This Device is The Future of Solo Filmmaking | DJI LiDAR Real Review

[@mcneilbelle]

I literally just bought the DJI RS3 Pro and the LIDAR 3 days ago this is going to change Film making forever ARE KIDDING ME😳😳 the fact we can use cinema lens as a single person shooter wowwww

[@UnchartedWorlds]

so are you convinced that it's going to change film making forever or were you sarcastic? Not sure, and I'm thinking about getting DJi RS3 PRO with Lidar. Let me know...

[@mcneilbelle]

@@UnchartedWorlds no I was quiet serious about that statement bro for years film productions relied on focus pullers and not to say they still won’t cause the LiDAR technology still need some refining But with the LiDAR you can now auto focus Cinema lens without a focus puller revolutionary I highly recommend you get both rs3 with the LiDAR

[@UnchartedWorlds]

@@mcneilbelle Great, I've got Blackmagic 6k pro and some DZOFilm Pictor Lenses I hope to use with this. I hope the gimbal will work with zoom cinema lenses without much hickups, I'm guessing I will have to register each zoom level as a different lens? I guess I will have to experiment, but it would be nice to know before investing money :)

[@gamingsushii6600]

Cinema Lenses with autofocus I am in!!

[@Christo_glenn]

Crazy how fast technology is coming along. It's also crazy to think that anamorphics are affordable too. Truly a great time to be a solo film maker.

[@cammackey]

RIGHT?! I remember when I use to dream of shooting anamorphic.. now were drawing in options. And now they basically can have AF.

[@spookeasytv]

Real Anamorphic lenses are not affordable yet lol

[@Sushanttechworld]

This technology can revolutionize single gimbal operation with manual focus lens.

[@pramilapal2748]

Great and indepth video, keep up the good work.

[@ChadSchrandt]

It's nice when someone that actually works in the field makes content. Much more valid than the youtubers that just do youtube.

[@initialfocus]

Randomly clicked on this video cuz I love me some anamorphic and was interested in seeing how the LiDAR did with it. Then noticed you linked me in your description. Really appreciate that! Your work is incredible! 🙌🏼

[@cammackey]

You’ve been the main source of info in this puppy!! I appreciate ya brother.

[@srimayacollection]

Lidar tech is so helpful

[@DIRECTEDBYSRY]

I have learned so much from this channel, thank you for these videos brotha. 🖤

[@assadbkr6145]

You really have some of the best videos I love IT !!!!!!

[@LEVINEDRUMS]

Your footage is always suchhh butterrrr

[@TheMattProject]

I always thought the system looked cool but didn't know that I needed it until I watched this video.

[@rickmagnell]

I use my RS2 ALL the time, I’m really looking forward to upgrading and try out the LiDAR. I even have uses for the LiDAR on my phone for client work in real estate, it’s a pretty amazing technology in our hands.

[@cammackey]

Crazy it’s been around for a while and it’s getting a second life yaha

[@No-touchMe]

I don’t know why but, I just love the Way anamorphic lenses work it. always gives you that contrast of a Moody color or how red and blue light pop out or when smoke Blows through the wind always reminds me of blade runner.

[@BrandonTalbot]

This video has convinced me to grab the lidar for my RS3Pro. This was rad thank you.

[@shrimayacollectionravi3470]

Hope they slim down this unit even more.

[@NTVIZUALS]

60K subs gonna come around the corner fast for you with this great content!

[@tristanan9031]

This is honestly pretty sick.

[@TheAaronalden]

I have a zhiyun and it is good, but DJI is always just one step ahead. The lidar is such exciting tech, it is insane!

[@Eyeofkamau]

@4:21 yoo, this is the spot 🔥, just wrapped a shoot here today 🎥

[@xuelongmu7265]

Thanks for the review!

[@tonyaleman5587]

Yooooo what a giveaway! I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏽 Love your content and your hats are dope too btw 👌🏽

[@3abdangry]

still waiting on the device that won't need the gimbal to set it up, could you please ask them when it'll be out?

[@ravishrimaya662]

Hope they sell this module stand alone without the gimbal

[@alexiscuarezma]

this is so nice. Excited to see where this goes in the future.

[@ericalvarez9345]

Would love to have this setup for my R5C so I could use it on my vintage FD lenses.

[@ravikumarshrimaya7102]

How is the performance with sony cameras?

[@gibbsguides7052]

Sweet man! Very interesting product!

[@protechteus]

thanks for this video, I've been looking dor some solid review about lidar device for my rs3 pro before buying 👌

[@CPSWEDEN]

Great review!

[@sicinvest]

I have been using 3d focus with 0.95 35m, which works ok in the daylight conditions (center frame) but Lidar would be so much more reliable, especially in low light! Great video!

[@zloslov]

Please make a video of how you “paint” your videos. How do you make such an expressive color.

[@melanienolley]

Thanks for sharing!

[@holdee]

Looks like they definitely improved on the LiDAR focus assist that was released with the RS2. Calibrating that was a hassle sometimes. Great shots as always!

[@thedronetravelers]

Great insight, as always!

[@mannaffolki]

Nice video, thanks for sharing all the knowledge. Mind sharing what battery you're using in your setup? Is it a 50Wh or 98Wh. I"m assuming that the weight difference could offset the whole rig.

[@joegainsborough8018]

@cammackey Amazing video and cool footage! Is it possible for the autofocus tracking work whilst the gimbal isn't in a tracking mode? So completely manual gimbal operating with autofocus tracking...

[@christianlainesse4281]

Looks sweet!

[@timeremag8732]

Love it!

[@AdamLProductions]

I have the RS3 Pro and the LiDAR system also. One thing I've had an issue with is framing for close shots. The image the camera captures is not the same as the image the LiDAR sees, and so when I turn on Active Track it winds up tracking the bottom half of people's faces, even though the focus box is tracking their faces properly. I've asked in the DJI forums about this, but no replies. Have you experienced this problem?

[@cammackey]

That’s what the 2X zoom fixes. You have to update the firmware. I’m sure someday they’ll be able to connect a LiDAR system to what the camera sensor is seeing

[@AdamLProductions]

@@cammackey My firmware on the gimbal and the LiDAR is current, and I've already tried the 2X zoom which did not help. You can see the problem in the video I posted above.

[@ryanseif]

One the things makes your work very unique is the way you color your videos. It is just amazing. Do you used film emulsion? For example the shot of the lady with anamorphic lens at the very beginning of your video?

[@cammackey]

My own LUTs! Can find a link in the description

[@fakenewselon7759]

Johnny depth of Field

[@MrHauerManuel]

Iphone voiceover audio sounds tight! 4:02

[@jftvrwk]

2:43 so this is actually something i'd very very interested in. I have the rs3 pro but i'd looove to use lidar with even analog 16mm camera's... Any word on that side handle? And would it use the current lidar and focus motor?

[@neilfullframe]

Sorry if I missed this, I have an RS3 not the PRO. Will the LiDAR work with the non pro version of the gimbal?

[@mcneilbelle]

Unfortunately no it’s only set for the pro but hopefully with a firmware update it will

[@depotmsa2362]

I need this for my anamorphic lens crazy ! good

[@elladurman]

awsome vid!

[@danivasilioglufilms]

Cool stuff

[@YoYoYo]

Awesome!

[@tigersasha559]

this is so rad

[@tuckerandersonfilms]

Great gimbal!

[@DanielMendez-mc5ch]

How can I integrate the lidar dji into my rs3, or is it only for the rs3 pro?

[@JeDxDeVu]

Crazy giveaway 😜 good luck yall. Crazy set up.

[@Kokorba6iqta]

Great production!

[@mcneilbelle]

4:39 - 4:50 looks like a Quentin Tarantino movie love the colors

[@cammackey]

Damn thank you! I guess not horrible for just two homies hanging out in some bushes lol

[@mcneilbelle]

@@cammackey quick question did you shoot your sample shots in this video in raw or XF-AVC compressed

[@VeeTravels]

Hi cam mackey, Thanks a lot for this informative video -- I really liked the closeup shots of the gimbal so I could see the build quality. At this point, I am not sure whether it is best to keep my Zhiyun Crane 2 for the next few years or upgrade to the RS3 Pro. I have had the Zhiyun Crane 2 since 2018 and have been using it to make walking videos -- feel free to check them out on my channel. It is calibrated nicely to compensate for sudden turn movements (good amount of deadband). Though the micro jitters and z axis bounce movement can bother me sometimes -- especially on intense hikes. I am wondering in your opinion whether it is worth it to upgrade from the Zhiyun Crane 2 to the DJI RS3 Pro?

[@cammackey]

I mean when you have a DJI gimbal, you’re investing into a whole system of options. From all the Tilta accessories, to the LiDAR, to app support and all of that it all cones down to your need tho. DJI is like an industry standard at this point, depending on the size of production obviously. It’s not my job to be a salesman tho, if what you have works fir you then no need to spend money!

[@VeeTravels]

@@cammackey Thanks a lot for providing insight, Cam. Although I do think my setup is top heavy so it can put additional stress. Honestly, I just want a dumb gimbal that does its job reliably. I have no interest in the extra features/bells and whistles. I am hoping the RS3 would fulfill that better than my current Zhiyun Crane 2. I would appreciate if you check out my recent videos to see what I do. You can see as mentioned, it is not complicated what I am after, just simple smoothness. I am also freaking out a little because this guy grilled the RS3 pretty hard: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6mVp4iuo62godE&lc=Ugx1cvaMtRw0W_9hWBl4AaABAg.9kVEMjNuanM9kW_W3J46RL&ab_channel=GlobalShutter

[@UnchartedWorlds]

Can I ask if I use a lens like DZOFilm Pictor which is a zoom lens, if I register it with 35mm, and I later change the zoom to 50mm, I will have to register this as another lens in the RS3? Do you have experience with cinema zoom lenses and how one would use/register them with this gimbal? each zoom level that one plans to use would be registered as separate cinema lens? I've seen in other reviews on youtube that they only allow you to save 3 lenses, do you know if this number has been increased with any firmware updates? Greatfull for response, btw I've just subscribed! :)

[@cammackey]

Hi! Thanks for subbing! I sadly do not have those answers. I do believe I recalled them or someone saying they’ll add more lens profiles down the road. I would shoot them a DM on IG or email them, you’ll most likely get all your answers!!

[@heynow2880]

How is on telephoto? When you adjust the focal length do you have to recalibrate it?

[@kylehessling2679]

Yes! I’ve been wondering your opinion on this for all the anamorphic work you do! Great stuff homie! Would be amazing for my pocket 6k!!

[@cammackey]

Dude it’s so freakin clutch. Glued to my gimbal setup now lol

[@kylehessling2679]

@@cammackey Have you played with the 1.25x adapter from sirui at all? I've been considering picking one up to use on spherical primes!

[@cammackey]

@@kylehessling2679I have! I haven’t tried it on spherical yet tho

[@kylehessling2679]

@@cammackey do you like it with the 1.6x lenses? I feel like the combo would need open gate shooting pretty bad which canon somehow doesn’t have on the R5C yet 😢

[@eladbari]

I'd love to hear what you're upgrading to from the R5C, man. Also, gotta say I've seen some footage from the Fuji X-H2S you're also selling, and footage seems pretty sweet (maybe low light isn't best). Wonder why you're letting it go too...

[@kaskasero]

This is amazing tho I cant afford it. but its so nice.

[@michael.kronsteiner]

Nice!

[@StarskiYall]

Thanks for the video! Question do you know if you use diopters on your anamorphic lenses if will still work or do you have to recalibrate it etc? I have the new sirui Saturn 35mm and wanted to try it but I also want to use diopters so I can get closer.

[@cammackey]

Would have to 100% recalibrate it sadly

[@SHVWNCOOPER]

60k man. i'm putting my bid in for that rig cuz i need to swap now that i upgraded and got the komodo. help. lol.

[@mediarocker]

super review...thanks for that...how long does it take with you until you are "ready to shoot" on the set? so from camera and rs3 still in the case to ready set up? thanks in advance.

[@cammackey]

Well usually the night before I get everything pre balanced. If possible I keep it rigged out. But say we show up and aren’t able to rig it till that morning.. myself, if the lens profiles are already in.. under 15 minutes. I’m pretty quick with it personally. I’m sure there’s people who can do it within a few minutes. But a lot of my assistant can take forever on it if they’re not super familiar I would 1000% not try to instal the lens updates on the same day as a job though. Like sure it’s semi quick to do after you’ve done it a few times. But you gotta test it after and all that for safty. Just not wise.

[@gideok2024]

where can we find the footage you shot ?

[@jaimegonzalezpena91]

Does it work for following subjects while zooming in or out?

[@cammackey]

Zooming in and out on the camera or the LiDAR? Yes to both. Just be aware if your frame differs too much between in camera and the LiDAR system it might not track accurately

[@sebastiankvasnak3527]

Crazy how it works! I love this gimbal

[@aniketnegs]

crazyyyy

[@IzaierMV]

That gimball support heavy lenses right??

[@cammackey]

Yes! But depends on your overall rig setup

[@asaadyt]

keep going, (:

[@josefdemergis]

Is there a soft spot for how wide the lens should be open in order for the system to work best? How fast is the lidar system able to compensate for a shallow DOF when your subject is moving? Great real world review, thank you

[@cammackey]

I kept the siruis wide open with no issues! Obviously if you’re shooting at 1.2 you’re gonna need to make sure you use precision when calibrating it.

[@josefdemergis]

@@cammackey Thank you for the response, have a nice year 2023!

[@jeandejesus910]

Send me this tech man!

[@markdanielkelly]

Fantastic video! Does this setup work well with your Komodo? Is there any reason you use the R5C over the Komodo with this lidar setup?

[@cammackey]

Sold my Komodo! But yes a Komodo setup would work just as well

[@markdanielkelly]

@@cammackey ah, gotcha. Is the R5C just a better option because you can take photos as well? I think you said the Komodo has a cleaner/better image than R5C, right?

[@cammackey]

@@markdanielkelly the Komodo is better image quality than most cameras but just requires more input to run. The R5C has better autofocus and can use it as a photo camera. Just give and takes to each.

[@dhyanverco]

I'm hoping whatever they bring out supports more than 3 lens profiles. It's such a weird limit.

[@cammackey]

Personally for me it’s fine and it’s actually pretty easy to calibrate on the spot of before the shoot. But yeah if you’re someone who swaps a lot of lessons within on shoot, can slow you down a little

[@PBALLERAZ]

@@cammackey damn that green is sweet! My LiDAR comes Wednesday can’t wait to try it out on my BMPCC 6K pro. Were all the shots of the girl done with it? You just concentrate on framing and physical movements it does the rest?

[@cammackey]

@@scooteractual yup everything was with the LiDAR! I pretty much jsut made sure she was in frame and it did the rest. The face tracking is clutch. I wanna test the active track more at some point too. I feel it takes some learning to get use to its characteristics

[@scooteractual]

@@cammackey Forgot to ask - is it possible for the Lidar to track focus on moving subjects that aren't people? (Cars, Animals etc)
