ARRI Trinity with Joe Lindsay

We will interview Alex’s brother Joe Lindsay, a steady cam operator. Joe will be discussing his mastery of the ARRI Trinity hybrid camera stabilizer and how this unique tool is used to enhance film production.
00:00 Start
01:29:49 *** ARRI Trinity ***
01:36:04 How and when do you train the wide variety of shots possible? In advance or on-site before the shooting?
01:38:28 Hey Joe! When operating do you have in your mind the light direction and proximity so you shadow doesn’t become visable?
01:40:33 Do live/broadcast events ever use Trinity operators or is it mostly for dramatic work?
01:41:03 Do the physical demands of operating a Stedicam place a time limit on the length of your career, analogous to the career time of a Major League Baseball pitcher?
01:43:01 I just got a Ronin-SC and I'm a rookie. What are the biggest mistakes you see folks do? The ones that make you cringe. What are the top tips for us newbies? Thanks
01:46:28 How weatherproof is this setup?
01:48:14 What is the response time like between movement and compensation?
01:50:14 On set, do you have additional help to setup/manage your rig? Or is it just you and the ACs?
01:51:51 Given the global scope of the industry, I'm curious how many professionals are at your level using the Trinity internationally. I did some work in China and knew a Trinity operator named Junior Lucano. Is it a small community?
01:54:00 Have you ever met or done training with Trinitys inventor, Curt Schaller?
01:56:07 The operator's monitor seems quite small and far from the eyes and also moves up and down with the movement. Is this an issue? Are others looking at the live framed image at the same time as the operator?
01:58:46 If you had to pick ONE shot that you WISHED was your work, whats your favorite steadicam shot you look up to?
02:00:31 How do you usually transport the Trinity? Do you check it as luggage or ship it airfreight? Have you ever had problems with airport security?

00:05:16 The new Shure MVX2U XLR to usb-c microphone converter has up to +60dB gain to amplify signals for microphones such as the SM7B. Wonder how these types of mics would sound when hooked up usb? Shure MV7 only has 36dB gain!
00:08:41 Morning Everyone! For the Wacome One, can the Panel recommend a matte/paperlike feel screen protector? All the ones Ive found have terrible reviews. Thanks.
00:09:41 I know we've talked about the MeLE and other Intel-based mini PCs, but would there be any performance advantage to a Ryzen-based mini PC like one of these? ([link])
00:11:18 When using Broadboard with a Wacom Cintiq for marking up drawings on Zoom. Do you use an Upstream or Downstream Key on an ATEM? Computer 1 is running the ATEM | 2 is running Broadboard | 3 is running the drawing software.
00:13:38 Two brands have already suspended advertising on X when their ads ran on an account promoting extremist views. With brand safety under threat, do you think X has a future as a platform?
00:21:57 Is there a way to make a portable Bluetooth speaker act as a PA? (utilizing a phone for the microphone) Not for production, but for a 4-H group activity so simplicity and cost is a factor.
00:25:21 I've heard some people complain that they don't like Dolby Vision because it makes their TV look too dark. I have calibrated my TV and only watch in complete darkness and some content can look a little dark. Have we gone too far with dynamic range?
00:30:01 I'm producing a live event with landscape and portrait or vertical orientation using ReStream. Is there any other platform which will ReStream to Instagram and TikTok at the same time for a vertical orientation?
00:31:00 Is Nearline as a term for the storage of media files useful? Online is immediately accessible. Offline/Archive is not immediately accessible or in storage. What is the modern version of Nearline? - [link]
00:34:44 My wife was at a conference where they used CatchBox as a passable mic. It was compelling and usable, and it seems it supports Dante, but is it a quality system? [link]
00:37:33 I'm showing up with red skin tones in Zoom. Cameras are auto white balancing, and I've tried various color temps from the lights. Any recommended troubleshooting tips for getting lighting right?
00:43:10 With the availability of distributors like DistroKid, do you think traditional legacy music labels still have their place?
00:47:11 As part of your live production kit, do you feel comfortable with command line tools, like FFmpeg, or do you prefer graphical tools, like vMix?
00:48:29 What’s the best method to move data from an old Mac to a new one?
00:53:14 Are there good used servers to be found on "eBay" because businesses change them out every couple of years? This would be for archiving and not for online access so the latest greatest speed is not important.
00:55:34 Yesterday we discussed the Descript Town Hall on OH. Round 2 is today 11 am PT What to expect? Will you watch? [link]
00:57:26 Getting things in order is always a thing. How do you get all your tiny bits and pieces sorted in some system of boxes? I look for a system that allows me to take the complete box with me compared to packing things for each event.
