Thanks! I appreciate you checking it out! I haven't run that specific test, but it would lend to some really interesting results as the lens characteristics would be uniform throughout (all though the field of view would be slightly different still given the size of the film compared to the size of the digital sensor). My main objective here was to see if I could come to terms with parting ways with one of the independent systems :) I am curious now though, so if I run that test I'll put it up here! Thanks again!

Hey! I appreciate you checking out the video, I wish I could be of more help here but I didn't experience this myself. My first thought has to do with the cable connections on either the transmitter or receiver side, so maybe audition different cables? I'm sorry that's been your experience thus far!

@TroyMairs i was able to fix it thank you. What's your typical audio workflow for a basic talking head interview? I'm new to this and using DaVinci resolve.

@ That’s great to hear! When I can, I try to have 2 sources of audio going for interviews. A boom mic rigged above the talent as well as a lab mic. I lean on the tentacle track e/sync e system to record and sync my audio files in post

No doubt! We're seeing more and more of them hitting the market, give it a few years and I'd wager it'll be much more commonplace. Thanks for checking out the vid!

@@adlerz5433 Oh great question! I don't have a personal experience with the A7cii, but I found that camera to be very impressive omat launch! I understand it shares the same sensor, so I think you could apply everything from this review relating the image quality. You could also apply the aspects of the “Sony Ecosystem” as well. I can't really speak on the ergonomics/battery life/or overheating though. I've consider buying an A7cii myself, but I'm pretty deep in the Sony ecosystem at this point. Thanks for checking out the video!

Thanks Gabriel! I've enjoyed it too, thanks for checking out the vid!

Much appreciated!

I agree! Book lighting always seems to do it for me too. I'll make a note of that thought, and maybe I'll find a day soon to test these different setups and share what I find! Thanks for checking out the vid!

Same! I've been favoring a surgical approach myself! Small and lightweight, trimming any extra fat.

@@TroyMairs That`s why i have the A7CII and it`s my all time favorite. Shot in the day with the NEX7 and i think it`s even better than that.

Then it sounds like you know what's up! Lol thanks for checking out the video!

That's a tough call! Maybe something like the FX3 or A7sIII fit the fill if you're a little leary toward the A7IV but want to stay in the Sony Full Frame line?

Fair! That is uncharted territories for me, but It'll almost certainly pose an interesting new creative challenge in the future! Thanks for checking out the vid!

I've heard they did a new software update since this video that changed the interface quite a bit. I haven't done the update myself, but I've heard some similar feedback. Sorry that's the case!

Very nice! That Mamiya would certainly lend to some unique characteristics for sure!

I appreciate the kind words, and for you checking out the vid!

I only have experience with the R5 at the moment, I'd imagine there are some pretty good deals on the used market right now for an R5 body that would make it a great "bang for the buck" investment! It does seem like the mkii has addressed a bit of the overheating problem which may or may not be a deal breaker for you.

There is no internal storage on the receiver, it will just have audio out. Thanks for checking out the vid!

Much appreciated! I'm sorry I've been nonexistant here! I'm just about caught up on projects that I can start to create for the channel again! Pumped to have you here!

Yep! It can take a 4k60 signal in

Lol! I realized how it sounded after the fact 😂

Lol! My wife is always making fun of me for packing and repacking bags all the time. I love the process! Thanks for checking out the vid!

Thank you! I've been rocking the Zoom F3 for XLR mics lately, I quite like the Tentacle Sync System, and I'm crossing my fingers they make an 32-bit XLR recorder in the near future

Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words, and thanks for checking out the vid!

I'm partial to the FX3 myself

Much appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your insight! That makes for a really interesting perspective. Having a defined "goal" for the gear in the bag would certainly help pair down what needs to go in it!

Certainly! That is the ideal lighting scheme as far as my taste goes, I find that it usually takes a lot of stands to do it right, so I'm always experimenting with how I can get "close enough" with fewer stands and how to best strike that balance :) Thanks for checking out the vid!

I like this! And it could be used on any C-stand instead of a highly specific one (bonus points for you!) What type of modifer have you been putting on your light in this scenario?

I hope you’re right as I am taking the plunge tomorrow.

Yea, I don't know that there is one in the pipeline either. Just sharing my general thoughts towards a new camera and what'd I'd like to see! Thanks for checking out the vid!

I think your right on! Image quality isn't the deciding factor any more, it's ecosystem and ease of use. Thanks for sharing your insight!

On paper, the A7IV should produce less moire given its AA filter. In the real world, I hadn't noticed much of a difference, but my time with the S5IIx was realtively short in that regard. Great question, thanks for checking out the vid!

That shouldn't pose an issue! The screen is 1080p, but it can support feeds up to 4k. Anything less than a 4k input signal should display just fine. Thanks for checking out the video!

Yea, that was my mistake in Post! Sorry to put you through that! I did shoot this video on the A7IV 👍

Its a cool camera for sure!

@@1839dpAHC Much appreciated!:)

LOL! Sorry about that, it wasn't my intention but it seems a few people thought that too. I was more so thinking to myself what I wanted to do when it does come out, whenever that day comes. But hey, thanks for making it to the end :)

Glad you enjoy it, I appreciate you checking it out:) --- Amen my guy!

Thanks for sharing your experience! Its always interesting they way we can each connect/bond with a certain camera or brand and its always a different experience for everyone!

Now you see me...

It must have been! It seems I just haad left channel active on export, sorry about that. But hey, thanks for watching anyways :)

Sorry about that! I can't believe I missed it! 😬

Thanks Jason! You're pretty well seeing the vertical rig here! I often opt for the "Lightweight" setup and utilize the tripod mounts built into the side of the cage. Then I use the iPad for monitoring. One time I rigged it out a little bit more to include the Falcam F22 top handle on top of the vertical rig, but ultimately haven't found myself using it much more than that one time.

@@TroyMairs That's brilliant! Thank you for sharing

@@darianjones3268 Thank you so much for checking it out!

Thanks for checking out the video man! I appreciate it! I'd be interested in how you managed to pull of the v-mount rig without the use of rails. Did you opt for that SmallRig "L" Bracket type V-mount accessory? Thanks again!

@@TroyMairs Yep, that's right! Expensive, but so convenient. I also have a rails setup with a v-mount plate, but I only use that with long lenses.

@@skymakai I thought that thing was a great idea! I considered switching cages just to natively use it that Vmount bracket☝️ I’m glad you enjoy it!

@@triedge6200 Oh man! That's a bummer, I can't believe I missed that! Thanks for the heads up, I’ll catch that on the next one!

Great question! My native Sony mic holder was still very much intact, there are two screws that hold on that original barrel that can be removed with an allen key. This new, third party holder then slots in and use those existing mounting points. So no permanent modifications are necessary! Is this mic holder better than Sony's? Aesthetically, not really. The finish is a little rough, but I find the FUNCTION of it to be much better than Sony's. The elastic bands allow it to fit a wider range of mics, and act as an isolator to minimize handling noise that might be transferred to the mic.

@@TroyMairs thank you

I believe it is a 2.5 mil. That said, it is not a locking DC Port (unless you get the enhanced model). So I have been using an Atomos NPF to DC locking adapter to power my monitor. Thanks for checking out the vid!

Thanks for checking out the vid! You've got options with this cage! It comes in three pieces that can all lock in together around the camera. I leave the top plate off of the cage on my rig, which leaves the MI shoe and the two screws next to it free for the XLR top handle or a Sony MI mic. If you don't want to use the MI shoe, you can install the included top plate and it will give you a Falcam F22 rail on top for a top handle!

@@Jasondeheus It’s either a jazzy vibe or Johnny Cash on any given day in the studio!:)

@@Jasondeheus Thanks so much Jason! Pumped to have along for the ride:)
