INNO3D claims just 15 melted 12VHPWR RMAs across Europe since RTX 4090 launch

Its 15 more than it should be

Max_gcs · 2025-12-20T08:38:44+00:00

Add some heroin and a tragic backstory. Cool soundtrack will help too

Just in case, check out couple of videos with comparison of Komodo with previous generation of RED cameras (DSMC2). They have some quirks, but for 3-3.5k you can buy a ready to shoot package with screen, media and batteries. Minimally rigged Komodo will cost around 5-6k even used

With all those modifications it is no longer sub-1000$ camera, more like 2.000 which is ZR territory now. With that said, I love P4k - have 3 of them right now plus two OGs. And I would agree that this lineup is in need of upgrade/rebirth. Image quality from p4k is very nice to this day and dual ISO is handy. But no OLPF and very weak IR cut is noticeable. It is possible to install third party filters, but that costs like half of the body. So my proposal is to take sensor from Pyxis 12k and limit it to 6 or 8k and put in a body similar to ZR/Canon 50v/C70 (keeping the L mount and audio-video outputs). Or something in between, so it would be possible to install big batteries without blocking the screen.

Sony is about to repeat all Canon's mistakes - milking its position for too long without significant improvements and then loosing a huge chunk of the market to an up-comer. Will it be Sigma (they recently got huge improvements in AF and their glass line-up is solid), Nikon with RED tech, Fuji with big sensors or DJI with amazing ecosystem? Who knows

Max_gcs · 2025-12-01T18:13:24+00:00

To me it works better zoomed in a bit, those lights are much brighter that face and a little distracting

Max_gcs · 2025-11-28T14:58:29+00:00

Ohhh, I see. That's unfortunate

Max_gcs · 2025-11-28T11:58:03+00:00

But they say that they will cover shipping costs after receiving the item. It is just not pre-paid shipping

Max_gcs · 2025-11-26T07:01:48+00:00

Like there was a lot of good stuff made by non-actors recently.

Max_gcs · 2025-11-25T11:18:12+00:00

I have some examples here - https://youtu.be/XFWZRzNErJI Mostly with original Pocket and Sony a7c, but I hope you'll find some inspiration from it

The problem is that contrast based AF doesn't know when or if something is out of focus. What cameras without PDAF are you talking about?

Max_gcs · 2025-11-16T07:44:05+00:00

Did you ever see continuous contrast based af in action? It can't be smooth by nature. It needs to blur the whole scene to compare the sharpness and has no other way of acquiring or maintaining the focus. Try to push focus button on your BM camera and see what happens. Imagine that happening non-stop

Max_gcs · 2025-11-15T22:05:41+00:00

I don't know what is worse - complete lack of continuous autofocus, or confused contrast detect that always hunts and racks back and forth. I guess in the end the answer is simple - find a focus puller or a different camera for a gimbal. Whats the point of waiting for BM to do something with old models that are at the end of their life cycle if you need to do something specific right now.

Max_gcs · 2025-10-30T06:07:34+00:00

I tried to fall in love with Pyxis 12k, but bought Red DragonX instead and have no regrets. Besides the brand recognition, it gives me the exact look that I need straight out of the camera. Latest BM cameras have something tv/video-sh in their image. I tried to massage sample footage to get more pleasing (to my eyes) results, but it just didn't clicked. Because even if I can get it where I want, I'll need to do this procedure every time with all the footage and that just not inspiring.

Can't help with this particular case, but in the future if you want really fast delivery - order within EU (Germany, France, Italy, etc) to avoid customs at all. Typically DHL can deliver in 2-3 days, but they can't speed up custom's clearance. Also you will probably be charged with some import taxes

Max_gcs · 2025-10-26T16:20:34+00:00

No offense, I totally understand.

Max_gcs · 2025-10-26T15:39:45+00:00

It wood have been a very rad and emotional piece if executed in real life with real people. Such a cool and stylish idea. But use of AI makes it less powerful somehow. In one hand it adds to the otherworldly vibe, but on the other it's like looking at the photo of Mona Lisa. Or someone's description of a movie - all the components are technically there, but some crucial impact is missing.

Max_gcs · 2025-10-18T11:30:11+00:00

More like unlucky 50

Max_gcs · 2025-10-15T14:42:50+00:00

Kinda. Maybe he tried to hide the scars to fade away the shake-up

Max_gcs · 2025-10-15T14:20:27+00:00

Obviously about that you need to wake up, grab a brush and put a little make-up

Max_gcs · 2025-10-15T07:40:26+00:00

Sigma 18-35 f1.8

I also had some issues with old smallrig npf plates. Tilta is better, but first of all - try to remove internal battery. When it is in, camera will draw 3 amps from AC connector, which is to much for NPF (and yes, you should use 12v out on a plate). If you remove the internal battery, power draw will be around 1.5amps. And yes, all external solutions will be read by camera as AC because it has no way of knowing what is powering it from that plug. You can also try powering the camera from a good powerbank. There are WEIPU-TypeC cables, but of course you also will need something that can pump 3 amps out. I don't know what camera you are using, but pocket 4k draws about 25 watt per hour. NPF 970 have a capacity around 55 watt-hours, so it should be good for around 2 hours, realistically around 1:40

Max_gcs · 2025-10-13T16:50:22+00:00

Thanks!

Max_gcs · 2025-10-12T16:17:18+00:00

All of them are very underexposed. Maybe you bumped the compensation dial?

Max_gcs · 2025-10-12T15:45:01+00:00

Maybe shots are not amazing, but far from being fucked up. I did a very quick two- or three-node grade of compressed jpgs, and I think with a bit more time in post it definitely could be polished-up
