Great video man - I shoot primary boxing and just upgrading to the Z8. Shooting on a GH6 usually and pulling focus manually is possible but a ball ache. Your lighting and fog setup is very insightful. I’ve for a portable fog machine but usually shoot whilst gyms are being used during training sessions so it’s a no. Do you cover the smoke alarms to stop them going off? Subscribed

Very nice! The Z30 punches way above its weight. If nikon does release a z30 ii i hope they keep that low weight.

So dope man ! 👏🏽👏🏽 keep up the great work.

My Panasonic S1 is perfect at ISO 4000, then I can still go higher and still be clean.

ayyyy I made the intro lol

Thanks for making this video! very insightful

Nice video keep up the good work !!! It say Final Cut Pro but this work on DaVinci correct?

Thanks for sharing! Can we get some links to the handles, battery, and cage? What kind of computer do you use to edit if you dont mind me asking? Does it playback 4k n raw 120fps good?

Whats your lifting routine?

i love the URTH Filters !

Can you use this as a run and go camera with out knowing how to do a bunch of film grading?

Where can i get the battery clamp?

Great Overview and very nice images!

RESPECT. Great looking footage. This guy makes cages and gear for the BMPCC - www.youtube.com/@WillvonTagen/videos

This is my original real cinema camera. I have two of them. Also the BMMCC OG. What makes these cameras special and worth tracking down is the Fairchild sensor. Just gives it a look of it's own. Beside MFT lenses, I use classic cinema lenses from Angenieux using a C to MFT adapter. I have the whole set of the primes and the zooms as well. They are amazing in their own right. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face. I have given up chasing anything over 4K for my walk. When it comes down to it, this camera produces fantastic cinematic video. Likewise, I also use the NPF series battery solution, I also use Davinci Resolve for my video editing exclusively. You are a man after my own heart.

KZbin is so unfair! I just discovered your channel (the BMPCC OG video). Your content is awesome! I can't believe you don't have subscribers in the the six digit numbers.

The fact that this camera was used to shot an entire feature film (Cosmos) already makes it mind blowing

Great work, great video!

Great job Peter! 🔥

What's the deal with you. I'm not going to play, this cat and mouse game. Tell us, exactly how to grade footage from BMPCC

I was blown away when I first saw your post in the FB group, really gave me hope that I can produce a similar image with my bmpcc og. I would love to see the grading tutorial !

Nice video. Base iso is 800 but if you give it enough light 400 is cleaner. That’s how Will Von Tagen shot a feature film with this camera. He also produces the best full cage imo and he might be the only option if looking for new cage. I have this camera too and I’m in the process of kitting it out.

Yes, i want to know more about the grading process of you footage. Thanks!

Mate, I re-bought and sold it last year after watching too many new videos praising it too much. Had it back in 2013, but sold for GH4. And buying back used BMPCC OG was exactly like reconnecting to your ex: she looks amazing, and even sort of different after all these years. But thing is she didn't improve, and all the things that you forgot about her, that made you break up are now immediately obvious. Focusing, display, battery life, low-light (in)capabilites, bad rubber, visible sensor moire (that "grid" many users can see in post), RAW issues, bad sound - those outweight the pristine picture way too much. Compared to newer cameras it waaay too much of a hassle to consider it for daily or regular work. And I'm literally crying that these issues are know since the first reviews and one-year user reviews. BM could've just updated it based on the issues and the feedback, we could've been living with 1080p in this form factor, but wish it was suited for ease of use.

Never hire anyone who wears their hate backwards, never hire anyone who wears a hat.

Never use an opening shot like that. You will kill your career and been labeled.

500 views?

Nice imagery coming from a budget setup, even i have fall for the gear lust, I have an fx30 with some nice accesories, and it has have 0 Paid work, just some footage for my rental business, that Blackmagic produce video that looks cery nice.

Those early dual gain Fairchild sensors have some special sauce!

It’s crazy that when that camera was released, so many people complained about the flaws of the camera….poor battery life, bad display. My thoughts was, who cares? Have you seen what kind of image it produces? 😆 There should have been a renaissance of short films when this camera was in the wild. Too many complaints on the usability and that you have to rig it. Anyways…..now people appreciate it 😆. Another underrated camera is the Sigma FP. I don’t care what anyone says, that camera produces the best image out of anything released currently, except for ARRI and RED. Plus it’s a low light beast. Colors are amazing…has great tools like focus peaking, false color, EL Zone. It has histogram and waveform. Has Timecode. All of this for less than $1K. I predict a mass amount of people singing its praises in another 5 years 😆

ive had mine since 2016 and in 2020 the electronic to control aperture stopped working, so its vintage and cinema lenses only on it

yes i was waiting that you discover OG , amazing look you got. I also own one , and it is amazing. But even better look for me gives blackmagic micro og, same sensor but faster rolling shutter and for some reason gives even better filmic look. Keep going man and would like to see how you color grade your footage from gym.

Wouldn’t use used Mini-Mags, instead a new CineMag but otherwise DSMC2 is so nice. I love my Monstro. Even in comparison to Helium, Monstro is just so much better.

HGH or SARMs?

what's the name of the audio you used under the clip ?

peter is that you

Superb! How did you find grading the two cameras to a similar look?

Red DSMC still love the images.. look organic and Cine cosmetic. Than the komodo.. The red Komodo look Digital like Mirrorless camera for me

Purely for video work absolutely a dedicated cinema camera like Gemini is a good choice. But as a hybrid, Z8 was a good choice.

For camera flash mode, am I able to connect it to my camera or something bluetooth?

As an owner of an ARRI Alexa Mini and Amira, Ranger Monstro, Monstro DSMC2 and Ranger Gemini, and Sony FX6 and FX3 (different tools for different jobs / environments), I love reaching for my REDs whenever I can. And, the DSMC2 line is definitely a buyers market now with how inexpensive they’ve become, and with how much performance you get out of them. I definitely enjoy the look I get out of the AlevIII sensor from my ARRIs (which comes with the price point of those cameras), but the DSMC2 line (especially Monstro and Gemini) are absolutely no slouches, and get plenty of usage on my professional projects, especially corporate and live event work. Also, I love the cableless design, unlike the current DSMC3 offerings. And, the DSMC2 line of cameras will still outperform the majority of new mirrorless / hybrid offerings for the next 5+ years, easily. Also owned two Komodos, but sold those off as the image and DR wasn’t close to my Monstros and Gemini, and were ultimately collecting dust.

still my dream and i will buy it one day

I like your style

I have a Nikon Z5, and next year I'll get the Z6III I need those raw videos ♥

I own a RED Monstro 8K VV and I absolutely love it. As a DP who works for a lot of different brands… sometimes I’m asked to shoot on different cameras. I love the Arri cameras as well but other than that, I’d reach for my Monstro over any other camera. Even the new DSMC3 bodies are very annoying to me. They dont feel thought out to me.

what application did you use in ipad ?

Nikons z 26mm works nice on the z30 also

Great looking stuff. Love the lighting and set on the shot of you. Would you mind sharing what lens you used on that shot?

Hey man New sub here found your channel watching Nigel Barros channel you do a great work

Is the battery of the Z30 same as the Nikon Z5?
