Nice! Yeah the micro studio camera makes sense

[@andersonpriester2880]

Nice set up. I use a Zhyuin crane S3 (focus motors for both zoom and focus) with Sony FS5M2. The Crane handles follow focus (and I would be first to admit it can be a bit hit or miss in terms of staying locked on) but output from HDMI into crane transmitter with sdi out as well gives me multiple recording options without wires and I can do SDI into a recorder/monitor and take the output from monitor into ATEM. So livestream + native record + remote camera control = 1 man band baby! I'm going to have to look into the ronin...

This is good.. gunna spin one up for a Siny A74.. will need a HDMI splitter.. those multi ports on the BM are boss..

Woah! Viable pan/tilt option... multiple use outside studio... thinking about cutting micro G2 with 6kpro/G2 for portable 4 cam shoot. The dedicated pan tilts are $$ & one use... not sure I like active tracking - herky-jerk? Static talking head , say seated prob good, presenter walking or just plain hyper would drive me nuts(go wide). Recommendation for presenter laptop to switcher & stage monitor/projector setup?

I saw something like this from middlethings with a blackmagic studio camera and a hotas joystick for control

[@pjmverbruggen]

Hey, cool to see. I have the same setup but then with a Sony A6100 camera. Did you have a look at the BirdDog camera’s? They now also come with active tracking ootb.

[@liveproductionmastery]

I haven’t had a chance to play with them yet but they are definitely on the list and come highly recommended as a competitor. There will be a future video comparison for sure!

[@KurruptedDataYouT]

Can you please see if the micro studio shoots in flat profile please. No one has been able to answer this question for me

[@carredamien]

where do you find the BMSC4K ???? I don't find it !

[@danmirgorodskiy]

Does Middle Things controller can turn on active track remotely? This feature could be really handy

[@liveproductionmastery]

Yes it can!

[@tedz2000]

Does the lens zoom come with the ronin or that’s something else to purchase.. thanks

[@useditem_tk]

Combo

[@samgonza1975]

Hey, are you thinking of doing an update with the new BM camera?

[@liveproductionmastery]

Absolutely! Also check out some of my more recent videos with the studio camera similar setup

[@samgonza1975]

Thanks. Looking forward to it. Is there a way to do a similar solution without needing the raven eye and the middle things gear? So like a remote Dji ptz with focus and zoom control? @@liveproductionmastery

How much is the total investment of all this, I need it as an alternative to change a PTZ camera and I don't know if it suits me
