Don't stop worrying, I have another one still with fedex same as the last one they lost. So we are still waiting to see if that shows up. It's a total nightmare. Thanks for watching!

I bought that 2 years ago and to this day, that was the only day we used it. I would highly recommend a DJI Ronin gimble. Much easier, smaller and it won't kill your back. Not that it is not good, because it is, good quality, but nobody wants to use it. I don't know if you heard but Americans are lazy Fu#k$ and the laziest ones all seem to work for me. I am glad you got a laugh out of me trying to use it. I honestly still have no clue how to do it and I am told the vest was even on inside out!

The distance could be a few feet to maybe 30, but the further you go, the bigger the projection. We were at about 18' from the wall. The fan is not bad, I was wearing a Lav right next to it, so you could hear it, typically your talent wont be near the fan or the projector. You could always replace the fan with a quieter modern muffin fan if it is a problem. Or the bulb with an LED and shut the fan off. but it is really cool what you can do with it, we were really surprised once we started playing with it.

I'm surprised I have not heard of anybody else doing this. Absolutely amazing. Thanks so much for sharing.

@@WINGMANIII We had not seen anyone doing this either but we did leave one thing out, check out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYOmpYqun5Wtf8U imagine adding that to video or photography.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "acid trip."

The movmax tracks are 12" on center, so you have to drill the holes 12" apart. as long as you have at least enough to do that, any length is fine. Ours are cut at 14" which is perfect if you don't want any overhang. We are currently working on a video of how to use your track assembly as a vehicle hood and roof rig by adding suction cups. It probably wont be done until next month, but it will give you more uses for the track assembly. Glad to hear you like the content, we really enjoy doing it.

@ you rock! Found some parts that’ll work for me. I work in social media, let me know if you ever need a hand- Looking forward to the new videos, I’ll be watching for them!

There are only so many people that need the information so we don't have many views. But we like doing them. As for locking, I have not seen that on cheaper dollies. You might be able to buy an older dolly, Vinten, Cartoni, ITE or O'conner or something high end that has that function. I have a few Cartoni P-20s that do that but they are $7,000 each. But sometimes you can find a used dolly for under $200 on ebay that can lock wheels into a position.

That was the name my mom gave me at birth, I really stuck with it. Long story, but I was a dog poop salesman for the last decade. mrdogpoop.com/ the company was Mr Dog Poop Inc long before the studio was created.

We will try to get that out for you. As for hardware we used a $75 android tablet from Amazon and all The Deity items are on the same app. The zoom Fn8 Pro has a separate app, but also on the same tablet. It is an easy cheap way to monitor and adjust everything from one device. You are welcome to come over some time and play with it, maybe you would like to be in the demo video where we go over it. You could ask questions and we could be explaining it to you. By we, I do mean Jason.

You can always cover it up with some padding or tape. I doubt it would be a problem, but yes, it could be an issue. I hope they change the design to prevent it.

Yeah, there is that. But it is cheap, so not a big deal. We have wrapped 300 watt street lights and the cellophane did wrinkle a bit, but was fine for the shoot. Obviously, if you keep it further away, you wont have an issue. Just leave enough space to cool. And don't put it in front of Tungsten lights or HMI of course. On the lower wattage lights, we had no problem. It is not as resilient as gels, but it is technically shrink wrap, so high heat could affect it or distort it somewhat.

@@mrdogpoopstudios thanks for quick reply! I randomly found your video because I'm actually interested in light for an installation I'm doing for an art thing. Really useful thanks

@@vickis3164 Then you definitely do not want to spend money on video lighting. Check out our video on cheap RGB lights from amazon at $15 each. It might be a better solution for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXzViZ5-aL6kodU

The Bovbox is better but the edup is not bad. You can see for yourself in this clip of the directors monitor build video. Much better than the app on the andriod device. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaPGh4eHiLJ1naM

Jokes aside, I do take it everywhere. It's hard to drink in the shower, but I can take a sip before i get in and when I get out. It is actually prescribed by my doctor as an "Emotional Support Beer" so it is legal for me to take it anywhere. We have a lot of fun building these ideas and even more when we get to shoot movies with them. We can get shots that nobody else has thought of, yet.

I think you are right, I did a search and could not find it. But you can still buy the dolly only for $299.

@@mrdogpoopstudios I think I may go that route and get some speed rails.

@@YorkeTheDirector check out our videos on how to make the $10 plate for the movmax and how to make the clamps for the rails for like $40.

@@mrdogpoopstudios I definitely will! Thank you.

There are several that we did about the Movmax dolly. Hope you check them all out for more details about it. We also did a video how to build your own, but at $299, there is no comparison to homemade.

I don't make money from KZbin either, luckily I made money from Dog Poop and I can afford this stuff now. I love making the videos, but it does not pay. As for breaking legs, we are a bit more passive on that. We were thing cement shoes or just nailing his feet to the floor. Actually the MOVO lavs were great until we started getting more people on set. Then we started losing time because of interference. Nothing like paying 20 people to sit around waiting for the noise to go away on the lavs.

I hope it helps. We will do a video later about the features of each piece and the operation.

@@mrdogpoopstudios I'm an audio engineer, so its interesting to see how others do their setups. I like the storage for the boom mics, ingenious.

@@ScarzYourFace Yeah, I made a mistake on that, the clamps come in 2 sizes and I did not know that. The larger size is what you need for the boom poles. And they come in 2 packs which is great if you put one on top and one on the bottom rather than the PVC caps. They are made to hold garden tools to a garage wall.

you can use any pipe from 1.25" OD to almost 2" OD. Speed rail is usually 1.25 or 1.5 aluminum schedule 40 pipe. You can get it at most metal supply places like Metal Supermarkets or you can use electrical conduit from Home Depot, Lowes or any electrical supply house. Pretty much any pipe will work as long as it is smooth.

I think the plate was 12 inches by 12 inches. There is no such thing as speed rail. Speed rail is just schedule 40 aluminum pipe. You could certainly get pipe with ID OD that are different than schedule 40, but we are using schedule 40 1.25 and 1.50. I did order 1.25 schedule 40 pipe and they sent me 1.25 OD pipe which is not the speedrail size, so I sent it back. So, yes, you can get pipe with different ID and OD with different properties. But the standard is 1.25 schedule 40 which is actually 1.66" OD and 1.38" ID. It is confusing, but that is the size of speed rail.

@@mrdogpoopstudios how thick is the plate?

We use 1/2" but most are 3/8" or less. I personally think 1/4" is a bit light, but would probably work fine for a small camera.

The only problem is storing them unless you have a lot of space.

The full kit has a Mitchell mount or you could buy the dolly only for $299 and the Mitchell mount adapter separately but that would be $600 and you can get the entire kit for $800 without the $400 travel case. Or at least you could a few months ago. If you are on a budget, get the dolly for $299 with free shipping at b&h and get a mitchell mount adapter from Proaim for $68 and see our video for the $10 adapter plate and bolt them together. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4HWhHSmeK6Nh6c www.ebay.com/itm/124120999591

Beer is actually part of all of our videos. It is required in our employment contracts with Mr Dog Poop. Forgetting to have beer in a video is a fire-able offense.

Honestly, I have always used cheap $40 fluid heads because I am not usually behind the camera and most shots are static. I bought a Sachtler ACE XL Fluid Head and it did not fit on an of my equipment because the ball tightening handle was too long. Ordered a $40 shorter handle on amazon and it did not tighten enough. So eventually I just cut the handle with a hacksaw and now we use it quite a bit. That is my first experience with a counterbalance head. It's nice, but I am all for whatever gets the job done. Does the counterbalance make the shot better? Not really, but it might save your gear.

@@mrdogpoopstudios Thanks! While I have you on the line: have you used the ProAim Quado? I like the idea of a 4-legged stand for the reduced footprint.

@@Standardkonto I have not used it or seen it. But for the price it looks solid. I guess I will order one and check it out. I generally like Proaim products but a few have been disappointments, however, they did offer to refund the ones I did not like, so you really cannot argue with that.

The spacers are 5.5 inches and the bolts are 6 inches. Get 6 5.5" sections of cheap 3/8 pipe and 6 bolts and save some cash. Plus, then, you can make them any length you want. The spacers are very nice just a lot to pay for them.

Great, that is what I am going for.

Unfortunately, regular lights (not video lights) are dependent on good clean power. With frequencies an voltage varying so much from location to location, you might see it in one place and not another. Try plunging them into a decent UPS and see if you still have the issue. We use them quite a bit and even use the variable transformers to dim them and have not seen any flicker. But we do get some flicker from my LED overhead lights but that could be because they are old.

They will hit the middle support. But you can get it without wheels and have it long enough to pass by the middle support. If your rails are heavy enough, you wont need a middle support even at 10' with 30+ lbs. Rather than schedule 40 pipe, you can use schedule 80 which is much heavier and can support more of a load. But most people only use 4-5 feet of rail and that wont bend even with very heavy loads.

@@mrdogpoopstudios Thank you for verifying!

@@retrospective no problem, if you ever have any questions, feel free to email or call us. We try to respond on here, but can't monitor it 24/7.

@@mrdogpoopstudios Appreciate it!

Thanks, we need all the help we can get.

That does not sound right. Who did you buy it from? Have you tried calling the CA distributor directly? Have you contacted the vendor?

That is a GREAT idea. I use them all the time around the building for drainage, never once considered using them in the bags. I am going to have to try that out.

I would recommend contacting a metal supply place and getting 1.25" schedule 40 aluminum pipe. I want to say that it is about $120 for 12'. Some people use metal electrical conduit which is half the price. As long as it is smooth and rigid, any pipe will work. What do you think of the dolly?

@@mrdogpoopstudios thank you so much I love your channel. I’ll look into that. And I haven’t used it yet lol still getting the track and low boy stands

@@ab0b3rna1 The stands are as expensive as the dolly. We just invested in the Matthews Mini Slider Stands at $300 each from B&H. It is an expensive business to be in if you want to be at a professional level.

@@mrdogpoopstudios I know so much money 😫 hopefully it will start paying it self off pretty soon

We are trying our best. Thanks for the encouragement.

Keep it, they wont be around much longer and make great props.

You have to fight KZbin to get views, if they don't show it to people, you cannot grow. Once you are big, it is easy, or if you are a 20 year old attractive girl you can get 10K subs a month. Less people want to watch an old guy complaining about everything and drinking beer.

found it. thanks. It is posted as Impact Fluorescent Floodlight Kit (120 VAC)

Try searching b&H for "impact 500 watt" they have several options, but seem to be back ordered but should be available again next month. Here is the direct link to the $38 light with 12 inch reflector, www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/271348-REG/Impact_401004_Floodlight_Reflector_with_Socket.html

@@mrdogpoopstudios I noticed that it is 120vac. In my country, India, it is 230vac Unless I go for a proper converter this may not work for me. Your posts are always interesting and informative. 👍 Thanks for the prompt response.

Light is light, if you learn to use the camera it wont matter if it is 3200K or 5400K. People need to know how to shoot in natural sunlight as well as indoor. Mr dog poop can afford any lights he wants and he chooses cheap lights because they make sense. Don't cave to the peer pressure, do what works and you can afford. Super excited that you like what we are saying.

Every once in a while, we do something useful. This was all the video guy, but we wont tell him you liked it, because he might start thinking we actually need him. Then he will want more money! But seriously, we are glad it was helpful to you.

Watch our review video and we beak down the cost. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGPMgK1mmLOmaMU It is not cheap! But overall cost depends on how much you need.

You can buy the Pro Am wheels for $159. www.proamusa.com/products/solidtrax-universal-track-dolly-diy-wheel-set-for-modus Or you might want to look into the movmax dolly for $299 which is a professional level dolly. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1785351-REG/movmax_83_0054_grip_dolly.html We did several videos about the movmax, how to add a mounting plate for $10, some accessories and a review. That would be the best option rather than dumping more money into the glide gear dolly. We also did a video about the Pro Am wheels and how to build your own dolly,
