Hi, although the explanation here (which is by far the best you can find on the net) refers to the Weebill S you nevertheless can take 1:1 for the Crane 3S as well, especially the transmission system part. I hope this helps, please let me know if it did - here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqPcomyBZcSrjbc - have fun! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Ahh, i almost forgot, in case you have vibrating issues or some weird shaking going on, check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHOUo3yVqNtoabc or this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3qWZ5ispa2aobs

You might be looking at log footage that hasn’t had a LUT applied yet? That method of shooting means you retain more latitude to make creative decisions later in post. You can apply a viewing LUT in camera to make the footage look more palatable. Then in post you can apply a grading LUT to give you a headstart on colour correction. If you’re doing quick turnaround work on a Komodo, you can shoot straight to ProRes and choose to “bake” the LUT into the footage.

In this test I tried to use the Zhiyun focus/zoom motors on their rail system but had trouble getting them to communicate with the Motion Sense remote.

Just wondering if you're happy with the komodo? I currently have a pocket6k (used to own the scarlet mx back in the day). There's just something about a red.... wondering if this has the same magic or whether it's just a toy branded with the red logo? Also, what did that cost you landed in Aust? I think the stormtrooper one is US$7000? What does it end up being with shipping and taxes etc (hard to get any info on it)
@graetzmedia4 жыл бұрын
It’s a fair question - and I can 100% say it’s not a toy. I’m seeing very little quality difference between the Komodo and my Monstro (apart from sensor size). For me, Redcode Raw is what makes Red cameras so powerful and having something this small with that power inside it is crazy. Cost me approx $11k AUD inc shipping and taxes. The Stormtrooper beta run is coming to an end soon. I believe the normal production run will be at least $2k USD cheaper. Question is when they can start that phase with the impacts of Covid.

Unfortunately only the older 7.2v batts. BP-As are double the voltage. I’ve got 2 x BP955s and 2 x BP975s for the Komodo.

Runtime is impressive on them (anecdotally-speaking haven’t done an official test yet).

Hi, looks awesome. I've actually had lots of experience shooting with the RED + Zhiyun Crane 3S out of a car in a simple setup.

You can feel free to check out my solo operator Zhiyun Crane 3S official tutorial on my channel to see how I used it. Good luck and great success to your upcoming Music Video shoot.
