Very helpful and thorough video, thanks for sharing. This confirms the saying 'you get what you pay for'. I was literally looking at this portkeys model vs the Cine7.

I sent my Nano ii back because it wouldn't pair the motors, and they would randomly go nuts and spin infinitely when it got kind of synced. I'm convinced it's a real POS after watching this. Support and the seller also gave me different information about handle compatibility. Was an overall horrible experience.

bro how’s the breathing I’m thinking about investing in them

The locating pin issue is a small hd thing SmallHD proprietary

guess i'll go with the smallrig

I've seen and tried that tilta at a show floor, I don't think it is well made, don't think I'd buy that. I think it will be interesting to compare the smallrig with the accsoon f-c01 instead. But the ultimate one now I think is the Dji focus pro

How did you manage to calibrate it? Did you just put a monitor calibrator on it whilst it was displaying white?

I was in the same boat as you thinking my Mercury are never going to come, I was thinking maybe they’re only sending out batches to high-profile people / “influencers” … but today the email finally popped up confirming mine are getting sent out in the next few days. I never thought the day would come 😂, So just hold out a bit longer, I didn’t order mine on day one - so the fact I’m getting my preorder is a good sign. Also by emailing them / mildly complaining a few times, I came to find out that they spend time with every single batch and basically assemble them in house by hand, it’s not like Sony or Sigma where they’re just cranking them out in an assembly line. But apparently the attention to detail is impeccable, they’re made to last a life-time, and you never ever have to worry about quality control issues. Anyhow, good luck, these will be the anamorphic lenses I’ve ever shot with & I’ve never been so amped for a piece of camera equipment. Going to shoot a whole doc with them this year

Very cool🔥

You ever get your set? Thanks for this. Saw plenty of good reviews, then I came across Northwest Camera Co's video, and i was worried. Glad to see someone actually demo it again

Just got the Portkeys here. Love the build quality, but I have the same screen “flickering” sometimes… do you see it all the time or just sometimes or with some inputs? Thanks for the video

Thanks for the comparison!

Thanks for the upload! Excited for my set to deliver! Hopefully soon.....

thanks for the review! is it possible to see some full screen clips from your test? or a google drive link with a couple of the raw files to download?

What camera did you do the tests on? S35 or Full Frame?

Thanks.

very nice

that shit was tight
