the real baby Alexa is OG BMPCC. The Fairchild sensor is equipped with the same dual-gain technology as the ALEV sensor ;)

That is correct

[@andrewpattersoncomedy2]

I made it to the end. This was super helpful. I’m trying to find something affordable that shoots good video in low light for under $300

[@100GoodWords]

You said it! There is a very easy learning curve to use the Magic Lantern hack but the quality that this camera produces just blows my mind for the price. With the right lens you footage is gonna pop- I favor the TTArtisan 35mm. For less than 300$ you can be set up with an incredible kit. I wish someone had told me this before I spent hours upon hours watching vids on overpriced high end cameras like the GH6 / S5 /sigma etc… save your money.

[@TerryWindell]

If you're just starting out and don't have a wad of $$$s to throw at a rig, this is a VERY good way to ease into it.

[@fredriksvard2603]

S5 is far from overpriced. Stabilization, full frame, 10 bit log, dual iso, 4k 60 etc, unthinkable not that long ago. It outperforms some dslr flagships from nikon and canon in low light.

[@PaulHarwood856]

@@fredriksvard2603 It's just a bummer that in 4k60 there is a crop...

[@fredriksvard2603]

@@PaulHarwood856 I know, i thought it would be a big deal but after a while i concluded that for me footage with crop was still good, 60/120/180 fps in 1080 is good, and i shoot 24fps almost all the time anyway. To get that noncropped slomo you pretty much have to double de budget and get an a7s3 or something. So it's still not overpriced, i can't fathom how the gh6 is priced higher.

[@PaulHarwood856]

@@fredriksvard2603 Thank you for your input I do appreciate it. I'm filming skateboarding lines with a fisheye so full frame is important to me. A7s III is great hopefully by time I have enough money the price will drop! LOL! - Paul

I think you're going to win KZbin with this video. I didn't know about your channel before this, it came up in my notifications. I'm a black magic fan, but love a good hack. Thanks for posting this video, it's right up my street.

[@marcusdwaynegonzalez5557]

That's a cool tool for people learning if they want to become movie makers.

[@TerryWindell]

A Canon T2i and Magic Lantern changed my life about 12 years ago. That's when I figured out that I personally could actually shoot good quality video. I was a still photographer and had been trying to teach myself how to shoot video and the camcorder I was using wasn't cutting it....but I thought it was ME who wasn't cutting it. That's when a buddy of mine turned me on to the Canon T2i and Magic Lantern. I still remember how joyous it was to realize in just one weekend that I could shoot SO MUCH BETTER video than I thought I could. One of the biggest things for me was that Magic Lantern gave me so much more control of the audio on the T2i. Suddenly you had audio levels right on the screen! Not to mention zebras and tons of exposure control. I've graduated to more advanced cameras now but I still have that T2i to this day...and even bought a second one for a two camera setup back then. I had no idea Magic Lantern was even still a thing! Glad to hear it's still hanging in there!

[@b3arodactyl]

Stupid question but does the t2i get features like higher bit depth video or anything like that? Have one laying around but had no idea you could hack the firmware haha

[@TerryWindell]

@@b3arodactyl No higher bit depth unfortunately. You can't change the hardware. But the ML hack does give you almost total control over the camera. Features that we take for granted on today's DSLRs were hidden and/or crippled on the T2i. It won't turn your camera into a Sony A7S mIII, but it's totally worth it. Plus lenses for this camera are cheap and with an adapter you can mount just about any lens. Hope that helps.

[@SPOD_ZONE]

I still use it.

[@WillCaban]

I pulled my t2i out today and shot photos on the classic 50mm f1.8…. Not gonna lie, I’m nicely lit situations this camera color science is amazing.

[@TerryWindell]

@@WillCaban The "Nifty Fifty" is a great kit lens. Yes, it has a few shortcomings, but once you know the limitations you can easily just work around them. And for the $$$s, that lens is a steal! And yes, even back then Canon's color science was pretty amazing.

[@neilmarshall7805]

[@SenorSenorStacks]

Really enjoyed that little subliminal “Like Button” animation at 6:12. Found myself liking the video before I even realized it.

[@1ashes]

I bought this camera 5/6 years ago and installed magic lantern in it and stopped using it. Glad I stumbled across this, gonna see if I can update it. Rather not buy another camera if I don’t have to

[@MasterT-n2c]

Wow, very cool. I've bought one just to do black and white photography and I wasn't aware this can be mentioned on the same page as an Arri Alexa. 😊

[@OhEsrad]

How long does it record till it explote?

[@davideastham]

Made it to the end. I 'll have to check this camera out. Thank you

[@JeremiahTrue]

I bought one of EOS-Ms years ago to use as a high tripod camera for exterior photography. When I got the DJI Ronin, it also became my video camera, though I was using it with the the Cinestyle profile rather than ML. I had ML, but never really dug deep into it. I’ll check out your other videos and see what else it can do.

[@windh]

I've shot two shorts with ML on the Canon 7D. Still looks pretty darn good. Only problem is very dense foliage and things like that, it tends to become rather garbled and chroma-blurred.

[@jamskaterpete]

i have an EOS M and a 5D mark ii and i feel like the results from the 5D mark ii with magic lantern are much better. i know its a bit more expensive with i believe its worth the extra money.

[@phinestro]

I have a 5D mark 2! Is there a magic lantern hack for this? I’ve been looking for it!

[@unbroken1010]

We really needed another codec 😌 can't even keep up with them . thank goodness for mp4

[@DevChow]

I’m happy with the direction of the channel, keep it up! Also wish magic lantern was available for more canon cameras however to be fair, it is reliant on volunteers and I don’t doubt it’s been getting harder and harder to code and debug the new cameras.

[@FrancescoRosiglioni]

Oh my god, I haven't heard of magic lantern in so long! I used it on my 600d (t3i) like 6-7 years ago, it was cool but that camera definitely didn't have the capability to handles it at it's best. Also the 5D had some lagginess when you were using ml on it. Honestly I think that the 2k prores of the Alexa it's still a better image (technical specifications and mere resolution apart) since the ale sensor is a really well tuned piece of hardware but I understand the need of a smaller and lighter camera. The Alexa definitely works at peak performance in a well structurated set. Great contents, the series about the Alexa restoration has been really fun to watch. Keep it up!

[@selishots]

I'd love to see a magic lantern type program come to older Sony and Panasonic cameras. I'd love to see what a a6000 series of G85 could do when hacked

[@MilesBellas]

The ARRI is a professional workhorse. It's a piece of industrial machinery. Productions rent equipment. . Exploring large sensor cameras and recreating firmware is a revolution.....

[@nozzlepie]

It’s a shame magic lantern isn’t available for newer Canon cameras. I had quite a lot of success with it 5-8years ago. Though some of the features I used are now built into the R series.

[@SeezSantos]

It has more to do with the fact that magic lantern needs more hackers.

[@yuxuanhuang3523]

@@SeezSantos And Canon hates this, so they are trying to disable hacks in their new cameras.

[@EpicWaterLion]

The main magic dev said that the newer models, beginning with the Canon 5DM4 have a far more complex software and hardware structure. Therefore being very hard to hack, and not worth the effort anymore.

[@s87343jim]

I remembered they unlocked Canon 7D for HDR video. Basically use two CPUs and line skipping to combine two exposures together. It's nuts!

[@EveryDayHeroes89]

Its not easy to hack the newer digic procesor, the eos m procesor is old and i dont think its digic also.

[@limitedhangoutlive]

There’s a ton of really good conversion LUTs for clog that gives you Arri colors. This is cool because of the price of the M but dynamic range and the roll off is what really makes an Arri standout. The M is just never going to be able to achieve that because it’s the sensor. Which, of course you covered in your video.

[@eddieeddiesfilmservice]

I was waiting for him to mention the usable Dynamic range 😂

[@DethronerX]

Good coincidence, I was already on the hunt to buy this camera, but for other reasons like getting a full frame lens on it with speed booster adapter and to use a 25mm 1.4 CCTV lens with C Mount, but now I have a third and most important reason, I can record in fucking raw and get focus peaking? Hell fucking yeah!! Thank you!!

[@1001Hobbies]

Couldn't help but watch the ENTIRE video. Very intriguing concept. Very interested to see what results can be gained with this set-up. Looking forward to seeing the limitations of dynamic range.

[@rossfromsa]

Nice one. Looking forward to the follow-up. I own two Canon Ms myself with decently low shutter counts in mint condition. I'm currently saving up and building them up into cinema rigs to shoot short pieces and music videos.

[@garypranzo9334]

This is easy to get going and setup and the picture is great but be aware the higher resolutions and raw video do not run that long and it crashes like crazy but when you find the right settings and C Mount lens things get interesting Also in most of the interesting settings, the View screen is unusable. To say the rolling shutter is horrible is an understatement. Moving the camera is not recommended. This is great for fun but never let it get anywhere near your Paid shoots. I think it is good for someone that wants to create some footage to practice color grading and editing in apps like Davinci resolve

I tried ML few years ago.. Worked fine on Canon M and 100D but sometimes quits and overheats? I don't remember. When You switch to SD card without ML your camera became "zombie" and does not start.

Global shutter? Different sensor size… stops of dynamic range… list goes on and on… Alexa with 2k has better image than most of 4K cameras. It’s a great thing what you can get from the M with Magic Lantern, but even a BMPCC would make the work better.

[@HistoricMetals]

Adam, first off, big fan, buy a lot of old sony bodies and things because of you. And I ended up ordering an EOS M too, again, largely driven by you forging a path toward it along side your other videos for me. But I haz a question. When I deep dove on ML and all the things, I see that there are all kinds of variations in the feature set across the various canon body options that ML has been ported to, and I am curious why we are all buying the EOS M, when some of the other tXi/x00 models seem to support more of the ML functions on the comparison chart at the ML page. Why are we all buying the EOS M, when some of the bigger bodies have say, more accessory ports, or viewfinders or other nice to have options and seem to be even more capable with ML on them? What am I missing here? I bought the EOS M because there seems to be so much video and FB group support for it specifically, but the whole time I was thinking, am I making a mistake? Shouldn't I be picking up like a rebel body, a t3i/t5i/600d/700d whatever, that checks more boxes on the ML comparison chart? I would love your insight/answer to calm my potential EOS M buyer remorse. LOL.
