This was a quick one, no particular commentary about it, I just wanted to follow up the trip video by showing some of the stuff I got actually working (and tempt more people into signing up for patreon, heh.) Next video should have a bit more meat on it. Thanks everyone!

So… The Chinon ES3000 - (I posted this as a YT comment, but I figure it's more likely to get noticed here.) It appears to take the early style of PCMCIA flash memory called "linear flash", as opposed to the later/far-more-common "ATA flash". Linear flash was essentially the flash media being presented to the controller as raw flash chips, as opposed to ATA flash, which was literally the ATA (IDE) signaling over the PCMCIA connector. Apple Newtons likewise used linear flash (or "power needed" cards like DRAM or SRAM,) so Newton-branded cards should work fine in it. (In fact, I see an ES3000 for sale as "working" on eBay with two Newton cards supplied.) I have a spare Intel branded linear flash card (that I used with my Newton) I'd be willing to send you. (Or if you find yourself in Portland any time soon, could just hand over over coffee/tea/whatever.)

So, the first website I looked this up on said that it used to proprietary card, and then I looked up the Kodak DC50 which ostensibly uses plane ATA flash. So I'm curious, do you actually have a source that confirms it uses linear? At any rate, I need a linear flash card anyway, since it's something I've been meaning to get a hold of for some time, so I would be interested in that. I'm not going to be down to Portland anytime soon but if you want to drop it in the mail lmk and I'll send my address

The moment I saw that black Thermodyne case, I almost shrieked with delight! I’ve heard you offhandedly mention Steadicam before, but I didn’t expect to see one. I’m a Steadicam and Camera operator in NYC, did 6 seasons of Saturday Night Live and currently doing Law and Order. I also teach out at the Steadicam Operators Association workshop. Steadicam truly is magical and is the most interesting thing I’ve ever found myself doing in my life. I’d be happy to get in touch with you to give you pointers or even if we could figure out logistics do some teaching or demoing. Hell, if you ever find yourself out on this coast I’d be happy to let you fly my “big rig” with an Alexa on it! My name is Tom Wills, if you’d like to look up my credentials, or get in touch. (I’m relatively easy to find online)
