You covered this a while back now but something that came to mind that may be useful. If you have never tried the Bertom Denoiser Pro VST plugin, definitely check it out. It is incredible at removing ambient din type noise, room echo, fans running etc. it's very lightweight in processing and also latency effects. it's an ideal companion to using one of these mics or other sensitive condensers. I've compared the Bertom to things like the Waves NS1 and the Waves AI based noise reducer and it's the least impactful to the sound quality under the worst noise reducing environments. It's also pretty cheap. I use this mic for video conferencing and other voice uses, I run it 5-6" away, typically below my chin and at about 45 deg angle pointed to my mouth to avoid all plosives. It avoids breath plosives and also the proximity coloring being too intense. It is a bit fuller and warmer at that distance.

What recorder that you use for this video sir?

One of the best videos about this adapter. I just ordered mine after doing lots of research about this adapter. Wished I would have found this video early in my research about this product. Would have saved me lots of time bouncing from site to site trying to get as many facts as possible about pros and cons of this adapter vs buying dedicated tilt-shift lenses. Thanks again for a great video explaining the adapters features and limitations.

artcise 601C vs ARTCISE CS80C can anyone tell me the differences apart from price

I have to correct your explanation of the Lensbaby optics. The Edge series, which goes in the Composer tilt "holder", has three optics-35, 50, and 85 mm-that give a slice of focus, not a sweet spot effect. The amount of focus vs. blur changes with the aperture and the degree of tilt, and you can place that slice of focus where you want (not necessarily in the centre). They're even tack sharp all over the image surface when not tilted, unlike the LB optics with the sweet spot effect, which will always have some degree of radial blur. But yes, they don't shift, only tilt.

Hi Sir, I have few Ai lens. What adapter did you use for the Sony ? Which one would you suggest ?

sound is harder than video...I am learning that now😁 if an image is slightly over saturated the audience will forgive...(any Michael Bay Movie)....if the audio is off audience tunes out right away

Hi Sir, can you please make a review on fx3, a9iii and a1 ii

My CFExpress type B cards are $1,000 a piece and I shoot with 2 at a time (redundancy). When I shoot raw at 20 frames per second (45MB x 20 x 2) = 1,800MB per second. To shoot for an entire day, I could easily use four 512GB cards which would mean … $4,000 per day. If on a 10 day trip - card cost is then $40,000. That’s just my primary body without even counting video. Yes, easy to store lots of cards but not very practical. Saving all of my files to multiple external SSD drives each evening is much cheaper. They don’t even need to be high speed … as long as I get multiple copies on multiple drives. I only need cards for one day then. This means taking a laptop unless there is a device that will copy CFExpress type B cards.

who are you? How come I never saw your videos? You are like an encyclopedia!!!

I subscribed, you do too, colleague

great video, love your presentation skills

Can’t agree with you more on the cables that should be included with this and similar devices. I burned through $100 on small angled cables to get my rig set up as neat as possible. Sure I was able to return the cables I didn’t need, but the process is a PIA when these companies could include a proper sized and orientated cable with the equipment. It would save allot of time and expense. Even taking into account the enjoyment of rig building, some products should give you a bit of help in this area.

love this review - I'm photographer of 30 years, strobe / studio / location / etc... and newer to videography - after starting off my videography journey, I see how much more technical it is and difficult- thought there are plenty of cross over skills that have been useful. If I could go back and start fresh, I would have placed learning audio, and subsequently what types of mics to use for each situation, way higher on my skill check off sheet. I was using some PicoGear lav mics for over a year and then an MKE600 - which sounded not so good indoors - and then I learned about this style of mic and have been shopping for about 3-months for an affordable mic and this was on my list. The fact that you do this for a living added all the weight I needed to make my decision to give this mic a try - thanks so much for this video, and especially the elongated un-processed access to the audio file - wonderful review.

What a great presentation that reinforces the value of critical thinking when assessing a product! A lot of reviewers should take note! 'SUBSCRIBED'!

Close your eyes and it’s like Nicholas Cage is giving a tripod review. Great info.

Does it take CFExpress type B cards?

Respectfully, your review is pointless. You did nothing but compare specs that you read online. You, again, respectfully made the same exact mistake that everyone else continues to make, and that is concluding that a certain camera is better simply because of its capabilities. I shot a 3-hour feature film on the Sony fs100 that you wouldn't believe it was shot on that. Lightning, sound, angles, editing, acting, etc. have to be on point. If you wish to see a sample of my work, I can provide it as evidence.

Your video saved me money. I’ve been shooting with my a1. It made me not buy the fx9. Your movie. I never need a variable ND. You also put that forward to me. Thank you. This a1 I have. Is the perfect camera. Full frame 8k. Thanks for the thoughtful message in your video. Gear. It’s a bunch of bullshit

Why i hear background noise when i record my music?

For all those fellow flute and woodwind players out there.. if you can not afford a Neumann KM 184, this is the best microphone you can get (provided you use correct positioning). Trust me, I have been there. After buying (and returning some) SM 57/58, Beta 57a, V7, V7x, NT1A, NT1, NT5, Oktava MK012, ... This sounds by far the best on a flute (and probably other woodwinds).

I was aghast when I saw the 4K 10bit has moiré artefacts, This is still a £4000 camera in the UK. The RX1ii had a variable OLPF around NINE years ago, and yet they're releasing top of the range cameras with no OLPF still. Madness...

I never thought of adding a power bank to my hub, I just thought it didnt work, thanks !

It's worth noting that the SE8's capsule is on the big side for a "small-diameter" mic. This comes with advantages and drawbacks, and it's important to understand both. On the plus side larger capsules tend to have lower self-noise, and that's reflected in the SE8's specs. The only small-diaphragm condensers (SDC) that I know of that bests it in that department is the Sennheiser 8000 series, but those cost 3-4x more. IMO this alone explains the 2 dB noise improvement relative to the Rode NT55. On the plus side larger diaphragm hurts pattern uniformity across frequencies. At high frequencies (8 kHz and above) the diaphragm diameter becomes significant relative to the audio signal's wavelength, and that causes the pattern to "collapse" with reduced off-axis response at high frequencies. The SE8's polar diagrams show that it does so more than smaller-diaphragm SDCs, but less than large-diaphragm mics. It's all a tradeoff. I think that like all SE products the SE8 is a very competently-executed mic, but I don't think that it offers better value than, say, the NT55. It just makes a different tradeoff between on-axis noise and performance and off-axis pattern uniformity. I think that it could be very useful for somebody who only has one cardioid mic, since it's something of a "split the difference" option.

Wow, that sE8 sounds fantastic. While I was planning to get an sE7, I might upgrade straight to sE8.

what is the difference with this and the PONS PT Motorized Pan Head?

Does it work with helios 442 lens?

Great review. Thanks.

Thanks for your video! FYI: I exactly NEED the pause function at each way poing (6:40 in your video).

what a beautiful review. thanks for putting the effort into this video! so helpful! :)))

The light no longer has a noise issue. The complaint was heard by Nanlite and corrected with a firmware update.

Great channel! The work you put into your videos, and your level of expertise is apparent.

It is so sad that you have no idea what you're talking about since you begin by saying there is no difference between a cine lens and your photo optic. WHEW... go work on your lighting since you look like you're in a cave...

Nothing better than a well-researched product. Thank you

Thanks, I really appreciated the real world unprocessed sound : thanks. 👍

sir very useful... more comparisons.... lot of info... thank u so much.... live long...

This is the best review ive ever seen. I wish i had teachers like you

At the end of this video, you mentioned "acquiring" (stealing? LOL) the 50 version, and that you you might do a review of it. I'm debating between the 40 and 50 and so, looked for your review. Didn't find it. Did it happen? If not, care to make any comments about the differences? Thank you. Len

Bravo! Well done. Thank you. Answered a number of my questions, as I'm contemplating purchase.

Many thanks, this is exactly the solution I was looking for as I don't own a laptop!

Excellent video. Thank you.

You didn't just say that Arri and RED only look better because they have specific LUTS did you? Sorry but you are wrong and colorist in Hollywood will tell you that when they have to match A1 vs Arri vs Komodo footage. Colorist don;t just throw a special LUT on their footage and that's they do. That would also mean that you are saying that only RED and Arri are getting the most out of their cameras because of the special LUT. If that was tru Sony would do the same-thing and Sony A1 would look as good as RED and Arri.

Man let's grade that footage correctly. Check the pipeline and use the Pro Res RAW in another program. Dynamic range data from each camera doesn't tell the whole story. Compare some grade footage. You can only tell what a cameras dynamic range is doing if you compare side by side footage.

how do you open up my iphone's storage app????? I don't see it.

The original control cable that came from Tilta got a short in it, do you know a cable that would work as a replacement anybody?

18:51 I haven't seen it in any of the documentation from Sony, but I see it again here. Sony A1 in Slog3 has dual native ISO - 800 and 4000. If you use Cinetone on the Sony A1 the dual gain ISOs demand a lot more light as they are 125 and 640.

Great video

This is the best review I've ever seen of any product.

You’re the best reviewer I’ve come across lately… wow, so much knowledge unpacked with such ease and clarity. You will one day have a million subscribers 🙏🏾💯 and well deserved 👏🏾

I love the A1! I'm still learning things about it. I will probably be using this camera for at least another 5 years.
