Hi to all.
I use the new canon XF305 with 4:2:2 color sampling at 50 Mbps with almost good results.

A good rig I use is the manfrotto accessory arm 131DDB that will let you offset your camera about 60cm from the center of your tripod, and in so I can shoot from over the anesthetist screen without interfering with his work.

About the MarkII … there is no remote control for the zoom or the push AF available, and so, I can’t use it in my work.
Neither an HD SD output, so I can’t use it during a live transmission too!

Hi Rob!

Great that you found something of interest here.

I’ve mostly been using the DV Rig Pro. It’s great for keeping the camera above eye level and out from your body, which is very useful when shooting over the anesthetist screen.

I also use a custom made stand which allows me to place a remote controlled camera straight above the surgical field. I’ll post on that sometime soon.

Impressive CV, by the way!

Hi Sterile Eye,

Very interested to read your stuff. I’m a Hong Kong based video journalist and producer, and am being called upon more and more to shoot surgical procedures by the medicos at Hong Kong University where I do some part-time lecturing. Interesting to read your comments on the ‘red’ limitations of DV and HDV. (I shoot on a Z1 and A1.) Would be keen to know what kind of support you use for your camera ?

Bests,
Rob.
