Greg, you are very welcome, that is great, you can buy the !DC to Anton Bauer adapter on Letus35. I designed that baby. I think they are shipping soon.

Thanks Shane

Here is a link to a photo of our innovative power solution for the Canon 1DC with Master Cinema Series 2.0. Power convertor in battery cache. Power Anton Bauer p-tap.

Greg. I had the cables custom made. Contact Drew (drew@audiodept.com) at Audio Department in you would like to purchase some.

Thanks,

GB

Justin Teichen. What we did is take the AC adapter for the 1DC and do a power step down so we can take Anton Power 13volt power and step it down to the voltage of the camera. This gives you a days worth of shooting instead of swapping batteries. Thank you for the kind words and support.

I noticed the use of Anton Bauer batteries with the Canon 1Dc. Can you explain this camera configuration?

Thank you for your time in addressing my question.

Zade Akkad. Hdmi was sent out from the 1DC into the EVF, Hdmi out the EVF into the TV-Logic and SDI out to video village.

Stop spamming with your stupid (not even functional) site.

I noticed that you had a TV-Logic external monitor. Is the monitor connected by SDI or HDMI? If SDI, is that an after market accessory?

Lamberto Lamberti. Thank you so much for the kind words and support.

Matthew Marzano. Thank you so much for the kind words,information and support. Here are the answers to your questions.

1. To my knowledge it will automatically switch from one card to another. The protocol for the elite team though was to only shoot on one card at a time to play it safe and better data management. Each card reflecting the a separate “roll”.

1B. Just like the C300 and 5DMkIII there should be a Plug in when the Camera is released for the different NLE’s to stitch the clips together.

2. Canon log on the 1DC provides increased dynamic range, but can’t be pushed into the higher ISO’s like the Neutral setting. It comes down to knowing how far you can push the camera. From testing I found that Log can be pushed to 1600-3200 ISO max without noticing fixed pattern noise, and Neutral as high as 6400 ISO.

3. The MCS cage does not allow space for the Canon GPS attachment GP-E1.

3B. All cages (except for the 1Dx/DC) can be attached directly onto a tripod and therefore if any baseplate that mimic the attachment of a tripod would work.

Shane, Thank you for a great blog.
About the no-go on 25, ok it’s for cinema, but as I understand it the 24fps is not a true 24, but rather the NTSC-TV land friendly framerate of 23,976fps – is this true, and if it is and they do intend it for “Cinema”, why is there no option for a true 24? (or is this possibly what you are referring to above in another post that switching the camera system to PAL will help slightly in reducing fluorescent flickering in 50Hz countries – does the PAL system setting flip the 23,976 to a true 24?)
Kind regards
Joachim

Regarding battery life, here is the info directly from Canon (keep in mind it will be a bit less if you use IS lenses):

Movie Shooting Battery Life
4K: 1 hr. 25 min. at 73°F / 23°C

1 hr. 15 min. at 32°F / 0°C

Full HD (30 fps, ALL-I): 2 hr. 10 min. at 73°F / 23°C

2 hr. at 32°F / 0°C

Some questions I have:

1. On page 38 of the manual, “Even if [Record func.] is set to [Auto Switch Card] the card cannot be switched automatically during movie shooting mode.” I was under the impression that with a 12 hour continuous movie mode that spanned clips would be possible. Does that mean it will not automatically start recording to the second card when the first one fills up?

1B. If it is possible, are the NLE’s (Avid specifically) able to stitch together the spanned clips?

2. On page 44 of the manual, “When Canon Log gamma is set, vertical noise stripes may appear in movies depending on subject or shooting conditions.” Well, that doesn’t sound good. Did you experience this (specifically in low light, like your ferris wheel shots)? What are the workaround options (I imagine, add light or change out of Canon Log, but I’d like your opinion)?

3. Does your MCS Cage allow space for the Canon GPS attachment GP-E1?

3B. I want to attach the MCS cage to a different baseplate, is this possible yet, if not what is the ETA?

Jay C, the camera battery life is very good. I would say on 4K you could shoot most of the day on 3 batts. The camera has all the quirks of a DSLR but the most cinematic of all the cameras on the market. The 1DC and C100 are in two different leagues. One is for cinema and the other for weddings

No external monitor for a 4k picture, lightwieght DSLR form factor, a canon company to backup the camera not an upstart company.

Shane im almost sold on this or c100,

WHAT is battery life if shooting in 4k, realistically how long will camera last if shooting in 4k and how much are replacement batteries, i ask because it would be amazing to carry a full days of batteries in a pocket for a shoot for cheap as opposed to battery external mounts

Mike, you are very welcome. There are no lines that you can turn on. You have to do in manually. We use an EVF to generate the 2:40 aspect lines, or just tape the back LCD and your lighting monitor. We do this by creating a 2:40 framing chart. Then put in on a wall, then lens up the camera so that it fills the left and right side of the screen and you then mark you top and bottom frame line off of the chart. Hope this helps

Mike, the camera as it stands now will not do 25fps. And yes it will flicker when shooting inside and or outside if you have fluorescents in the background. You can help this a little by changing the HZ select to 50 which is what your country is. I would test that before you go buy one of these babies.
