Correction. The lens adapter I use and recommend is actually the 0.71x which you can find here: bhpho.to/2Ft8A7P NOT the 0.64x like I say in the video. Confusion on my end resulted in the mistake. Sorry! I don't want anyone to get the wrong one. Yes the 0.71x is the one I use in most of the shots in this video and it works great but it does vignette slightly with some APSC lenses. Still it works. The 0.64x will ONLY work with full frame lenses.
@nordfresse5 жыл бұрын
Strange that you dont mention the much much much cheaper Viltrox ef-m2 instead of the Metabones, since you are always so budget friendly.... It gets very good review everywhere. Oh and if an adapter vignettes with SOME apsc lenses, its likely the lenses fault. I would go for fullframe lenses anyway, since you then always stay in the centre of the image circle, which is always the sweet spot, even on cheaper lenses.

I'm a dinosaur from the Canon EOS 5D MK2 and MK4 era.. this is my first venture into a dedicated cine camera. Truly looking forward to the learning experience - this pushes me out farther on the learning curve. Many thanks. Cheers, mate!

This is a weird and self centered comment but I had a strange sensation when the video showed that small town. I immediately knew it was Jim Thorpe, PA. even though I've only been there once and that was about 12 years ago. Nevertheless, I had zero doubt it was that town. I googled Hotel Switzerland (which I don't recall seeing when I was there) and that confirmed it. Memories are strange things. That's all; sorry for the diversion. Oh and great video. Thanks.

I don't want to add a bunch of accessories to make it work. Also having the option to shoot to ssd is great, but numerous people say it works sporadically. I may still buy it to try it, but I have a feeling it will get returned.

1- Nope because the cable is very thin and flexible. Also the gimbal is very strong. 2- It's a generic friction arm I got on Amazon. I recently purchased a much better arm from SmallRig that I will show in a future video. The new one is a lot more sturdy.

Hi, I'm Bainson from Ghana. Huge fan of your videos. Please I noticed some smudges on my bmpcc4k camera sensor glass that won't come off no matter the cleaning method used. It looks stuck on the glass. I first noticed it during a shoot last month when I was shooting at a fstop of 5 or higher. There will be some black spots all over the image, but when I shoot at f-stops 4 down to 1.8, it doesn't show. I initially thought it was the lens, but on advise of a friend, we checked out the sensor and realised the issue was actually on the glass in front of the sensor. I don't know what to do about it now. I'm going to email you images of what it looks like. Any recommendations please?
