Thanks for your response Jeff, I agree it's still a good deal. I just hope we can keep the premium rates the same in future. Not looking forward to an increase. Thx

I think we are mising the point here. Not your business what I voted on! everyone is entitled to an opinion! your opinion is just as valid as mine. The fact is we are paying more money! We could go on attacking each other personally but that is not the point of the topic. thanks

Not arguing with you. Just posting a topic.

Not sure if this topic has ben discussed on this forum but I have to vent - I have been member of IATSE local 695 for the past 7 years. I have paid my quarterly dues on time and have worked hard to accrue my hours to be eligible for my insurance benefits. I recently received a letter from MPI Health Plan stating that as of January 1, 2013, participants will have to pay a premium for their dependents. "For Participants with 1 dependent, the premium is $25 per month, paid quarterly, semi-annually or annually." "For Participants with 2 or more dependents, the premium is $50 per month, paid quarterly, semi-annually or annually." So for someone like me who has two dependents I'm now asked to pay $50 a month (totalling $600/year). I thought the hard work of accruing the hours on union shows was enough to cover my family - apparently not. My biggest fear is that once we are used to paying for our dependents, the premiums are eventually going to be raised in the future. This is not what I was expecting when I joined the union and paid my expensive initiation fee along with my quarterly dues and accruing hours for benefits. Not sure how this deal benefits any of our members! Somene please tell me if I read this letter incorrectly.

Thanks for the info!

No time code bleed at all. This was only for transcription. Main audio went directly to camera.

I recently did a shoot where I recorded one track on to a Zoom recorder as time code.I went TC out of the camera and into the mini input of the Zoom. So when you played back the track, it had the sound of time code. Does anyone know how post production is able to decode that? Just wanted to know how that works? Thx

Great Photo!

Interested in buying one. Has anyone used it on a shoot? Will it replace a 788 because of its lower price?
