The operator was following a U.S. Senate candidate as he campaigned at a parade.

Either that or he is WAY stronger than he looks. A fully equiped Scarlet-X is pretty heavy. My Tools

I've never shot video and don't ever see myself doing it but the first thing that came to mind when I saw this was "where's the counterweight?".

I wondered that as well for choosing that improperly rigged camera for what is essentially an ENG assignment. Do what you love and you will love what you do, that applies to both work and life.

What's so weird about seeing one being used? It's not only about what you use; but how you use it as well. With any camera that doesn't look like this-  You need to configure it so that it at least resembles one, if you intend to hand-hold it while shooting. You can comfortably hold a camera, like the one pictured, on your shoulder for extended periods of time, with the added bonuses of: - Deeper DoF for easier focusing. - Huge zoom range. - Long recording times. - High quality 4ch audio recoding. - Waveform and vector scope without the need of an external monitor. And the final system price ends up being fairly similar, the camera pictured above will run you about $33,000 minimum, which isn't out of line with a Scarlet in the configuration posted by the OP. Horses for courses I say... the Scarlet can do 4K, slo-mo, RAW, and so on, but it has to be used rather methodically. The HPX3100 pictured will only render a 1080p image at standard frame rates, but it will do so perfectly and you don't need to reconfigure it when the shooting situation changes. 5DmkII | 24-70 f/2.8L II | Pentax 645Z | 55/2.8 SDM | 120/4 Macro | 150/2.8 IF

I didn't miss it I just have a odd sense of humor. as much as a documentary on politics is nothing more than bullcrap you cant deny how many dumb people will waste money on it. therefore its profitable crap
also photo #2 is the face you make when you realize you forgot the counterweight for your shoulder rig
