@rizzo-films 11 ай бұрын

This is low-key revolutionary. As indie filmmakers and content creators, we're either trying to make our tiny cameras look beefier with a cinema rig or larger cameras more compact with minimal accessories. This is taking a different direction, with a tiny camera and a tiny rig 😂. It's cute, does everything a larger rig does, but you can actually use it when travelling or if you really need to shoot a film in stealth mode. The bigger your setup, the bigger the reaction you get from people when you bust it out. You don't always want the attention. I never want it tbh.

Great video man. That is one cool battery dock too. I believe the Sigma fp is the best "sleeper" camera on the market today. Agreed that it is a small 12bit DNG , BM RAW, ProRes RAW, and superb still image camera that just works. I also strip it down and use it as a light weight FF travel camera with native Sigma L-mount F2 lenses.

Nice!! I have an alternate workflow to reduce size and maintain raw capability: buy the slimraw plugin! I use it to offload footage from my sd card to convert bmpcc (og) dng into compressed raw up to 7:1. Resolve handles them perfectly similar to braw. Transcoding them is almost the same speed as copying them. Slimraw also supports sigmafp footage. Cannot recommended them enough
