  1. ok i understand that focal lenght and f stop are crucial. are we talking about dop or something more?
  2. yes that is for sure, about lighting and location. But, for instance, what about outdoor? with natural light i can still see a big difference. Not as big as indoor of course. I don t' really look for a "movie look" but at least not to look "too real", you know what i mean. Lens yes, that can make difference, may be using some vintage ones, not having cine lens can help? Where do i find the GHA lut?do i need to shoot in flog for better using it?
  3. hello need some suggestion with grading. My xt3 does beautiful images, but at times grading is needed absolutely to make the footage looking like "films". It is a pity to have such a beautiful camera and have sometimes result that is so far from any kind of cinema look; it looks too real. If i see it on my pc is still not so bad, but on my tv no .... I attach a frame and i ask you what would you do. I have done some work on contrast and saturation Please give me some hint..i will study cc soon because i find it so important... thank you
  4. please remove this user i made a mistake and enter using a google linke dprofile, forgot i have one with a registered mail. So please, i am the same user Stefano Capasso can be removed" thanks moderator
  5. hi thanks..you said relevant things but i don t understand how to manage 🙂 af c and postiion the focus box where i want. ok. you mean , by using the finger tap or using the button? would like to have a detailed explanation if you vcan also aout the face detection, you said to turn it off, why? and how do i move between faces with button? thank you
  6. hello need some help with autofocus in videomode. With all change made form firmware, and also because i have never used that much my xt3 i don't have still so clear how to use it Mainly, for now, i want to be able to control focus either by pressing with my finger on the screen , to have that part in focus. Or, once i have set my focus box somewhere in the screen the focus should be always automatically in that box, wheter i move the camera or what is in front of my camera change or move I have notice that if the camera autofocus on a part on its own, is slower than if i tap on the screen t focus. And sometimes that slowness is better.but i don t exactly know how it works The use of that function on the screen, the hand with finger on upper right corner, yet it is no very clear. AF,area,off,shot..If i set it to AF, when i tap the screen goes to off,,, well i have some confusion, for start i woul like to know how to focus in the 2 ways above, while mantaining face detection. Btw, can detect 2 faces? thank you
  7. in manual focus i see the rig only on tripod. I want use the rig also in my hand for little movement or run and gun like situation. That way side and top handles are both useful, and both of them will require autofocus, what do you think?
  8. that's right, also with top handle should not be easy no? actually when i think at two sie handle i think at a autofocus shot,
  9. ok i have seen it i ask you the same, as i am telling eerybody Don't you miss the 2 side handles? sometimes i think it is useful to carry the camera that way
  10. that is not too bad, but i miss the two side handle portability
  11. i see that is a cage for dslr, what you mean you use half?is so big? could be fine but it is weak in portability. I mean th epossibility to use it with a top handle or with the 2 side handles in some cases is really useful. Looks like can t do that with this flash bracket
  12. Hello i own a fuji xt3 and thinking tobuy a cage. What i don't like is the idea that if in a couple of year i 'll change camera i'll should change all the rig. For what you know there are cage/rig that support generic mirrorless cameras? thanks
  13. exactly even if i did not buy really lots of doing furing my "career" 🙂 i know that lots of time what i buy i really not going to use so taking the time and see what really come uo as urgetn is the best way, in spite of the exctiment of buying 🙂
  14. actually i don't have it to sell, i can give it back to amazon and get back all the money, but i have really few time left Of course ir right, i can think of any other thing like something for audio for example, i have a tascam dr40 plus a rode videomic, which are not too bad, may be i could add a set of wireless mic, actually one could be enough for interview Monopod it is a chance, i have a tripod where one leg can be unscrewed and use it as monopod, sometime is annoying doing this, but is is not a real necessity though (the monopod) whai i am getting convinced is that gopro will be of a very little use for me, though
  15. yes your experience is really what i have always suspected: after the first impact gimbals are not anymore so useful because of the hassle and still beacuse lots of time monopod, or even handheld with some shake is better than that electronic stabilization. So gimbal may be is not what i want really.. gopro a part for the water and pov,and i use these only for my personal video, when in holiday or similar, so it looks to me a waste, and that's why i am looking for somehting to change with. I have little time to do that, and gimbal was my first thought, another could be a nice smallrig with some accessories, though i have different kind of tools for rigging (not so targeted as the smallrig though).. it is a strange stituation, always thinking to things i need and when there is a moment to choose one..no idea 🙂
  16. thanks kye, your answer is wise and i couldn't totally agree with it. WHile i have in my hand gopro and i have an idea of what to to with it, i never had a gimbal. I know i'd like to stabilize my footage, but not all the time. Being "documentary" oriented it is ok for me not to have stabilized footage in many cases. Also what worry me is the object itslef, the gimbal that would require morte preparation, less control on the camera (i coud not work on focus or exposure while using it..is it?). So mainly i don't know what to expect when working with gimbal, wether i know that the result of working with it would be, not always, nice to have
  17. hello i have received as a gift a gopro 7 black. It is really nice and it makes good shot, but for me may be it is not of much use other than to put it together with my xt3 In your experience/opinion gopro 7 footage can match good with xt3 or may be i can replace it with a gimbal? thank for sharing your opinion
  18. i have a bunch of vintage lenses, most of them are minolta rokkor, and they are great. What i miss is a parfocal one though and that's why i got interested in this nikon, as is also cheap as you said
