Video

it's pretty solid, the Panasonic s9 is pretty dope too though. I may do some comparisons down the line!

Thank you and I’ve since updated it, added more weight to my rig but this was my first instance so it’s been a learning curve.! Def appreciate the pro tips, I am thinking of doing a follow up video on this for new users like myself!

I actually did a home photoshoot with it and found it to be useful but it depends. Would this be your only camera? If so I think having swappable lenses will be valuable to you! I like the Fuji but I also have the s5ii , fixed lens is fun but def not as versatile for need the versatility!

@@11.Pierre Ok got you, thanks for the info bro! Much appreciated..

This was with the speed booster ! It works fine. Slight vignette in the corner but you can crop

It’s worth it

I have the BP to v mount adapter for the Komodo, so it powers the Komodo from there. then I use 2 ports to power the lidar/grip. I removed the grip in the video and replaced it with a DJI power base that plugs into the v mount.

Thank yiu!

def adds more life to your camera!

haters going to hate lol but we all know lights matter. you do too, I peeped your content. keep up the great work, get back to posting. it's annoying but someone needs to see and learn from you, so this is another sign for you to do it!

Thanks for the support

that's a lot of power, I'm sure it will be useful !

quick update, just discovered that Amazon has the SD version of the 600w going for $439. def worth a look if you have a return window on the 500w and could use more power but don't care as much about the updated design.

lol trust me bro, I feel you. My first set of lights was $120 for 2 panels (Neewer) but yeah if you compare these to Aputure they are affordable! (Or the higher lights in general) But trust I been there before lol. On the low end you can get a 60w light for maybe $120 but the 150w version was about $315 when I originally got it. I grew to this 🤣, it took a long ass time. Thanks for the comment though!

no problem!!

nope! you can use it with or without! the v mount powers it so you're good.

lmao for me probably so for others, they would say this is cheap lmao

thanks def a great pickup!

Can you explain this a little more? You wanna see if it works without them being plugged into the grip itself? So you could theoretically have it wireless like the other focus wheel they sell?

@@11.Pierre exactly. I see another creator use it whith the pro grip and for that he just plug the lidar and motor on usb. And when he power on the big grip it just connect wirelessly. My theory is they need power but not connection. Sorry for my English, I'm French.

@NineSevenPictures got it, I will check this and message you back to confirm

@@11.Pierre thanks for your help 🙏🏾

Still tweaking it, tbh I’ve seen people mount close to body and close to lens. But I actually have a longer magic arm (+ extra hot shoe , this way I can try both methods properly) coming later today. My handle was taking up space lol, I’ll talk more about this in my full video. DJI says get it close to camera sensor, other youtubers had it close to lens. So we’ll see but so far it seems to work either way (it allows you to input the distance on the system which you manually measure) but I’ll circle back. Trust, that was 1 of the tricky things about setting it up that confused me as well. I’ve never used lidar at all until this week. From what i noticed, it seems you want to get it as close to the field of view as the lens because the lidar works damn good. Whatever box is highlighted on the lidar screen is what will be in focus so I can see why others had it near lens but I’ll be testing it more to confirm.

Haha, it’s the same. I only got this one because I just found it locally at a decent price, otherwise the regular is what I would’ve gotten it. Def no need to get this if you can get the normal one in your city!

🤝🏾🤝🏾🤝🏾

Yeah I couldn’t seem to find the answer in the sponsored videos I was watching but it works fine. Just another way to use it for those of us who don’t need the handleb

I believe it auto switches based on which hand you use !

Honestly didn’t taste it lol,

Crazy crazy times but it was a great device !

I enjoyed it for sure, it def was a nice switch / perspective ! Could’ve been better but def still dope to watch

lol no need, I have an s5ii which is better. Now to your point, if I'm someone who only can afford one - easy go A7C or S5II. Something like this is more for collectors, or people who have extra money to spend. Photography has never been something I was heavy into, it's leisure for me. So my buying needs (or wants) will be entirely different but I have a buddy with the a7c - he loves it. It reminds me of my old a6300 which at the time was the best value on the market! My point is, a camera with swappable lenses is what you should always get first vs. a fixed lens camera unless of course - you're purely just doing street photography.

I wouldn’t say it fully covers but you can tweak the settings and get use out of it. 50mm is more ideal but at the time I was really interested in a wider lens. I love this look but this is a process. My 35mm great joy is far more easier to use/ideal. But for 2x this works great !

Wow, shocked to hear this

thank you!

thank you!

Thanks for tapping in and sure thing, your video was 1 of the ones I originally found. What part of Texas are you in? and yes, I still haven't added my Crane 3s onto but have just been practicing more and more with it to help on my film project. I'm loving it and the more I learn about the steadicam, the better value this actually becomes to me. We got a lot of good feedback at NAB when people were demo'ing it but yeah man I'll tap in with yoU!

I see now, ATX. I actually have a brother out there who does photography/videography as well.

11.Pierre on Ig

thank you!

thank you!

SmallRig makes a baseplate for the crane 3s, so yes its possible. I've mounted my RS3 Pro on it before.

yup works fine!

It's possible to attach the new RS4 ?

@@carminedepaola8018 yes, use the pendulum to properly balance the rig

works fine with the L mount lenses (no sound) and on my sigma 18-35 you can barely here it. on my older lenses (20 years old, its louder) but it works great!

Haha 🎉

Thank you London!

thank you and likewise !!

I have not tried it yet!

not yet but that's the plan. It ships with a pendulum which is what you would need for that setup so it can be done!

we had a demo setup of this while at NAB just last week!

​@@11.Pierrewhat does the pendulum do?

@@bladerunner983 its suppose to act as a counterweight when rotating the gimbal on the steadicam. I've seen it used without like in the video but was also told that it was needed

@@11.Pierre Really? I thought it was like truck nuts for Steadicam...
