My latest accessory addition to the jib rig. The RoboCup drink and knickknacks holder is the unofficial Official drink holder of camera carts around the world. 👍🏽

Well the original gig wrapped early but the hotel room is already paid for the next two nights. Not often that the hotel room has the space to convert into a quick video set. I have some b-roll and a talking head thing to shoot for another project as long as I have all the interview gear with me. 🎥🎬

The joystick test went very well….how did the Director phrase it? GEORGE IS A BEAST!!! 😁
I had those crosshairs locked on like a Predator drone. So I would say that I am extremely satisfied with how the upgraded joystick worked out. 😇

10/18/2023

Thank you again for the quick release pins! 🤗🤗

10/15/2023

I finally upgraded the joystick on the Jimmy Jib. 🤗 I think the original one was slowly dying and timing was perfect in recommending the upgrade kit for Jimmy Jib from John Huffman. As you can see, I did it myself! 😃 Now off to practice with how it handles.

3905 Century Club Net your QSL cards are in the mail! 🥵 More to come. ☺️

09/30/2023

Okay, so I’m a bit behind in getting my cards printed but I promise to get them in the mail during the month of October. 🫣 They are officially at the printers and I promise look better than this cheap screen shot since I went out to shoot the photo this morning with my good camera.

I’m just spitballing here but I’m thinking that if being vegetarian is that important to you, why are you eating pork? 🫠

Every time I come close to talking myself into a FX3/30, I a reminded why I hesitated when it comes to rigging up to the jib. 😐

Up on 40M tonight! 🤗 Just checking out the bands and my gear.

Man the Fukien Gourmet raised their prices $2.00! 😅

Hey Jimmy Jib peeps! I’ve been pouring over the documents for the film zoom module but they seem to be incomplete. Since I can’t seem to get the time of day from I am seeking your help.

Does anyone know what the black and white buttons are supposed to do?

Does anyone know what points are to be jumped on the motherboard? (The instructions mention a jumper without any reference.🤨)

Shoot me a DM if you can help. Thanks everyone!!

Whenever a long mic check is needed for the lectern, 🎤 I always have a prepared speech at the ready. 😀

06/06/2023

Practicing and working out an efficient way to pull down the background in order to make the subject pop. ➡️

At the same time, working on noise reduction techniques as the camera was set at iso 8000 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Doing a test run with an old acquaintance, Robert Garland, in the “new” studio setup.

Grade, edit, track, run the radio net, then back to grading. 🤗 Putting in my polymath time this week. 🤓

Temporary step down to conduct the weekly radio net…now back to work 😀

I couldn’t decide 🤤🤤🤤 on which special to get so now I have lunch and dinner. 😋😋 Goodness, I keep forgetting how big these sandwiches are 😳😳

I’ll have to circle back for the bacon special too!!! 🥓🥓🥓🥓

Finally got the new computer monitors in and calibrated just in time for an NDA’d color project. 🤫

02/08/2023

Well, it looks like one of the monitors is delaminating itself. 🤔 It just demoted itself to scope duty until I can replace it. 🫠

The baby Trinity is out for her maiden run on a music video shoot today. Then I will switch over to the jib for the second day of shooting. 🤗

I’m pretty happy with the images we captured for a political commercial. Hopefully, it will lead to a new avenue for the business. 🤞🏽
