How will trying to do two jobs at once on the day expand your business?


I am not talking about weddings. In my case the time involved can be a problem, but then other times it isn't. Either the client needs to hire the video guy ($$$ goes into video guys pocket) or they build more time into the schedule and book me for a longer time ($$$ into my pocket). Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

An interesting thing about the 5D2 is that many (me) will buy it because of the regular camera uses and not the video ,but then will eventually try video and will find it useful, where they (me included) are not going to spend $2k-$3k on video camera right off the bat.

Apparently Adam Savage (Mythbusters) is also a Canon geek as well. He posted some messages on twitter about his 85mm 1.2, as well as a photo of his 5D2 video rig.

Given that this is the wedding forum I think it was reasonable to conclude that you were.

If you wanna do it right, go with www.zacuto.com, www.redrockmicro.com or possibly www.cinevate.com
All look like better alternatives.

Good point, but the wedding forum is the only one with any activity, so I sometimes poke my head in here...
