Equipment for dslr-filming

Many people asked me: "What is the perfect Equipment for filming?"

I told them: All you need is a good eye and a camera. So that´s all. And if you produce nature movies you need different kind of stuff like for action movies. Different lenses, dollys, different filters, cameras and so on and so on. Than they asked me: "hey, come on Friedhelm, what are you using to produce movies." And i told them i have bla bla bla and a bla bla bal and a bla bla bla.

So i think this is like that Commercial-AD where some mens show what the have. Do you know this TV-spot: "My house, my Car, my girlfriends". I hate this "hey look what i have"

But always people ask me, so i show you some of my stuff for filming.

Cameras and lenses
	CANON 7D This is my, wait i have to think...., Yes my 5th DSLR Photo Camera 3 Canons and one Nikkon, and i think it´s the best one ever. I use this Canon 7D Camera for photo shooting and also for filming. OK crob factor 1.6 has one big problem - if you shoot indoor by low light you sometimes need extra light, because 30 mm 1,4 is not real 30 mm, it´s 48mm. Features 18MP APS-C CMOS sensor Up to 8fps shooting ISO range up to 12800 Approx. 100% Viewfinder 19 cross-type AF points iFCL metering system Dual "DIGIC 4" Full HD movie Integrated Speedlite Transmitter 3" Clear View II LCD Magnesium alloy body with environmental protection Current price?

	TOKINA AT-X 116 PRO DX AF 11-16mm F2.8 Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX is an ultra-wide angle lens with a fast f/2.8 aperture for better photography in low-light situations. Many photojournalists consider having an f/2.8 aperture a must for any lens in their camera bag. Based on the award-winning optical design of the AT-X 124 PRO DX (12-24mm f/4) lens, the new AT-X 116 PRO DX has a slightly shorter zoom range to maintain optical quality at wide apertures. Tokina's exclusive One-touch Focus Clutch Mechanism allows the photographer to switch between AF and MF simply by snapping the focus ring forward for AF and back toward the camera to focus manually. There is no need to change the AF-MF switch on Nikon cameras** and there is no second AF/MF switch on the lens for Canon, everything is accomplished by the focus ring. Current price? Click here:

	JAG35 D\|Focus Version 3 A Follow Focus is a Focus control mechanism used in film and video cameras. It is ergonomic rather than strictly necessary; in other words it does not contribute to the basic functionality of a camera but instead allows the operator to be more efficient and precise. It is usually operated by a focus puller (often called the 1st assistant camera, or 1st AC) but some camera operators prefer to pull their own focus (the act of changing focus is called "pulling" or "racking" focus). Traditionally follow focus systems costs thousands of dollars, and many manufacturers have tried to make a more affordable follow focus, but they still cost hundreds of dollars, well finally David Aldrich has come up a truly affordable design.
