Ha! I'm in Seattle...same thing. Everything is too wet to burn.

You could test that theory by putting a magnifying glass in the sun and seeing if you can burn a sheet of paper through one of your filters.

Nah...I think the sensor is the big worry unless you're shooting with plastic lenses.

Heh...yeah, I leave my 550D set on 30 second auto off. I bought it specifically for shooting video so if it's on, it's in video mode and all my glass is f/2.8 or faster. The last thing I need is to melt my camera. I'm so used to shooting in low light, concert stuff and low light long...

P.S Beware of that winter sun. Lenses aren't appreciative that way. I think he means that your lens is basically a magnifying glass aimed at your camera's sensor. So you don't want to leave it pointed at a bright light source. It's something I hadn't considered much since I mostly shoot...

No problem :)

Made this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/faust0matic/5138960761/ to replace the craptastic one I made a few weeks ago. I wanted something with a folding lever so I could set my camera down without fear of breaking my manual focus.

Don't get me wrong, if I had the money I'd buy one, but I don't. What I do have is a garage full of metal and a mill...and 16 years machining experience :) Also, I'm a total cheapskate. LOL!

Stead-DSLR - $347.00 (plus S&H) < and that's why I don't have one LOL! If I had that much cash to spend on gear I'd probably put it towards another lens or buy some more class 6 cards. The card thing is killing me right now. I have +/- 40GB of fast cards, but most are CF cards and the SDHC...

Finished it today. Hopefully the photo shows up, if not you can see it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/faust0matic/5135191425/ Guess I'm not allowed to post photos. It's hard to see, but that's a vertical grip in front of the camera and behind the microphone mount. This is my first one...

Opteka makes disposable rain covers for SLRs with a drawstring & lock at either end of the tube. They also make one with an area designed to hold an attached flash. It's big enough to hold a 1D body with a 580EX and a 600mm L lens. If you can mount your mic to your hot shoe or turn the cover...

Hopefully by this weekend. I'm so close to finishing it that I'm motivated to get it done :)

After seeing the price tag on Cinevate's Uno rig I decided to make my own. I've got 16 years experience as a machinist and I have a lathe/mill combo so other than my time and some screws I'm not out a whole lot of cash. My materials bill would be a lot higher but I had most of what I needed...

I did the hose clamp too, but I changed it for a homemade focusing ring (what do you call it?? I'm a photographer, so this all new to me) I made on my mill. I bought a T2i and I'm learning video. I don't know what lenses you're using, but I know that even with the focus assist my 50mm f/1.4...
