Zacuto Sony FS700 Rigs
Welcome to the Sony NEX-FS700 HD Super Slow Motion camcorder! The latest workhorse in Sony’s line-up of NXCAM interchangeable E-mount camcorders offers more practical options and streamlined ergonomics over their Sony FS100 model.
The Sony FS700 can capture footage at up to an amazing 960 frames per second and features a range of new capabilities such as 3G HD-SDI output and the top of the line 4K “Exmor” Super 35 CMOS sensor, which is specialized for high sensitivity and low noise.
Other big improvements in the new FS700 over the FS100 include a much sturdier, bigger top handle, built-in ND filters, a removable camera control grip on a 12″ cable, and a ‘hold’ button to turn off the buttons. Very useful when working shoulder mounted so you don’t change your settings if the camera side brushes against your body (it’s the little things that count!).

TimeScapes “Rapture” by Tom Lowe
Nobody does a time-lapse like Tom. His work makes me feel insignificant as a man, as compared to the universe he shows us. I’ve never really seen work quite like this…where there are so many time factors; for example, how fast he moves his dolly, time of day and exposure duration. His work is truly a math problem that he has figured out the equation to. Tom is a cinematographer and more and it comes as no surprise that Tom Lowe has been named “2010 Astronomy Photographer of the Year.” Congrats Tom and I can’t wait to see the finished film and what comes next. ~Steve

Saving Money at Film Festivals ~Joe Swanberg
Film festivals can be a daunting financial proposition for indie filmmakers, especially if the festival can’t pay for flights and accommodation. I have spent several years traveling the festival circuit with no money and I have picked up a trick or two for saving a buck. It’s not glamorous, but it works.

Zacuto Rentals Increases Inventory
Zacuto Rentals has done it yet again! We have improved our inventory with some great new upgrades and equipment! Some new rentals that you can now take advantage of now include the Sony PMW-FS700, the PL-mount version of the Canon C300, Arri’s new L7-C LED lights, and two upgrades to the Sony’s PMW-F3 camera: the S-log firmware update, as well as Canon and Nikon lens mount adapters.
The Sony PMW-F3 camera has a new update, the F3 S-Log, which is an optional camera software upgrade that allows the Sony F3 to record footage in the fully uncompressed 4:4:4 color space and allows users to turn on the S-Log feature in the profile menu. With the upgrade you can make adjustments to other camera settings such as black level, color, and white balance. Without recording at 4:4:4, “S-Log” adds a full two stops of dynamic range to the F3, allowing the camera to perform better in low-light situations.
