Trailer for the short I'm just finishing. Shot with a 2 man crew: My DP and myself.

W Why thank you. here's the full version. PW: festival

I was itching to make another short film about 2 months ago, but I'm not much of a writer. Then I found "Script Revolution". A webiste where you can get free scripts offered by the writers. I'm glad I found this website. I found a great little 3 page script by writer Robert Bruinewoud. As luck would have it, I found out about the Rode Reel contest, "Make a short film 3. minutes or shorter" right after that. Mine ended up being 4 1/2 mins. So I made a cutdown version. I'll be releasing the longer version to film festivals around the world. Shot on the BMPCC 4k using voigtlander primes, Kowa and Moller 16 Amamorphic scopes. Check it out if you want to. Vote if you like it. https://myrodereel.com/watch/12720

Just wanted to say, not only is the continued software development and adding of features amazing, but customer service is topnotch as well.

Here's a nice little R1 mount I made with an inexpensive smallrig ballmount.

Can't wait. 🙂

Ah, I didn't realize that the "B" button mentioned was the one on the sensor, not the controller. Maybe change the name to buttons "1" and "2" on the AFX. Mark

Try as I might, I cannot get the quad control to work. How do you get it into that mode? I've read the manual, and no idea. I am using it with the BMPCC 4k and the Tilta focus motor. I can program the points. But when pressing the ABCD buttons, nothing happens. Except for C and D, which continue to change the ISO.

Just picked up a 75mm f1.8 Heliar, and the 28mm Ultron F2 Version 2. Which will be arriving today.

Tons of options. Depends on what you want to spend nd how wide you want to go. I have the moller 32 2x, Kowa 8z and a Bell and Howell single focus scope for blue flares.

Another question. Are there other controllers compatible to the R1 that are ergonomically might work better.

Is there a world where one could use the controller to fine tune focus after startup, and that offset be maintained until turning off.

Yes.

Loving the AFX so far. Can you get the setting for having it upside down, and the offset be made permanent?

Replaced all the cables of the AFX with my own. I also found the USB power connector to be loose. Prone to losing power. So I made a little support mount that slips over the power connector and AFX control plug that keeps it firmly in place.

Well, aren't we a big sandwich of bitterness.

I had someone who tried to scam me as well Sold him a $950 Radeon VII video card. 2 months later he messages me, says it doesn't work. I said, you've had it 2 month, and now it doesn't work? He said he didn't get around to trying it out until now. BS I said. Long story short. We went through the whole scenario of me refusing the return, him filing a refund with Ebay and Paypal. Paypal sided with him, and I received a negative balance in my paypal account that they demanded I pay. I messaged Paypal, told them that they have now become the owner of a Radeon VII card. And I will never pay the balance on the account even if they try and take it to collections. And since there are now several other online payment options available I would never use them again. Now, given that I've spent a lot of money through Paypal, I guess they decide to eat it. They rolled back the negative balance. However I'll never sell anything expensive on Ebay again. Especially now that everything will be going through them, including payments..

Tito just did a video where he compared them to much more expensive ones, and he said it' very good.

Picked up the shorter braided cable with a right angle. And a straight 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter. Makes for a much tighter setup.

I also found this one. 3.5mm on one side, 2.5 on the other https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00FHBWQ2W/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_K7MQ1WYSWDX6V4BCKK52

I'm good with knowing the style. For US users I found this one. Right angle on one side, so it will sit more flush on the AFX itself. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01K3WY7HG/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_3KGAE08TN045C11W6HV2

Can you suggest a much shorter length cable option for the Tilta controller cable?

Fixed it. It was the helicoid not being assembled correctly. I had to disassemble the entire lens and Re-insert the helicoid at a different start position. Took a couple of frustrating hours of trial and error. But now it's tack sharp. And I saved myself $250

I have one. They're awesome lenses
