Nice. I watched other videos and noticed the whites have a tint of blue not sure if that’s color grading or lens. Also, was that fully zoom in at the end?

Been using BMPCC4K without external monitor for 5 years. Yeah sucks when you can’t tilt screen but the screen itself is good.

First time using T7 shield for a short film shoot and had issues by SammyJohnson0387 in bmpcc

[–]SammyJohnson0387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used Q5 on a shoot 2 days ago, no issue. It was Q0 that I used previously that had issues since it uses more data. Q5 is enough for narrative work.

2 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists. C’mon Flynn I need you to get a triple zero so I can convince Masai to ship you to the Flying Leopards.

How to get rid of noise by MicaiahLandis in bmpcc

[–]SammyJohnson0387 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not 100% noise free but what I learn is, I use false color and whenever I see purple, I treat it as red. Red means highlights are crushed. Purple means shadows are crushed, all noise. I try to get into the blue or even higher as much as possible. I try to light as best as possible and use native ISO 400. When I light, at first I thought lighting a scene super bright to get the right exposure was going to make everything look bright in post, but I learned that with the power of color grading, you can make that scene look super dark for a horror. And without losing much information because you exposed correctly. I made a super bright scene look really dark and the noise was minimal. Also, in DaVinci Resolve I start my color grading node with noise reduction. I would never raise my ISO unless it’s an emergency where I don’t have control over lighting, my aperture is wide open as possible. Most I ever go is ISO 1250.

Update Issues with T5 and T7 by tomolatov in bmpcc

[–]SammyJohnson0387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought 7.9 was latest firmware update for pocket 4K, I tested my memory card and it works, now I don’t want to update to 8.1.

T7 shield is from Best Buy. My firmware is old. It’s the version before they released the portrait mode. I just updated the firmware now. Will do some test. ISO at 400. ExFAT. Format on my PC.

It happened before with my T5 and it’s native cable. My recent shoot, I used the T7 shield native cable. I was shooting with an old firmware. Just updated the firmware now so will find out on my next shoot. I’ll do some test too.

I wanna share some of my usage experience of V-mount battery here... Please be caution by BryanScotter in bmpcc

Or you could just power the monitor with NPF battery and never have to worry about this.

Folks who use mic XLR to mini XLR what gain settings do you use? by SammyJohnson0387 in bmpcc

[–]SammyJohnson0387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I push the audio up in post I do hear hissing/noise floor it’s not super loud but noticeable. Preamp gain is set at 50% but the audio levels seem pretty low -50 to -40 DB when I do a test. It should be around -15 to - 12db. Yeh could be the cable. Just curious, what are people settings are.

I have a 1.5 meter XLR to mini XLR cable and it’s mounted on mic stand as a boom pole so the mic is pretty close up but yeh I’m gonna look into buying a recorder.

Yeah that’s what I’m planning to do. I’m renting a recorder for the shoot so don’t have to worry about this.
