@tuneturkey sorry for not responding sooner. I don’t have any advise as far as extension barrels are concerned. But there are some other posts about that. Heres one with a picture:
As for the shutter speed, this is totally dependent a few factors:
- Distance of camera from film
- Speed of film
- Light source brightness
The flash duration can be controlled by the microcontroller in the Kinograph setup. In some versions, people just leave it on since it doesn’t get that hot. In other words, the flash is not as much a factor as the others listed below.
Basically you would just do some experimentation to find what settings work. If you need more technical details, you could look at the specifications of your camera’s imaging sensor and find out what distance/time relationship will result in pixel blur when photographing a moving object.
