Attachment J-3 – Questions & Answers

1. Tripods, what are you looking for? Do you have a brand and model in mind, or a basic requirement?

• Currently, our existing FX6 camera kits use a Vinten System Vision blue3 Head with Flowtech 75 Carbon Fiber Tripod, Mid-Level Spreader, and Rubber Feet and it works well for us.

2. Cases for the cameras and lenses, what are you looking for? Hard shell plastic cases (like a Gator case), or something that is airline approved (ATA) or a soft case (Portabrace maybe?)? For the lenses, I see you are asking for 2 cases, do you have an idea of what lenses you want in each case? Same question as to type of case.

• Currently, our existing FX6 cameras use a Porta-Brace Traveler-Style soft Carrying Case, and it works well for us. For lenses, we currently use Pelican 1535Air Wheeled Carry-On Hard Cases with TrekPak Divider Inserts and they work well for us.

3. I noticed you did not request media card readers or v-mount batteries, and chargers.

Would you like to add these items to your quote? If so which items, and quantity?

• Correct, we did not request any of these items as we have existing inventory

4. The tripod that best fit your description was the Sachtler 8T aktiv. Saying that, vertical tilt is +90° to -70°, not the requested -90 to +90 degrees. I could not locate a head with that capability that would fit on a flowtec 75mm bowl head. None the less, it’s a great tripod and fits your other descriptions.

• Currently, our existing FX6 camera kits use a Vinten System Vision blue3 Head with Flowtech 75 Carbon Fiber Tripod, Mid-Level Spreader, and Rubber Feet and it works well for us.

5. For “C.3.4 Camera Lens – 200-600mm Two (2) Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lenses. Each lens must include a support plate, rods, and any external servos need to control Zoom and Focus with the Sony FX6 cameras listed in C.3.1.” This is a photo lens and does not need any of the parts.

• It is our understanding that an external servo drive motor is required for the FX6 to control the optics of this lens. Our research has identified a Chrosziel Zoomer Universal Servo Drive Motor as a potential solution, which would also require corresponding rods and plates.

6. There was also a v-mount ac adapter charger that was requested. That item I could not find, but you can power the Burano with a 4-pin xlr cable to AC. I added the item to your quote.

• Currently, we use a Sony ACD-N10A AC Adapter/Charger with other similar cameras, and it works well for us.

7. I’m working on this request and have a question on these items:

Prime Lens - 35mm Prime Lens -65mm Do you have a particular brand in mind? [Zeiss or Tokina ]

• Currently, we use Sigma Cine Lenses (with E mount) and they work well for us.

8. 1 extra battery per camera?

• Not necessary as we have existing spare inventory

Which model mic –there are several options and prices

• Currently, our existing FX6 cameras have a Sony ECM-VG1 Short Shotgun

Microphone and it works well for us.

9. The BLUE 3 tripod you mention on the responses only has a load capacity of 6.6 to 14lb?

I think you need BLUE 5 Load Capacity 12.1 to 26.5 Pounds

- For the FX6 cameras, we meant a Blue3. The offeror can quote a Blue5 which is still compatible. I think the offeror may be thinking of the Blue5 for the Burano camera which has a little more weight than the FX6’s.
