How would you use this???

[@HiethGeorge]

Nice bit of kit would love it in the car, down the stables, in the studio or down at the surf rescue club or even up the crane 😂😂

[@SamHolland]

Anywhere basically 😂👌🏻🎥 tickety boo

[@StuWNZ]

Loving your work as always!

[@HiethGeorge]

@@SamHolland exactly it be Tickety-Boo 😁

[@ErisedMediaCo]

Does it work with the “LiDAR Range Finder” or only with the “DJI LiDAR Range Finder for RS3 Pro”? They appear to be two different units…

[@DrWasim]

Riding a one wheeler, on a busy road, vlogging with a GoPro, talking on the phone, monitoring a monitor, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I had my heart in my throat watching that!!! The length you’re willing to go for content, absolutely stunning!

[@SamHolland]

😂 🙏🏻 thank you! No time to do it all separately otherwise I’d only make 1 video a year! 😛😂 thanks for watching.

[@PrestonGladd]

It’s not a GoPro, it’s an Action 4, with all this DJI Sponsorship he has I doubt they will let him use a GoPro.

[@SamHolland]

@vlt14 😂

[@gbwalther3198]

@vlt14 What are u talking about? The English don't have any laws. King John thought also thought he could get away with using the Iron Handed Law. It didn't go so well for him. The Barons revolted. He ended up sealing a parchment called the Magna Carta. Since then, the English have given up. If u don't believe it, just look at this video again: "Every single Driver is Driving on the WRONG side of the Road!" Since the Magna Carta, the Bobbies have given up too-all they carry are wooden sticks. That's why Sam dreams of being a real cowboy out west in the US of A! Check all of his videos out & eventually you will also see legal proof of that. Period & Amen! 😎😎

[@dave882]

It was idiotic.

[@aloyminimum]

DJI went from “that drone company” to “the company that got our backs”

[@martinmysior]

3:59 yes you do if you film with the dji 4d or the Inspire 3 on remote focus

[@dbrazierr]

i love dji but still needing the gimbal is kind of hilarious lmao. quality video though, love the colours.

[@hexotech5202]

I know right, best thing is to rent a gimbal and calibrate and store it and then move on. Until they have a new version which allows for it to be stored on the onboard chip. I think DJI intentionally do not want people to buy the lidar without buy the Gimbals or the 4D, Or transmission unit.

[@SamHolland]

Thank you! 🙏🏻🎥

[@Zoran1899]

Since I do not need the 6 km range, I stay with the Hollyland which is much more cheaper with good latency.

[@MichaelWTurner]

DJI is a very innovative company. I have a few of their products. I have the mic system and use it all time. I have my Mavic air 2 which is "Old" now, but still amazing, I have a Ronin...etc. The Lidar thing is cool, but honestly I shoot with Sony cameras which have amazing AF. Coming from an event shooter/content creator, this just looks totally cumbersome for no reason

[@SimonHollandfilms]

i could use lidar...cool

[@CelestialxPanda]

SKIP TO 6:50 !! SHEESSSHH!!!!

[@creativityandthecreative9304]

Grace, Peace and Love the spirit and energy of your video with great info and content. I do own the DJI Monitor and Transmitter however it’s been sitting due to intimidation… LOL, but your video inspires me to stop being intimidated. I also have the DJI Ronin 4D that I LOVE! Along with their 17-35mm. Again “Thank you”!

[@SamHolland]

My pleasure! Thank YOU for watching… now go out and use that awesome gear you have! 🎥🤩💪🏻

[@gummoman]

Just seeing the number of cables from the lidar device gave me a headache. I think that it's better wait for the PDMovie Live Air 3.

[@DynamicPhil84]

DJI is upping the game for sure. Looks like the LiDar focusing accuracy has improved quite a bit since I first tested it out last summer. What is that small device you are placing underneath the LiDar with all the cables coming of it?

[@d_FLDE]

I guess you found out already .. if not. That is a cable that makes the lidar stand alone without a rs3 or other gimbal.

[@alzibaba]

Thanks Sam. Am I missing something though? It's been possible to use the Lidar from the RS3 pro without the gimbal for some time now. Just need to give it enough power from an external battery. Been doing this for a year now, it works great. That said, having also used a PDMovie follow focus for quite a while, I'm looking forward to seeing how well the new Live Air 3 smart works, particularly as it can store 5 lens profiles, while the DJI can only store 3.

[@willgavillan]

Nice video Sam! Do you have a link for the LiDAR hub device? Do you think you could maybe do a short video on the setup of that device for use handheld?

[@photojoseph]

Killin’ it with this video! Views are off the chart; good job man. Looking forward to crossing paths soon!

[@SamHolland]

Thank you Joseph 🙏🏻🎥

[@PhilHover]

Hollywood uses TeraDek because of zero latency. This has a lot. Hollyland’s system is a lot less expensive.

[@GeorgeHolden]

Had no idea DJI were cooking this up, amazing video as always!

[@SamHolland]

Thanks brother 🙏🏻🎥🤩

[@Glen.Danielsen]

Sam! Thanks mammothly much again for incisive thoughts a lots! Cheers again from the States. 🙏🏽😊

[@laniakeasupercluster4606]

A few years ago, at a SONY cinema camera launch, I asked the presenter about the autofocus system. Surprisingly the audience behind me reacted humorously, suggesting that serious cinematographers don't use autofocus. I chuckled to myself and turned back to the audience to point out its value for one-person crews, like in interviews - they went silent! The presenter, unsure, hadn't tested it. In conclusion, I believe autofocus has its place in cinema despite negative perceptions from others - especially those that pretend they have industry experience etc.. if you’re a ‘proper’ creative, you’ll know when not to use it!

[@umbrellacreativebris]

Amazing content, thanks so much for sharing. Game changer for small teams that's for sure.

[@RAXITH_playz]

1:19 keep it frame mate.. it’s a masterpiece

[@WayneTheBoatGuy]

That's some neat stuff

[@retlwiz]

The gotcha was you still need the gimbal or their monitor to store the lens profiles. Also the way the autofocus will not ignore things pAssing in front of it or track any subject. Once it does these things I will be interested, otherwise it’s a lot of money for something with limited use. I don’t film myself, but as a videographer and DOP would love a working autofocus for manual lenses.

[@tomcattermole1844]

Very subjective, the way I see it though is that many AF lenses slap a premium almost the price of the Lidar system on top anyway so hard to say whether it's not worth it.

[@joescho]

Testing the distance is one factor, but a good test would be around a large group of people. I livestream a lot of events and the recievers we use are always fine until a big crowd comes in and the mobiles interfere with the signal

[@bradley.kelleher]

Can you still use the dji follow focus handheld without LiDAR . And does LiDAR only work with the dji follow focus ?

DISTANCE IS OK TO HAVE SOMETIMES, BUT THE PENETRATION, AH THE PENETRATION, THAT IS THE BEST!

[@thiagolimadop]

Man, your videos are so funny. I would love to try this lidar out! Thanks

[@SamHolland]

Haha thank you! 😂🙏🏻🎥 yeh it’s awesome!!! If you get chance it’s loads of fun

[@jonathanfarber]

Thanks Sam

[@ErikCortina]

It would be awesome if DJI put clips on their microphones. Or At least allow you to connect a lapel mic so you don’t have to hold the mic in your hand.

[@JoATTech]

7:12 - I still need a gimbal or what monitor? - to calibrate the Lidar?

[@SamHolland]

The DJI high bright monitor 👌🏻 it’s got a screen on it that guides you through storing the profiles 🎥

[@JoATTech]

@@SamHolland Thanks Sam. So the monitor you got in this video. The price tag is ~ DJI Ronin 3 Pro :(. Someone mentioned PDMovie Smart Motor in the comments. This seems to be in my budget range :D. Cannot wait.

[@HiethGeorge]

Nice bit of kit would love it in the car, down the stables, in the studio or down at the surf rescue club or even up the crane 😂

[@jargonfreehelp]

This is great. Thank you. Can you have two cameras, two transmitters with one or more receivers and switch between them. Is this possible with the high bright monitor too to switch from transmitter to transmitter. Thanks in advance.

[@raredreamfootage]

Regarding Lidar, I think the upcoming PDMovie Smart Motor will be a better option for solo shooters.

[@JoATTech]

Thanks for the heads up .... :o. This is what I need.

[@andrew_nayes]

Definitely! Seems like the reviewer talked alot about the con that is the spaghettimonster you get from the cables using the DJI setup. The PDMovie Live Air 3 Smart has ZERO cables! Definitely a better buy for most people.

[@CerneStudios]

About 9:58 check the Alvin’s Cables 2 in 1 Charging D-tap to NP-F Dummy Battery Coiled Power Cable, it’s a double npf dummy battery that will provide power to your monitor and receiver via npf 👍

[@wilthomas3]

During our live on field football production by our high school student film crew.

[@motionpikczer]

But where to buy this magic cable from DJI? it's not available anywhere :(

[@benjhaisch]

I just want a video on that honeyburst Les Paul

[@SamHolland]

🤩 new channel maybe??? 🎸

[@jordanw24]

Love it! Super excited for these. ALSO, what hair product do you use??? It held strong in the wind. Looking for something like that myself 😂 Thanks for the video!

[@SamHolland]

😂👏🏻🎥 thanks for watching

[@MicroFourNerds]

So noob question, the LiDAR takes over the AF entirely, so you can use it on a camera that has pants AF… like, say, the GH5 😆 asking for a friend.

[@SamHolland]

That’s correct! 👌🏻 check this out, em kzbin.info/www/bejne/npa5ZmN3iN-Wq9k

Love the new talking angle mate, anamorphic bc why not 🤣 Squintin' Tarantino....

[@SamHolland]

Thanks brother 😂 yeh why not?! 🎥

[@raizelamie7738]

Every Company should follow DJI, they appreciate and listen to their customer so much

[@hitmusicworldwide]

Is the feed encrypted? That's a huge range to literally broadcast your shoot. Same thing goes for wireless audio. Most video and audio gear heads never think about wireless security as they have little network experience or sensibility. Audio transmitters on all the time can pick up any audio even in the background between shots and clarified with sound processing. Never forget security to protect your content before release.

[@mercurious6699]

very nice, thank you

[@nathanbrooks88]

I'd love to know more about your lighting setup for the opening shot. ❤

Great video! Just subscribed, keep up the great work! 👍

[@SamHolland]

Thank you James 🤩🙏🏻🎥

[@perplexer731]

Thank you Sam for the introduction. Awesome. The hub will be ordered immediately. Have you installed the latest FW for the DJI monitor and set the fan mode to "low noise"? You can hear the fan, yes, but it is very quiet.

[@piotrszubryt1510]

They need to change the mounting part because its too high for most of the cases. Question: Can you control lidar thru transmission? OR its focusing only middle of the screen? Does the face tracker works with this?

[@Kashilembo]

DJI is truly dominating the market with their sleek designs, impressive product quality, and advanced functionality. This is definitely going on my list of must-have items. your video is both informative and outstanding as usual.

[@SamHolland]

Thank you! 🙏🏻🎥

[@jayymorris5285]

No but for real DJI and Small Rig are my literal saviors

[@annebokma4637]

I like the lidar unit, can it be used without the transmitter? Don't need transmission

[@peffken8834]

It's great, practical, affordable - but nothing what will change videography, it will it make in some cases easier, but nothing that can be done any other way. Apart from that, handmade or irregularities have their charm and honesty. It also acts mechanically and not organically. If you film alone and have the money, it's a great solution.

[@SebastianReimers]

Great video! Awesome to see, that you can use it with equipment of other manufacturers! :)

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Sam (as always) I think I'm a while away from using these! but i know where to come to to review them! Thanks for sharing

Thank you 🙏🏻🤩🎥

[@DamienPeden]

4:36 what's the light in the background please?

[@impact20twenty]

Want ALL OF IT !!!!! 🤣🤣. So when making the change to cine/manual focus lenses and wanting face AF we need to get the DJI Lidar sensor, the spidery thingy and the dji monitor (what's it called again?)

[@SamHolland]

Hey. You’ll need the LiDAR range finder, cable hub (spider thingy), and either DJI gimbal RS3 pro or the high bright monitor 👍🏻🎥

[@johnclay7644]

informative video thanks Sam

[@SamHolland]

Thanks John

[@NickHimo]

I love a dedicated case too! 🤩

[@SamHolland]

They’re the best. I think it says a lot about us, too, don’t you think? 😛😂

[@Mexploitation]

Autofocus annoys me, I love the look given by a focus puller. What if you want to rack focus, the timming in switching focus has a wonderful retro look, Autofocus feels like video

[@sadatproduction9850]

amazing video mate

[@SamHolland]

Thank you

[@B1TN3RD]

Nice system, I was waiting for such kind of a solution. However I don't like the amount of cables around the camera... I am going to test the PDMovie Live Air 3 Smart, since it is a super compact all in one solution for my RED Komodo.

[@charlespokeradventures]

As I went to the page to see the price, is is horrible no, but a average YT content maker, I don't see it. It was a great video, and I like how you showed the good and so-so part off the system.

[@RewildingFilms]

You'd think the Lidar system could sort of clip on to a lens, get calibrated to somebody moving back and forward (ie Confirm: In Focus?), get synced with the focus throw, and just be good to go. Or Lidar/autofocus built into lense sets etc. It seems so under-utilised.

[@GoranStepic]

I am confused: at kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWaWaWV8qbNmnsU why would anyone connect the receiver to the DJI Ronin 4D? IMO only transmitter make sense to send the signal to external monitors?

[@MeetupvideoUK]

yeah, sound strange

[@OrigEntertainmentOfficial]

Could you test if it's compatible with the raveneye?

[@stephanes.]

Panasonic is implementing the Lidar from DJI on their S5II and S5IIx

[@VideoBaseie]

Is the lidar device only for center framing? I assume it will only adjust focus for whatever is right down the center of the frame?

[@SammyAVasquez]

Does that whole set up work with subject tracking on the gimbal?

[@ZBSstudioBE]

does the Lidar system focus only in the middle of the frame?

[@SamHolland]

Hi. No there are more modes which I explain in the other video at the end 🤩🎥🙏🏻

[@ErisedMediaCo]

So can you use the range finder without a gimbal if you have the high bright monitor? I have an RS2 with NO reason to get an RS3 so that’d be amazing!

[@SamHolland]

Yes that’s right. You can calibrate the lens profiles using the monitor, then JUST use the cable hub and transmitter for it to work 💪🏻🎥

[@msr3995]

Hi sam What camera you use in your house ?

[@SamHolland]

Hi. I use the Lumix S5ii with the 24mm lens 🎥

[@s1opp]

Does DJI make a lav mic that has a built in clip, or even a magent?

[@lucrativestance]

Do you have gimbal/ camera controls via app if you use that transmitter?? Or strictly ronin app only?

[@gmarmaduraexotics]

Nice, great review.. however many folks are selling there pro gear that's in the film industry. I'd personally start saving on certain things not related to the topic but be prepared as things are getting ready to tumble.

[@wubbsy]

If I’m correct they implemented the functionality for the LiDAR some time ago. You just needed USB C and it would work standalone.

[@spdcrzy]

DJI, Sony, Sirui, Tamron, Rode, NiSi...SO many companies just absolutely killing the game right now. I don't think we've ever had it this good.

[@JS-rh6cs]

8:50 what happens when you hold your stuff to the side of the frame? doesn't work or, just in the middle middle?

[@jpobrien1973]

Could I use the live video feed from this in a feed to my computer to say, give us a roaming camera for a livestream event?

[@monksom]

amazing

[@BenPhoenixFilm]

The auto-focus test is looking pretty soft. Calibration issue?

[@RAXITH_playz]

7:37 sorry again but why you need this? Doesn’t Dslr nowadays have autofocus built in??

[@SamHolland]

When you want to use cinema lenses. They are manual focus

Hey Sam! U should get Celtic Thunder to let you use "Danny Boy," as back ground music soundtrack (gratis) with this video. Then it would be perfect. 😎😎

[@jacobgarcia3877]

By “gimbal” are you still referring to needing the rs3 to use it or could it work with an rs2?

[@SamHolland]

Hi. Currently it’s the RS3 pro you need for this 👌🏻🎥

[@SRG-Learn-Filmmaking]

Could you put in the zoom ring and calibrate it to be always zoom on somebody?

[@VintageStoneFilms-p4n]

Can I plug this into the RavenEye and charge it as well? I'm doing active track for keynote speeches for 8 hours straight. Everything else I can power for the full day -not the RavenEye though. Pretty important considering I need that for active track and it runs out of batteries after 4 hours when it's plugged into the Ronin and supposably gets a charge from that. am I missing something? I need more power, Scotty!

[@AngeloRyanMaalat]

we're so close to lidar cine anamorphic lenses, just a little too expensive and convoluted and time consuming to be usable for a run and gun. but we are SO CLOSE

Loved your videos before, trouble is now, you have completely out classed most of your subs, equipment wise. Most of us can't afford 2,5 K for a Bluetooth transmitter/monitor. Bring back the old videos with the basic affordable kit!

[@MoritzWeller]

Lovin the content, found you in my recommended feed! Small sidenote: As the majority of the video was 21:9 talking head content, I wonder why you publish it as a 16:9 video? Watching this on a 21:9 monitor was a bit painful as i constanly looked at a pillarboxed+letterboxed small video losing a lot of detail I could have seen when the video would be published in 21:9 right away! I don't think publishing in 21:9 would have had any downsides for regular 16:9 viewers? /Edit: ok thinking again about it, all the 16:9 content would have had the same effect (pillarbox+letterbox) for 16:9 viewers.. So probably a valid decision to keep the video at 16:9 because 21:9 monitors are pretty niche.
