Internal batteries

great to hear you had a good experience! I was using the Tilta cage also, had a couple of there locked in cables go bad within a year. Understandably, i really have a hard time trusting there products; I also have had other Tilta products with QC issues such as the Cage itself, T5 holder screw and a bad DC-Weipu cable. support was also non existent. It’s a shame because there design and ideas were so good! Anyway I ended up purchasing 3 Tilta cables and 2 SSD holders within a year. Would have saved money to go with Cfast earlier... although my shoots rarely need over 500gb but I get the al

100% Cfast all the way USBC is unreliable, introduces 3 points of failure

+1 for Sigma Art lenses, they are great for a nutural image.

Thats good to hear, I read BM were fixing the issue vis firmware anyway! My buttons are very responsive I don't have my regular to compare side by side but they seem to be unchanged for me.

I’ll have to test this later and let you know, seems like we have beta firmware till the one grant announced.. so could be related to that?

Yeah a lot of people on the BM forums have the same issue. I was just going to add +300k correction to my LUTs so is not a huge deal but it will be great to have a fix. I’m also not used to such a bright screen I often accidentally overexposed about a stop on the regular pockets, with the Pro (and gen5) I find exposing using the monitor more accurate.

Sorry to spam the thread... had the camera for a few days now here’s some initial thoughts and tests. ND filters are great (obviously) haven’t noticed any IR pollution or colour shifts when using them yet. The biggest upgrade is the brightness of the monitor, totally usable on sunny days. I will say a lot of people have been reporting that there monitors have a blue tint and I can confirm that mine is about 300k cold. BM informed CVP that is a firmware update coming to fix this. There is another firmware bug where it is impossible to import or delete LUts Battery life is improved I

Actually they are just in stock everywhere in the UK now lol

Update: dispatched today arriving Monday... really wish I opted for Saturday delivery lol

Let me know how those Patona batteries work out for you. Ive get a couple of Baxxtar and was considering either the BM or the Hawkwoods 590s

Turns out they will be getting it in tomorrow instead so (in theory) it should be getting to me between Friday and Monday!

Speaking of the camera getting here CVP here in the UK called me saying they are getting my unit in today.

John Brawley just posted on Facebook with a video that he’s getting 72mins out of the included battery, that’s not bad at all. (Screen on 100%)

Personally it doesn't change the way I hold the camera and sometimes the metal covers the grip making it uncomfortable. If you prefer to use a top handle though go for it!
