Hey mate! So this technique is a strictly visual timecode - no actual timecode signal goes to the cameras. It still works with multicam - we've done a lot of clips that way. You just need to make sure that every camera sees the tablet screen at the beginning - and then you use that footage to manually line up each camera in post. Sometimes that means putting some extra timecode on your playback file before the music starts, so the playback operator has enough time to get around to each camera and show them the slate. I've been wanting to work out a way to get physical timecode to each camera, but so far when shooting offspeed I haven't found a reliable method.

@@TheUndercurrentTV hey! Thanks for clarifying! But manual timecode=nightmare. I'm sure there's an easy way to jam it to a wireless master timecode unit. I'll do some testing and get back at you when I figure out a solution!

Hey Steve, I’m using a camBLOCK Adventure motion control system. Unfortunately camBLOCK aren’t actively making the product anymore, but if you reach out them they may have some available. They occasionally come up on the second hand market. I’ve used a bunch of systems and camBLOCK (while not cheap) is by far the most capable. Glad you liked the episode - much appreciated 🤙🏻

@@graetzmedia - thank so much for the info! Looking forward to exploring more of your content!

Thanks! I only recommend avoiding Bluetooth as most of this systems have some inherent (and inconsistent) delay which makes it hard to sync accurately later. Bluetooth is getting better and better so hopefully that will change as it’s a super convenient way to run your setup. To use the Wireless Go just attach one of the transmitters on your iPad (maybe use Velcro or if your case has a handle or lanyard clip it onto that) and connect the 3.5mm cable between the Go and the iPad (you might need a Lightning or USB-C to 3.5mm adapter if your tablet doesn’t have a headphone Jack). Then connect the receiver to your speaker using another 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable (assuming your speaker has an aux input). You might need to tweak the gain settings on the Go transmitter/receiver if the volume you get is too high or low.

@@graetzmedia thank you very much taking the time out to reply. I shall give it a go, didn’t even know I could do that with them. Thanks again 😁

Yeah mine basically never leaves the gimbal. I still get freaked out by how well it holds focus even on fast movements. You’ll love it!

Thanks! I haven’t had a chance to be hands-on with the Ronin 4D yet. The main thing that kept me from it was the limitation with the kinds of lenses you could use on it. But there’s more options now (including anamorphics) - so it’s worth revisiting. I’d love to see how effective the Y-axis stabilisation is.

Cheers 🤙🏻

Thanks mate 🤙🏻

😂 so true

You referring to Dante? Yeah I’m hoping to get a Sound Devices mixer for travel interviews. Do you know if you can use the Dante simultaneously with the USB interface?

@@graetzmedia No I mean even the MIX pre series now have plugins you can buy or that are free, one of them is for a "live mix" which does lietrally what you are doing here...

You’re talking about Dan Dugan or Auto Mic Mixing which are for audio only. This episode is about autonomous vision switching. I had AMM turned off on the SQ5 for this demo - but in future would prob use that in conjunction with VVD. But how the audio is treated for the FOH mix doesn’t effect the vision switching as the goal is to send pre-fader signals into VVD.

@@graetzmedia I want to see more nanomorph komodo video, 27mm... your videos look great indeed btw.

My next ep should feature the 27mm on the Komodo (mounted on the Rs3 Pro on my Steadicam 🤓)

Thanks! You should be able to the view the latest stream from the Live tab of my content 🤙🏻

In Australian dollars, at the time the video was made, inc. the lens and accessories…

Bright Tangerine makes a swing away rail for rangefinders on matte box.

Thanks Nelson! Not sure why the comments were disabled on the VVD vid. I’ve just enabled them 🤙🏻

Yeah 21:9 live-streamed isn’t really a thing AFAIK. Kind of limited to HD or UHD.

@@graetzmedia not with that attitude it isn't...

Can you share a link to the Fuji adapter? I’m looking into options to go wider with my 27mm!
