What do you think? Would you use the hand unit for wireless or just the grip? 🎥
$1900!!!!! I’ll stick with the PD movie one for now. Great video as always though 👍
I plan on the $999 Lidar grip kit for my BMP6K Pro.
The video was interrupted by some woman wielding very sharp scissors, it took me a while to realise it wasn’t anyone with whom you are associated expressing their intent to do you harm as a result of the bank balance. It’s impressive , I’d love the control it gives when shooting solo, which is all the time with my Fujifilm XH2S . Hang on I can hear the scissors again!

@@ThisIsLeeBird You get what you pay for in this life. Pro gear is aimed at people who are making money, most of them write their gear off as an expense, they actually want to spend more to get good quality products.
You are easily becoming the best resource for LiDAR related content for creators. Won't be able to get my hands on those bad boys in my lifetime but the presentation is always awesome that I watch the whole thing anyway. Great job, Sam!
Thank you very much 🤩🙏🏻🎥 it’s interesting if anything. Not for everybody but it’s fun and extremely helpful in some situations
Never say never!!! Dji is trying to dig up a huge hole in our pockets but one dayyyyy... ONE DAYYYY WE WILL MADE IT!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The demo model B&H had to try at NAB had so many issues. They said it kept having problems and wasn't worth the headache. Also it doesn't work in low light that great
Ha! That's the most important comment on this video. Will give DJI some time to work out the bugs and do firmware updates. Also might just not be an actual useful tool for production companies.
I would use this 100% of the time. I'm a solo artist. Current settup is a Blackmagic Micro Studio 4K G2 with DZOFILM 20mm-70mm Lens videoing Kaua'i, HI.
Great review! This device seems like a game changer! I'd love to see some comparison samples with this device and a regular gimbal in the future!
Yes..totally agree..me personally someone who is new into "gimbals" this looks like a nice option if I obviously don't go all out and grab a gimbal..and this feels like it would be great with those "natural looking" hand held shots..and casually carry around in the bag even when just doing everyday stuff with your mates and then decide to shoot some video..lol this is really interesting!..
Just WOW
It's interesting. I'm a Stills shooter starting to dabbling with video. This feels like something useful to even overcome AF issues (*cough XH2S cough*). Really I had no idea solutions like this existed. Thank you for opening up my eyes!
For weddings or run and gun shoots I don’t see myself using this, I rather focus on the shoot than than the gear. Sony Autofocus is supreme has not let me down.
Cracking video Buddy .... yes I love it but no not for now as it will just be another bit of kit collecting dust but I do love the Lidar !
Sammy boy, great video brother. As always!

I'm very intrigued by this new system from DJI! As someone who is getting more into TH-cam and filming myself, I really prefer to use manual focus cinema lenses as I just love the look of them. But not having autofocus when filming yourself is really tough sometimes. I held out on buying the LiDAR rangefinder for my RS3 Pro because I was fine pulling focus manually when shooting other subjects. But when it comes to filming myself, I don't want to have to setup a gimbal on a tripod and waste time balancing lenses. Not needing the gimbal, having autofocus on a manual focus lens, and the beautiful grip and wheel system... yeah, I'll probably end up forking up the cash for this one!
The idea of giving any camera body and manual lens really good AF is really exciting.
Your lidar videos convinced me to get the RS3 pro! Thanks for the info. Could you confirm if the Focus pro grip works with the earlier lidar rangefinder? Thanks again :)
This is kind of incredible, and I never would have imagined this tech happening.
Love your video! I think this is really cool! This Lidar system paired with my Lumix S5 would be great.
Great video sam , I do think that future of af is with lidar would he nice to see two company's work together to introduce if into their next official camera release 😀
Same!!!!
Hello!
Great review! Do you know if the compatibility with the previous generation of the LiDAR range Finder is good? I think i’ll get the grip only but didn’t see any info regarding 1st gen Range Finder (firmware updates)?
Looks like the ultimate product for the one-man-band videographer. Looks like there is quite a learning curve to the product, but it looks great! How well does it work hand held?
It’s a bit daunting when you get everything out the box but when you get it set up it’s really easy to get going. Calibrate and you’re sorted 👌🏻🎥
It’s so nice to be able to go handheld with LiDAR now
I would definitely use this! I remember my last shoot when I needed just that as described.
Focus locking and AMF already was present in the DJI Transmission system, if you have the Ronin 4D handles, but it's handy, that DJI now have a standalone focus system and it also has that feature.
I would love to try this out. Would help A LOT when working solo with my Canon C70, which is my usual. Didn't see this full kit on their website, yet.
quick question, does this also work with lenses that do not have hard stops? and what about panasonic Body/Lenses do this System also work without the extra Motor via USB-C connection like with the Ronin System?
Looks like a great device! I'm using the PDMovie lidar on my Meike cinelenses and it works so much better than built in autofocus on prime lenses (in my opinion!) once you get used to setting forward or back focus.. Might need to give this one a try!
Imagine vlogging with this on vacation lmfao. Too much.
This is a great product. I currently use Tilta’s Nucleus M system. It integrates well with the Mirage Mattebox system. From that said, I must say the LiDAR system would be much more suitable for my workflow. Thanks for the review.
I was considering using this on my Canon R5C even though it has auto focus in camera settings, as well as AF mode on Canon RF mount stills lenses, it actually does a decent job. However I still have 0.8 mod pitch geared lenses from DZO, which will come in handy using the DJI Focus pro unit. 🎉 A win for those that have manual lenses that can autofocus on the fly.
Nice review. Thx.
It’s all looks great but we can use it with the gimbal as well right?
I WAS WAITING FOR IT!!! YEY!
Hey! Great video, awesome job. I'm curious, since you're able to power the focus pro via V-mount/external battery. If plugged in externally, does it work without the grip attached? Would be awesome to attach it to the Tilta Ring grip to use as follow focus, it would be much smaller without DJI's battery grip attached.
When will these be available for purchase? It says out of stock on DJI website and B&H it’s says coming soon.
What you described at 9:55 is possible at least with my Ronin RS3 and Sony A74. You can bind a Ronin button to switch AF on/off so it won't focus on a subject passing the frame. It's also handy if you loose focus and just double press it to give the camera the command to "refocus".
Hey, in real world use, how do you find the range, when you look at Sony/Lumix AF, does it reach as far?
what’s the maximum focal length with the lidar do you know? also for parfocal lenses do you set the highest focal length?
Hey sam, can you rig the focus pro with a monitor and xlr handle?
Gh6 owner with stills auto glass 1. Do you need the focus motors given the partnership with DJI & Panasonic, would be interested to see how that works. 2. Does it work at all with auto still lenses? Wishful thinking that the focal length with be communicated via the system partnership. Great video too, excited to see a system where i don't have to buy the gimbal too
Awesome content. Can you use the old LiDAR system with this grip?
You could always use the lidar without the gimbal with a dtap battery and cable. I used to do it on my C70.
Do you need this if you al mainly use auto focus Lenses?
If you’re shooting raw, I bet an aperture pull (like a focus pull but for aperture) would be a really cool effect. Has that been done? I would love to see it
I don’t know much about lidar at all but does that come with this bundle? And does the LiDAR only work with certain cameras? I have A73
How easy is this to transfer from handheld/tripod to a DJI gimbal? I use IRIX lenses which work great with the RS3 and focus motors, but not so great when you want to switch to handheld/tripod for part of a shoot. It would be great if you could just pull it off the gimbal and put onto a tripod or handheld
Brother, didnt see the video yet, but THANK YOU for putting "videography" in the title man... thank you
the latency of transmission? as good as teradek?
How does the LiDAR choose which subject to focus on if there are multiple? Can it integrate a touchscreen so that you can input the focus point?
I'd be very curious how this compares to the units actually used on productions, ie: Preston or Arri WCU hand units, with Light Ranger unit. Typically units like the DJI don't usually do well with all the wireless interference you'd find on proper sets (terradeks, wireless DMX, or WiFi in general). Might save a lot of 1st ACs some money!
I will say though, none of this is terribly new except some of the LiDAR stuff, but this definitely makes it more accessible... That price man... under $1k while Arri or Preston units are typically above $20k!
The link only sends us to the Gimble. Is there a way to add a link for each item of gear needed for this set up?
I think something like this is perfect for solo shooters for docs and such, allowing you to always nail your focus on manual cine lenses. $1k seems like a fairly reasonable price for this system.
It is considering the other options that don’t support lidar and ease of use
Any special features just for lumix cameras?
can you use the motor and focus wheel without the lidar?
Is there any kind of Vertigo preset ? Like they did whith one of their drones, the one that had a zoom.
You still have the Gh6 ? I think it works without the motors on the newer lenses
Great Video
I would love it but is it really worth the 2000 usd
great vid! but here is a random question for you! What colour of paint is that you have?!
Hopefully the new lidar will be compatible/ available to purchase for the Ronin 4D 8K cine camera that I own.
I have somewhat of a weird question. Does the controller work to do manual focus pulls or manual assisted pulls with the S5iix and lumix lenses without a focus motor?
You make great content. Thank you for the time you put into the video. I Just shared Your video inside of my community to see what everyone's thoughts are on it. Personally I think it's not a good fit for MOST people. I'm mostly curious about all the little trouble shooting that has to be done. Overall, DJI has my support as a company leading the industry in innovation and quality. I would not use this piece of equipment, but I can see how it could help a lot of higher end videographers.
Thank you! 🤩🙏🏻🎥 yeh it’s not for everyone but it’s very handy for those who need it
@@SamHolland I'm going back and rewatching all the Rs 3 Promo content from last year's release for a comparison video to help people make "The Better Buy." It's fascinating to see the 2 together.
Is it so much better then latest Sony AF systems?
would be cool to show different rig build outs.
I definitely would use it - assuming I had the dosh...
esta muy buena esa maquinaria!
You can mount top handle just set the distance from sensor...
Will the focus motor from the RS3 pro work with it?
Does the Focus Pro support the Dtap?
Looks like a good bit of kit! Also noticed the Les Paul in the background, what sort of music do you play? Any classic rock?
🎥👌🏻 ooooo yes very much so. If you’re into that you might like my new channel… stay tuned 🤩
How does it compare to the previous version? I had the previous version of the Lidar. I was very frustrated with it. Saving the profiles did not really work and I had to recalibrate all the time. This made it completely unusable in a professional context. The theory of it is great, but it is miles away from internal stabilization of the Sony camera. I say this as BlackMagic user.
Perfect! Just in time for Panasonic to start adding PDAF to all their new bodies 😂😂😂 where was this when I had my GH5 !!!!
Duo gh5 and gh5s here...😂
This makes me regret my latest gimbal purchase from Zhiyun (weebill 3s) not that it's bad but the DJI ecosystem is just on another level :(
Great video bro! I really need that lidar now xD
🤩🎥
Camera designers have to be shaking their head at how far we will go to avoid the in-camera auto-focus. We've basically come full circle here. >.
Good presentation, DJI is innovative. Not for me but useful for BlackMagic users. Lot of complexity and things to go wrong...
Maybe this is a stupid question, but on DJI’s website it says nothing about Lumix cameras in their compatibility list. Surely this is compatible with the S5 ii, right??
Ah, yes, stupid question. I see you’re using it with a Lumix now 😅
how much does it costs?
Can you do a S5II 3.0 firmware video?
I remember when you had 800 subs look at you know, well done mate
Thanks brother 🤩🙏🏻🎥 hope you’re well
hype levels 📈 then I saw the price 😩 but I guess it's not that bad lol 🤷🏻♂ considering the tech that's involved. one day I'd like to jump into the Lidar system, but until then I'm ok with the good ol manual focus lol
Btw @samholland quick lumix S5II question, when you record audio into your S5iix do you set the audio gain record level setting to standard, or low? (I think low is for "loud environments" and gives -12db)
@allen_bernardo_jr hi. I just have it on standard mode 🎥👌🏻
Yeah/Nah nice one Sam but I'll stick with my trusty Zhiyun Crane 2 - still does the job just fine.
Sam..your "setup example" here..how heavy is that..bc for some that is getting a bit much? as far as attachments?..and then this is suppose to be used "handheld"..and with so much on the whole rig..are you getting into the territory of this being kinda contradictory?..heavy setup using handheld?..at some point would you rather just use the gimbal then?..lol
slightly off topic....would you recommend the ranger lens?
They look really nice from an image perspective but I had an issue with the par focal not working which is why I haven’t made the video 😬
@@SamHolland Thanks dude. A back focus issue perhaps.
Maybe I missed something but why is this instead of gimbal?
What model Manfrotto tripod is that you’re using under the camera rig itself? It’s really compact
Hey. It’s cool isn’t it. It’s the Manfrotto head listed in the description but the legs are here - geni.us/EKZh7qz
GREAT for getting low down shots
@@SamHolland much appreciated 🙏🏼
does this work well with Lumix cameras? i remember they had a partnership awhile ago that basically got rid of the motor is that still the case with the new lidar pro?
It does. Here’s the video I did to show that exact thing th-cam.com/video/jZm9cVyXE5E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cx5ADucym-5Lc75M
@@SamHolland oooo great!! do you think its worth getting the dji pro Lidar or should I just get the old lidar range finder
Expensive, maybe. Depends! If you are comparing it with arri, or Preston kits it’s stupid cheap. However, for those of us working in that world, we make money with our gear by renting it to the production we are working on.
To get lidar and full fiz abilities, $1800 is a steal.
I have an OP3. With it, I don't need any other camera and the related accessories any more.
What if you already have an RS3 Pro and the Lidar Kit that goes with it? Can you upgrade without buying all new gear?
That's my question too. Hopefully I could just buy the new grip and it would be compatible with the old motor and lidar from the rs3 pro combo, buuuuuut I doubt it
A lidar system built into a top handle???
1:06 Also how they deliberately redesign every new generation in a way that makes current accesories incompatible. Of course some other companies do alot of that, but I don't think anyone else is that "thourough" on that front
How does the Lidar work with zoom lenses? Just figured since it measures distance of focal length, it would have issues when your lens is zooming in or out. Just curious. Thanks
Cine lenses are parfocal
@@Studiotek I'm aware, but I'm talking about changing focal lengths. The LIDAR unit needs to know the Focal Length of each lens. So, if you set your Lidar Profile to 28mm and then zoom in to 50mm, does that affect the LIDAR's accuracy?
How do you think it replaces the Gimbal? If you're doing long walks, the gimbal is genius.
It replaces the gimbal if you WANT it to replace the gimbal. 🙏🏻🎥
Nice video
I would say this is a tool designed to enhance filmmaking for small teams and make life easier especially for narrative projects. For people filming themselves or vlogging, better off sticking to in camera autofocus with native lenses depending on the brand.
The amount of detail to this piece is definitely not for everyone but rather an investment for a small production crew or company that work in small teams.
Great breakdown though, under 15 minutes, all makes sense.
You know what though... I'm not opposed to the price though!!! I thought this was gonna be a $4,000 upgrade.. nope! More like $900 for the good stuff.
Has anyone done any tests with the LiDAR in low light conditions? Since regular camera autofus uses a different system to focus, is it safe to say that LiDAR works much better in low light?
Yeh check this video out - th-cam.com/video/QObqDbLGTqE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AraTIthiTBnC5SlA
IM CURIOUS about the raven eye
Does this work for photography as well? It would be incredible to turn vintage primes into AF portrait lenses
@@WhenWillILearn well I could think of a bunch of reasons why it would'nt, like only beeing able to have continues af and not beeing able to lock for example.. mayebe the system is only active in video not photomodes? so I asked to find out
Would be incredible if we would be able to have this work as a sort of 'back button focus' option
This system is independent of the camera modes, it'a gadget for lenses and cameras without reliable AF@@Tijlliekens
VR headset integration needed - look through the lens through hte headset...
I buy it one month ago a LIDAR and sorry this isn't perfect ... 600€ for that ouch :/ The LIDAR has a lot of problem if your stage isn't perfectly lightened or if you need to be dynamic. Also don't try to use it without gimball, he work great than decide to decalibrate more and more
The link to DJI goes to the Ronin gimbal. Not the focus pro or hand grip or lidar. You may want to update that... Im interested in the price for these items, but still trying to find them on the DJI website... You should be getting some affiliate commissions on these but I don't think you will be with this bumbling...
what are you selling. Please simplfy?
yeah and the horrible lidar arm they use. Can't they provide a flexible angle so we can get that lidar much closer to the field of view of the lens you're using? I'm tired of the lidar not seeing quite what my lens is seeing. It makes it's focus decisions a little 'off'
