  1. What type of cable do you use between your Saromonics and your XT3?

    There is a difference between line level and microphone level. Micro level is from 1 / 1000V to 1 / 100V against line level about 1V.

    Some micro input supports line level input but not always. I don’t know for XT3. In this case you must use an attenuator cable of this type:

    @BrunoCH @androidlad I just got the monitor and I've noticed something - does your tilt arm also has a little wiggle/play in the coldshoe of the camera? I screw it in all the way and it's not sliding but it seems like the metal part is smaller than the coldshoe so it's able to wiggle around in there, left and right.

    Yes it's the same for mine. But I don't use it because the miniUSB connection is on the side of this tilt arm and I power the monitor by usb with an Anker 26000.

    Is the Color Space Transform FX a new...ish feature of Resolve?

    Basically, I use Resolve as an intermediary to get my DNG files to ProRes and then edit and do a final grade in FCPX.

    Usually, in the Raw Tab I set up my color and gamut for Blackmagic Film and Blackmagic Film Log. I’ll also click the Highlight Box and then correct any WB if needed and add some Midtone Detail.

    But after using the MLV App, I’ve noticed that 5D3 ML Raw responds well to a LogC workflow, so I am testing the CST FX in one node by setting the input color and gamut to BlackMagic Film and Log and the output to Alexa and LogC and then I exported to ProRes 444. In FCPX, I’ll use Alexa LogC Camera LUT in the inspector and then do a basic curve and saturation tweak.

    So my question is... am I using the Color Space Transform function correctly? And should I be using any Luminance or Saturation Mapping when I do it?

    The most interesting article I've read about color management in DR:

    By the time i will get answer i think i will have a new camera 

    Weird i can only find 4 poles 3.5 to 2.5 adapters that are small. No 3 poles 

    I could do one yes but i am afraid the welding will not last in time

    Wiring i can find on the web

    The cable LANC1 on the tilta site should work (for sony FS5 and FS7)

    https://tilta.com/shop/nucleus-nano-run-stop-cables/

    See the screen capture on the documentation on FS7  3poles same as XT3

    Which is why i added with adapters to 2.5  ; )

    Same answer as to brunoch 

    Should work with 3.5 to 2.5 adapters

    Good luck !!!

    I think a better solution would be to ask Fuji and Tilta what are connexions in their remote cable and to make a custom.

    Yeah, take your time testing. Different af-c settings for example. It’s nothing you should decide without really thinking about it

    I can’t test  autofocus settings, I have no XF lenses (only manual samyang vdslr). But I will take time to watch reviews on youtube and ask questions on this forum if needed.

    If audio is a big concern, then get the f/2.0

    the f/1.4 is a very nice lens with incredible look. but the focus motor is loud. The f/2.0 also focuses faster in stills. i got the 1.4. I don’t record audio with build in mic or in the hotshoe and if the mic isn’t too close the loud motor is no problem

    I don’t think the update will change anything about that, since that’s all due to different hardware. 

    Thanks. No, audio is not a problem. I record audio with build in mic only as a reference for sync.
    I will still take some time before buying one or the other.

    yes, it’s your lenses. The  18mm and 35mm f/1.4  are the oldest lenses and use loud motors. Newer lenses are better. Some by a bit, some by a lot. The f/2.0 primes are very good, the zooms are noiseless

    Interesting. I am happy with my manual samyang vdslr lenses on my XT3, but I would like to have at least one XF lens with autofocus. I still think between 35mmF1.4 and 35mmF2. After the April’s update 3.0, do you think the 35 / F2 will be better (at least better suited) than the F1.4 for video?

    That's what I thought when the issue appeared. I don't think it will be fixed.

    That's what I was thinking too. I think a monitor with LUT is a better solution to record LOG and check a REC 709 image. Combination XT3, monitor SWIT 55C, Anker 26000 (to supply power both) is perfect in my fiction work.

  10. Thank you for sharing. Very interesting.

    Not really sure that the HLG is better. For me, it depends on the parts of the picture. On the attached screenshot, I prefer the Flog. It's about saturation, colors, contrast. In particular, the dark parts are gray on the log. On the HLG the dark parts are blue.
    And the fact that there's very little room for error about expo, makes me look rather for the use of the F-LOG. I will do my own tests to check.

  11. After more time with LUTCalc, I understand better this app and I found a better way to create the LUTs I wanted and everything worked fine. I created a 17^3 LUT based on the Fuji LUT deLOG WDR and also 3 versions of this LUT going down one stop each time. Everything works as I want. Very good monitor for the price. Great application (3.49Euros Mac version or free version online).

    a bit off topic but how is the monitor in general? Anything you specifically like or dislike about it? I'm looking into a affordable monitor for my G80 and the main reason why I want to pick this one up is for LUT monitoring

    I really like the layout scene organization with 8 possible tools by scene. I create a scene with waveform (very good, very fine) and histogram. And a scene with false color. This 2 scenes for exposure.  And I create an another scene with a deLOG LUT for visualisation. I really like the peaking tool (not focus peaking). Peaking looks like a kind of oversharp on the focus part. It is very effective to help focus.
    There are many  deLOG LUT installed, as well as a lot of faslecolor for the main existing LOGs. And also the possibility to put 16 LUT by SD card . Unfortunately these users LUT are in 17x17x17. And it limits the use.
