Turboguard 188 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Oh, just saw that 8sin is working on a specific T5 mount. Guess I'll stick around and see what it will look like. seanzzxx 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What do you guys think about mounting a smartphone clamp to a cage to hold the samsung T5? I'd only use the setup while shooting RAW 4K DCI obviously. Then SD cards for ProRes. Been looking at 8sin's Scorpio half cage. Should work, but I'm sure they will release something more specific once cages come out for this camera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanWright 328 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I still think CFast sounds like much less effort, i'm going to be picking up 2nd hand CFast cards for cheaper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mnewxcv 55 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 So the 1080p on this camera is just cropped in to the sensor read out of 1920x1080 correct? As in, the only advantage of shooting 1080 is if I need to send a 1080p file without editing? Since I could get 1080 cropped from the 4k footage in editing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seanzzxx 103 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 In raw - yes. In prores it is downsampled 1080p (meaning you get the full sensor width), unless you're shooting 120fps in which case it will be a 2x crop again. mnewxcv 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anaconda_ 824 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 2x crop of the sensor, which is already 2x crop of full frame (give or take) so 120fps is 4x crop compared to ff. And yeah, epoxy a little shoe into one side of the drive. A dedicated, pre-made mount by any company will cost more than it needs to that's for sure. I think the shoe mount idea will look a little slicker too, and be just as secure. You could even mount it to the bottom of the cam for handheld shots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anaconda_ 824 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 So don't bring it up. Weird how in that sample pic, the USB is going the wrong way to the port. I'd definitely make it go the shortest route and tie up any slack. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greggreenhaw 4 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I like the 8sin cage but i recommend this top handle/rail system Having top rails is really import for lens controls specially on smaller rigs when the grips and matte box can get in the way https://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-closed-top-handle-for-fs7-fs7ii-fs5-ursa-mini-1979.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Super Members BTM_Pix 5,657 Posted September 11, 2018 Super Members Share Posted September 11, 2018 The extendible phone mounts would work as well and give you a movable ball mount on the hotshoe. They also have tripod mounts so you can attach them to a mounting point on a cage etc. They are all over Amazon and eBay for a few quid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps there is a channel for the cable to be kept out of the way rather than twist tied on the left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SR 139 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 8sin looks awesome. Afraid I prematurely got myself this on Amazon (just 10 bucks). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IronFilm 4,150 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I need something like this but with a clamp on the bottom so I can attached my iPod Touch (which uses an iOS app with the F8n) to the frame of my Orca OR30 mixing bag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I find the external battery and bulk of an Atomos recorder very cumbersome for most shoots and an additional burden to worry about.... Is the cable loose, is it recording, is it setup right, is the battery going to see me through the next take, blah blah blah. With the T5 you just plug it in. Done. Love that it takes power from the USB C port, no other 4K recorders do that. As we already have a plenty large enough screen on the camera, the need for an external monitor / recorder is even less. I will be asking every manufacturer at Photokina about adding USB C raw recording and seeing what they think of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now if someone could combine the T5 enclosure with a nice high res 3 inch OLED display (to use with a loupe finder) - that would make a rather nice eyepiece/recorder combo.
