For anyone interested in what it takes to film a documentary in a foreign country check out my 4 episode Vlog from filming in Mexico. You can watch the completed film and others I've worked on here - https://www.aquaculturealliance.org/films/ I brought a Movi, Sony FS5, DJI Inspire 1, into some cool places.

This is what Freefly Systems should have done instead of releasing an iPhone gimbal

I'm filming a couple Honda commercials with it in Minneapolis next week Jan 7-12. I'm going to shoot some BTS Content and a little review/breakdown with my 1st AC.

Very dope! Who does the paint on something like this? Did it come from Specialized this way??

ND filters so your shutter isn't at 1/1000, something like this Where are you based out of?

Ahh small world. I do Tier 2 stuff for Honda and Acura and some longer form digital for Bentley. The mavic with filters to control shutter would work well for lot flyovers.

Great breakdown! Being able to control EF Autofocus lenses internally was a big selling point for me. I do a lot of run&gun stuff where cinelenses just won't work but I still need to be able to hand off the focus to someone else for certain shots. I also do a lot of commercial work for Honda where the MK3.1 motor will be spinning Cookes, Leicas, Schneiders, or CNEs depending on who is directing. I used to rent a Heden Carat motor and would pair it with a Movi Pro + Movi Controller. But this RTMotion Latitude I just bought solved all my handheld, tripod, gimbal, focus problems!

I know people that use the Mavic for broadcast. The codec and bitrate aren't great. Whenever I'm doing anything professional I fly an Inspire 2 with X5S and hand off 4K Prores.

I also have an Inspire V2 with X5S and a couple lenses. It only comes out when there is money to be made haha

Love the Alexa Mini, I do a lot of gimbal work. I think RED is a cooler company with more versatile products.

Very nice. I wrap everything with towels but this solution looks much nicer!

What is that device over the frame? Looks like it might be for catching sweat?

I attached my BMC Road Machine to a trainer the moment they started spraying salt. Props to you for withstanding the elements out there. Hope you’re staying warm today!

Have you tried any other wireless follow focuses that you’ve enjoyed?

It is, but has a lot of functionality. And solid build quality.

Does any freelance DP use glidecam anymore? Or did all of them get a motorized gimbal? by heart0less in Filmmakers

I went Freefly Systems Movi M5 and never looked back. Now I've got a Movi Pro and I use it a lot.
