I've used Jon's kit and it has done 3 cameras so far, and I have plenty of material left. Some cameras can't use yarn, as the light baffles are sometimes much wider than even the widest yarn (try doing a Canon Demi with yarn). As for cine cameras, the professional ones are serviced frequently, and it would be better to have something that can be changed in/out without a great deal of effort, so yarn or felt would be a better choice. OEM foam was intended as a maintenance-free product, and it worked until it breaks down, which seems to take 20+ years, if my cameras are anything to go by. I hope Jon can stop by and answer some of this, it seems that there's a lot of misinformation floating about. |
