It’s a solid upgrade! Agreed, $500 is so much for software and a cable lol But it’s not bad when you consider the Arri EFV is around $10k! Should help keep the Mini “mini”

@@MylesShank Yeah it should be more like $200 if you can't go into the camera menu properly. The CCM-1 is so so nice as it has access to everything in the camera, but obviously very expensive and specific to the MILF/A35. I've really been eyeing up an Ultra 5 w/ camera control for the Mini LF to do small builds with a battery belt etc. The MVF-2 is pretty heavy for this sort of thing, but is so integral to how the camera is controlled.

@@tjh__ the brightness on the CCM-1 is about half the brightness of the Ultra and Ultrabright monitors too which is a bummer. If it were cheaper, I would probably consider it. The Ultra 5 with control is so nice. I‘ll eventually pickup an Ultra 5 but for one-man op scenarios, the 7” screen is nice for grabbing focus when I don’t have an AC.

Interview was shot on 50mm Lomo Round Front Anamorphic 2x

Glad you liked it! Spot link is in the video description

Thanks! More on the way for sure.

Glad you found it helpful!

Thanks Cory!

Thanks! I don’t train operators but you can checkout Tiffen Steadicam Workshops for training.

Glad to hear it! Best wishes!

Thanks Anthony!

That’s a good question. I’m not sure about the HDMI in/out but the SDI in/out is very reliable. Maybe someone else can answer this or check on B&H’s website Q & As

@@MylesShank Thanks Myles, I'll try to do some documentation. Can't afford the touch for now so as long as it can output applied Lut and any effects then I'm good.

Most likely, yes!

Yes, I still use the 702 Touch on my steadicam but I’ve been using the 503 Ultrabright more on my camera.

Glad you found it useful. I made it because I also couldn’t find much out there. The op on the most recent Godzilla movie sent me a bts photo of him using it and the slingshot with a massive Panavision build which really made me realize how versatile it is.

@@MylesShank That's great to hear! hope to see them on set more. Most of the DPs I work with hate the Easyrig, it's just the lingua franca for handheld right now.

Steadicam FPV!

Thanks! I hope it’s insightful for a lot of crew members!

Thanks man! I was talking to Evan Luzi and I’m planning on filming an AC’s intro to working with Steadicam very soon.

They’re all great spherical lenses. The FD’s for sure have a soft and flarey look to them but the S4 mini’s have a nice subtle flare too

Haha Hey bro! Glad to help. The 7” Touch is great. Highly recommend.

Ah, great to hear! I do need to make more videos on this channel. I’ve been thinking about digging into some BTS photos and videos after projects have released so that’s a great idea.

I never trust the color on a SmallHD monitor. I have a Flanders DM240 when we need a truly color accurate monitor but the SmallHD monitors are nice when shooting ArriRaw or R3D as you can tweak color in post. I have a friend who calibrates his SmallHD monitors so that they’re about as good as SmallHD can be but yes, they’re never quite perfect.
