Really like this vlog for grip related stuff! I’ve started started getting more into production videography and videos like this are SUPPERR helpful even just for learning terminology!
Always more to learn! Stay tunes and I’ll be coming out with more video vlogs and instruction videos. Menace arms, wall spreaders, large frames, tenting windows, condor rigging. all that kind of stuff I’m planning to get to eventually! Hopefully it’ll be helpful to everyone.
Great video! One question about the c-stand boom arm. Looks like you have an ear going into a lollipop mounting to the base stand, but how are you connecting the c-stand? Thanks in advance. Looking forward to your video on this.
Thank you! Its a pipe clamp bolted to an ear. This one is from Kupo, but American makes one as well that is welded instead of bolted. Google C Boom clamp and a few options should come up. Video is being edited now.
@@cfl4286 Feel free to just address this in the video if you prefer, but could you support weight with the c-stand fully extended? approx 10ft? Looking at an impact boom and maxes out around 5 feet and is $60. Will either buy that or the c-boom clamp. Thank you again
@@ericdargan yes, it can go full extension. You would just need to counterweight it properly with a shot bag and ratchet strap, and also make sure not put any light on it that’s heavier than a couple pounds (LIte mat, 60 watt LED, etc.). Any heavier you’ll bend it. Are you talking about an aluminum impact boom? I would steer clear of that. For dedicated boom arms you need steel to safely arm a light out over talent. A Menace arm is the only exception, but is made with Schedule 40 speedrail w/ a menace arm hardware, and is supported by ratchet straps to keep it from bending. Also, for any boom you need a combo stand for the base. Definitely not something you want to do off of a C Stand or Baby Stand. Hope this helps!
It’s project dependent. Usually between $600 and $800 per day for labor. On a feature film or longer form project the rate goes down to $400 or so. The van and equipment prices are all additional and listed on my website!
Great vlog! Nice to see another G&E vlogger here on YT! Keep it coming!
Just subbed!
