Thanks for your thoughts and feedback on this camera! I'm leaning towards this option as well as the Komodo however, for run & gun doc style shooting situations, it seems to me the Mavo LF is a really solid option. Thx again. ✌🏽

I’m sorry, I’m apparently your...17th subscriber? HOW? That was absolutely brilliant. The review was informative, the b-roll was beautiful, and the tips were helpful. I expected a subscriber count in the tens of thousands. Anyway, keep it up. No matter how many people you’ve helped with this video, you’ve still helped; and that’s what matters! So, thank you.

[@wildricefilms3464]

Adam - honestly we read this comment and its so kind. Thanks a million mate. We're glad to see that you found it informative and well shot - we're getting messages to review the 8k next, so we'll see how that one will play out maybe in the next few months. Have a great week :-)

I love it

[@WillRoyMedia]

I love the results from the kinifinity cameras. I can't afford one but I'd love to rentone for a project

[@adamwaters9833]

Great review!

[@wildricefilms3464]

Thanks Adam!

[@davidhawkshaw4542]

Thanks for your review. I’m looking to move from a Fujifilm mirrorless hybrid and like the kinefinity range. Does not having autofocus limit your run and gun style, or not.? I watched another reviewers video who was extolling autofocus as a concept on cinema camera like the FX9 , but he uses the kinefity Mavo LF too so is it something one gets used to either way?

[@indfusion]

Thanks for a nice, clear review.

[@wildricefilms3464]

Cheers Mate! Hopefully will be making more vids soon

[@indfusion]

@@wildricefilms3464 and hopefully I'll have a Mavo soon.

[@gafpagear]

Hey the fw is now updated with a prioritized and function.. so you can assign the nd right the wheel. No need to push a button. Hope you like this.

[@wildricefilms3464]

Great thanks for the info! I'll check it out.

[@DaCreativeVibes]

nice work

[@wildricefilms3464]

Hey! Thanks Yee! Glad you like it

[@darkyagami4139]

1:11 Hey, isn't that Megan Fox? 🤔 And great video mate, there isn't much test footage from the Mavo so I was planning to get the BMPCC 6K, but after watching this, I'm sold on the MAVO LF.. 😁🔥🔥

[@wildricefilms3464]

Yes mate! Delighted to hear it!

[@jftvrwk]

How do you pull focus on your handheld setup?

[@Xationch]

Thx for the video. What’s the brand of the wooden hand rosette ?

[@wildricefilms3464]

It was a NICEYRIG wooden handle. If you want to use it the way I do don't forget to buy a left handed one! Most are right handed.

[@thereeljohnsteele]

Hey Rich, loved the video. Have they updated the firmware to where you no longer get the delay in the audio?/bars?

[@wildricefilms3464]

Hi John, I haven't actually tried updating yet mate. I'm deep into a project currently so didn't want to mess around until after. I'll report back when I get around to doing an update.

[@thereeljohnsteele]

@@wildricefilms3464 no worries, I actually heard from one of their reps that that issue was resolved. Thanks for getting back to me!

[@unclejezza]

What are your thoughts on Mavo Edge 8k?

[@wildricefilms3464]

Haven't looked into it that deeply but from the overview it looks very nice. It's got the ND filters built into the body now, so that's pretty cool. File sizes are probably insane. I mostly shoot with my LF in 4K and that already takes up a huge amount of hard drive space.

[@unclejezza]

@@wildricefilms3464 I would expect the Mavo Edge raw file sizes to come down substantially from Mavo LF given they are utilising an ProRes raw - which is pretty economical from my experience, especially over the LF's Cinema DNG. Oversampling in-camera down from 8k would be a huge space saver too... lets see if they hit the image quailty nail on the head.... could be a home run for Kine!

Who's that beauty @1:12mn ?
