Geoff Boyle: Kinefinity Mavo: it fires up pretty quickly but some of the menus are very confusing, separate settings for EI and ISO?? It’s not ready for general consumption yet, they need to get their post workflow sorted. When they do it could be a very good camera. I would rate the camera at EI 800 with a highlight latitude of 4 stops, I’m not sure what the shadow latitude is because of post issues but it looks like it could be very good indeed. Note: I haven’t been able to do a full and good assessment of this camera or the Terra because of the post workflow issues.

Yeah that Mavo LF definitly peaks my interest. But priced over my budget :'( Ill buy one when they are 50% off used.

Great job! How about getting the best cheap audio quality for run and gun situations? For instance making shortfilms with almost no crew.

Well when Nikon and Canon do they will win over a lot of users in a instant. As the colour science is one of the most important aspects, and sony is surely not a competitor on that department. As well as lenses, as a lot of users are using EF glass. Because there are a lot of camera's using the EF camera mount not just canon.

Wow amazing stuff Allthough I rather save up for a single focus anamorphic, as the new ones are hitting the market soon. (atlas orion, samyang) As they have a much better workflow and easier to work with. I dont have to worry the anamorphot falling off. + they will keep a good resale value, I'm pretty sure these anamorphot adapters are gonna drop in price soon when there are more affordable single focus options out there.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but does anybody know any websites geared more towards directing? Thanks!

Good news, Canon will hopefully follow up shortly. And hopefully Magic Lantern will as well ^^(if they do, I hope Canon will use Cfast on their camera, so Magic lantern could do really crazy things with those speeds).

Seems like they are not focussed on the camera (similar performance as other top of the line smartphones). That would be the only reason I would have bought this. Too bad, would have loved a camera that shoots cinematic images that I always have with me.

I read that you could also focus manual lenses with a add-on? But I dont seem to find this addon anywhere or the cost of it? Or did I read it wrong? As I dont use AF lenses.

Hello, I just bought a laowa 12mm lens. but it has no filter thread like most of the wide angle lenses. But I would really like to place an UV filter on it. (gonna shoot some action shots where some stuff could hit the lens, and want to avoid damage to he lens itself). I see that there exist some expensive big filter holders to place on the lens. But I am looking for something cheap if possible? Not sure if that exists honestly. Any idea's? Thanks!

Im guessing Blackmagic is not making a lot of profit on the pocket 4K cameras. I think they just want to take over the market and build their name up to the masses and in the meantime also converting users from Adobe to Resolve.

I used the FS700 on one shoot, I found it to be a horrible experience vs all other options used these days. Would not recommend this camera at all. The LCD is useless, even worse then the canon c series. The menu is soo bad (its a sony after all). The image is not up to the ask either if you ask me(internal).

Haha yeah. I started out wanting to be a director. So my first project looked so bad, that qi said to myself ok I need to learn cinematography first. And so I am learning, not quite there yet. But I feel more capable as a director because now at least I could say, I dont like this because this or shoot it more like this against a dop. I might want to learn acting, writing and audio as well soon.

Dont you miss 1080p 60fps on the 5d iii ml?

Haha yeah I understand your dillema, each year I set out a plan for myself I am going to shoot this and end up postboning it because I keep telling myself I need this new lens for that shot and that new toy for this and that. And honestly I should just shoot. The list is never going to stop at any point.

Yeah as expected. This will not replace even the ronin 2 or the original ronin let alone the movi. Im buying the ronin s next to the original ronin which I still use to fly heavy setups. And the ronin s for some more event type shooting with the pocket.

Well I dont like to do events. But im buying a pocket 4k for events. Because it will match my ump, but the ump on a ronin is really hard work. So im buying a ronin s for the pocket for event shooting. I never used ibis or autofocus, so I dont care about them as im not spoiled by this lazyness haha. Well play with one before you buy one though. As I owned the c100 and the c300, but never really loved working with them(lcd and bulkyness). Now I hear you saying the ump is way bulkier, thats true. But I can use the lcd screen on the ump. Where on the c series you need an external monitor. + the ump packs a lot more punch where I can forgive the bulkyness.

Yeah maybe I am a bit too exited, and it could be a dud like the slr magic anamorphics.

Yeah I shot a shortfilm on the c100 recorded to a blackmagic video assist. And that worked fine, ok the cost is next to nothing and you def can get cinematic video out of it. Aswel as on the c300. But there are for sure better cameras out there at a similar pricepoint. But you can get good results on a lot of cameras as you know whag youre doing. The color science on the c series is its best feature.

Would not be that bad. I would still seriously think about getting one.

Yeah sharpness isnt the issue with the c series.

I have seen similar shots in camera with just a handheld move, just spin the camera on your arm. Not as great as the Lakai video offcourse, which is indeed a phantom camera with a bolt probably.

Nobody did.. was an original c100 reference. Shooting 12stops 1080p 8bit in 2018 is not really what I would call an awesome camera though(try 6 years ago).

When can we expect any news? I am so exited! Im guessing this will be the end of the steep prices of the anamorphic adapters as well if these perform as well. As the complete cost of an anamorphic adapter adds up fast (hardcore dna, redstan clamps, kowa bell and howell, taking lens) + is clunky and hard to use (aligning it, afraid it will drop, not easy to transport,...) I can't wait to get my hands of one of these Samyang anamorphic lenses I might do even some weddings shoots(which I hate) just to get the money fast to buy one of these.

Ha I sold my c100 2 years ago. As I found there were much better options out there. Oh man did I hate that LCD screen and the lack of 60fps. The internal ND is sweet though and the image isnt that bad. Prob still better then the gh5. I owned the 5d iii and the c 100 back then and I shot 90% 5d iii raw, the 5d iii image just blows everything away. I recently bought a 5d iii back again, and boy do I like that image. I do miss 60fps and a faster workflow. Thats why I upgraded to the ursa mini pro. But 1080p vs 1080p 25fps in low dr setting I would prob still prefer the 5d iii raw. If I could get my hands on a anamorphic lens, then it would be a different story, then the UMP would shine it away.
