Re: XL-H1 w/ P+S mini35 Adapter

Todd-
Thanks so much for the comprehensive responses. Your setup looks awesome!
I can't wait to get my hands on the mini35 adapter. I've even downloaded and printed out the user manual in anticipation and have read it front to back.
I'm actually going to the rental house on Monday with my camera to check everything and make sure they have all the proper adapters to hook it up to our H1. Planning to get a little hands-on time with it before picking it up for the shoot.
We do have a Petcroff follow focus that we use with our standard Canon lens, and a whip to go with it. Have you used one of those? Think it will do the trick? If not, they are fairly inexpensive to rent.

Also, thanks for the head's up on the balancing issue. We have a full set of rails from Zacuto, I am hoping that I can use those to get the weight distribution just right.

I do have 2 more questions for you. Is the 'back focus' something you need to check once before you start shooting, or do you need to check it any time you change out the lens you are using? Is it difficult to set this using the stock canon viewfinder in the field? Or would you recommend always doing it on an HD field monitor?

Thanks again!
