CMR Blackbird with FX1000

Post by Doughie »

Used the blackbird with the FX1000.
Was fine, used that combo before. This was more tricky, a lot of heading up tight and steep stairs, limited space, easy to knock the T-bar on the Blackbird.

anyway, here are a few shots of the Fx1000 with a wideangle 0.7x lens, plus matte-box on my Blackbird :
It was easy to balance. Need to remember before balancing to have the LCD screen folded out, the polariser in place, everything exactly as you're gonna shoot the take :

wider-shot of the Slik 700DX tripod with Blackbird and FX1000. Its a pretty big tripod. Thats why the Fx1000 and Blackbird look kinda small in this shot:

sideview, pretty well balanced (tripod is a Slik Pro 700DX):
