아침 일찍 걷기온동을 하다보면 바람이 내귀에 가까이와서 가볍게 속삭이지요. 오늘의 운동으로
행복을 찾고 즐거운 하루를 시작하라고....나의삶의 속삭임을 듣습니다. 오늘 하루도 몸과 마음이 막힘없이
잘 흐를 수 있도록 노력해야 되겠습니다. 좋은 컨디션을 유지하기위해서 몸을 잘 관리하도록 노력해야하며
음식도 너무 뜨겁거나 너무 차가운 것도 몸에는 좋지 않다고 합니다. 적당한 선을 유지한게 좋다고 합니다.

Awesome !!!! Do you also have a video reviewing the Alexa Amira ? Thanks for this very complete demo.

[janetbailey]

Awesome Video really love the website too, Do you guys think you can do a video on the Arri Alexa XT Plus? I know its not exactly a new camera but there are zero overview videos like you guys do them.

I'm trying to figure out how my focus puller can use this well while I'm using a stabilizer and doing intricate movements. Can't use a wireless monitor, won't be in range of a wi-fi signal. I guess marks and measurements are my best bet. (Not filming on a set.)

I like your video. Well presented.

[CreateConsumeRepeat]

Silly question, how does the unit know the lens info? I have Sigma CINE PL mount glass with no digital connector for lens info.

[ericbraun]

What's the wireless range on the controller?

[matthewaudino]

can you attach a SmallHD 702 to the WCU-4?

[aujax]

this is a great tool. but does anyone think eventually autofocus in cinema cameras is the future? already in some canon and sonys we can tap a face or object and get very accurate autofocus and tracking focus. seems like this will make life a lot easier for dps and camera ops.

I don't rent Panavision, I'm left with no money

[LouiLeRoy]

Being forced to learn this thing for our crane camera. I can’t stand this thing. Not user friendly, stiff menus, worthless.
