Canon C70 -> HDMI voltage injector -> EVF = working, but only in with "System Frequency" set to 59.94 Hz and "Frame Rate" to 59.94P. Any other FPS or frequency will cause a black screen. I tried to be clever and set "Network" to "On" in the C70 settings (to enable power on the USB-C port) and power the HDMI voltage injector from there (using a USB-C to USB-A adapter) but this didn't cause the EVF to power on.

After reading the posts in this thread again I realised I have the C70 "System Frequency" set to 50.00 Hz. This also sets the HDMI output to 50FPS. When choosing 59.94 Hz and "Frame Rate" to 59.94P the flickering on the EVF (when connected through the FeelWorld monitor) goes away. Canon C70 -> FeelWorld -> EVF = working, no flickering only at 59.94P. A bit limiting only being able to use this on a C70 for 59.94P... especially in a PAL region.

Received the V780H EVF today to try with my Canon C70 (and Feelworld F5PROX monitor) but unfortunately I can't get it working properly with these devices. I've tried powerin the EVF via the included HDMI voltage injector (5V via USB, using several USB power supplies) but this didn't make a difference. Canon C70 HDMI out is set to 1080p and "Linked to HDMI Monitor" is set to "Off". Canon C70 -> EVF = not working Canon C70 -> HDMI voltage injector -> EVF = not working Canon C70 -> FeelWorld -> EVF = working, but EVF image is strobing/flickering The EVF itself does work when connected to my MacBook (but I wasn't able to make it work with the FeelWorld monitor in between. MacBook HDMI -> EVF = working (1920x1080@60fps) MacBook HDMI -> FeelWorld -> EVF = not working (resolution 960x540@60fps, 1920x1080@60fps, 1920x1080@60fps (low resolution))

I think it is possible to convert CRM to DNG according to these sources. Apparently it’s similar to CR3 raw files.

Did you gather more info regarding C70 compatibility?

@Andrew Reid Do you by any chance own a smartphone DOF adapter like the Beastgrip or Ulanzi DOF Adapter? I'm really curious how it would match up with the 1" sensor in the X14U. Yes it's definitely not compact any more and rigging it will be a nightmare :') But the integrated aperture in the 23mm lens would serve as a variable ND substitute (and the DOF adapter itself will reduce light intake too). So using it like this may render using a VND obsolete. May be great for daylight. I think it would be fun to pair it with vintage lenses, or in the case of the Ulanzi with E mount anamorphic lenses. I even have a DJI Focus Pro to 'solve' the lack of autofocus. 😁 Considering I'm currently using an EOS M with Magic Lantern I think X14U + DOF adapter will result in highr framerates and hopefully better dynamic range. Not sure about resolution and lowlight though due to the DOF adapter. And I'm aware it will produce artifacts: texture and spherical aberration but that could actually look interesting. 🙂

Hi Andrew exciting to see you have the x14u as well! I've started writing a Xiaomi 14 Ultra mod guide to maximize its MotionCam Raw Video potential. It's far from complete yet (still many questions unanswered xD) so all input is welcome 🙂. P.S. I've been reading your blog posts since forever and read new articles the same day they're posted. But I don't look in the forums that much, found this thread by coincidence. Would love to one day read a full blog post, featured on the front page, about your experience and experiments with the x14u! 😁

Thanks glad you like it. Curious to hear what you mean by lite setting. Thanks Zeek! Bought the EOS M because of your great video's ? Yeah, it was my first time shooting and was a bit enthusiastic. Already filled a 64GB card as soon as we left the house... Super cool framegrabs with the Transformers by the way! Looking forward to your new video. Forgot to mention I used the Viltrox speedbooster too.

Wanted to share my first trial with Canon EOS M, Magic Lantern RAW and vintage lenses. Also the first time I use Davinci Resolve for editing and grading. Overall I'm quite happy with the results. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/bDT8-ChgzrE. Make sure to watch it in 4K, even on non-4K screens, because it has way less compression artefacts. Shot in mv1080 at 1736x976 resolution, 25fps. Using Helios 44-2, Mir 1B and maybe in some shots the Jupiter 9. Also used two stacked polariser filters as variable ND. Didn't use a LCD viewfinder, but plan to use one next time. Need to get more stable shots, so I applied stabilisation in post. Sound recorded with Rode VideoMicro.

Andrew I'm wondering about your view on the EOS M and the latest developments with ML raw. I bought this camera as an occasion, good as new, for €100. With a speed booster it's close to full frame and without it you can also use cmount lenses. Haven't really experimented with raw video yet (still buying some lenses for it). But have seen some beautiful results. It probably won't beat the image of the 5D II, but EOS M is even cheaper and has the advantage of being really small. I think it has the potential to make it to this list! Hope you get a chance to try it out

Video AF can be enabled, also when using ML. Didn't really test it, but when I noticed the lens started to autofocus I turned AF off. Don't think the AF will be usable in video mode on this camera.

timpy, how did you post process the footage?

Looks lovely with the anamorphics! Would really like to try that out myself :) I've already posted a few videos here where I used the V2's Burst Mode, but I haven't yet shown you my first! It's the best so far and took my quite a while to finish editing. You can read about the process of making this short film on my blog if you're interested: https://jip.debeer.it/pyro-the-experiment-of-my-first-nikon-1-4k-raw-film/

Made another video using the burst mode. Too bad the only supported frame rate in video mode is 30p. Really doesn't play well together with the burst mode in 24p.

Future phones could house a terabyte of memory: http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/24/future-phone-terabyte-storage/ That kind of RAM would be nice to have in a future Nikon 1 camera!
