Hey Chris! Just loved your PP on my ZV1. Was struggling with HLG and SLOGs, and then found your video. Your PP settings gives the best image! Also subscribed to your channel. I have a question tho - You mention in your webcam PP settings for Google meetings as a Cine2 with Pro instead of Still. Why do you use Pro there instead of Still? (In my experience Still gives better results over Pro - also the reason why I love your PP because of the 'Still'). Please help me out with this and hope you get a used ZV1 and continue making videos on your experiments with this beautiful small compact camera. Thx!

Would love to see a human test. That will completely sell it for me

Would this be better than the focus pro lidar? I'm thinking if I get the 18-35 and the 50-100 f1.8s I'm pretty much covered for all video focal lengths with this metabones speedbooster and update. I don't think I would need any other lens than these two plus the speedbooster

Nice vid bro! looks like good autofocus to me... I read about the GH7 and the metabones adapter, no so good autofocus. I guess you just proved the real functionality. Good work! I was trying to choose between the GH7 and another cam at the time when I read this about the poor autofocus, but it seemed I picked the best cam for me in spite of the miss information I read. keep them coming bro.

isnt the Metabones Ultra = 0.71 while the XL (like you mentioned at 00:13 on screen and u said ultra in your audio) is 0.64?

Awesome! Thank you so much for this test, it's giving me hope while I patiently wait for my Metabones to arrive lol. And thanks for proving what I knew would be necessary if I ever wanted to shoot the Sigma wide open to get "the full frame look" in broad daylight: stacked NDs. The Nisi's look amazing! How have you been liking the kit? As soon as I have the cash I'm grabbing one myself, and a second G9 II of course hehe

Do you have a tutorial to update the firmware of the metabones?

yes! a response video! that's what I'm talking about... this is what needs to happen- people get out and test it themselves! haha throwin shade too. good thing i don't take things personally on this platform. great tests man- glad it's working for you. i'm reinstalling the update and gonna give it another shot this week

Great result. what extra adjustments did you do to make it work? I have seen another video where it did not work. I would appreciate you do more tests not only for AF but also lowlight with EF lenses like the 50mm f1.4 or 85mm f1.4. Thanks for the video

İ wonder if it performs the same with viltrox or metabones 0.71 version.

My beautiful cousin ❤

This was the most helpful review I found

Would the results be the same as the Viltrox Speed booster?

Great information. Recently I needed a second camera for a project I was doing, and my main camera is an S5, the original, and so I found a gh5 on ebay for $475 and I grabbed it, and I am astounded at how good the footage looks coming out of that camera. I even bought two cheap micro 4/3 native lenses, a TTartisans 17mm f/1.4 and a Meike 35mm f/1.4 and they both look incredible. Cheap as hell, too. Kind of freaks me out a little bit that the quality is so good. :-) But anyway, the gh5 is an incredibly powerful tool, and so I'm sure the gh7 is all of it too, but like you, I never use autofocus so for me the S5 is an incredible camera and yes, micro 4/3 is alive and well and matches the footage in my s5 just fine when shooting log in both. I also shoot 99% of the time with vintage glass, and I have been able to adapt all of those full frame lenses to the gh5 now as well. Which is pretty cool. I have anamorphic lenses for my s5, but they're L mount so I can't adapt them, but if I'm shooting anamorphic, I just use my S5. Thanks for sharing.

May I know your AF settings please? I've just tried the ver 4.1 update on various lenses and the PDAF indicates it is tracking but doesn't focus. So far I've tried with Sigma 30 f1.4 Art, Canon 50 1.4, Canon 17-55 f2.8 but they all require me to switch to Single AF. Is there any particular order you are mounting the lens to Metabones adaptor to camera?

Lol, I told you the Metabones has autofocus now... I'm about to post my vid for the Micro Studio 4K G2. How do you like the new update?

Is it with gh7?

Please upload more testing! Thanks ! Subscribed

I can confirm what you mentioned in your post, although i used it with a gh7, this type of focusing works great but body / face / eye for me a bit sloppy, still not really reliable but much better than ever.

Is this applicable on the 0.64xl :D thank you!

do you have to hit 'set' every time you move the focus point?

bro i miss my m43 cams sometimes my g9 and gx85.. i may have to get a gx for an everyday cary cam

I too like MFT but mainly for the Speedbooster and I can use my EF Glass. I have main streamed my EF glass across my cameras. That Metabones .64X gives me 1.35 Crop Factor instead of 2.121. I also get 1 1/3 stop more light. I have updated the firmware on the Metabones and now on my Micro Studio 4K G2 I now have push to autofocus. For your background noise use a smaller light to add some luminance to the plant. Just a little bit of light will make a difference. Great vid bro this will definitely help someone else you has questions in this area.

Really good insights Chris, thank you for sharing. When I was shooting weddings I used GH5 and 2 X GH4s and did everything manually, very rarely did I miss focus. I didn't even shoot VLog I just set in a picture profile that I thought suited the location so practically no colour grading. The clients always were amazed with 4K footage and didn't think anything about the small set up. The other thing m43 allows you is small footprint for your total package: I took a Temba Cineluxe 21 bag with me (43 cm long, 25 cm high) which housed 3 bodies, 2 X 40-150 Olympus f2.8 lenses, a Voigtlander 17.5mm, a Panasonic 12mm f1.4, an Olympus 12-40 f2.8 (workhorse) lens and even had space for the Olympus 7-14mm f2.8. I had everything covered in a small bag and had no fear I could not get the shot on the day. It just allows you peace of mind with everything you might need jammed in a bag ready to go.

Great set up. Colors match beautifully.

Beautiful work. Setting aside the camera, this video is really good. How do you get the interviewees so comfortable to discuss these difficult topics?

Looks and sounds good!

mmmmm crispy audio

Because I bough S5ii, my EVA-1 took about back seat. But everything I use, I get stunned at how amazing it looks.

Very Clean bro!! the image looks great!!

I just ordered mine a few minutes ago, along with the pro pad for my Capture Card.

🔥🔥🔥

beautiful work, love the colours

I love this. Currently looking for a cheap one for myself too. Still hold up in 2024

Good video and audio production with LUMIX cameras.

Hey big man hope you’re doing fine, how do I get the audio from x32 to mini pro?

Awesome job with the EVA1.

excellent setup, I think it would help if you added lens support for such a small camera

This is an insightful presentation on the way you use your Lumix cameras!

Is this the Marco’s Pizza in Ann Arbor?

Good work!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thanks for the info!! I'd love to see how your rig is setup with that power bank. I have an S5 that I'm currently rigging out but I don't want to shell out a bunch of cash for the v-mount system just yet.

Suggestion, Smallrig already has a cage that houses both the Meike Battery grip and the camera, check it out!

Thanks for the video. Do you think it would work if I used the same set up as yours, but used a cheaper monitor, let's say PortKeys PT5 II 5inch, instead of Shinobi? If so, did I still need to add the SDI adapter? Thanks

great looking work as always Chris!

This is beautiful. Did you record internally or externally?

Hi, do you think it will be connecting with zv-1f?

Hi Chris, do you know how to change the display language?

The BS1H is such a great system, the two monitors are interesting strategy to keep menus hidden and record onto the external monitor... However, the thing I don't love is not having XLR inputs with the camera, would love to see how folks are rigging a Zoom F3 or recorder onto the rig and feeding into the aux back to camera.
