Q & A with Michael Bravin, Chief Technology Officer at Band Pro Film & Digital, Inc.

What do you think are some of the most underrated pieces of equipment in the industry (best-kept secrets?)
The SI-2K is the most underappreciated camera in the market right now. It has several reconfigurable parts, is able to be used as the 2K Mini in very tight spaces, and be controlled from a laptop computer. It also allows for any lens to be mounted, from PL and PV to B4 to C Mount and Nikon, Canon and Leica. The workflow is simple and straightforward and it has a touch screen interface featuring a simple-to-follow user interface. It is a data camera, so you capture Raw data with on-set looks as meta-data only, so you can perform non-destructive painting in pre-production or on set without limiting the control of the image in post. It has high sensitivity and dynamic range and is a very reasonably priced package. Click here for more.

  9. "I am thankful for the hybrid DSLR. It has changed things in so many ways: it has created an unprecedented level of price and performance for shooting motion video that was previously unthinkable at this price point. Perhaps most importantly it 'let the cow out of the barn' that a huge 35mm chip that shoots video is possible at a very low price. Camera manufacturers previously led us to believe it would be too expensive, but Canon has proved them wrong!" — Brian Valente, Redrock Micro
