Nice! Just be aware that superglue fumes can make lens coatings foggy so keep the optical parts away while it dries.

Would be really cool if you did a dive-in on what scene file setting you’re using. A lot of filmers gate keep on the subject and us underdogs could use more tricks and tips

Im using this setup since I’ve watched this video and im just loving it. Got the ring crafted by a steelworker friend of mine. You can get super close, and I don’t recrop on the editing, so the rendered is different than the vx but I just like it that way

Sick tutorial! I still personally believe the MK2/Opteka is the best combo for 4x3 HD on the HPX/HMC. But that's my opinion dawggg

Does anyone have an idea how to use an mk2 for the hvx200 with bayonet for the hpx which needs an screw thread? Is the method in the video possible or is there even a better one?

@mikecrook 3 жыл бұрын

This is great to see, do wish there was a comparison with a hvx extreme aswell just for distortion wise. Or using a distortion map to see what the difference is. Other thing couldn’t you just thread a step ring from the lens case itself (bayonet is on by threads) this would save a ton of time and money no?

@skuselbud 3 жыл бұрын

Thats a nice hack but i think it is not the best solution because you have to go as close as possible to the front glass of the hpx. Sadly i do not own a mk1 but i have a mk2 for the conon gl2. I mesured the bayo from the lenshood from the hpx and did a construction for a bayoring between the hpx and the mk2. The mk2 is clamped with a nut and a srew in the new bayoring. Depending on the construnction you can come very close to the front glas of the hpx and get les vig. After that I 3d printed the new bayoring. I think the distance between the back of the mk2 and the front glas is now round about 0.3mm

@xname97 3 жыл бұрын

I don't think you got much choice... Xtreme is made for the 16:9 aspect ratio I don't think you'll ever find anything similar to it. If you want a cheap fisheye just get an Opteka

@matthewjankowski2644 2 жыл бұрын

16x9 inc 0.45 fisheye comes close for alot cheaper

@tomstamets Жыл бұрын

you can zoom into 14 on an opteka and it’s extremely similar to an xtreme, im gonna get a mk1 eventually and try it with that

@alwaysthinkfast 3 жыл бұрын

we all love the vx/mk1 but honestly ive been loving how a lot of people are finding new and more unique rigs. although i respect wanting to keep this look alive, i just think the vx1k served its time... the whole tapeless thing, the whole mk1 on an hpx, etc. just move on and be creative with a new look. I know ill get mad hate for this comment but whatever.

Vx is timeless and always will be superior for skate films. You're probably a kid who's never held a vx. Agreed that recreating that look is lame.

@@jamiepippin3892 im 26 and have had my fair share of minidv cameras including the vx1k. no doubt that camera is superior in the skate industry - im surprised its survived this long and its sad to see the mk1 get discontinued, tapes harder to get, etc. but i just think with some imagination - everyone can stand out a bit more with finding new rigs and lenses to mess with. ive been filming/exploring with multiple 4:3 HD rigs lately and they all come out fantastic. hell even if you want a minidv cam, just go for another like a trv, vx2 (can look sick if you tweak it a bit), or any others. theres so much to be discovered!

VX1000's are practically collectors items now. Is it too much to ask for a cheap alternative that isn't doo doo? I'm being specific there because, cheap VX1000 alternatives already exist but, a Nokia phone from the early 2000's has a much better camera.
