Man, I just bought one and the image looks awful. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or is the compression just terrible?

@itmeremy 7 сағат бұрын
@BillAshtonNelo compression will always be an issue with wireless systems. If you have a Pyro S and the image doesn't look good, maybe make sure you're in HD mode, unless you care about latency more, but it sounds like you don't. Higher end systems will of course be way better but a Pyro S and Terdek Bolt are so different, don't even get me started on the price

Forgot to mention if you try put a Nato top handle on the top for Tilta, you can't. Because firstly the Tilta logo is in the way and even if you reverse the handle it still won't stay on tight because of the cold shoe being in the way.

@itmeremy 9 сағат бұрын
@Sky_633 not what I've found with the handles I have. It was a point I was going to bring up because the Tilta handle I have doesn't fit on the Smallrig low profile NATO rails, but the Smallrig NATO handles that I have work fine on the Tilta plate. I think it very much depends on the handle since for some reason there's some variation in the NATO mount

I will say, pro features are worth it IF you’re planning on competing in the pro space. If you’re a hobbyist or you’re just a freshman in film school and you just need a camera, then all good. Get ur bmpcc4k, fx30, etc. that’s fine. But if you genuinely want to compete in the pro space then yes these things start to become important. Timecode for example, is just something that’s necessary and when people show up with their fx3 or gh5 and there’s no standard timecode port (bnc or 5 pin lemo) then you’re risking not being jammed to sound and post being mighty pissed. That can be the cost of a rehire. Yes the fx30 has that usb dongle and if ur an fx user buy that because ur sound person isn’t gunna own a camera accessory, but if u just have no timecode ports, then ur SOL. Same with SDI. U need to support video village. U need that high quality low latency SDI connection. Other people’s jobs can’t be done unless you show them the feed. And that’s what pro features really are at the end of the day. They’re not about image quality. They’re features that optimizes your camera to be able to support a film crew. So you don’t “need” pro features for a good image. But you do need them if you plan to be working in a set environment with other professionals.

I've been on the fence about this for a little while now. I've always been drawn to the look and simplicity of using a handheld set up but I have really unstable hands personally, so gimbals always felt like the solution.. after a little test with a gimbal at the shop, it just feels like for my shooting purposes building a hand held set up will be more efficient.

@ChinaUndiscovered that makes sense. Using a gimbal is also it's own skill, and of course has it's own look. I don't like setting up gimbals and I much prefer using a handheld rig over gimbals as well. As long as you can handle the weight, a solid handheld rig I think is much more versatile too

@@itmeremy generally speaking the weight isn't a major issue. though after long hours, I could see how it is inconvenient. would you still say handheld rigs provide a decent amount of stabilization? natural movement and such is fine but I certainly don't want every shot to look like a chase scene in a horror film.
@itmeremy

Love this! My only complaints with the small rig cage which do really I love, are that the HDMI cable clamp isn’t always aligned correctly, and mine pushes the HDMI cable upward before it is tightened all the way and it worries me that it will put to much upward pressure which is really annoying. I wish it had a height adjuster. Second is in that same side, I’d love if it extended forward a bit more and had more 1/4-20 holes so that even if you had the hdmi clamp on, you could still attach side handles etc on the upper side of the cage instead of having to lower the mount piece on my Falcam handle where it gets in the way of my pinky when running hdmi. Everything else is amazing about the small rig cage. Because of this though, the newer 8Sinn cage looks kind of appealing and I’d love to get my hands on it to test the more box cage style to see how I like it.

Mine just came in the mail today and I went to test it out, and I noticed some strong vignetting in the corners. Seemed to be the 1/4 mist because when I took it off I didn’t see anymore. Have you experienced this as well? And if so is there anyway to avoid it?
@itmeremy

@anthonysosa6792 that can happen on wide lenses when you stack multiple filters. The further out the filters are from the lens, and the wider the FOV of the lens, the more likely you are to see some vignetting. There's not really any way to avoid it apart from not stacking all the filters, or not shooting on such wide lenses.

Would you recommend the SmallRig Star-Trail Lightweight Matte Box if I'm using a 24-70 mm lens? I've read some reviews suggesting that it might be too heavy for handheld shooting and could potentially damage the lenses. I'm considering whether it might be better to invest in a high-quality 2-in-1 ND filter instead. I’d appreciate your thoughts on this.

@domenicavalencia3815 I've never used it so I can't really recommend for or against it. It doesn't appear to be particularly heavy though, but you can get it with a support that attaches to rods so if the weight is an issue and you have rods on your rig, you should be fine. If you're going for a much smaller rig, maybe a simple filter might be better than a mattebox
