How Does a Speedbooster Work ? ( and Metabones vs Viltrox )
Vložit

- Tried to explain as best as I could how a speed booster works relative to crop factor if you're interested. Plus an unsponsored real life comparison between the Viltrox EF-M2 and Metabones Ultra 0.71x speedboosters. Note that this is the MkI version of the Viltrox EF-M2, the viltrox EF-M2 II is better. Please correct me if some things are unclear or if I'm wrong :) Hope you like it !

Many thanks to my friends Claire and Mathieu for their time and help for this video to whom goes the credit for the performance in the comparison shots.
The video was shot with an URSA Mini Pro and a Sigma 18-35mm ART lens, the comparison footage was shot with the same lens and a Blackmagic Pocket 4K Camera (BMPCC 4K). But you can also use a speed booster with the GH5 , GH5S or other micro four thirds based cameras.

Your production value alone is worthy of a million subs.
I was just about to comment about this. FREAKING AMAZING VIDEO QUALITY! DAMM!
He know how to edit video & effects!

Totally agreed.
This is the third video I've seen by you, and you're quickly becoming my favorite channel...in the world, on any topic.
The production value and accuracy and visuals are just absolutely insanely well-done.
Thank you so much for what you do.
Yes this, and "Media Devision" is beyond epic !
your channel is going to blow up soon with this level of content, keep up the good work!
yeye of crouse! last video was Published on 11 Jun 2019
Sadly not with this upload schedule
This video contains INCREDIBLE amount of ACCURATE information and amazing way to express it with visuals !!!!!!!
Cannot truly say enough to be fair on the AMAZING EFFORT !!!! Congradulations !!!!!!!!
One question , please : Can i use the Sigma 18-35/F1.8 with the XL0.64 Speedbooster , if i decide to use ONLY the 24mm-35mm Focal Length ??!!
Thank you ! I really care about the 9 minutes you spent watching the video, as much as you cared to watch it. Interesting, I'll test that when I have an XL in my hands and let you know. It should actually be OK because I've already used a (Full Frame) 5D Mark II with the 18-35 set at 35mm, vignetting was only very strong at 18. Let me check that once I have an XL to try !
@@zebrazone I really appreciate your response and your interest.
Your behaviour is exceptional.
You stand out among CZcamsRS , like a sunshine into the darkness. BRAVO,BRAVO,BRAVO !!!!!
When I use the sigma 18-35 on my GH5 with the Xl 0.64 Speedbooster it works the hole focal length as long as I'm filming. But with photos it starts to crop at around 23 when I'm in 4:3 mode. Don't know if its the same with the Blackmagic Pocket 4K? But they should have about the same size on the sensor. And with that camera you won't be taking any photos I'm guessing. @@HollywoodweddingfilmsGREECE
@@hatakekakashi938 Thank you for your input. Unfortunately Pocket 4K has a sensor 10% bigger/wider than GH5.
Pocket 4K = 18.96mm
GH5 = 17.30mm
As a result , it creates significantly more vignetting in the XL speedbooster. But i am not sure which focal lengths are affected by this , on the Sigma 18-35.
@@HollywoodweddingfilmsGREECE I rented BMPCC 4K last week, it came with Metabones Speedbooster EF/BMCC. When I've tried it with Sigma 18-35 and few Xeen Cine lenses I've noticed some aberrations and vignetting in the corners. I switched Metabones for my EF/M43 XL (x0,64) and image was crystal clear.
dude, your content is as sharp as the corners of the images on the metabones. congrats! hope u get million subs soon! u totally deserve it.
Your videos are absolutely amazing. Thank you for this comparaison. 👋🏼
It's really amazing how this channel keeps exceeding prevention, amazing work thank you for this amazing content and visuals!
hands down the very best video on this topic across the entire youtube. superb production value and presentation. I hope you have a video like this on every gear topic. would literally save me hundreds of hours of research.
Thanks for really doing the work to compare these two adaptors. Great production quality on these videos too.
Your videos are insanly great and this one doesn't make a change ! 😍 The image, the editing, the sound, the music, the informations and the clarity of it makes it so good! You're clearly a step upper than all the other tech reviewers.. Bravo! 👏
As always, great and unbiased work here and backed-up with solid visuals. We always look forward to your videos when we're getting new gear. Keep up the great work.
Superb content as always! Really nice comparison video. Can't wait to see more from you guys
This is the most informative and valuable source regarding Speedbooster that I’ve ever seen so far. Thumbs up for the detailed explanation.
Notifications are definitely on for this channel. I aspire that as I start my CZcams channel I can attain somewhere near the level of quality and attention to detail you put into every one of your videos so far. Keep up the great work, cheers.
Thank you. This is exactly the video I’ve been looking for. The quality of this channel is amazing. You’ll have 100k subs by the end of the year.
Glad you enjoy Clayton ! Thank you for your support, which means a lot.
Thank you. One of the best and most well done videos I have seen for a long time. I really appreciated the depth of understanding I gained on a topic and your use of visual aids and graphics. That is all very relevant for me right now as I'm about to buy the BMPCC 4k camera and continue my journey of discovery in this fascinating field.
This video is sooooo well made. Keep going, love❤️
Quite possibly the best tech review video on CZcams, and most definitely as it relates to focal reducers. This the best video in this category, by far. Thank you for this content.
The production value of this video is STUNNING! This is the first video I’ve seen from you and I’m extremely impressed. Lots of good unbiased information and no time wasted. The graphics were very professional as well. I’m definitely subscribing!
Thank you so much Matthew ! Means a lot.
Done. Subscribed. Saw your video yesterday and thought, okay... this is good. Was searching today for the viltrox vs metabones and I find you again with an incredibly specific problem I've been searching for online. Amazing work!
Another great video with quality analysis, engaging footage, and some very nice animations. Thanks again for a great video!
Need me a sailor shirt dose for the day ;)
I thought he was wearing a calibration chart 😁
I have never heard of you or seen any of your videos but the quality of this videos it’s amazing!
Thanks a lot Daniel !
Bro your videos are always awesome. Entertaining and informative. I never thought I'd get to use a Metabones Speedbooster but I got a kit that came with it. I can't wait to see what it does.
Great content! I know your Chanel will blow up soon! You got this!
a lot of people dont want the sharpest lens, so the viltrox would be perfect. Anamorphic lens do the same thing, and I love aberrations. It adds so much more to the camera, instead of an old boring sharp lens lol.
The best video related to speedbooster a had watch on CZcams. Congrats.
Great video, I've most definitely noticed the edge blurring from my viltrox at 18mm when getting wide shots with a deep DOF. I always wondered if it was the adapter or the lens, now I know. Thank you!
Nice info, production and editing. Subscribed!
I learnt a lot watching this insightful video. Very well put together with a lovely aesthetic . Thanks for spending the time making this.
Thank you very much !
You, my friend, actually made everything very easy to understand! You are also very accurate! Kudos and more power!
Thank you so much Alexander !
Tés vidéos sont d'une qualité incomparable ! La musique dans la première, la lumière/fumée dans celle-ci, wow... Continue!
Merci !!
You have the BEST production value for these videos! Thanks for making!
Thank you John !
Wow, thank you very well done and easy to understand. Thank you for taking the time to post this.
a great comprehensive video, no more confusion about metabones to BMPCC 4K
thank you my friend. this was the exact thing i was searching for. you explained soooo clearly! you earned a subscriber yar. hope to see more videos. love you.
Thank you ! Glad to read you :)
Great information and production quality. Your channel is sure to blow up.
Thank you :)
So happy u did another video, looking forward for the next one
Awesome and tightly presented Info.
Straight to the point. You answered ALL my questions . Thank you.
Very awesome video bro! liked and subscribed!
This is by far the best content i've seen! You deserve a much larger audience!
Thank you Jason !!
you're the best at this you explain it at a level where someone who doesn't know ANYTHING about cameras can understand, thank you!
REALLY GOOD VIDEO.SUBSCRIBED SINCE THE FIRST VIDEO RELEASE.
BEST video on this subject that you can find. Bravo! GR8 job!
Thank you so much Cliff !
I type in BMPCC 4K and of course it’s a dude wearing a sailor shirt with fog in the air for no reason...I expected nothing different. 😂
Thanks for this nice produced explanation! Very helpful informations and perfectly visually expressed! Super inspiring!
Everything is so well done! Keep it up
Excited to say that I was here before u got to 6 digit subscribers. 6.4k subs and counting. Crazy visuals and lighting.
Ur hairstyle and sailor style shirt is unique too. Got ur own style.
Your channel is very interesting and useful! I rarely subscribe to channels, but I subscribe to yours after the first video. The video was shot and edited at a very high level. Your videos are very informative! Please continue. PS: noticed an mistake at 00:07:08 - mixed height and width of the full-frame matrix) but it is not essential
Super nice, i didn't spotted the differences between these two speedbosters, thanks to you !
GREAT video with actual examples that answer all questions one may have. Liked and subscribed!
Thank you !
Seriously, this is turning into my favourite youtube channel. I am consistently impressed by the amount of work you put in your videos, and love the fact that the BMPCC4K is featured a lot, since I've recently ordered mine. Great job!
Thanks a lot Michael ! I really appreciate your kind words, because yes : it is a lot of hard work ! Hope you can go out and shoot with it soon !
@@zebrazone Yes, believe me I know 😊 I feel it should be emphasised at times when it's bleedin obvious. Again, top notch work. And best of all, very trustworthy, which should be your first goal!
DUDE!!! JUST THANKS MAN!! i was thinking about this, about there was another type of adaptor with better glass, saw about metabones and all of the sudden, all this type of question, came to youtube and you gave me all the answer! thx man!! cheers!
Great video. I’m curious if you adjusted/calibrated the viltrox’s focus at all or just used it out of the box. I haven’t done any adjusting myself but I’ve heard like the metabones you can adjust the infinity focus on the viltrox. Not sure if that would have any affect on what is happening on the edges of the frame using the viltrox. Cheers
you are the best content creator in this theme. Your style is very fresh and new. I feel you know something what i need to know :D Thanks informations!
Again, such a great pro-quality video!
Thank you for the full frame an not full frame comparison. I was looking for that all day. Instant subscriz
Dude, your channel is fantastic. You deserve far more subs. I'm sure it'll grow over time. Keep it up and thanks for the great content :)
Thank you Charles :)
I don't even need a speed booster and I still watched it all. Great video!
the magnifying glass-explanation was a perfect explanation for this, thank you
This comparison was really helpful, thanks a lot
You're production quality it's amazing. You definitely set a bar for what but I want to achieve when I start vlogging. I've been looking at the viltrox and the metabones. and I will likely go with the viltrox because the difference in quality towards the edges isn't as important to me as I shoot wide open. Did you see any changes when you stopped down?
This is super informative. Thank you. Subbed!
Great as always! Receiving my pocket 4K this weekend so I needed this info, thank you so much!
Hi excuse me which recording media solution would you recommend if I want to shoot 4k Prores Hq or so (Not raw) ... thank you :)
Mostly at 24fps and 60fps :)
When did you order it? I'm still waiting for mine! 😅
@@gregoryv3621 October 3, from B&H. I was told January 30, but they surprised me!
@@kalkimovie Wow ! What a surprise !
Came here after watching your switching to DR video. Excellent content
This video is amazing and very engaging! Love your content, SUBBED!
Once again, this channels is fucking AMAZING!!! Great job guys, keep it up, so much useful information, you totally bring a whole new level of clarity and production value to CZcams!
Excellent explanation and a very interesting test. Thanks ;)
A very clear and compact video. Tks
Amazing video, congrats!
Thank you for your great content. Just searching up this issue for last 5 days and suddenly you respond my questions :D Thank you...
Just felt like I took a whole semester of school in under 9 mins. Thanks :]
Unless you are making money with your cameras, Viltrox ALL THE WAY. There is absolutely going to be better footage with a $700 adapter vs a $70 adapter. Metabones overcharges to much and if they were in the $300 max range its still overpriced but I would have considered it. I have a Viltrox myself and work has metabones, yes Mete is nicer but for personal use, the price cannot be beat. I expect 10 times better performance for that price and it was better but not at that price. But again, Metabones is meant for those doing this for a living so they will charge high prices, I do like de-clicked on Metabones where Viltrox is clicked. Viltrox is all manual, a BMPCC will not use the cameras functions for Iris.
Metabones is like Autodesk, they charge so much because pros use it and can afford it, but their is the cheap version with far less for non-pros.
I have an active Canon EF lens with a Viltrox speedbooster. I can definitely confirm that the Viltrox will most definitely allow for electronic control of the iris, autofocus, and will allow lens stabilization to work.
This by far the most detailed comparison of the speed booster I've seen yet and probably ever will. I actually have viltrox adapter on my Gh4 with sigma 18-35 and for the most part I think the image quality is sharp for enough. It's very good to know the differences between the two. I might get a speed booster by metabones once I get enough money from the Gh4. Despite the shortcomings the viltrox is just an incredible adapter to get started with for the price.
Thanks Michael ! I agree. Honestly, I don't think it's worth upgrading if you don't feel limited. Save money for other more important stuff :)
Really great comparison here. I had both the metabones and the viltrox speedbooster and never noticed I difference in sharpness in the center or edges but your test do show quite a bit of difference in the far corners. Great review
Maybe it's because I was wide open actually.. thanks !
@@zebrazone no I think you're review was accurate and very well put together I just think that I was not pixel peeping or really looking at the details in the corners. The metabones is definitely the superior speedbooster. For most people it's just about whether or not the Price Is Right.
@@JohnHarvey Oh I see ! Well Metabones should definitely be 200$ cheaper to be really worth it I think.
I don’t know how I got you in my recommendation, but I am so glad youtube did it.
Happy accident !Thank you so much !
Did I see smoke behind you ? ! Good lord this was a great, informative video!
That was smoke. These guys are on fire!
Wow, you belong on a TV show weekly presentation. Great job. Do more please. Sailor shirt is what probably made it that good. :)
Great content and very well done!
Exceptional content! Few quick questions, at 6:17 how far is the subject from the camera? And how far is the background? Lens zoomed in or steady at 18mm? Keep up the good work, I agree, this will blow up!
This comment is to notify youtube to show me more zebra zone. Also of course i subbed. Thanks for quality videos :)
Go on! Best review format. Very useful info, tnx!
Wonderful, wonderful, content and accurate information. Congratulations!
Great Quality Video! Thanks for the info!
DUDE... UR VIDEO IS SOOOO GOOD !!!!!! THAAAANK YOU
You explained it very well and easy to understand. Thank you so much...
very nice video, I remember when the metabones speedbooster was announced many photographers were very confused as to how it was possible for an extra lens to increase the aperture since all they new was teleconverters... some even downright refused to accept it. but actually those closeup lenses for macro stuff do the same thing, except with those you obviously loose the ability to focus on infinity... anyway, thanks for explaining it so well, I hope no everybody has understood how it works...
Very nice comparison. Thank you!
Excellent video! Thumbs up!
it is really a difference in sharpness, but with viltrox the problem is that you have to "tune" it correctly. This glass can be moved closer or further to the sensor. That solves also a lack of sharpness in the infinity problem. Great content! cheers!
Great vid, easy for a beginner like myself to grasp, excellent!
Really a great video! Thanks for that!
You are most awesome mate! Keep it coming
Nice comparison , its very importent for me, thanks a lot
You and media division are the Kings of European high quality CZcams cinema nerds
Thanks a very good demonstration of the differences.
Thank you for the amazing comparison
At last, a useful video on the subject. Thank you very much!
Thank you !
This was a video a really looked for. Thx a lot
Excellents videos guys. Congratulations.
