Welcome to club canon :) Did you have much glass to change over as well?

@@videographerstuff539 No. I came to video from photography and I was a Canon shooter. I bought a used FX6 for its amazing low light capabilities. But since I film wildlife and often predators, I wanted a 6k camera. And fortunately I already have a good collection of Canon glass.

Hahaha you’ve seen the future! This is very true!

With the Tilta one I wish the top handle didn’t take up so much space. They could have gotten away with one screw at each end rather than the four screws it has. I’m pretty happy otherwise. The price of the wooden camera one was out of my price range but it does look great. It’s had to tell on the specs on their websites which one is heavier but my Tilta one does add some weight to the camera.

@@videographerstuff539I’ll weigh it and let you know. 👍🏽

@@videographerstuff539 it’s about 1,579g for all parts only, (not mounted to the camera, which weighs 2,715g with the side hand grip, battery, monitor and cable) For the wooden elite kit, once you take off some of the parts you may not need, like the rods, or baseplate, top 1/3 pieces, nato rail, etc which is very well designed for the wooden gear, you can vary your gear from 400g for just the top plate, handle mounts and handle (and you can mount much to just these pieces) all the way up to the 1,579g with the whole setup, or anything in between. I may make a video about it. :)

Yeah you should totally do a video! The more details like this out in the world will help people decide for sure!

Given that you can pair the DJI mic directly via Bluetooth to the DJI action 5 I would recommend that. If you used a rode system you’d have to plug the receiver unit into the DJI action 5 and have to mount in on there. I’ve never actually use the DJI mic but lots of people do and they seem fine. support.dji.com/help/content

Gotta change it up a little every now and then 😉

My pleasure!

Did you go with kondor? If so, are you happy??

Yeah the c70 was pretty funny past 3200. I had to go 6400 a few times. Only delivered in HD on those occasions 😉

Haha thanks heaps!

Yeah that’s pretty rough of Sony! Defs not the time to buy a fx6 this late in the cycle. That’s unless someone is offloading one cheap. The burano seemed to be priced pretty high for what it is. Would you consider it if it was cheaper?

@ I do a fair amount of outdoor industry and wildlife types of projects. And I’m finding for wildlife work it really is worth it to be able to deliver in 4k, but just by nature of the work, there are a lot of instances where some cropping is necessary to fill the frame and show detail. To crop and publish in 4k of course means shooting 8k but for faster moving subject such as heron it’s great to be able to slow down the action sometimes. I think the Burano is geared more for a multi person production and I probably wouldn’t take advantage of all the I/O. If I go purely by checking the most boxes, the best fit on the market is a Red Raptor XL in S35 with its 8k120. But at $35k body only, that’s not happening. Now Red Komodo X is only 6k but will shoot 6k 80fps in red raw and can be kitted for $10-15k so that’s a possibility. I just don’t see a future where the fx6ii or fx9ii will come in with what I’m looking for because it would put them ahead of Burano. Which is a shame because the form factor and VND is perfect for what I do (used to shoot an FS5)

It’s might be a few minutes until we get 8k 120fps under $10k 😜 How much cropping are you doing in the 4k footage? Is it distractingly obvious if you output it at 4K in the edit?

Do you mean up the front left side near the nd filter buttons? I think I could put the rode wireless pro rx there but I think when I use the theos it would get in the way, being that bit bigger.

Canon has defs shown the love with so many firmware updates. It’s nice not to be left behind even when newer cameras come out. I’ve been really happy pairing r5c and c400 together. They look good together in post.

Yeah it’s all good, I’ve been using it heaps. My only complaint is the leg clamps, even with adjusting the tension I still feel like that will be the first bit to break.

Cheers John!

the easiest way would be to just use 15mm rails and have the plate sit further away out the back so it doesn’t get in the way of the screen. I have seen some people put it on the hotshoe on top, but that’s not a good option in my opinion.

There are those v mounts that have hinges as well, on 15mm rails but that might be an option as well

Such a good combo! Oh man we were all very patient waiting for the c400! But as you said, very much worth it!

Same. I did the Sony thing for a while and was still able to use all my Canon EF glass in Sony World. I've had the C400 for a few weeks now and I'm so glad I'm back to Canon with this camera. Glad I didn't sell my EF glass, even though I'm adding on some RF glass for better AF performance. And I was very surprised how well the C400 performed on my Ronin RS2 gimbal. With a 16mm f/2.8 RF pancake lens and the stock battery, it balanced perfectly. Seemed to work even smoother than when I run my R6 on that gimbal. Did a walking through a front door shot where I AF tracked a subject and the lighting went from super bright to dim and used the cameras Auto Exposure for that (which I never do with any other camera), and the way the RF lenses smoothly ramp Exposure instead of 'clicking' it down... the shot worked perfectly. Smooth Track with no shake or bounce, smooth AF lock and then transition infinity when the subject cleared the frame and totally smooth auto exposure management through a tough lighting transition. Really loving this camera.

@@blackburst1 keen to see that shot! Yeah I’m slowly (very slowly) changing over to the rf versions. Defs think there are auto focus advantages for sure 👍

It will be very interesting what Sony pack into fx6ii

This video was with my c70, 50mm 1.4 and a Godox panel bouncing of the wall. I must admit I’ve never really enjoyed Sonys blues in the highlights. I can spot it a mile away!

Yeah wow that is a hard one, almost a nil cost change over makes it interesting. Is there a client benefit to making the switch atm?

I like this! Yeah something around the following, no stress if you don’t use them either ☺️ Will the client notice? Is there return on the investment Do you feel emotionally attached Have you physically tried/ tested said item Ask a friend/ colleague their thoughts Ask someone who has it what they done like about it and would they buy it again

Thanks! And like really, want could happen to the gear we have right this minute that would make it it useable??? I mean if canon moved to a subscription model where you had to pay for everyone minute of recording or to unlock codecs that would be pretty annoying.

Haha 😜 or let’s go full circle here, I’m going to sell my house and buy an Alexa. Just need to figure out somewhere to sleep 🤣

This is interesting

Haha just trying to protect myself…. 😝

Cheers!

👍 Are you shooting with fx6?

Note: I said 13 years with canon, I meant to say 6 years, I only changed to Canon in 2018. (13 years was when I sold my Nikon d3 for the Nikon d810)

Thanks heaps! Yeah the IS comes in handy!

Gotta be safe!

Bolt it down!

Oh no! Sorry to hear that!! I’ve never had that problem, you may have tried this already but my attempt would be to try copy the file directly from the tx unit. Then see if it opens in any type of player or editing software.

@@videographerstuff539 Yes, I did that. Tried via the case and directly from the transmitter, tried via the app and via explorer etc. Also tried multiple softwares. I now wrote the Rode support, maybe they know something. Saw also other users had the same problem. :(

⁠@@simonkipfer1833bugger! I hope rode can sort you out. Was there any on camera audio you can run through adobe podcast AI to try have something usable?

Canon did do a good job on the c400 handle for sure. 👍

Makes life easier for the audio, thats for sure!

Yeah I’m a big fan of the Sanken, it’s a workhorse! I do like the touch of extra brightness of the mk2

Hey! It’s been a while since I did this video but I would have just recorded straight into the rode connect app. I doubt I adjusted any settings. I might have added a compressor in fcp to boost levels. (Can’t remember) When I use this mic on my rode caster pro 2 I generally turn off the noise reduction because I don’t like the effect it has on the overall experience

I forgot to put this: gain +60, depth about 3/4 full, sparkle about 3/4 full, punch about 6/8 full

Yeah the halo frost gives a nice wrap of light. I like it

The YT compression can be brutal at times! I’m going keep having a play with raw one projects that I’m the editor for. When I’m on external projects that go to other editors they never want raw. I had a good rest of the 4k 120 and hd 180fps the other day. Really beautiful stuff! Thanks for the great comment!

Leave it with me and I’ll see what can do 👍

I haven’t really had a chance to look at it beyond my 32” 4k monitors. That is a good idea though, I’ll try check it on a bigger screen somewhere. 🤔

So do you keep all the raw footage long term Or just handoff and you don’t have to worry about keeping the data? I watched a video a while back about a fella who shoots raw, grades/ corrections, then exports those clips to work from. Then deletes the raw clips.

@@videographerstuff539 RAW LT isn't that bad for file size. Once I send a finished job I only keep the end result. Unless it's a person I will shoot/client I will use some of the footage in other jobs. Some are clearly a one and done job.

I can see the value in that option for sure. I’ll give that a crack this week. The smaller file size of Long gop is very handy for lot of my work. What’s your c80 channel? I’m not currently planning on getting one but I’m keen to check it out

Yes I think the camera pre amps will always be a bit more noisy in mic level, I think that’s the case in most cameras (I think)🤔 I think now with where ai is currently at, we can reduce that noise safely without it sounding too weird or robotic.

Totally, I have one and it does help for sure 👍 Been tempted to buy a second f10 but don’t want to spend the money

Yep, got some other raw test on the channel 👍

Videopro here in Brisbane, I went on the waitlist pretty much straight away when canon announced it. I think they currently have them in stock.

Yeah I was impressed. I think it will be really useful when needed. I haven’t had to go that high on jobs yet, but nice to know I can if needed
