Thanks Ed! Yes, I’ve heard great things about the BT shoulder rig. Yeah about my monitor… I need to buy a better magic arm haha, but I do like mine to be sitting a bit lower so that I can keep my eyes on the talent as well. :)

Thank youuu

Awesome!

That’s a good idea! I’ll try it out :)

So happy to hear that! I noticed the same thing when I was trying to figure out how to set up mine and taught to myself that I should actually document it. :)

Glad I could help! 😁

Thanks for subbing!

Ey that’s awesome! Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely think about getting some gloves :)

Oh wow, first time hearing about it. Just googled it and it looks really cool - I’ve never seen such slim follow focus, how are you finding it so far?

Have only used a few times but it’s very good - the motor is slim too but also has lidar auto focus sensor inbuilt which you can switch between which actually works really well

Haha thanks!

@@lostinayaland 🥰 have nice day!

That might be interesting 😀

Tilta Nano II is much superior to Smallrig. The Smallrig shifts the focus throw after a while. The focus ring gets detached too easily. It's total crap for me, not a serious product. One of the companies where I work bought a bunch of them and they were a very bad investment. Avoid it! Besides, the Tilta has also two axis control, you can pair two motors and use them for a zoom too, with the little rocker it has. Not at broadcast level, but you can achieve decently smooth zooms. And you can use the Tilta N handwheel with M motors, which are much more sturdy than these motors that use the crap usb-c connectors that are super fragile. It's still hard to believe that in 2024 manufacturers still make focus motors powered with usb-c, when there are so cheap Lemo chinese copies available, super strong and reliable.

@@nicolapaoli4561 thanks for your input but I’m sure we’d all agree SEEING is a lot better than “trust me bro “ Also a few statements which further add to the doubt in your opinion : - as far as I know both can control 2 motors. That’s not a feature unique to Tilta - both option we’re comparing here use usb c although the small rig has the wireless option albeit the bulky NPF - we’re not comparing the outdated M If someone makes statement like “it’s total crap for me, not a serious product “ then show us why and how the tilta fixes those issues . Not it’s made in china . Literally everything is made in china especially Tilta

​@@Tusa_Mamba ​ seeing? You know how many youtubers publish videos "reviewing" products they received for free from sponsors, who have the last words of what should be said in the video?? Somehow those products are always gold even when they are crap. I wonder why ahah. Not saying in any way that this channel is doing this of course, I just recently discovered this creator and I liked the content so far. I would actually be happy to listen to the experience of people who bought the units with their own money and used them, to know if they are good or not. I used many times both Smallrig and Tilta N2, and I also own 3 Tilta N original old version, still working great. I am not sponsored, would love to be haha. So let me tell you: -Smallrig can control 2 motors? I guess, if you buy one handle with the little wheel too, together with the main wheel. But the hand wheel that she shows here, only has one wheel, it doesn't control more than one motor. -yes, both have usb-c, and it's not a good thing. And sorry but I don't think it is serious to add a battery to the motor. I did use it like that for quite a while, just because the producer bought the stuff and we had to use it. Very bad investment. Results? After not long time, the np-f smallrig plate wasn't locking anymore and kept falling to the ground (together with the battery). Cheap plastic, bad quality, definitely not professional. How can someone think that attaching a battery directly to the focus motor is a good idea? Plus, adding one more battery that needs to be taken care of is not efficient on a real life production set. Especially if you run multiple cameras setup, you know that the less the number of batteries, the less you risk to forget one and have no juice mid shot. In general, one camera kit should have one battery only, a part in case of special needs. -😂the outdated M?? Have you got any idea of how many high end Hollywood productions still use it on cameras and lenses that cost like a house? How it is outdated exactly? It does more than what the Smallrig does, better, with much better and sturdier connectors, much higher torque motors, its FIZ handwheel can control 3 axis without needing to buy extra parts. The fact that Tilta did it better and sooner than Smallrig doesn't make it outdated. Oh, and it doesn't shift the focus throw as the Smallrig does, which is quite important, for a wireless focus system😅. Just that, is enough to make me say that a focus system is crap, if it can't do reliably enough its job. When in the middle of a long shooting you discover that at the end of the handle turn it doesn't reach the end of the focus limit in the same way it did half an hour before. If this is a focus system... and it's not one faulty unit. We tried with four of them, it's how it is made. It's not an opinion, it is a fact, direct experience.

@@nicolapaoli4561 I’m not going to read all of this but your 1st statement is exactly why I asked Aya for a vs video. There is NO VIDEO ON KZfaq COMPARING THE TWO. It’s all biased individual ones. She makes one she’ll be the 1st and answer everyone’s questions. Win for her . Win for her viewers . That’s what KZfaq is about. Thanks for coming to my class. School has ended ❤️

I do have one! But I still haven’t decided whether I prefer to use it over the knob.

Fair play! By the way I haven’t actually got one but I’ve been looking into it and that’s why I know! Just out of curiosity are you uk based? I’d love to work with ya haha.

@@Francescofilmmaker gotcha! ah appreciate it, I travel to the UK quite often, but I’m currently based in Bulgaria :)

@@lostinayalandim not sure if you refer to the nucleus nano here but tbh the nucleus nano always tries to kill itself on my rig. The clamp that it has is the weakest nato clamp that Iv seen, it gets loose , you can also accidentally push the lever, literally the worst design imo. Im really not a fan of it. Also please dor the love of god try the ifootage magicarms, I use the same setup , you can tighten it with one half rotation , it has a quick release built in on both sides. Just ditch the smallrig .

Yes you can! A friend of mine has his setup like that :)

@@lostinayaland awesome ! Appreciate it, on the smallrig V1 you can’t 😅 so I have only the left side plate on.

Thanks! My Sdi cable is a bit short and sometimes it was hard to set up the proper angle of the monitor. But as far as peaking goes, that’s actually been fine with the small hd indie cine. What monitor do you have?

@@lostinayaland I’m using Andycine a6 II. That obviously might be the case. Do you experience any lag between your external monitor and camera?

@@Magic_Turski might be, I haven’t used that one. And no, I haven’t experienced any lag between the Indie 7’’ and the Red so far. :)

Nope, I haven’t. I’m just testing the Arles rn :)
