to get the full range of zoom in focus.  I can fix that, but don't want to spend $4000 for the port, unless someone is paying me big bucks. 

I'm still playing with the trim weights, and need to slow down a bit on the panning.  The camera is sensitive enough to need the first built in neutral density filter when diving in shallow water or snorkeling.  The camera has almost the same field of view as what I'm seeing on the dive at full open wide.  I can't wait to see it in true HD.
