[@itslucasyap]

Thank you for uploading this video. Can you do a dedicated video discussing/guide about BMPCC alternative power option. Also, another thing that got me thinking is using external recorder for BMPCC like Atomos Ninja, is it suitable? I tried to look for it but it is not as easy as I hoped for. I'm looking forward to get one after this quarantine/lockdown.

[@carlscinema7086]

Thanks for the suggestion, will look into it :) There's not really a need for an external recorder with the BMPCC since it already does Prores and Raw internally. The only reason i could see would be if you wanted to record to bigger SSD's instead of SD-cards. You wont be disappointed, seems like everyone who owns one or has owned one loves it.

[@calmingvoice8646]

There is a Juicebox external battery made just for Blackmagic cameras and gives you 7 hours. You don't need an external recorder, but there are a lot of external monitors that work well.

[@ludekaschenbrenner8025]

Thanks for the video it was helpful! If you’re recording to ‘Film’ but viewing ‘Video’ on your display, are you seeing colour truer to what the LOG footage will look like with a LUT/colour correction applied? Or will you only ever see a ‘flat’ looking picture through this camera?

[@carlscinema7086]

Yes exactly, you will be viewing it with a Film to Video lut, so essentially a rec709 lut. It doesn't pass through to the hdmi output though, so if you want it in an external monitor you would have to load a lut to that instead (assuming it has lut support).

[@carlscinema7086]

I haven't used the metabones so I can't really tell you how it compares, but I'm happy with my Viltrox. Thinking about doing some tests with different lenses and compare to a dumb adapter to see how it really affects the image though.

I've seen some footage with the metabones one and it looks great but as a newbie, I'm not sure i could see a massive difference. I guess you'd have to be working on it the whole way through to see how it affects things. Thanks for the content Sir!

[@marcopervo]

Setting it and forgetting it works best with the Original. I'll break the 180 shutter rule occasionally for low light or fast movement. Using aperture and ND for exposure and matching white balance keeps shooting simple and optimizes quality.
