New Vincent Laforet Video with the Canon 5D Mark II

November 27, 2008 By Eric Reagan Leave a Comment

Vincent Laforet has posted another video shot with the Canon 5D Mark II. Clearly, Laforet has developed a fondness for this new camera:

And I will admit this camera has brought me back the closest to the feeling I had at the age of 15 when I had my first camera and a few rolls of Tri-X to burn through. Simply put – it’s so much fun and pure.

Canon 5D Mark II Video by Dan Chung

November 24, 2008 By Eric Reagan 9 Comments


Canon EOS5DmkII, One night in Beijing. from Dan Chung on Vimeo.

Here’s some more video from a 5D Mark II – this time a store-bought production model. Again, it’s very pretty video; however, the stutter in the panning has bothered me since the first video samples came out. Anybody else see this as a problem?

Details on the video:

Video filmed by Guardian photographer Dan Chung entirely on a production Canon EOS5DmkII and adapted Nikon and Zeiss lenses using manual focus. The camera was purchased to use solely as a video camera with existing Nikon kit.

The film was shot an edited in about twelve hours directly after picking the camera up from a Beijing camera store and charging the battery.

Lenses used are:
Nikon 17-35 f2.8
Nikon 80-200 f2.8
Nikon 85mm f2.8 shift lens
Nikon 16mm f2.8 fisheye

Zeiss/Contax 85mm f1.4

November 19, 2008 By Eric Reagan Leave a Comment

David Ziser over at Digital Pro Talk has a nice hands-on account of 8 hours with the Canon 5D Mark II.

I can’t wait to permanently get my hands on this baby. The phenomenally high ISO capabilities promise some unbelievable benefits especially to us event shooters.

This is the first unofficial video made with Canon 5D Mark II that I’ve seen.  I’ll let you judge for yourself.

Zacuto Joins Pro Video Scene for Nikon D90 and Canon 5D Mark II

October 29, 2008 By Eric Reagan 4 Comments

Zacuto is another (remember Redrock?) video accessory maker that has joined the trend of pimping out your DSLR for video use.  By the way, did you see the latest Canon videos?  The Reverie video is back, as well as a wedding video – both with the 5D Mark II.

Zacuto has got kits designed specifically for the new Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D90.  Don’t expect them to go for the price of a nice tripod though (no prices listed yet for the DSLR mounts).  One of the other base model kits, the DOF Docu Baseplate Kit, goes for a meager $1216.  Granted, that may be a bargain in video world, but pulling in traditional photographers at those prices may be a tough sell.

It’ll be interesting to see how well these accessories are received among photographers (or budding videographers).  What do you think?  Is there a Zacuto mount on your Christmas list now?

Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D90: Accessorized for Video

October 24, 2008 By Eric Reagan 8 Comments

It was only a matter of time until some industrious company stepped in and filled this niche.  Redrock Micro “Redrock Micro designs and sells a line of high quality cinema accessories for independent filmmakers, film educators and students, and budget-conscious moviemakers” and has just upped the ante for the mainstay of DSLR accessory makers that have been resting on their fat laurels.

The above contraption is a video platform designed to the specs and functionalities of our two video-capable DSLRs, the Canon 5D Mark II and the Nikon D90.  So, what’s it do?

Redrock accessories for video DSLRs transform video DSLRs into production-ready cinema solutions by providing:

  • Rock-solid 15mm support system
  • Follow focus for accurate and repeatable focusing
  • Swing-away mattebox for light management and easy access to changing lenses
  • Shoulder mount and handgrips for steady handheld use
  • Support cage for enhanced stability and low angle shot
