The Hyper 35 ENG camera is a Hybrid of the Canon 5DMKII adapted to the versatility of a Sony Betacam body with video monitoring, viewfinder and sound recording features.

Electricfilms are offering conversions for your Sony camcorder and have several cameras in stock ready for conversion.

The Hyper 35 Conversion details

The Canon 5DMKII attaches to a custom made bracket and is quick released attached to the front of a Sony camcorder. (not show in previous photos or videos) You then plug in the 5D and you are shooting. The 5D can be quick released from the cradle easily and the leads into the camera body are protected by a custom made frame.

All camera controls are accessible. The electronic 1.5" B&W viewfinder is easy to focus thanks to the electronic peaking circuits which is a bonus with the shallow depth of field of 35mm. The Hyper 35 ENG camera is lightweight and balances nicely on the shoulder or tripod.

Monitoring

The Director's monitor can also be installed on the operator's side if going without the audio recorder. We also supply a very high quality Marshal LCD outdoor monitor.

Sound

The integrated Beachtec pre-amp sends a 15kz tone into channel 1 (filter out in post) which steadies the auto gain in the Canon for this channel as well as channel 2.

Monitoring

Go without leads with the 5.8ghz SD transmitter or plug in a HDMI or video lead into the Hyper 3. We also have a good value 24" HDMI/SD monitor enclosed in a carry frame that also attaches to a light stand.

Power

Go with the original NP1 batteries or have a V lock installed.
