  • For the past couple of weeks I've been testing the Athena primes with the DJI Ronin 4D, along with. the NiSi PL adapter and I absolutely love the workflow! In this video I cover my thoughts on them and how and if they will be changing my workflow as a filmmaker.
    This video was shot on the Ronin 4D, Sony FX3 and the Leica Q3.

    Absolutely a good value for optical quality, size and cost. Thank you for the content.

    Dude, this video was so good. It's one of the best I've seen on the 4D.

      I own the same setup, But I will use the Nisi for the first time this weekend, and planning to get the 8k Sensor in a few days, great video my friend 🙏👍🏼

    • @davidgodi
      @davidgodi  Před 3 měsíci

      Nice man! Thats a killer setup with the 8K!

    I love my NiSi set, and since I’m comfortable doing color work, the sharpness and clarity isn’t a problem to pull back when necessary. As my standard package I would rather have a detailed image in camera which I can soften and stretch later. The quality is great so far. My only “complaint” is not having the 18mm in time to finish my current project. There’s a shot where 14mm is too wide and I don’t have the working distance to pull back for the 25mm, so I will be using another brand. But I have the new set of three on preorder for when they release in July. I think it’s hard to go wrong with them unless you need to deliver a vintage feel for quick turn around without much post work, but there’s many vintage lens sets on sites like ShareGrid that aren’t expensive to rent when needed.

      Good point! Love the set!

    Great video! It is to the point and has excellent information. Question for you - what Ronin D4 do you have? Based on your experience, what would you recommend about it?

    • @davidgodi
      @davidgodi  Před 4 měsíci

      Thank you so much! I have the 6K version, it works for most of the stuff I do, I rarely shoot in framerates higher than 60fps and 6K is plenty of resolution for most things! Also way cheaper 😂

    @alessioavezzano Před 19 dny

    I came around to this camera as well. What is the balancing like with these lenses, are they within the weight bracket? Good close focus?

  • @AlChered
    @AlChered Před 4 měsíci

    Thanks for the review! Could you tell which of them do you like more? I tend to order 14 and 35 for now.

    • @davidgodi
      @davidgodi  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I’m a really big fan of the 85mm right now, definitely my favorite! But If I had to choose 2 I would choose the 35 and 85. 14mm would be the 3rd choice for me! 😊

    I have the rf 15 -35 2.8, rf 85 1.2 ds, and rf28-70 2. I can only get two lenses next month. Which to get? I was thinking the 25mm and 50 because i have the c70 and r5c

    • @noranoskyle4417
      @noranoskyle4417 Před měsícem

      I really want to make my work flow easier with cine lenses due to the focus breathing from the RF. But I am on a budget lol
