Bro this is the cleannesttttt intro i've ever seen on youtube hands down
Thank you so much!!
Pretty Crazy!
Holy cow, the first 30 seconds or so was GOLD!! 😍🎥 I think I've watched that part 5 times now. 😂😂 Really impressed by Basecamp! Convenience drives a lot of my decisions. If I had a cinema lens setup, this would probably be what I'd go with, haha! Great video Ben!
Thank you Connor!! Means a ton! That whole first part was all just experimenting and hoping it comes together in the edit haha.
Randomly came across this. The intro got me. Watch the whole thing. I wasn’t even planning on buying anything. But now I am. Thanks Ben. Oh I subscribed too.
Nice review! If I hadn't bought the Wooden Camera Zip Box a few months ago otherwise I would seriously look into getting one of these! Great review and love the orion anamorphics you're using
Thank you!
Wow!! A vlog done using Atlas Orion Anamorphic glass..!! that is a special one.. This review helped us in a big way to order Basecamp since we were wondering whether it would be a fit for Atlas Orion, even though they said 114mm.. Thank you so much Ben :)
Not being able to use the pro mist and Vari ND is what makes me hesitant on jumping on this. You're the only one I've seen point that out so far -solid review!
Thank you! They are releasing their own line of pro mist filters, but it doesn't look like you can stack them with the Vari ND unfortunately. This product definitely has its place in the market, meant to offer an extremely light weight solution for scenarios when you need to change exposure quickly. In situations where this isn't as important, it might be wise to invest in a piece of gear where you can stack multiple filters. I use my Tilta Matte box 50% of the time, and then this Basecamp 50% of the time, just depends on the needs of production :)
@@BenHessFilms exactly this, too bad, I would have love to have one solution for everything.
They now sell mist + variable nds in one filter, that made me take the jump.
Hey Ben!! I would love to see your setup on how you did the product shots with the lights! Keep killing it man!!
Definitely! I got some BTS of how we shot it, so I can definitely make a video on that! Thanks for the support!
thanks bro i will have this matte box soon
Bro, you're flexin' for that intro to get it on board. Got another sub off the BAT!
Thank you so much! Means a lot!
Can you put a pro mist on your lens, and then mount the matte box onto the circular pro mist?
hi ben, im watching this in july 2020 and i don't see any diffuser filter from polarpro...were you talking about another brand?
Now that they added the 3rd stage filter, I am going to pull the trigger on this system. What are your thoughts on this system over a year later? Working with all Zeiss classic glass now, but eventually will move to cinema lenses and I think this will be a good long term investment. Great video. Thanks!
Oh yeah, that's another question I had. So there's no way to mark the circular polarizer so you know when it hits the end to avoid horrible blue tints?
Was this a RED filming a RED? Redception - The basecamp looks sick!
Thanks so much! And yes, red filming a red haha
but how about tilting the glas to avoid reflections? are there screws to tilt the hole matte box up and down?
This Intro🔥
Thank you!
Will it work with smaller photo lenses as well. I have a set of nikon primes with step up rings to 82 mm.
I just received mine, question, can't use the VND without the pola right? so can't use Pola and VND at same time, getting ND effect and polarisation on reflections?
no
Man your inspiration bro, nice review. I’m still shooting mirrorless at the moment lumix cams. So I’m still using smaller Nd filters the Peter McKinnon 2-5 stop edition love it. I would definitely recommend something like this if I get a red. It’s mike from Instagram. Love ur content!
Thank you so much Mike, means a lot!! The Peter Mckinnon filters are so good! I think these might be the same glass actually!
Nice Ben, what’s up with the atlas set up wit the bmpcc? Lots of Chromatic aberration?
Thanks Rudy! Yeah, you will get some CA at low f-stops with the BMPCC since it has a 1.6x crop factor. When get to f4 most CA begins to go away though!
Ben Hess nice too. Thanks Ben.
Nice too know**
Is the focus on the Mattebox ??? and the back of the shirt neck?
What do you mean?
@@BenHessFilms I think he means the focus of your video seems a little bit behind your eyes - as your eyes appear slightly soft or oof, while the mattebox is quite tack sharp. It's minor, but it's there, we will survive lol... good review Ben. Thx. Just unsure to invest into a brand's unique filter sizes... when the entire industry is based on a standard format.... price vs more expensive, but if you ever upgrade, change, you have NDs that are standard....
Can i use a Pro Mist Filter in back of the system? (Lens-Circular Promist-Mattebox with VND and CPL)
is the polariser always "enabled" ?
At some point in the video I seen you using a nucleus m handle. Was that on a red or something else? Also, am I able to see a picture of that setup with the nucleus m?
Nice review! If I shoot both photos AND videos, which system would you recommend, if you can only pick one (either the Summit or the Basecamp) because of budget concerns? They are targeting the Summit at photographers and the Basecamp at videographers... I’m using the Fuji XT2 system btw...
Hmm, I'd personally go with the video one since I feel like you'd use the ND for videos far more than you would use and ND for photos!
That intro was freaking dope. I am blown away and jealous of your anamorphic lens ;)
I am planing of buying this mattebox soon because right now you geht the 6-9 stop ND for free with your order. After researching I have some questions about this mattebox. Would it be possible to attach a stylistic filter like a Black pro mist as a screw on filter directly to the lens and then attach the mattebox on the the lens/the filter? That would be very important for me.
The second thing I heard it that when using the polarizer with the ND to use it as a variable ND filter you loose the polarizing effect. Is that true?
I hope you can help me with my questions and especially with my first one because it would be a deal breaker for me. :)
"Yes, you can have a pro mist filter on your lens and then use the front threading on the filter to attach the appropriate thread plate adapter from the base camp system." - answer straight from B&H staff, but not sure if this really answers your question though? =/
B. Moye thanks that was really helpful and I will give this setup a try. I hope it wound effect the characteristics of the Pro Mist too much.
Thank you for your answer :)
Can't you use a Pro Mist filter on the lens and then use the Basecamp on top of that? I literally just ordered this and that was the only way it would be worth my while because I'd wanna use my Tiffen Pro Mist 1/8 on a lot of shots. Please let me know.
They’re releasing pro mist style filters very soon, and there is a off brand attachment where you can put standard 4x5.65 filters on it. Just do a quick google search and you’ll find it
@@BenHessFilms I already have a Pro Mist filter that goes directly on the lens. Wouldn't I be able to use that though with the Matte Box?
Is it possible to use my current Tiffen 4x4 filters in this system?
Oops just looked further into it and looks like I can’t
unfortunately it is not :/
thanks!
If you’re using a stills lens, can you screw on a diffusion filter then attach this matte box? Or is that not possible? If the filter has a thread it seems like it should work. Thanks.
As in lens, then diffusion filter, then matte box? As long as you can screw onto the diffusion filter it would work!
hey man, great review! can you confirm it's possible to use only the VND (with no CP filter installed) and have a clean image?
normally this is an obvious question, but I noticed on their site it does not suggest that VND can be used by itself (just ND).
Thanks so much Nick! I'll test this and get back to you, but I think it wouldn't work. You'd probably have to use the NDs
Thanks for the video. Can I srew on a Tiffen Black Promist on the lens and the PolarPro Basecamp on this one ?
Yes, that should work, as long as you can screw on a filter onto of the promist filter
What a mint intro, my dude. What's the song in that first part?
Thank you Julian! Outbreak by Fasion
Can I used these mattbox on Sigma 18-35 - 72mm??
Yes
Can i attach atlas lens anamorphic into my bmpcc 6k bro ?
if it has atlas has the EF mount attached
@@BenHessFilms thank you
😍
Thank you!!
They make you pay $40 for each of their thread plates which is bullshit! It does not come with a 72mm nor a 67mm thread plate. This means you will have to pay an additional $80 for his team to work with most of your lenses (they don't make a 55mm thread plate.) I'm upset that no on mentions this nor has anyone calls them out for it. Also the thread plates are made out of cheap plastic but some how they are $40 each.
great now your telling me we have to sell all our 4x4 and 4x5.65 filters cause we cant adapt them on this matte box way the go polar pro ...Way the go
It would have made probably a little more sense for them to do a universal size to use other filters, but you'd have to still buy the new filters for the variable ND capabilities.
A more nuanced review than most in this first batch...
Thank you!
make a tutorial of how to do this kind of intro!
Bro your footage has vignetting, please check, cus if we have vignetting than it is not good enough yet.
at what point do you see vignetting?
4:26 your eyebrow started to talk
hahaha
dang that intro sequence got me all hot n bothered. sheesh!
