Me @ NAB
Wednesday, April 15, 2009 at 5:26PM Here’s where I’ll be in Vegas, baby:
On Monday, 4/20, I’ll be speaking at the Independent Filmmaking—A Million Dollar Look on a Thousand Dollar Budget: 2009 Edition panel. 11:30am–12:30pm in Room S222/S223.
That afternoon I will be signing copies of The DV Rebel’s Guide at the NAB Bookstore in the Central Lobby. 3–3:30pm. Copies will be on sale at the store at 15% off retail.
That night I will be at the fxphd party, so if you are enrolled, look for me there.
Tuesday (4/21) afternoon I’ll be signing and even giving away a few copies of The Guide at the Red Giant Software booth. 1:00 pm, booth SL2529.
That’s it for scheduled appearances. The rest of the time I’ll be watching Twitter for recommendations for cool gear to check out.
One spot you’re sure to see me is at the Redrock Micro booth. I’ve been playing with a new DSLR rig from them that combines light weight with single-operator follow-focus capability. Here’s a sneak peek:
It’s hard to see in this shot, but my left hand is wrapped around a horizontal grip that matches the vertical one on the right. I can cradle the grip and operate focus at the same time. Schweet!
If this rig looks weird to you, blame me, not Redrock. Look for more information on that in an announcement from them soon! Redrock is at booth C9544.

That rig, called the “Captain Stu-bling,” is not available directly from Redrock. It may look weird, but it’s a joy to use, and quite affordable as this stuff goes.

Hey all, you'll notice your Disqus comments are buh-bye. I had not realized that switching to Disqus would destroy all the previous comments. That's not OK, so we're back to SquareSpace's default setup. Sorry for the switcharoo and the lost feedback.
Steve Weiss thanks for your input on this. The rig is is meant for ENG and all Cinematographers. The rigs weight will be around 12lbs. like the varicam and cinealta. I really think that critical focus on this camera makes or breaks the image. The lenses available to this camera create narrow depth of field so focus is essential. I know this is hard to do with the LCD display and that is why we created it to adapt to an electronic viewfinder. The system works both shoulder mount and on a professional tripod. Here is the link again since the posts were erased. See you at NAB.

Damn, I won't be making NAB this year and so I'll miss the opportunity to meet you face-to-face. Bah.
Oh well. Knock 'em dead.
The rig looks hot!
Vegas is far away, I'm on another continent.
Greetings

I am assuming my post got erased - but I was asking if the discount applies to anyone who can't make it to NAB this year because of finances etc. 15% off is a great deal - it would be nice to have while sitting at home when everyone else at NAB is having fun.
Sorry David, your comment got hidden when I turned off Disqus. But here's the good news: Amazon's everyday price on The Guide is 37% off retail.
That's startling similar to the one I posted up weeks ago!
Great minds think alike...

I have that DSLR2.0 stuff, good idea, but doesn't work as well just yet. Met up with Brian a while back to show him what I had concocted, hoping that they apply the changes!
Hi Stu,
just wanted to alert you to this post about your panel. Would love to hear your thoughts and thanks for signing my copy of the DV Rebel's Toolkit. I learned so much from it and the DVD.
