For note taking you would probably be better off with the new ipad air and the bigger size version if you have the budget

@@thomasorf7425 but will that 60hz in air feels lag while note taking please let me know as pro is 120 hz? Will I miss smooth experience while note taking in air ?

1000% disagree. Z Cams are amazing cameras, huge value, they produce gorgeous images and have many more features and functionality than the BM cameras. The only thing missing from Z Cam is internal raw. I'll be release a video in the future discussing the Z Cam F6.

This is a strange question but to answer, this camera is compatible with everyone! LOL

Tilta is great, I also own the Nucleus Nano grip and focus wheel as well as the Nucleus 2 control dial. Amazing products. Enjoy it!!

What did you not like about it?

@@DynamicPhil84 where to begin since im a run and gun type of shooter this camera has jello effect like really bad, the camera would sometimes switch off mid shoot, some items it wouldnt turn on, it bled vmount batteries, ergonomics of this was ass and the memory reading was inaccurate. nice image for what its worth but far too much of a headache for me i had all the fancy cables/card etc for teh same price a canon would have been better

@@MachinaExplorer man that sucks that you had such an experience. I haven't put the camera through its paces yet but I thankfully have box cameras that are much heavier duty and reliable in difficult situations. I don't shoot a lot of fast moving action so rolling shutter isn't as much of an issue for me thankfully.

@@DynamicPhil84 oh teh plastic feel of the body wasnt great with heavy lens felt as if the mount will snap off as its only held via screws. i do think most cameras should not have the buzz words like "cinema" in the name just like sony fx line theyre just glorified video cameras. and yes box cams for film is much preffered. for me to buy another BM cam they gottah do something fancy to catch my attention like how ARRI/RED do

Interesting that you would say that since I thought all cameras needed to shoot at higher ISO during low light scenes. Such a low ISO would have heavily underexposed the highlights in the situations I was using this camera.

@@DynamicPhil84 red works backwards of what you would think. Reds get consistent 16 stops of DR. At iso800, you get 8 stops highlight and 8 stops in the shadows. Say u move a stop from 800 to 1600... You're now getting 9 stops of highlights and 7 stops of shadows. In the inverse, shooting at iso400, you get 9 stops in the shadows and 7 stops in the highlights, and so on. It sounds crazy but when it's crazy sunny out, you want to shoot and protect your highlights by shooting at a higher iso... When it's lowlight you want to shoot lower isos, to reduce noise because you're now prioritizing your DR in the shadows. Trust me.. watch the red videos they post on CZcams, this is vastly different than normal mirror less camera isos, that add gain to the sensor when you go above their base/native iso. Red's sensor gain is static.. it does not change. ISO200 all the way to 12800 has the SAME gain. The only thing you're doing is choosing whether to prioritize your DR in the highlights or shadows by going above or below 800. 800 is not native iso (as red's don't have a native iso) but it's where it's balanced, 8 in the shadows, 8 in the highlights. Do your research and you'll see a ton of info red puts out about this.

I'm not a huge fan of distortion but I do find it fairly appealing on this lens. Thanks!

I wish there was a good local camera shop in my area, but sadly that is not the case. Fuji definitely botched this launch, but I'm not mad at them about it like some people are, because they never could have predicted just how popular the camera would be. B&H and other sites should have stopped taking preorders after a certain number though as they really got A LOT of people's hopes up that they would be getting their hands on this camera in any sort of timely fashion.

Haha thanks ;)

Thanks!! I think MVs are great too but it's nice to talk with the cosplayers and get to know them a bit 😀

I do love the tiny form factor. Using an external monitor is sometimes a bit difficult since the camera is so small, the monitor can overwhelm the form factor somewhat. I haven't used the fp with the atomos mainly because I am not a fan of prores raw. Much much prefer Braw. But if you have a good setup and you like working with prores raw, then you should be able to rely on the image being recorded. I'd recommend an hdmi cable holder to make sure the cable stays securely connected. The micro hdmi port on its own is not the most secure.

So cool how you are using this camera! It is quite versatile due to the insanely small size. I also completely agree with you regarding color science. Canon and Sony color science has always felt bland and just OK to me. They are not pushing the boundaries like Fuji or Sigma. Even when Canon released their newer C709 LUT, it was decent sure, got the job done in a pinch, but there was nothing unique or innovative about it.

Picked one up on FB marketplace, but didn't notice a busted pogo pin on the lens connector, so I had to send it for repairs... Can't try it for another couple of weeks, sadly.

@@VasilisOfficeHoursOh no that's too bad! I'm sure you will love it once you get it fixed. It's a quirky camera, but the image and the colors are just so lovely and I think they make up the problems that I have with it.

Audio is something I am still working to improve. But I will always choose the music that I feel works well for the content I am creating and that also pleases me to listen to. So if you feel the music is out of place, I'm not sure what else to tell you then to turn down the volume and turn on captions. This is music that I enjoy, so be it.

​@@DynamicPhil84you just need to compress and saturate and eq your voice, it's easy :)

@@emanuelezamboni6782Thanks I am still working on leveling out my audio to sound better. If you have any suggested tutorials on this, please share.

@@DynamicPhil84​ Put some compression on the voice, there's also a lot of mouth and lip noises, which can be made better with a different mic setup and some VST plugins. You overall want to have a consistent levels across the clip, if it goes from loud to quiet and back that can be very jarring, so a comfortable consistent level is preferrable. With music and voice combined you can employ auto-ducking to make the music quieter once you start speaking. What DAW software do you use for audio post-production?

@@VasilisOfficeHoursThanks for your feedback this is very helpful! I do all of my editing in Resolve and have mainly been using the built in voice isolation and dialogue leveling tools. I have not spent much time exploring the in-depth audio tools in Resolve, but I'm sure these features are there. If you wouldn't mind sharing an example of where in the video you feel that the audio levels change too dramatically, that will help. I had thought that my audio levels were quite consistent throughout, but I guess not. Also, I am using a Rode wireless mic setup but I do not have a lavalier attachment. Maybe I should invest in one of those?

They are ALL amazing cameras and will just depend on what your workflow and needs are for storytelling. Did you watch the whole video? I clearly feel that the C70 is an absolutely fantastic camera. Overtime though, I decided it just wasn't quite the right tool for me. Of the 3 you mentioned though, the Komodo clearly has the superior image and for me that's the most important thing at the end of the day.

I was considering the Komodo recently because color science is important to me too but having to plug/unplug the SDI cable only while powered on just isn’t practical for me. It seems that many have blown out their SDI because they forgot to unplug the cable first.

@@dylankitchener8350 I think it's much more important to have the camera's power source attached and having some juice left in it to ensure no blow out issues with the SDI cable. I've had the battery die on my monitor while the cable was plugged into the monitor and the Komodo, and it didn't burn out the SDI port. I've also turned off the Komodo while the cable was plugged in once or twice before removing it, and the port was fine. Again, I think the main thing is having a power source that has juice connected to the camera when you unplug the cable, not that the camera necessarily needs to be turned on when unplugging (though that is RED's recommended best practice).

The 50th unique comment will be the winner, but I am not counting my own comments. Replies to others comments will count though.

Sorry that won't count LOL

Guess we'll have to see. You can share this post on your social media if you want to spread the word. Maybe your friends will comment for you.

good idea@@DynamicPhil84

Thank you!

Thank you Morty! 🙏 I wish I had more time with the KX to shoot during the day. Next time I am able to rent it for sure.

Oh nice man thanks for the tip! Do you have a link to the one that you purchased?

@@Nuggiesforall Tic Tacs and drone lollipops... these sound like yummy candy LOL Please share some links, I will definitely look into these, thanks!!

хотя это щячло, а не лицо

Thank you so much! Stay tuned to my channel for a full video recording of this year's Solstice event! (this video here is from 2022)

I actually rented the LiDAR scanner for this video, so my assumption is the cover was made or purchased by the rental company. You can check them out, they are called @LensRentals

@DynamicPhil84 copy that, I actually winded up making my own today on my printer. I appreciate your reply back 🙏🏼

Thanks! It depends on the camera. For the Red Komodo, I'd go with the Laowa Nanomorph lenses due to the 1.5x desqueeze x 16:9 sensor option which gives a nice final aspect ratio of 2.66:1.

Haha noted thank you

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for reaching out! I'll add your YT name to the description :) Great cosplay from both of you, I'm jealous of your Akira jackets 😆

For my needs and workflow, this camera provides more than the R5c. Just my opinion of course. As I said in the video, I'm not bashing the R5c, I know it's a great camera. Just didn't quite work for me.

@@DynamicPhil84 would you generally consider it better than the xH2 considering it is quite more expensive?

@@anotherintrospekt6596 It really depends on your needs. If you need a more balanced hybrid photo/video camera, my choice would be the Xh2. If you need a cinema camera that needs to be rigged up with additional external batteries and support, but also takes pretty solid photos, then go with the R5c. The R5c does have better video specs than the Xh2, no doubt about that (8k60 vs 8k30 and internal raw). On the photo side my preference will always be the Fuji as the color science is second to none. Best photos SOOC are from Fuji cameras.

@@DynamicPhil84 thank for this helpful response

Thanks so much glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

Hahaha! Don't worry about, we were in the moment and of course I didn't properly adjust the mic settings. It was a good learning experience for me. Loved your energy and getting to talk with you. Hope our paths will cross at a future con one day :)

That's so awesome, glad you discovered this video and got to see yourself! What a wild experience AX was! Loved every second of it.

Awesome!! Feel free to share this video and any clips of yourself on social media :)
