It does seem to be hit or miss. Some of the stuff was great for the price but some of the other stuff like you said feels a bit cheap.

I have I use the potkeys monitor on my Komodo. That monitor has camera control for some cameras which this monitor does not. I think overall I prefer the picture the most on the video assist, then the portkeys and then this monitor. Both the porkeys and the video assist are definitely more accurate than this monitor.

@@thatcameranerd Thankyou . Bit cheaper too. I overall like the idea of a monitor, but it is another camera thing that I am trying to not waste money on. I am only making marketing stuff for my business, so I would rather not spend a fortune on it, but at the same time, I am not a professional, so any assistance they can give me is an advantage, but I don't think I want to spend 5-600 on a proper fancy one. I am leaning heavily towards the portkeys. Just so affordable. It is a price where if I decided down the road I wanted a nicer one, I wouldn't feel bad for wasting too much money too. Thanks a lot for the reply

@jamesmcconnon2 I haven’t used the cheaper portkeys monitor but I did see they make one for a similar price. But I think if you don’t want to spend a lot on a monitor that has features you don’t need then the portkeys or this monitor are good options. Like you said it’s not worth spending a fortune if all you need is a bigger screen to see what your shooting

@@thatcameranerd 100 percent. Thanks a lot for replying. Very helpful.

I have checked the manual but like you said it doesn’t tell you. I’ve sent an email to ask so once they get back to me I’ll update here.

Hi, one TPmini transmitter can only be paired with one receiver.

Thank you. I believe I used Dehancer for that. www.dehancer.com you can use the following code for a 10% Discount: HELPIMANERD But they also have trial version if you just want to give it a try

That’s a really good point. For me I have no idea what camera I could be using 5 years from now but if you’re in the Sony ecosystem and your not planning on going anywhere then you could definitely pick up smaller and cheaper cinema lenses. For me the goal is full frame PL so I can use them on hopefully any camera I have going forward. But great point 😊

No the handle that blackmagic offer is extra at around £198

Now they just need to release the thing 😂

@@thatcameranerd oh shoot your right 😂

The Arri cameras are really nice to operate and use, I think for me it’s just the size and price. With all the options available today it’s a tuff choice. I like the look of the canon c400 looks interesting

​@@thatcameranerd You can get an ARRI AMIRA for $13-15k with low hours and a 4K license. It's almost the same price as an FX9 or a fully rigged Komodo X. However, I also prefer the size and weight of the KX ;-) On the other hand, upon reflection, It didn’t really bother me; it was heavy for sure (AMIRA), but in a good way. I remember having to run once with the camera on my shoulder, and the shot looked great! I think, it depends on our style of shooting and the type of projects we do. Personally I mostly do shoulder and handheld shots, but if you prefer gimbals, that's a no-go for sure. From my side, I mainly shoot commercials in a documentary style, music videos, and sports events. Currently, I'm preparing for my first true feature-length documentary (I've already filmed for other documentary directors as a dp, but this time I'm the director). I also have some short film projects in progress. I tested the Komodo and was thoroughly impressed. I particularly like the global shutter, which suits my shooting style, and the Red RAW capabilities. Moreover, it offers more discretion and can be easily used on gimbals when needed. I have an FX3 and FX6 right now; so I don't think I really need the C400 to be honest. When I do bigger projects, I rent cameras (mostly ARRI or RED), and I was thinking of getting one because, after a while, it starts to get pricey, when I think about the number of days I've already rented these cameras.

@JeanSebastienLEGER yea that makes sense if that’s the camera you’re renting. I think you also have the pick the camera that gets you excited to use it. I would love to own an Alexa mini. I used to rent that camera a lot but not so much these days. I think every DP dreams of owning an Alexa one day 😂

If you have a small rig it’s perfect 👌

It was a great deal

The 17-50 didn't work on many mount.. dsmc2, z cam, sigma mc21 adapteur, canon rf adapter.. and laowa don't want to refound me😢 it's a PL lens or mirrorless but almost impossible to use the EF mount

Yea I think plenty of cameras have good super 35 modes and I often just have my 18-35. I know a friend of mine was considering these lenses for that same camera. I think it’s a shame to not have something full frame but maybe the size and weight are more important.

@@thatcameranerd thanks for the reply! These look so good for the price. Keep up with the great videos!

@MarquelCoaxum yea they’re tuff to beat for the price. Thank you 🙏

That's why Tamron FE 17-50 f/4 comes in clutch for Sony shooters. It covers a unique FF focal range at a cost of only $700 and at a weight of only 550g.

It looks like they are in fact releasing interchangeable mounts on B&H. Plus they are FF versions of these Lenses just note the “lite” versions.

I would say that the Kelvin play is probably the brighter of the two as its 10w vs the MC pro's 5W

You can probably see the decline in her enthusiasm as the videos go on 😂

I have seen a modded version of one of these lenses were someone converted it from an mft mount to an rf mount. Check out this and see if it helps you nofilmschool.com/sirui-lenses-conversions

​@@thatcameranerdthank you❤

Nice!

@@thatcameranerd Might be tempted to trade my 2 Lumix S1H for 2 Pyxis instead..

@livestreamsuk6004 I think the Pyxis is going to sell well. Pre orders must be good to offer the cinema camera at a discount

Think of all the kit you could get with the money 😂

@@thatcameranerd 🤣🤣🤣

A friend of mine who was considering the Pyxis decided the saving was too good to pass up and went for this deal instead. Maybe the deal will be back in a few months

It was a great price, I can't believe how quickly it came and went. You had to be quick to snap one up.

@@thatcameranerd yes, 4 days of sale only as far as I can tell
