It won't be for another couple months after the AFX has shipped.

Some demo footage of the Quad Lock functionality will be forthcoming later next week, likely Friday.

I think it is, yes, they already sell that Aluminum Heat Sink without the SSD as accessory:

The same principle that modder fellow up there posted in the previous page from Zitay website...

 
And Andrew has been saying a few posts earlier in the same page:
 
Aluminium cage would help to spread and refrain the issue.
 

Yes, that faster performance won't affect the current needs except for two reasons IMHO I'd sincerely love to see some other experts to comment without secondary interpretations : D 
Extra use other than R5 (once again, my needs are not yours and vice versa) as future proof as well but I wonder if it won't benefit in terms of overheating...?
 
Well, thanks for your heads-up rolling in private messages. Once public, here I am. No offense taken up there. No pun intended to people we cannot have a single idea who they are (I guess this works both ways or even multilayered when we have many users around, distinct experiences, core business and so on) because as said, the world is yet too big despite this damned pandemic and we ain't all Hollywood characters : D
Yup, I found it strange that (external) quote and such level of certainty from people I've never heard about and from my lack of background on that I let it hear from people with more knowledge than myself. As simple as that.
Not necessarily to endorse anything I can't stand for the same reasons I see any activity or craft on earth as a cooperative process in the same field. Not else. Misunderstandings happen (non-native language speakers, etc) but they stop to occur in all the goodwill when we see some general words strictly in a literal sense if we refuse to admit them or that we can collaborate for information and healthy fun, any other?

It will be able to focus anything that can currently be focused with a single motor.
Each lens is calibrated individually once (it takes about 2-3 minutes) and stored in the unit for later recall.
In the case of the electronic lenses on BM cameras, the calibration is recalled automatically by lens when you power on or change lenses and for manual lenses with the motor option it will just be a case of recalling it from the list on screen.

With this module, in the wide mode example, you can see that it begins tracking the face even before she enters the frame as it has a wider field of view than the camera.
The standard mode AF-C mode only takes the focus when she is more centrally framed and the AF-S mode only activates on depression of the trigger akin to AF-On/Back Button Focus. on a DSLR.
In either AF-C mode it will track wherever the target goes while you have that engaged, which is alsi switched in and out by the trigger on the small controller.
In all these modes, the variable transition time is also active.
I do have plenty of geared compact and cine PL lenses to test with but this version is direct control of electronic lenses on the Pocket cameras, a version to control motors will follow.
 

So....
It's obviously no secret that alongside developing the AFX add on, we've also been busy creating a version of it with an interesting additional feature.
More development details will be announced about it when the AFX is available for pre-order.
In the meantime, here are some examples of the additional feature.
Can you, erm,"detect" what that additional feature might actually be doing?
 

I will post something on Monday probably that gives a hint of it in operation.
With regard to tracking, just to clarify that the first version does have AF-C so will keep lock as a subject approaches or moves away in the focus zone.
Obviously I think you should buy all of them 😉 
For manual focus lenses you will need a version with the motor interface module so you will have to sit tight for that one for a while longer.
There will be a motor version option of this one following not too far behind.

September 1. We ain't so far from there then, correct? Any date to put on our calendar now?

Unlike contrast based AF systems, the lock speed of the AFX system remains consistent across different lighting conditions.
The benefits of this are particularly apparent in low light or low contrast situations where contrast based systems will have to hunt to achieve lock.
These examples compare the performance of the internal BMPCC contrast based AF with the AFX to illustrate how each system deals with different challenging (too challenging for YouTube's shitty compression by the looks of it) low light and mixed contrast scenes.
 

Man, I am impressed, so I'm eager for your news on the Pro version to include the tracking mode.

It has rear size of 30mm with 0.5mm pitch. And a single focus anamorphic lens adapter. You'll need a single focus adapter or double focus it.

Hope not for such "much higher price point"... anyway. A third or 25-50% higher?

There will be a development announcement of it before the pre-order begins for the AFX so people can see which one of them - if any - will be more suitable for their use.
Price and lead time is the benefit of the AFX as for some people the combination of additional focus tools it brings to the Pocket cameras might actually be all that they need and the second unit will be a couple of months behind.
It is very, very different and whilst it is initially for the Pocket cameras it is a more universal product.
As I say, both will be known before any pre-orders happen for the AFX so it will be easier to evaluate for individuals then before any commitments are made.
 

I think it's - if we have a device similar to Tilta Nucleus Nano, but from a different manufacturer, will it still work?
Eg the focus wheel on a gimal.

hdmi isn't limited to 4k?

I am still hoping they will release some firmware update to help to extend the recover period, hence that's crucial for a lot of further buyers purchase, myself included. Without it, I am out : )
Here's a real user's test:
 

Apparently you can extend the external recording life in the 4K HQ mode (30fps) if you remove any cards from within the R5:
 

Interesting comparison here (from that user):
 

It really requires a firmware update... :- )

And DpReview have already learnt of this video and are talking about using this setup for 8K video... 🤣🤣
That micro HDMI port is the weak link in that setup.

In Tilta we trust.
