[@ajdartey]

Finally! Camera rigging tutorial. I've been searching everywhere for this. Thanks for sharing.

[@darkodj4131]

Thanks for this video, been following and keen to get on the board with Cine.

[@rajatshuvrachakraborty255]

Hello Sir, Thank you for your answer. Since I've little idea of camera operations, I have a question. Will that rig work with a lower version of black magic. Like pocket 4k? Because I have one.

[@lightcrafttechnology]

It should work with any camera with a clean HDMI output. You'll need to get a cage that matches your camera, but otherwise things should be very similar.

[@rajatshuvrachakraborty255]

May I know which version of the black magic camera is this?

[@lightcrafttechnology]

Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro G2.

[@jbrettontruettt]

It looks like you are using a BMPCC 6K. I have the 4K version. I assume the Tentacle TC generator will work with it as well. Can you tell me which model of the tentacle you recommend? I don't see it listed in the rigging components on your website.

[@lightcrafttechnology]

Good point. I'll add it to the Cine rigging page.

[@Kumarswamy_Hosmath]

Have you tested this with full blown rigs with mattebox? What is the limit of distance between cine lens and the iPhone lens? In most case of movie shoot we have matteboxes, why not demonstrate such scenario?

[@eliotmack]

Good suggestion. I'm working on an update of the rigging that better handles an underslung camera rig by mounting the iPhone to the side of the main lens instead of above it. It's also fine to raise up the iPhone a bit to clear the matte box.

Hello Team, I am looking to use my Sony Fx3 for Virtual Production, does jetset and its software integrate well with this specific camera? if not how do I go ahead using my Fx3 for Virtual Production?

[@duchmais7120]

Hello Lightcraft Technology. Thanks for sharing video. Which Lens on the BMPCC are you using in this demonstration?

[@eliotmack]

This is a standard Canon 24-105 zoom.

"Hello, Lightcraft Technology. Does Seemo already synchronize timecode between an iPhone and a camera, or is it necessary to purchase a Tentacle Sync or similar device for timecode synchronization?"

[@lightcrafttechnology]

You'll need the Tentacle Sync to get timecode matched between the iPhone and the cine footage. The SeeMo uses HDMI to capture & transfer video, and there is no standard timecode embedding in HDMI like there is in SDI (although different manufacturers do put timecode in HDMI in different ways.)

[@StudioWerkz]

Can or has this been calibrated with an anamorphic lens with a round trip into blender? Or is best to stick to spherical glass?

[@lightcrafttechnology]

We've tested spherical extensively. Anamorphic calibration in Jetset should be fine for getting a basic track. For sub-pixel refinement we're developing a Syntheyes workflow that can be extended to anamorphic solves.

[@StudioWerkz]

@@lightcrafttechnology Thank you, looking forward to it

[@henryrivero1917]

Hello, can you please confirm the Tentacle and the Portable SSD models?

[@lightcrafttechnology]

It was the Tentacle Sync E Mk II and the Exascend Ecko SSD.

[@Utsab_Giri]

So, the phone sits on top of the lens, not the sensor? Why is that?

[@eliotmack]

The Jetset Cine lens calibration system calculates the offset between the iPhone lens and the cine camera lens wherever they are. The lens 'entry pupils' are (usually) close to the front of the glass, so it's a good idea to keep the iPhone close to the front (and also gives the phone a clear line of site.)

[@XavierLongwa]

Is this set up possible with a mirrorless camera.. if so would it be the same set up?

[@lightcrafttechnology]

Yes. As long as the camera has a HDMI or HDSDI output that can generate a 'clean' feed (no data overlays, using the full width of the image) it will work.

[@XLence87]

@@lightcrafttechnology This may be a dumb question but can I substitute the accsoon seemo with a dii Raveneye Transmitter?

[@lightcrafttechnology]

@@XLence87 Jetset Cine only works with the Accsoon SeeMo for a live camera connection.

[@TrueButFictional]

Hi, I have the Seemo Pro 1080p version and was wondering if that will work?

[@eliotmack]

Yes -- all of the SeeMo devices will work with Jetset Cine.

[@TrueButFictional]

@@eliotmack thank you! Any limitations with the non-4K version?

[@eliotmack]

@@TrueButFictional 1080p is fine for calibration. The SeeMo 4K has a SD card reader so you will be able to record takes directly to it if desired. Very useful for productions that don't want anything near iCloud.

[@eliotmack]

@@TrueButFictional The SeeMo 4K has a SD card slot that Jetset will soon be able to record to. Other than that no limitations.

[@Kumarswamy_Hosmath]

Is tenacle sync a must?

[@eliotmack]

Required for synchronized real time rendering in Unreal. Highly recommended for general use as then the tracking data has the same timecode as the cine video takes.

[@Kumarswamy_Hosmath]

@@eliotmack can I get away with it for just camtrack data to be used in post?

[@cyrusstanola3929]

Is the tentacle necessary for lightcraft cine? Bc based on your other videos it seems like it is an additional accessory instead of a necessary one

[@lightcrafttechnology]

It's not absolutely necessary but highly recommended.

[@cyrusstanola3929]

@@lightcrafttechnology I thought Jetset Cine already had its own genlock thing with the digital slate to sync the tracking data and the footage? how crucial is the Tentacle and can I do by without it just fine or will I encounter problems in post?

[@lightcrafttechnology]

@@cyrusstanola3929 The digital slate works for the Autoshot post tracking workflow, but under some lighting situations the automatic marker recognition can be fragile (lights reflecting in the digital slate screen, etc.) In general timecode is a great idea to tie things together, and the Tentacle Sync is both inexpensive and works well.

[@aust917]

Is accurate manual synchronization possible without using tentacle sync?

[@eliotmack]

@@aust917 Yes, but we recommend the Tentacle as it can speed up take matching considerably. We're working on the implementation of timecode based take matching now.

[@Kumarswamy_Hosmath]

I am interested in only gathering 1. Camera tracking data 2. Camera track plus respective lens data Can we please have a simple tutorial on how to gather inputs and use with Unreal post? And pls share shoot data so that one can try first hand?

[@stuffonyoutube3515]

That does not look practical.
