Video

Hi Carlos, great video. So if I use a set up like yours and I want to edit the video in FCP, can I seperate the audiotracks in FCP? Because now I film with an iPhone using only one Rode wireless go receiver with two transmitters and I only get a mono audio file in FCP which I cannot split.

little follow up question: is it possible to trim a long RAW clip and export a shortened raw clip?

The lens looks Rad! I may add it to my system.

So the smallrig v mount wont power the komodo x? Im not sure what battery info means im new here

Mine has had this since 12/20

Does it sound good in a untreated room and can you use it as a boom mic above you

funny kkkkk am watching now I think I missed this one . kkkk today c70 is even better .

Just saw Sandisk announcement for 8tb sd cards today.

I think bro just underexposed Slog3 then tried to bring it up in post and got grain... pathetic

I have a year 24 MYP

I just discoverd these lenses. I am thinking of getting a set next year. Thanks for the video.

How do you think the r5ii image quality will perform against the c70?

I have my R5 mark 2 and there is no shutter angle in video mode that I have seen in the menus :( Other than that the canon R5 Mark 2 is a good upgrade from the R5

What are your tips in really low light for the Sony A7S3? What settings would you use at 100,000 and lower?

How to convert 65grid to 33grid lut to input in sony latest cameras?

Excellent points on the positive and the negatives on the camera Carlos I appreciate your honest, insight, as opposed to the “they flew me out and paid my hotel. I’m gonna be honest with you I promise“ initial reviews. I got back into photography about a year and a half ago after a 20 year break. I had always used the Canon ecosystem and still had a few EF lenses so I jumped back in on the canon side with an R6MII (on sale) with the intention of upgrading to the R5MII when it came out. I am almost exclusively a still photographer, 75% Landscape, 25% wildlife and some Astro-landscape although I have played with more video lately. Being new to the digital world, but an experience photographer I agree 100% with your “give us a tool for the appropriate workflow” thought process. I considered the Sony A7V and have mentally went back-and-forth, questioning my decision over the last year but after reviewing the true Spec information at launch, I think I will be quite happy with the R5MII, especially on the wildlife side. That said, if I had jumped in initially with an R5, I don’t think I would be upgrading. Two disappointments - I was really hoping for a 60 megapixel stacked sensor, even if the speed drop down to 20 frames per second and I was also hoping for two CF slots. Keep up the great work.

At 4:35 sec was the outside area clipped? It didn't look like it. You also didn't grade that footage down to match the at 7:38 sec. Why not? Also, adjusting ISO on the Komodo moves dynamic range stops to the right or left meaning to the highlights or to the shadows. It doesn't work like other cameras. That's in the Komodo user guide. It also looks like the footage at 7:38 has a different f/Stop . The first clip looks sunny because of the window exposure and the other looks like a different day and dark. I don't think either ones is graded properly. What did the stop signs give you?

Learn the Komodo and read the manual.

omg, 1 minute in and I still don't know what you're going to talk about and this video if for 1 hour?

What is everybody moaning about? It's not going to cook you some dinner, is a technological marvel. Auto focus alone is massive it pretty much does everything you could ask for just look at the manual. You'll all be eating your words once you've had it in your hands for a couple of weeks. Ordered mine!

I would really like to know the answer to that questions, there was much certainty but likely 800/4000 on R5ii/clog2. I honestly think that my whole basis of buying this camera would be based on the noise, base ISO's and Dynamic range. Why can't they put a Circuit on all the ISO :). We have yet to see a proper CineD or Gerald undone sensor test, therefore I can't in good conscience pre-order this camera as it needs to be at least better then the R5C, and to that point, better then the fX3 to be considered. I honestly don't care about RAW video at this point. I just care about CLOG2. But if the c70 is any indication .....this camera should and has to be able to outdo the C70 too. Which means that this Camera could indeed get a "Stops SNR=2" score of 13.5 which would mean that its in the ARRI Alexa Mini LF territory, which means, I would need to buy it :), and on another note, Sony Made the ZV-E1 and ZV-e10ii too good and too cheap although with some serious overheating caveats. update, I just watched a CZcams video, its definitely only 800/4000, no third base, the footage got quite noisy around 12800, and definitely not useable at 25600. Likely much less noisy in CLOG3

It's really interesting, but do you have to record on an atomos ninja to get raw, or can you get it directly from your camera without using an external recorder?

Yeah, I don’t see why Canon wouldn’t want to share any correction with other companies…why, they’d sell more lenses

This will probably end up being "The dogs bollocks of cameras for a couple of years"

You had better get used to the computing power of cameras being used to improve images as "seen" through the lens. My question is, would distortion be visible if you used the system as designed. Canon and every other camera manufacturer is or soon will be doing the same thing. Why do you think Canon doesn't allow third parties?

CZcams Canon schills are just script repeaters.

and it still overheats

If if makes you feel any better, Sony lenses are just as bad. I adapted (and tested) all of my Sony lenses on the Nikon Zf and they showed similar results. Lots of distortion and vignetting. Best to use first party lenses with any camera.

the r5c battery was worse than r5. the problem youre comparing r5c to r5ii. which shows r5cii would be better if you can wait for it.

the oversampled 4k60p was not in r5 as well, only in r5c. so you can wait for r5cii. that would have all what you want and more features. this is an upgraded r5 only. not an upgraded r5c.

How do you know it’s not Red doing the massaging? We all know Nikon recently acquired Red. Maybe you should investigate the other hybrid, the 24-105 2.8 Z, then compare it to a non hybrid RF glass, while you’re at it, including an equivalent EF glass. You need to be very careful, Canon could potentially go after unsubstantiated claims, freedom of speech can blow up bank accounts and you know that.

I don't think canon market their EOS R lenses for non-Canon bodies. It's RED that says you can mount RF lenses. No one says you'll get corrections for your RED :/. But thanks for the video, good point.

It's a size and weight thing, in relation to cost. For instance, the main reason Leica lenses are so expensive isn't because they are optically superior to say other 50mm lenses by other manufacturers. Rather it's because they are on par or slightly better optically but are physically much smaller. It's expensive to do because for miniaturization the corrective elements need to be much more precise and with deeper parabolic grinds. It's the opposite approach than say Zeiss cine lenses (like the Arri branded ones) which are giant, so they don't have to be as aggressive with their grinds and can therefore ultimately be optically superior. Canon is trying to have their cake and eat it too. Make compact, light lenses with sub-par distortion optically (dictated by manufacturing cost), and instead leverage their developed software for a one-time cost to fix them all.

The RF 24-105 has the same thing. It's my favorite lens on my r3, but if you use it without lens corrections on the vignette is crazy

Thanks so much. So helpful. 👍

i mean the one that need to adapt and roll out update for the body isnt canon? u cant blame canon for that

Great video. I noticed disparity between Canon lenses on Canon vs Red cameras and we talked about it over a year ago. Red ended up doing some compensating in a firmware update to deal with RF lenses . Canon lenses going forward will probably continue requiring some compensation by camera manufacturers (at this point only Canon and Red for RF lenses) to perform optimally.

Are the same issues as prevalent when using older EF L lenses with an adapter on your same body?

I would have to bite the bullet , take the loss , and move to a different system. Canon is the new Adobe.

crazy thumbnail

Its lens design, if a lens need to have a large aperture opening, edge sharpness, good bokeh at several distances and at larger to mid size aperture openings, no to little CA, superb AF and very good color rendition also coherent with other lenses and on top of that it needs to be small and lightweight, I think that’s impossible that’s why there are compromises in lens design. Cinema glass compromises on size and weight and no AF. These type of lenses compromise on distortion and vinjetting. There are so many different lenses to choose between, just get the ones you want. It works better to assume your power of choice instead of looking at what wrong someone else has done to you. Two different aspects of life. Which do you want to promote?

Really interesting take! Maybe there will be a firmware update in the future for the RED to accommodate the new lenses? If I remember correctly it took a while for the improved AF on KOMODO to be implemented via firmware after the release of the RF lenses. Btw what are the cabinets you have your cameras in? On the left in the back ground?

Same silly argument I often hear from video shooters; why doesn't this all-round camera do better than my specialty video system?

Canon is designing some of their current lenses in such a way that they require distortion correction either in camera or in post. I think this is most likely a cost-saving measure. The RF 14-35 f4 is a good example. You can tell this is a design decision because the lens is essentially a 12 mm lens at the wide end until you apply the distortion correction at which point it becomes 14 mm.

absolutely atrocious

I'm mainly a stills shooter, but this amount of distortion is simply not acceptable for me, even on a native Canon body, for a 1900 Euro L series prime: profile corrections are so strong that they severely affect corner sharpness and resolution. Owning the RF 1.2 primes, I waited a long time for Canon to come with an RF L 35mm, but now I seriously consider buying the EF 35L II instead.

Hasn’t canon always had in-body lens profile corrections though? It not much different than putting a EF 16-35 on a black Magic body. There’s no corrections.
