    I'm a little confused about focal length. Can you calculate what 50mm +anamorphic+metabons would be on pocket? Thank you!

    It ends up being around a 35mm field of view (which is insane!)

    50mm x 1.9crop = 95mm fov 

    95mm x .64speedbooster = 60.8mm fov

    60.8mm / 1.75x anamorphic = 34.7mm fov

    Any news man? Would like to see some footage from you and a couple of words about using experience. Have pocket 4k too.

    hey yeah! Still waiting for some gear and the project I am working on with this setup doesn't start production till late March or so.  But here's some stills from test footage in the meantime.  I am going to be using the Nikkor 50 1.8 and the 85 f2 as taking lenses together with an XL .64 Metabones...also waiting to receive a V1 Aivascope which I will use in some shots for flaring.  The V2 does not flare unless you really blast it with something.  I ended up with a ProtoDNA thanks to the wonderful advice from JSD and it's awesome.  I am just now opening a box with the Titla G2X and Nucleus Nano.  Will get her all balanced up and report back with some pics!  Planning on mostly using one Pocket4K on sticks, another dedicated to the gimbal for tracking shots.

    If this is your only scope I highly recommend looking at the new ProtoDNA than the FVD. I love my FVD but it and the HCDNA aren't really that good for small scopes unless you absolutely need to go wide. It kinda defeats the purpose of having a small anamorphic.

     

    I also recommend looking into a 52mm Nikon diopter set (No. 0, 1, and 2). They work very well with the Aivascopes.

    Oh I didn't know they were available yet...last I read on the site was a Plan B :) I'll contact through the site thnx for the info!  will be nice to have a couple single focusers for various sizes.

    Hey all! I just got my V2 Aivascope baby 1.75X lens and really excited to put it through its paces.  I know there are some excellent posts recently from JSD about this lens but just wanted to start a dedicated thread for anyone new looking, or if anyone wanted something specifically tested.

    I'll be mainly using it on a BMPCC4K but will also be using on my A7S2, and possibly my BMPCC.  I'm still waiting for my Rapido FVD and presently without diopters so there's not much to test yet but hopefully everything arrives soon - in the meantime will try and collect everything I need to get shooting some sample footage ;)

  5. Embarrassingly I haven't shot much video on my A7S2 (and recently bought another BM Pocket).  A trip to the local fair was a great excuse to film some bokeh with my trusty 2X FF58.  I haven't even uploaded any 4K stuff to Vimeo so it was all a great reason to experiment.  Used Cine4 with s-gamut3, light grade with Film Convert.  I forgot my FF58 focuses past infinity so the out of focus bokeh isn't sharp...but ended up nice anyways.  I brought along photo lenses but ended up just taking a bunch of video instead - and wow battery life goes fast in 4K!  It's in 4K on Vimeo

     

  6. Did a quick test yesterday with my RX IV - quick question, is everyone keeping at 180 deg shutter even at the HFR rates...I ran out of light and had to shoot 360 last night and it seemed ok, will try proper testing in bright light to see the motion blur differences. Didn't have enough light for 1/480s (or whatever it is in the camera for 240fps) - also need to play with the profile settings, so far it grades just like my a7S - might just try PP1 with some minor changes.  Thnx for all the info guys great thread

  7. Did you take a drone with you on vacation or did you rent one there - and which one do you find satisfactory to fly that camera/lens combination? I really like those shots.

    Packed my Phantom 2, with the 3axis gimbal and a GoPro Hero3+Black - very small and cheap, gets pretty great shots for what it is  :)  Just have to grade the hell out of the footage

     

    Great work Kaz:)  Love the star flaring of that voigtlander when the torch is in use.  perfect stars

    thanks! it's a fun lens, usually the one on my a7 bodies...will be getting a 2x oval ff58 and the wide adapter soon, that will be very interesting

  8. Actually the two were never used together, the taking lens for the Anamorphot was the Voight 50, although I have used them together and it's a fantastic combination. I was planning on doing the whole trip with the ff58 but I didn't bring the right adapter ring (!!). You can tell the shots in the opening are with the ff58 since mine has the 1.5x oval aperature...about to order 2x one to use with the Anamorphot that should be fantastic. The a7S in slog is problematic outside with the 3200iso even stopped down I didn't have enough ND so shot the bright exteriors with other profiles and a Tiffen variable ND - which is ok when you need just a little but turned the footage pretty brown. I'll be getting some dedicated irnd filters to also use with my bmpcc

  9. Some various shots using the awesome FF58 and other with a Voigt 50 1.5 (@2.8) together with the SLR Anamorphot.  Yes the low light ability is pretty insane on the camera, I wish I brought my Ninja Blade to record the footage though.  Hard to pack everything while on vacation since, you're supposed to be on vacation lol.  I hope there will be a 4:3 mode for 2X anamorphic on this camera one day...we can wish  :)

     

  10. I removed the fisheye with a plugin called "fisheye removal" from fcpeffects.com - and as far as a gimbal, any of the larger beefier ones should carry the weight of a GoPro with this lens like this one  http://tppacks.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=60&product_id=56

     

     

    Thank you for posting this!  I think the 4K 2x speedup is genius!  I wonder how you removed the fisheye effect?  Looking at this, way better than Letus' own video.  I just wish this could go on a gimbal, I was thinking of primarily aerial video with the GoPro.  Maybe need a beefier gimbal.  Again thanks for this video!

  11. I just tried this out the other night and I like it a lot...rather have it on when it makes sense.  It doesn't make sense in a lot of applications because the lens is actually kind of heavy so it won't work well in places where you need the GoPro to be as light as possible (like it won't work with the DJI H3-2D, H3-3D on Phantom, etc.)  but for things like cars, etc. it's great.  Will try out on my helmet at the track on Wed.

     

  12. Kowa LM6HC 6mm f1.8

     

    I've already posted these on bmcuser but just adding to the archive since this is a very popular thread.  Nice to find a true wide angle option that doesn't heavily distort and is fast too.  This Kowa lens is great find, it's a machine lens and only closes up to f11 and focuses to about an inch.  Here are two tests to show it in various situations:

     

     

     

    Also have two tests for the Switar 16mm and the Schneider Cinegon 10mm in that album - and I believe both have already been confirmed to work perfectly on the pocket previously in this thread.
