Thanks for watching, Brother. Blessings to you and yours.

Yeah, the flip screen doesn’t inspire much confidence. That being said, I have grown to rely on external monitors now and run a much brighter monitor (3000nits) on shoots. I dabbled with the C400 two weeks ago and it seems to be a great package out of the box but…..I truly love the DGO sensor in the C70 more. Also, if I need a compact setup, I use the R5C….which has an EVF. So yes, the C70 isn’t really a mirrorless with an EVF nor is it a box camera with a robust and malleable monitor….its an “odd duck” as you say. Hehe.

@@aregal The Panasonic S52 is an amazing camera for the money - terrific low light, unlimited shooting and a cooling fan so never overheats. My co-work (Panasonic fan) gives me crap about buying the C70, but once you've had built-in NDs hard to go back. The C70 is serving me just fine for my type of work. I'll rent a C400 in time, but no rush

Definitely no rush; cameras are so good now. Yeah, I think the C70 will be highly revered in the future, much like the BMPCC OG is now…but for its own reasons.

you aint get nun lil boy

Thanks for watching, Brother!

My first choice would have to be the Cooke MiniS4i for their rich tone. Next, would have to be nFDs. They have a vintage Canon look that flares nicely. Third, believe it or not, would have to be TTArtisans, they extremely affordable and compact. Fourth, would have to be these quirky C Mount FUJINON machine vision lenses. They’re soft and can only be used in S16 mode but they have an indie feel to them. Fifth, are the non-L Canon RFs, they’re lightweight and the AF is nice.

​@@aregalcan you post videos you shot with the Canon C70 on Cooke lenses and Arri Ultra Primes

@@aregal thanks for your response! I haven’t used any of these yet

I posted one a couple of months ago. My time with that lens was brief. We hired it for a job but decided to use CN-Es instead.

You would need a 95mm to 87mm mattebox ring adapter. I do not seem to see any available currently. 114 to 87mm yes but not 95 to 87.

Further, I got the BrightTangerine 87-114mm adapter ring to use with 114mm matteboxes.

It accepts 82mm threaded filters if you need to use one.

@@aregal What!!!!! Do you mean Cooke Mini s4i has 82mm filter thread?

@@arunr4103 correct. It has an 82mm front filter thread.

@@arunr4103 Only the 18mm MiniS4i has a 105mm front filter thread. The rest of the set is 82mm.

@@aregal okay 21 &40 is what I am looking for are they also has 82mm filter thread ?

Adapter for Arri PL Mount Lens to... www.amazon.com/dp/B08XQPTVXT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

@@aregal Do we need any lens support?

@@arunr4103 the PL adapter needs support. Cooke Minis average 3.5-4lbs each. If you’re using it on a camera that has a native PL mount, you don’t need lens support.

Thanks for watching! Yeah, he’s a faithful little booger. I just realized most of those shots are of him. Haha.

Thansk for watching! The nature of the PL mount is rock solid and the lens itself (3.5-3.8lbs) doesn’t need lens support. The support post is on the PL adapter which holds all of the lens’ weight.

Thanks for watching! I used the KesslerCrane CineSlider.

@@aregal are you happy with it or would you get something different today?

@@colinthomas2525 I love it. I’ve even put an ARRI Alexa MiniLF on it with my Cookes. It was just as smooth. The max load is 80lbs. On the daily, I use a DanaDolly for work. I love that thing too but it’s unwieldy unless you have a crew; like we usually do.

Thanks, Brother!

Thanks for watching, Brother!

Yup! I used the Haoge PL to M43 adapter.

@aregal but it doesn't stick with the camera so u had hold it ?

@@aperturefilm the BMPCC has a M43 mount. That’s home I’m able to attached the M43-to-PL adapter.

​@@aregal ok wow so I can even use this on my bmpcc4k ?

@@aperturefilm yup! :)

This was shot in HDR PQ and exported REC.709 straight from cameras.

@@aregal I understand but we as the viewers are seeing this as 8bit and we do not see the High dynamic range. HDR exported to sdr is sdr for the viewer. I don't understand the amount of videos stating HDR when at the end, the viewer aka TH-cam users don't see the end product in 10bit

@@racecrashrepeat You are correct. This was to see if there was any gain in shooting in HDR PQ and exporting straight to Rec.709. My hopes were that at it would be like shooting in WideDR like I’ve shot on the C300ii and C200 but as you see in this video…this was not the case.

​@@aregal don't get me wrong is fantastic footage. It's an awesome camera, this is actually not aimed at you as I understand the HDR PQ setting from the r5. But yes the amount of videos filmed and titled HDR when infact they are either made in 8bit or end up as 8bit in the final file. If a tv doesn't trigger the HDR mode then you know the file doesn't have the colour bandwidth of hdr. I'm saying that as it's the easiest way to know the data. But also on like a lg oled it's clear when the rec2020 profile is utilised correctly.

@@racecrashrepeat oh dang, that’s interning that LGs get the HDR trigger via TH-cam. I see it trigger when I stream from Netflix, Disney+, etc. I export 99.99% of the time in Rec.709. Maybe I’ll try an HDR post-production workflow in a future video and see what it looks like on my LG.

Thanks, Brother!

Hahah. Really? You don’t like the R5C and/or R5?

Thanks for watching and sorry for just replying. I used the BMPCC OG.

I use the Atomos Ninja V. Thanks for watching!!

You are correct. A 1.6x extender would definitely as the MiniS4s are made for S35 and take advantage of that adapter I “pushed” the lenses by filming in UHD on the R5 and “digitally cropped” 1.1x by turning on DigitalStabilization. Unfortunately, this introduces a slight degradation in image quality and work on most of my Cookes but also introduced visible image wobbles since the vignette is so close to edge of frame. The 25mm has the smallest image circle which is why it’s vignetting when shooting FullFrame UHD at 1.1x crop. Earlier this year, I got an R5 C and the locked sensor makes it easier to frame for a 1.2x crop via the framing tools. MiniS4is have a slightly larger image circle when compare to the S4s…some say, this larger-than-S35-but-smaller-than-FF format should be called “Ultra35”. Haha. Thanks for watching and participating in the discussion!

@@aregal Are the Cookes optimized for 4K or 6K or 8K recording at all? I know the Sigma Cine 18-35mm Super 35mm is 6-8K ready. Obviously I can't afford the Cooke Anamorphic X2 lens, BUT Sirui Anamorphic RF mount is on the cards for me.

@@VIPAH I know people comment on the “Cooke Look” but I do not recall Cooke literally saying that their lenses are made for a specific resolution. What we do know is that Cooke has been making motion picture lenses since the beginning of cinema. I DO know that Cooke has been catering to larger formats like FullFrame. I also recall Cooke commenting that someone using their FullFrame Panchros thought they received a bad set since the focus was “blurry” off-center but Cooke commented that THAT was the Cooke Panchro look.

@@VIPAH to more directly answer your question, it would be safe to assume that Cooke MiniS4is are tailored for S35 film which roughly equates to 6K.

@@VIPAH the whole optimised for 6 or 8k is a little bit redundant as most modern sensors will out resolve even high resolution sensors. The Cooke lenses are very high resolution, but with a pleasing focus fall off which will make them "feel" softer than lenses like the Sigma. These lenses were made with an image circle optimised for S35, but like most sets the longer focal lengths will "cover" a FF / 135 sensor. They will work best however on a S35 sensor, which is after all the standard for cinema.

Thanks for watching. The song is “Breakfast” by J French.

That’s correct. The parts that could come in contact with the body, mainly during installation, is padded with rubber.

At the base too?

@@ericgrayphoto correct

Thanks for the info!

@@ericgrayphoto honestly, I’m waiting for the WoodenCamera or BrightTangerine R5C cage. A bird at Canon tells me that they’re going to be really nice.

right??

Sorry, Brother. I haven’t been able to get back to y’all.

@@seannfkennedy Thanks for helping out your fellow ‘Tuber, Brother!

Thanks for watching! I haven’t really shot with these FUJINON MachineVision lenses outside in a looooong time. I either iris-ed down or shuttered up back them. Now, I have front thread adapters that will allow me to use my 82mm Hoya SOLAS IRND filters which the BMPCC really need when you need to stop down. Normal NDs introduce IR polution which is hard to fix in post.

@@aregal Thank you for your reply. Yes, I always shoot with some type of IR filter on my Blackmagic cameras. I use a Hoya UV/IR filter and use it with an SLR Magic variable ND. It’s not a perfect variable ND. I have seen the dreaded X pattern in some conditions but it’s fairly rare for me and it’s too easy to dial in exposure with a variable ND (as a hobbyist).

I forgot to tell you. I grade in Premier using a variation of this method. th-cam.com/video/RvFCnVRcT3Q/w-d-xo.html

@@aregal Hi thanks for the video. where did you get the front thread adapter from?

@@dominicpclarke Hi! Thanks for watching. Are you asking how I adapted the lens or how I adapt filters to the front of the Fujinons?

Thanks!

It’s a SmallRig Mini Top Handle for Lightweight Cameras (cold shoe version) which unfortunately SmallRig no longer sells.

@@aregal Oh yes - I see they still sell the other version w/ 2 1/4" screws- too bad.

@@TedBorel yeah, I’m seeing that nearly all of the cold shoe top handles are being discontinued from all brands. On my other rigs I’m using the Tiltaing COMPACT NATO top handle. That being said, this SmallRig mini too handles is perfect for the BMPCC

“Fujinon HF12.5HA-1B 12.5mm F/1.4”

@@aregal preciate you my brother 🙏🏽

12” 15mm steel rods by SmallRig

Thanks for watching! The PL mount adapter has a rod support mounted to the 15mm rods. That is more than enough for the Cooke Minis. Now, if I had a Varotal, yes, I would have another support post mount towards the front of that lens.

@@aregal Thanks for the info!

Thanks!!

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

I did not realize I did not respond to you. Unfortunately, I shot this in CinemaDNG raw which does require a post process. I performed a basic grade just to get a good image out of the camera; basics slider adjustments to shadows and highlights and maybe an S-curve applied…no luts, or crazy grades. Again, just a basic grade to extract the image from CinemaDNG raw. This is as close to out of cam from me.

Thanks for watching. The 4K in the 5D4 records in DCI not 16x9.

None. And AF gets even better on my R5/R5C.

Further, this video was shot with Gen1 DPAF on the EOS R…..again, AF gets even better with USM L lenses and the Gen2 DPAF on the R5/R5C. Thanks for watching!!

I feel ya, Brother! My first copy from eBay had scratches on the front element….so I sucked it up and bought a brand new copy from B&H. Haha.

@@aregal sad story ....

Thanks!

Thanks!

My pleasure, I still feel like I’m learning every day. My new job has me shooting on SonyFS7/Clog3 and CanonC300s/CanonLog1. It’s made me question a lot; 1080p, 4K, 5K, 8K, 10-bit 4:2:2 or ProResRAW. That being said, I’ve considered going back to the BMPCC for its 1080p 12-bit raw but yesterday I set up 5K ProResRAW on the R5/NinjaV combo fully rigged out in a cine workform; top handle, 15mm rods, etc.

I’m planning to cut a “where I’ve been” video before the end of this year; haha
