I'm pretty stoked about this camera build especially since I mostly do solo filmmaking. What are your thoughts?

Your gimbal switch up really got my wheels going in how I can make something similar! Thanks for the breakdown!

Probably you've already figured it out, I mean, I'm watching this video some months later, but the detachable thing from the kondor blue handle allows you to put a hard disk in there, which is actually pretty good for S5IIX

Cool setup looks very compact and lightweight. I'm waiting for the Dulens review :) . great price for a set. I hope you also can say a few words about them compared to the Sirui FF anamorphic set

@DustinArmstrongPro 10 ай бұрын

Thanks! I agree though pricing is very reasonable for them. I can definitely mention the SIRUI Venus set. I own the 50mm

Dustin bro, if you find that Miniprime being tight fit on some adapters, I can do a extra thinner PL mount(some custom cut😬), I am also thinking about Dulens HK rental care service for our user that rent our their lens a lots, stay tuned!

@DustinArmstrongPro 7 ай бұрын

That would be great actually if you could make a bit thinner one so I can fit it on my Sigma adapter! I can email you pictures of the exact piece. I bet a lot of people with the same adapter in the Lumix community would appreciate it! That's also great as well as far as rentals go. I'm going to be doing another video on the lens kit when I get the 21mm and could talk about all these things as well

@williamtowner1024 10 ай бұрын

Dustin, great video and I like this set up with the Dulens. On the Dulens, the Primes have odd ball sizing's (43mm, 31mm) do you notice a difference with these vs a standard size like 35mm, etc? Also, what about a microphone set up on this rig? Attached vs Wireless setup? Anyway, thank you for this one. I look forward to maybe a deeper review of the Dulens lenses and how they perform. Peace.

@DustinArmstrongPro 10 ай бұрын

Thanks! I thought that before buying that the focal lengths were kind of odd. But after using them the odd focal lengths feel kind of refreshing from the standard 24mm, 35mm, 50mm which are probably comparable focal lengths. Biggest complaint is that 31mm is the widest, but they have plans to make a wider length sometime next year I believe that I will definitely be adding to the setup. Glad you mentioned that I hadn't really thought of it lol. Most of the time I'm mainly shooting BRoll so audio I didn't really think about. But there's a couple options. There's a cold shoe on the cage and I would just plug into the mic jack on the camera. The other option is I could put the Kondor Blue handle on the Nato rail on the side of the cage and turn it into a side handle and still have the monitor attached then use the Panasonic XLR 1 on the top to plug in via XLR. I could go wireless or mount the mic on the cold shoe on the top of the XLR 1. I'll have to do a follow up in another video (maybe in my Dulens review) showing this. I'm excited as well for the Dulens video. Not really many videos out there about them. That should also come closer to the end of this month.

Thanks for the reply@@DustinArmstrongPro on the odd Dulens sizing. Saving my $$ to get at lest one to start. I look forward to that Dulens review too. You do a great job of breaking down the setups for your use and the Pros vs Cons. I have learned a lot over the last 2 years watching your channel and I appreciate the time you take answering the follow up questions. Also, look forward to any video you do using DaVinci Resolve and how you edit with it. Again, thank you.

@DustinArmstrongPro 10 ай бұрын

No problem. Appreciate it you watching my content! I started with the 43mm. That was the test footage you saw in this video. I fell in love instantly lol. I'll likely do a Davinci Resolve video. Might be later this year though

@alihammad6318 10 ай бұрын

Hey Dustin, nice video! Regarding the size - I think you could slim it down way more for RAW shooting. I have an ultra compact setup I showcase on my video and it's so small and light I can clip it to my Peak Design Capture clip and walk around like that. Otherwise very functional setup!

I'll have to take a look!

@alihammad6318 10 ай бұрын

@@DustinArmstrongPro would love to hear what kind of battery life you get powering the Video assist and the camera off the V mount! Considering getting one myself, the NP-F750 batteries give me almost exactly 2 hours on the monitor and the internal camera battery gives me 2 hours as well.

@andyz_w3584 10 ай бұрын

Great vedio Dustin! to be honest, I've never heard about this brand until watched your videos, and found their concept is pretty good though: apo and vintage. do you know who's the team behind this brand?

@DustinArmstrongPro 10 ай бұрын

I don't know the team, but planning on doing a more in depth video on the lenses themselves very soon!

Why didn't you go for the Falcam S5IIX Cage 3401 with built in NATO rail? And many quick release accessories.

90% of the time I'm only shooting b-roll/stock footage type video and don't need audio.
