Last summer film, favourite of our family. X-T3 with Bolex Moller 16/32/1.5x. 

for the Bolex collection. Family at home favourite. 

When is the Firmware update and what can we expect. Is there some information about that? just curious.

After using the Ninja V on a concert shoot this weekend, I'm feeling the pain of the micro HDMI connection. I had used the monitor a day or two before for a corporate shoot at an acupuncturist's office, and didn't have any problems with it locked down on sticks or with a bit of handheld to get b-roll. 

The first evening of a two-day concert event I got booked for, the mini HDMI end of the cable came out multiple times and the metal male insert ended up bending. I think a big part of the problem the 90 degree bend in the Atomos cable. It bends in such a way that it exerts pressure on the connection and basically "wants" to break it. And is so thick that the recommended SmallRig cable clamp for my cage doesn't fit it. I can't find a clamp that will work. 

Luckily, I didn't pay for the damn cable, I found a package deal from Adorama on Amazon that bundled the cable with the monitor for the normal price. I'm definitely going to ask Adorama to warranty the cable. Can anyone recommend a legit to mini HDMI cable with a straight emd that will record 4k 60 and isn't 10 feet long?

 

I am using 8sinn cage after Smallrig. More expensive, but way better clamp for mini HDMI. I also use the 8sinn cable.

It's been discussed a few times before.

The HLG flag in ProRes file automatically triggers Premiere Pro CC to apply an HDR to SDR conversion.

If I google, than I find more about this. also here at this forum. Never had problems before ... I think. Solution is not there at this moment as far as I 'google'. Unfortunatelly.

First time I see this. hopefully here others are also using X-T3 and Ninja V and can tell me what I am doing wrong! Filmed with my Fuji X-T3 a ditch and prutrace last weekend, files in HLG on both SD card and Ninja V SSD. Viewing with potplayer, same quality. But... puttig it on timeline in Adobe without any grading, the Ninja file gets overexposed. Is this normal? Or is this an Atomos issue? Settings? I also don't understand there is no firmware upgrade for Ninja V. Any advise?

Did you have a chance to compare the quality of internal files to ProRes coming from the Ninja V? I wonder if there is any noticeable difference.

With my filming qualities I don't believe there is a lot difference. But Ninja V files are definatelly faster to edit.

Filmed with my X-T3 and anamorphic with Bolex 16/32/1.5x. Taking lens Contax G 45/2 rehoused to Leica M. Used Ninja V for recording.

Fuji LUTs are not so good.

I am using mostly HLG and Filmconvert. Now waiting for Filmconvert update X-T3 profile with HLG.

Nice that you still like the NX1. For several reasons it still beats new cameras in it's class. NX1 is now 6 years old? inbelievable ? I replaced NX1 by X-T3 last year, but have my NX500 for traveling.

nice image. anamorphic i guess

Indeed anamorphic, Bolex 16/32/1.5x. Nice stills also.

screenshot from a film I am now editing. Halfway the hike in Austria the SSD from my Ninja V was full, so I stored new footage on SD card. In Premiere CC I edit both and Ninja files are faster to render than H265 from card....

and there it is, will do a few tests soon

This is a nice one, congrats! Love to see the results with a 2x scope on X-T3 (I own myself a Bolex Moller 16/32/1.5x).

It’s an anamorphic mode.

And due to a 3x3 colour aware binning, it’s completely free of moire/aliasing, also with drastically increased sensitivity. Kinda similar to those 48mp > 12mp smartphone sensors but much much more advanced.

Finally also Fuji in Anamorphic mode. I am using mostly anamorphic lenses on my X-T3. Any idea if this will be in APS-c as well?

There will be a new firmware announcement around the same time as a new product announcement.

It's a bit quit at Fuji. Now that Sony and Pana have some news, it's waiting for Fuji. Do you know when there will be an announcement?

I have X-T3 and before Samsung NX1. Both APSC format sensors. I always filmed with 1.5x stretch scopes. Works perfect, only sidewise a bit cropping. vimeo.com/keeswaque

Wow that is a very special place where you live. And it looks like you have your NX1 all figured out. Really nice video.

Thanks! where I live in The Netherlands it's all flat. We like mountains and especially this place in Austria. NX1 is a great machine, but I sold it last winter to upgrade to Fuji X-T3.

With NX1 last summer in Austria; 

One more from our holiday in Austria last summer. 

From last summer, finally a bit time to edit. Iscorama Cinegon mounted at Voigtlander Ultron 40/2 on Samsung NX1

Nice shots! Which profile is this? The sun looks a bit weird in some of them (at 2:10 for example). Is this due to grading?

Thanks Attila, I used F-Log for this one and graded with Venice Cine lut; https://www.sierracreativeco.com.

The oval at 2:10 is from the lens, colours from the lut.

Shot this one with my X-T3 in April. I was happy with my Samsung NX1, but X-T3 is way better (except battery and grip). Filmed with anamorphic lens Bolex Moller 16/32/1.5x.
