  2. March Meeting- Toronto based DP Paul Steinberg and his Canon C300 – Skype

    March 7, 2012 by tbapvavideo



    Toronto based DP and the hardest working man in Canadian television “Helpful” Paul Steinberg will be joining us via Skype to discuss his thoughts on the new Canon EOS Cinema Camera the C300. Paul was one of the 1st Canadians to get his hands on the camera as Canon Canada had him as a guest speaker along with Vincent Laforet on their Cross Canada tour. Check out this article about the tour

    Here is the test video he shot on cold Toronto weekend after receiving the camera.

    Paul has shot for big networks like Sportsnet and TSN. He has done commercial spots for Coors and Canada’s Got Talent. He is a RED One and soon to be RED Epic owner and a self proclaimed camera nerd! He is a true believer that certain jobs call for certain cameras. If it has a record button he has pressed it. Paul stated in regards to the C300 “it solves all the problems of DSLR shooting but still uses EF mount lenses. Very nice, very pleasing pictures. Good enough for me to put my money on it.”

    When: Tuesday March 27th— 7pm
    Where: North Tampa Photography (Training Room) 1024 West Busch Blvd., Tampa, FL 33612
    Cost: Members FREE, $10 non-members

  5. Join the TBAPVA 2012- Enter to win Manfrotto 755XB

    January 12, 2012 by tbapvavideo

    For Members and anyone wanting to become a new member. January is here and it is time to pay our dues, membership is $75 for the year. What better way to celebrate the New Year becoming a member of the TBAPVA for 2012 automatically gives you a chance to win a Manfrotto 755XB MDeVe Aluminum Video Tripod Legs – with 50mm leveling ball!

    The Manfrotto 755XB MDeVe Aluminum Video Tripod Legs is an extremely versatile two-stage aluminum tripod that was designed specifically for run-and-gun videographers using Mini-DV or DVCAM camcorders where rapid, reliable setup and take-down is paramount. Supporting payloads up to 15.4 lbs (7kg), no sacrifices in strength or performance have been made in this effort.

    The 755XB has been redesigned to offer better ergonomics of the leg-angle release mechanism, and improved quick action leg locks. Flip lever leg locks clamp down tightly in one motion, yet are adjustable for wear over time. The built-in 50mm leveling ball provides rapid column leveling on uneven terrain, and leg tubes are grooved and keyed for torsional stability during setup and use.

    Built-in 50mm leveling ball for rapid set up with ±15° of leveling capability
    Anti-rotation tubing and leg collars make for a tripod which is more efficient to set up, position, and take down
    Three angled grub screws surrounding the 3/8″ mounting stud firmly lock head in place
