is the $8,000 a typo? seems a bit of a price jump :)

Except that the D800 and all other DSLRs only output 8bit... so your recording to the Ninja, while 10bit - is still only using what the camera feeds it - which is 8bit 4:2:2. Now of course - this is still much better than the highly compressed internal 8bit 4:2:0 - but if you want 10bit video then you need a pro film camera.

A wise person once told me--

"Filmmaking, like all creative processes, should be about raising the bar- not lowering it. Finding the "cheapest" way to undercut other artists, to devalue their work and safety, their art, or their trade, shouldn't be the aim. When it becomes the aim you should have the integrity to reveal your motives; on the off chance those motives are lost on a few."

Here is a great look at the new noise reduction in the FS7 and how it compares to the plugins that are available-

I'm talking about the shock mount, not the mic. I have plenty of mics :)

Anyone know what mic mount they're using for the indoor mic? they mention the Rycote bbg, but I've been looking for a better mount for my mic - and theres looks nice! Or any recommendations?? I'm currently taking apart my blimp setup and using that system which is nice, but then I've got to move the supports to put my shotgun back in - so id like a second suspension system. Thanks!
