Hello everyone. Trying to guage interest in an extremely lightweight filter holder I've developed to see if it's worth opening it up to the gimbal/UAV/Steadicam market. It's designed to work just like a mattebox (ability to swap filters quickly, add more than one, etc.) except without all the extra weight. Couple of questions: - What are you currently using for light control? - What lenses do you use most often? - Do you prefer round, 4x4, or 4x5.65 filters? - If round, Series 9, 4.5", or 138mm? - Would you pay a slightly higher price If it was able to rotate the filter internally to keep the rig balanced? Thanks in advance. Cheers,
Hi Eric, I could be interested, but I see every type of camera and lens. Probably see more square filters then round. I might also be interested in the balanced rotation, but it all depends on what that increase is. Hope that helps.
Thanks, Jim. The good news is that it'll work with a variety of lens diameters. The rotating stage is simply more complex to design/build, hence more expensive.
Eric, I'm interested also. I mostly see square filters. I'm using Super 16 and Super 35 lenses often and a lightweight filter holder is a must.
Hi Eric, i actually started a similar project in the middle of last year, but nobody showed real interest... See this post: http://forum.freeflysystems.com/ind...arbon-filter-bridge-for-m-10.4456/#post-46955 Maybe we could work something out together? I have all necessary machines like CNC mill and stuff….
