Never thought I'd be doing camera tour videos LOL
Patience and time it requires to build it. Its amazing
I just got a Sony ZV E10, on your recommendation and I love it. I know it’s not a pro camera but it’s my first real one. I decided it was time to get serious and put the Powershot down and pick up something more quality for my first camera purchase.
You broke the rule of photography, always invest more in lens over body hahahaha
Show us some Commercials you make with it or some Movies :)
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!! 👑🇯🇲🔥💥🌟⭐💯💎
I wouldn't write off the EVF so quickly. The LCD monitor is more for reference anyway, but using the actual EVF eyepiece is much better than an external monitor in my opinion. Aside from an accurate picture of your frame, you also benefit from a focused view, sans distractions or ambient light, of what you're shooting. External monitors have brought so much convenience to filmmakers, but there are some real upsides to the old school method of using an eyepiece.
This was a Small HD monitor review disguised as an arri mini lf camera build 😅
100%
matti is more a youtuber with excess funds aspiring to do his first real thing. Feels like the step from mirrorless to ARRI is not up to the skillset yet. you'll find a lot of DoPs using viewfinders on real sets. be it commercial or film. Still envy him for being able to afford this, even if it's more like a toy than a workhorse for him.
I have bad eyes, I used to have to use the eyepiece shooting basketball games and I was always getting soft images trying to focus. But I can see your point
Legit! I always operate with the viewfinder.
Yah Matti! Stoked to see the projects you have upcoming on this rig! Heres some support towards extra memory that thing is going to rip though
I have your ND filters for my gopro hero 9 :D
@@mariusandersen2952 :)
@@mariusandersen2952 So that's basically your money he just gave to him :)
I've worked in the film industry for a little over 23 years and it's crazy how much camera equipment has been minimized. It used to be a pain to get space on a set with the old 35mm cameras, worse if the magazines were 1000ft.
Now it's much easier to move around, especially for steadycam operators.
Great video Matti, I really enjoyed it
Still, compared to consumer cameras, these are giant. Probably they don't use custom silicone, otherwise it could be 4-5 times smaller.
And what about Sony Venice cameras, where you can detach whole sensor and hold just a little box, while rest of the camera is on your back or somewhere else conected via cable (up to 12 meters) and fit it places you would never be able to. James Cameron could walk around with whole two sensor IMAX 3D camera rig by himself.
@@Stasiek_Zabojca I worked on the original Avatar and Alita Battle Angel ; )
I’ve PM’ed a ton of large scale commercials and we still shoot 70% on 435 or so. Last 2 years I’ve done 30 sets and we are shooting on LF/mini/ 435 & it blows my mind into why….
@ravholly what did you contribute exactly? Mostly just curious.
we got it dude, you bought an arri....
Now you can do cinematic b-rolls with a $100K camera 😂
The EVF to me is one of the best features of the LF…allthough yes, the screen could definitely be better but tp be able to switch quickly between evf and a screen is very practical, and when run-and gunning i dont really think you need a seperate monitor. I really miss this on other cameras which often dont have such an integrated EVF
Curious what projects you work on (other than TH-cam videos) that would justify the purchase of this camera?
Great question.
Watching you giving this tour made me realize that everything is possible in the content creator world matti. You always inspire me. Cant wait to see the epic content you will create with this beast 😊
This video feels like when I was in elementary school and my friend invited me over to his parents house to watch him play computer games. 😁
"It's adult lego" LOL! Couldn't have worded it any better. I remember when I was first building my rig, it was literally like going through a fresh new Lego set as a kid.
In 1989, I took a course at the ARRI factory in Munich on Türkenstraße, where I learned to disassemble and reassemble the 16SR, ARRI 3, and BL4. I still have my certificate, and I’ll never forget watching live on TV on 9th November as the Wall was being demolished. After finishing my course, I took a train to Berlin and managed to bring back a small piece of the Wall with me. I’m very happy to see how ARRI has evolved to become the leader in the industry.
Honestly the EVF is the best part of the miniLF imo,
I wish this video existed years ago but I am glad you made it. It will definitely help a lot of people who are starting out never having touched an arri before. It is important to note that for power while you can have lower voltage batteries, for the arri 35 and the red monstro you need 24 volts. And this is for anyone to know, because if you get either of those cameras on a project and you don't have 24 volt batteries the camera will NOT turn on at all. Hope this helps someone.
Yep it’s for the next gen filmmakers 😊
@@mattih love that
You don't actually need 24v for the red monstro. I use 12v vmounts with it all the time through the standard vmount plate. I think the Raptor XL uses 24v tho
@@joshkiddfilms1295 You're right that's my bad it is the Raptor XL. There so many names I can't keep track of them all. Good catch.
Appreciate this video as I still 100% get anxiety looking other people's rigs, thinking I don't know what I'm doing. Demystifying it helps a lot, thanks!
Matti, your enthusiasm is contagious. The channel has progressed. Congratulations on the camera and executive producer. Props!
Yo matti excited that you got you an Alexa. When you DP in a major city in the states let me know I would love to be your AC and help clean up the build for you lol. Congrats again man !
Matti: "So you might have heard I bought a $90,000 Cinema camera..." 🎥
Me: You mean the one you've mentioned if your last 13 videos? 😋😆
Yes that’s the one 😊
I would recommend using the P-tap on the battery mount rather than directly on the battery, avoids having to unplug/plug it back every time you change your battery.
Watching from Kenya... how I wish I even had my own camera .. You inspire alot of young people especially me❤😢
This really helped!!! Thank you.
I started work in film industry a year ago and I got a chance to work on big production as a first film experience and before that time I've never seen cinema camera before. I felt like I really interesten in it, but the look of the camera freaked me out - all those kabels and bracket, i had no idea how it works and I'm still learning:) So when I poped into this video and I heard the first words, I was like - omg that exactly what I thoungh and how I felt. Thank you for this video! So usefull!
Bro. Why are you using a 50 ohm BNC cable for your monitor on $90K+ camera?
That cable is for time code, not video transmission.
You need a 75 Ohm SDI cable and connectors.
Look forward to seeing what you do with it. Welcome to the world of “need more accessories”. It never ends, but its so much fun. Sure doesn’t look “mini” - I kid! I kid! Enjoy your cam!
The Matthew Lilard look alike is crazy!
Could you maybe ship this to / meet with Gerald so he can run it through his test suite? It would be really interesting to see his opinions and the tests he does.
Yes i know cined probably has done the DR and sensor readout speed tests, but it's always good to have another point of reference.
Cheers.
Would be cool to know how much different a really pro lens would look like versus a budget lens in this camera
I'd love to see a "budget" L-PL lens...
@@eruannster The lens he is using is a budget lens
Wow! Amazing video! (one thing though - maybe not have that shallow depth of field with the camera in front of you)
You actually forgot to mention one really crucial thing Sir Matti...A Gym Membership! Happy to witness these monumental and motivational milestones as always.
I see lot of people hating on you! I guess just to justify their failure! Lol
You earned it, you bought it, you do whatever you want to do with it.
You are not answerable to anyone! Do whatever you want, sir!
Good luck!
Congrats Matti, the camera looks beautiful
This is epic! I'm so stoked for you! Congratulations on your acquisition. I hope you really, really, really enjoy it.
Well, we are looking forward for movies Matti. Let's go!
I am lucky enough to have used one of these
Can't wait for the output. Matti! Congrats! 🎉🎥👏🏼
I'm really enjoying this new era! Congrats 👏👏👏👏
Cool setup. You need the DJI AI autofocus system strapped into your rig.
Congratulations! Hopefully I get to the level you are at. I just got 2 Canon R5 systems and working on my product photography portfolio and watch some more Tin House Studio. Im experimenting with the the 3D VR lens right now.
Okay, great, now what amazing film will you make with this? Because gear is power obviously. So show us how your gear will translate to you making award winning movies, which actually ironically does not require the most expensive gear.
Dude an EVF is so much better than a monitor. And yes the fold away LCD screen on the MVF-1 sucked but the one on the MVF-2 which you have is the best one out there
Love it Matti!!
Man, I feel like a jerk for saying this, but when even a multi-million dollar movie rents this camera, you owning it for social media likes is, well, kind of gross.
You don’t know what else he’s going to use this for lol. Commercial production houses often own cameras. DPs often own cameras to help them get work (the production pays an extra rental rate to the DP in that case). Matti’s been saying he wants to do more non-TH-cam work for years, and he even said in this video that he’s not using it for TH-cam most of the time. I know a guy who bought an Alexa Mini several years ago to get his foot in the door as a drone cinematographer and now he’s working on Disney and Marvel productions. When you’re working, expensive gear pays for itself.
@@Billitteri You very well may be right, maybe this is an "ad" for rental business, but all I can see is what I can see.
Man I really can’t wait to deep dive into filmmaking
What kind of project will you put it to use? For what you do, sony cameras fits better. This will be a pain in the ass. Also, you're doing so much gear related videos, but id like to see more "filmaking" related videos (sure gear is a part of it), i mean more art related, scene direction, etc. Im bored by gear.
where is the record button?
You’d need a vibranium spinal cord to handheld that without an easyrig
I've heard you have a pretty big deadlift
Haha yea it’s a liiiiiittle heavy 😂 but not insane
@@mattih next video
“Back routine for filmmakers “
@@AnthonyGugliotta I might post one day 😂
You should make a competition with Peter and Chris Ramsay - who makes the most epic b-roll with the equipment each has. You ofcourse will have to try compete with your 100k camera. Would make one epic collab between channels of you 3. Each making an intro for imaginary puzzle for Chris' channel.
Hey Matti, lovely videos, just a tiny suggestion - could you shoot a less shallow DOF because my eyes keep going to the desk where the camera is and its all blurry...
That was super informative! Thanks for the walk through.
How do you record audio? Do you put a microphone on it?
Thanks for this. Very informative and entertaining!
The Arri CCM-1 should do the trick on ditching that bulky viewfinder setup!
Fruits passion man!😁
Bro , pl make a short video with this camera ,may b a vlog 😮 ,a vlog with aree Alexa, very cool , excited to see what this beast can film .. looking forward for that video..😮
Also curious Matti, did you consider the Alexa35?
আপনার ভিডিও আমার কাছে খুব ভালো লাগে 🇧🇩
Here's total noob questions ... what about sound? Also, how do you keep track of your assets on a shoot?
Don't know anything about an Arri, but in most forms of serious filmmaking, picture and sound recording are entirely separate processes, they don't come together until post-production. Audio has its own tools of the trade.
Can't wait to use it on my tik tok video
Jo Matt, they literally just released a monitor with full control through the evf port, so I guess you’re in luck, cause the only thing that seemed to annoy you about the camera got a very anticipated upgrade. Congrats on the new camera and enjoy the new “CCM-1” release. Get ready to spend some money tho.
Happy for you man. Please send me the camera you've stopped using. Who knowz it might be the beginning of my film career. Love from Zambia
nice beast. What are you going to use this for?? :) Greetings from Chicago :)
Secrets 😊
Very nice , I'm waiting the next
thx for the build!
I would like to see some footage from it. I know many videos out there but maybe some comparison videos with other brands like Sony or iPhone 14 or Samsung S whatever is the last would be fun to watch :)
dude almost fried the SDI you gotta be kidding me lol
How many times do you check the top handle to make sure its tight lol.
Amazing! Thank you!
Do you rent it / partner with Rental company ? I have no clue what's your business model as I only see your youtube videos. Impressive camera !
Hey Matti! ARRI just revealed the CCM-1 which does exactly what you were wishing for at 13:15! They collaborated with SmallHD so you get full camera control and all the tools of a SmallHD monitor.
thank you for this video but WHERE IS FOCUS BROOOO ?
I'll stick to my fx30. Also DZO Lenses on a 90k body? Balance seems completely off haha.
quite an amateur look over a highly professional camera
Cool! Thanks for sharing it ✌️
When the Mini becomes XXL in 15 minutes lol, but the images are fantastic so it’s worth it.
So excited about you brother 😎🤙🏻
I’d love to see you FPV this one 😂
Could you do a tutorial on how to set the camera up?
I bet that native LCD is for actors and other ppl on set who want/need to see it, but can’t crowd around your and the director’s monitors.
Congrats! awesome investment
👏Well done. Thank you.
Super relatable title.
Great video!
you provided so many details which i'm grateful for but you never said how much you paid for it, which is weird considering you said it "costs $90,000 USD - i didn't pay that much for it" and then proceeded to omit how much you did pay for it, so it seems like a deliberate choice to not share that information. just wondering why?
He mentioned the price in a previous video and even shared the moment he went to the bank and make the deposit. I think was around 65K.
I'l be going for a poor man's version of this with the new Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K when I can save enough pennies. So inspiring to have the right tools for the job. Loved this walk-through. °¬)
Thank you for this one.
You can fry your SDI Output, SDI is the last to plug with the monitor turn on if you use the same Power with the camera and monitor
I hope you'll share more of the actual working process with the ARRI once you start stretching it's legs. I will never hold an ARRI but nonetheless I hope you will share how you work on set - camera settings, aspect ratio, framing, lighting, camera movement, composition, color science, etc. Let us follow you as you venture deeper into the DP space.
what a FLEX
Can you do a video testing the camera? Like testing footages
With all respect, I love you and hate you for this video...lol
Man, this was an awesome deep look into this setup. One day i will get there, hopefully.
Dang ruthlessrog that was ruthless
just in case I ever want to drop 200k on my TH-cam camera haha
Well, on a positive note. It looks less complicated than a do-it-yourself FPV build. 😂😂😂
Is it correct that the alexa35 has more dynamic range, and if so, why ?!
I want " 1 " of everything and TWO of those !
“I’ve never been an AC before, and I’ve only been a DP”- you
Has anyone seen an Ad he made? I mean with such a camera I expect someone to work on very large production sets😮
Ohmy still waiting for the footage
So sick
matti can you do a GOPRO review after this lololol
Buying a camera like that for filming B-roll? Makes no sense.
