Red Ring Tupperware Photography & Tinfoil Talk (15)

No problem. I have very little (negligible actually) video experience so your advice is very valuable.

Would you recommend the smaller 701HDV head for the 5D2 or the bigger 501HDV?

701 is here:

If it was just my HF100 (tiny HD camcorder, coke can size) I would buy the 701 without a thought but the 5D2 is significantly bigger.

Depends on what glass you might end up using...

If you might throw a 300 f/2.8 and/or bigger on it, I'd go for more support. A larger head will give you smoother moves swinging that much mass as well.

And with that pearl of wisom, I bid you all a fond goodnight! Moooooooo..........

Recovered the video I shot of the Royal Gorge trip...

JJ....this was taken at 80 mph through the windshield...forgive the softness...but an actual avalanche shed.

Ya know I have seen those before but never knew that they were called show sheds.

I am officially distraught. I can't find any of the images from day two or day five and six of my trip....missing numbers indicate I have lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 images. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ouch!! In the workds of a famous ex-president.. "I feel you pain". I have yet to recover about 1/2 of my Calif images. Have you tried to use a recovery program on them?

Well...I did have some firsts...first meal at a Red Robin...had a very good burger and a couple of beers there. First meal at a Claimjumpers...had some excellent prime rib there. Ate at a decent place with Wu...but the name escapes me...guess the company was too good. Then again...had a pretty good meal with friends in Scottsdale too.

Claimjumpers had some pretty decent ribs if I'm remembering correctly.

I guess you are trying a recovery program. Glad it's working.

glad you're recovering some shots, Dan!

Funny, Dan!

My middle name Harm...hehehe

Kluck Kluck.

So whats up today?

I managed to $%^$ up my back last night, before footy, so I had to pull out of that one....much better today, so far at least....just gotta keep it warm

Yikes. Take it easy....

W00l, do you use a ballhead with your monopod? I still have not worked out a good monopod workflow since the vast majority of the time, I am either handholding or bring the full set of sticks and that inevitably means ballhead. Yup...100-400 on the tripod..

Yo, everyone!

Dan, have you made any more progress on your missing shots? Big time bummer to miss that much stuff from such a nice trip!
