Jesus how does this only have 618 views? Great content. Could you talk more about the use of this on a gimbal particularly the movi pro. Any idea what the total weight with the epic w is with the gimbal?

[@ThomasSchweighofer_]

Thanks man! Its really well fittet for that, the movi pro has tons more of power back there, but its not needed, not even the 50-100 lens is really heavy and it does not bring the movi to its maximum at all. I used the epic w, 50-100, connex amimon video downlink, 15mm rods and a dji follow focus. so that all is still less weight in your hand compared to using a dji ronin with an a7s and a small photo lens, i promise. Movi pro cuts weight so intensely! Powering all that gear made me change both batteries all 40minutes keeping 30% of the battery voltage on the movi pro batteries. Total weight, i can not tell at all, i am really bad on that and i never weighed it, wouldnt change the game if i knew the weight, but i assume its something around almost 5kg? i know weights from lifting in the gym and i would assume its a bit less than 5kg weight. Anything more you would like to hear? best, Thomas

Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I currently run a GH5, Teradek Bolt 500, RRMicro Wireless Follow Focus, and some other accessories on a Ronin-M. It weighs in between 11-14 LBS depending on the photo lens I am running. I think this is about the max I could carry for a long time without an assist rig. I am actually looking at investing in the Epic-W and Movi Pro soonish... .been doing lots of research. Thanks for putting so much into this video it was great to see some footage from this combo.

Awesome video! I have heard that there is a bit of vignetting when shooting at 8K FF on the Epic-W with the 18-35mm T2 Sigma Lens. Is this true? Much appreciation!

[@ThomasSchweighofer_]

Hey Matthew, Yes, its true since it is an lens designed for APSC Cameras, the Epic W is a S35 Sensor, so it is an edge bigger than APSC. But if you go onto 19.5, 20mm there wont be any vignetting on that lens, so as it is a zoom, there is no trouble to not use the 18mm, its still really wide and great :) But the 18 35 zoom is a killer lens, really. Its so cool to use! best Thomas

[@matthewrodriguez1132]

That's good! Yeah, I have been trying to get some good glass for my Epic-W. I do corporate style work, but also some short films on the side. I saw the 18-35mm T2 and the 50-100mm T2, and they looked to be the best for both styles of filming. My only concern was the vignetting. But like you said, a simple adjustment fixes that. Amazing work, btw. I really like the cats in the snow video!

Sehr schöner Clip! Ich glaube du könntest einen tick langsamer sprechen, dann wäre es noch angenehmer zu schauen.

Hey Joscha, Da liegst du vollkommen richtig. Aber wollts kurz halten und über linsen kann man doch ne stunder erzählen. Daher hab ich mich für diese überflutung entschieden ;)
