Codex recorder placement on GPI Pro sled with Alexa camera
15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- When using anamorphic prime lenses with an Alexa camera on a GPI Pro sled, mounting the Codex recorder on the lower battery rack reduces post height and lowers gimbal position by approximately two inches compared to a film camera setup.
- Teradek Cube wifi encoder was tested in this context and noted as interesting.
Depends on
- Setup was specific to anamorphic prime lenses.
- The two-inch change in height and gimbal position is relative to prior film camera configurations.
- Experience is based on one operator's testing on a single rig.
- Latency performance of the Teradek Cube was mentioned as a question but not answered in this thread.
