  1. Yeah just stick a cage and atomos shinobi on top. Keep the rig nice and small.
  2. Id rather wait another 6 months for the a7siii and it be really solid with great IQ and features than get it tomorrow and be a lackluster/lateral upgrade like the majority of the Canon stuff for the last + decade.
  3. So far Davinci Resolve Studio, and the Sony cameras I've owned since switching from Canon. A6300, Z90, and currently A7iii and FS5. Premiere Pro with all of its bugs and crashing made me hate editing, Resolve Studio has brought some of that light back. Sony gave me better lowlight, 4K, awsome 120fps/240fps, autofocus, flat picture profiles, better DR, and great reliability.
  4. I said it when the s1/s1r first came out. The overpriced lenses with their Leica tax (even the Pansonic ones) will keep the L mount system from being a popular choice.
  5. Olympus 50mm F1.8 Zuiko is becoming my favorite lens. Just wanted to film some practice shots at work to color grade later, but the sharpness still amazes me. I held off buying this lens for like a year, regret it. The shot of the second helmet is just a split grade so that's why half of the shot is ungraded. Used muh A7iii
  6. 85 1.8 is the best overall option ~$500 roughly. Tamron is still working on the 70 - 180 F2.8 as well. I prefer a tighter look personally so there is also the Zeiss Batis 135mm F2.8. If the 100mm STF and 135mm F1.8 GM were cheaper I'd recommend those. For Outdoor stuff I have the 70 300 FE currently but i'm moving to the 100 - 400mm GM by the end of the month. I use that lens on the A7iii and the FS5 Used it here
  7. That sounds decent although I don't know how good the Viltrox is with video AF. The Sony FE 85mm F1.8 is pretty cheap and very good. That's lens i've used before but not for sports. Which is surprising as I'm a sports videographer myself.
  8. Something ive been considering for a while. But the 24 105 has like 50% more range, + OSS + and focus hold button.
  9. Lighting and Lenses is what makes shit look Hollywood. "Camera choice is basically just the film stock." - William Wages ASC
  10. Its cause they are exposing to high. I usually expose my cinegammas 85 ire and get great results without color clipping. When dealing with skin tones the image should be exposed even lower, nothing is worse than clipped skin.
  11. If your own a budget - 70 200 F4 or 70 300 FE If you have $$$ then 70 200 2.8 or 100 - 400 GM Film convert pro is really easy to use, but I would take the time to learn how to color correct and grade by hand.
  12. I hope it has no Flip screen just to piss the YT Vloggers off. ?
  13. 10/13 stops is a fucking lot. Most video cameras with built in NDs have a 2, 4, and 6 stop nd filter switch. Maybe start with 6.. Outside of using in built in NDs I strongly advocate for the use of fixed nds vs variable/faders.
  14. You totally could do Arri log C, I just did S log 3 because I wanted to try AC's rec 709 conversion lut. Keep a bit more highlight range but reduce a bit more noise vs 75ire. I still think 106 is way to high ?
  15. less likely to have banding with slog 2 than slog 3 with 8 bit recording. Also Slog 3 is a cineon log curve whilst slog 2 isn't, that's why most people will say slog 3 is easier to grade. Essentially shooting Slog 2 so there's less of a chance with artifacts and banding, then switch to slog 3 in post because its easier to grade. only other thing I changed was instead of the standard -7 detail/sharpness setting, I bring it up to zero. I personally prefer a more sharper clinical look.
  16. Was able to shoot some test shots today. Exposed at 85 ire this time. Once again I shot Slog 2 - S gamut3.cine in camera. Used color space transform in Davinci Resolve Studio. Uploaded both Luts also. Image 1. Color space transform conversion from Slog 2 to Slog 3 Image 2. XDCAM user Sony Venice - Slog 3 rec 709 look/lut Image 3. XDCAM user creative lut.

  17. Interesting, I'll shoot some test clips with both cameras @ 90 ire on my next day off then.

    Didn't wanna make a new thread for just memes.. ??
  19. I feel like 106 is wayy to high. Alister Chapman and Doug Jensen (Sony xdcam gods) reccomended around 75 ire for both slog 2/3 I find it works better than doing that standard 100+ for bright white. Especially if its something like an interview with skin.
  20. The only HLG 2 shot is of my dog. Everything else was shot in slog 2 and remapped to slog 3 then converted to Rec 709 in post. Doesn't have as much DR, but the HLG is really easy to work with.
