How Could You Resist? Look At That Deck...

on June 25, 2020
Okay. I have to admit it. The deck looks magnificent. Even for a stills-only shooter it has that techno-appeal that makes me want one. I just have no idea what to do with it. There are a number of these Blackmagic design decks in the Stirling Street Shop. This one unboxed and available at a good price. It's a video studio in one with 8 full channels of blending for production work. It's also got a 10-channel audio mixer so this can do live broadcast work to full professional standard. I own vintage HiFi equipment that is far less complex than this and it is interesting to see just how well equipped the back panel is: Also how well designed the portable grips are - that's venting ports under there. It probably has cooling fans as well. I must admit to a flashback when I see the complexity of the symbols on the video section - Nephew Harold on the Red Green Show who had control of the visual effects and constantly swiped, dissolved and whirlpooled the scenes while Red tried to cope with keeping his stick on the ice. One thing - be prepared to bend at the knees when you lift this baby - it's no light weight. Those side grips are there for a purpose.
