The ronin 2 video series sounds like a great idea! I would love more prep videos or camera build videos to get an idea into your process of setting up for gimbal, steadicam, Techno crane, dolly etc
Friend, tell me, I want to film a moving person entering a restaurant. The tilta m has handles for controlling the focusing motors. Is it possible to control the focus movement while moving? Is it generally possible for a single operator, carrying a camera and holding it by the focus control knobs, to twist his wheel and control the focus or is it very difficult? Is it possible to control focus without measuring distances but by controlling it based on the image on the monitor? Or is it necessary to have a monitor with a backlit focusing part like yours?
In general, it is difficult to operate and pull your own focus, especially on a gimbal. If you are using the Titla M you should try to get someone to pull focus for you off of a monitor. Another solution is if your camera has auto focus capabilities. Use lenes that will work with the cameras autofocus. It would be much easier. If you have to do it yourself with the Titla M...try setting the focus to the distance you want your subject and do your best to stay that distance throughout the shot. You can shoot at a higher t-stop/f-stop to help with depth of field. Good luck.
At this point it's just a matter of scheduling with the instructor. The WGA strike should make it easier since no one is working right now. Hopefully in the next month or so.

These are all going to be covered in the AC training videos.
Do you have any updated/new 3D printed plans? Love what you did with your tv logic!!
I do! I've made a few different accessories and plan on selling them before the end of the year.

When will the Ronin2 video going to be ready?
