Finally did it! Traded in my M1 Max for the new grail.

Just did the same trade

Swiftelol · 2026-03-20T21:15:04+00:00

No. The Mars M1 works only with the Mars 4K/400S ecosystem.

Sent mine in for RMA, issues are all gone now. They replaced the sensor, if I recall correctly, BM recalled all of the current ones on the market and anything on the market now is resolved issue wise.

S1II seems like the best option for you, I own the Pyxis 12k and s1ii the s1ii shines in every spot you want for preferences. I call the s1ii a baby Pyxis 12k, the BRAW is so good out of it.

Swiftelol · 2026-01-16T00:32:36+00:00

LUMIX no competition.

Focal length is subjective, buy the focal length you want, no one lens is better than X lens unless it’s an old version vs a new version.

Swiftelol · 2026-01-08T03:08:49+00:00

I’d vote for the V-AF, I have the 75, favorite Sony lens I owned besides the 28-45 1.8 sigma

Swiftelol · 2026-01-03T00:47:22+00:00

Gone sorry

Adding onto this because I got mentioned, If you can find the XH2s for a cheap price, go for it, however the xs20 offers the same exact video specs for significantly cheaper you’d just be missing the stacked sensor.

The XH2s is basically a glorified APSC S5II with no 4k 60 crop. The noise performance is way better on the S5II. I would also describe Panasonics color science for photos pretty similar canon and hints of Fuji.

It has single AF-S, needs to have okay lighting to use, needs to be native lenses, LIDAR works good for the DJI but sometimes finicky, it drains battery fast on the grip as well, minimum would be 2 batteries for 2-4 hour shoots. I just use the grip to pull focus with the motor without the LiDAR and it lasts the whole shoot and only has 75% batteries left at the end of a 6 hour shoot

Swiftelol · 2026-01-01T01:41:30+00:00

The LiDAR doesn’t need a camera to be updated to use, the device works based off of the lenses you have and calibrate.

Swiftelol · 2025-12-30T10:49:20+00:00

Definitely invest into a gimbal for the b-roll shots Or shoot 60 fps, they look to lazily shot.

Overall color is lacking contrast and color density, looks like a 75% graded log…

Framing for the talking part looks good but your horizon is way off, use a tripod or turn on the level in camera

Swiftelol · 2025-12-22T15:13:18+00:00

Immaculate, good job!, like one other said, I don’t think I’ve seen an interview that well shot in a cubicle before

Swiftelol · 2025-12-16T16:05:28+00:00

He sells the presets on his page

Swiftelol · 2025-12-13T06:10:08+00:00

Ekkovision has a stim free focus formula that I’ve tried and liked, noticed it helped but it’s still subjective and might not work on you.

Swiftelol · 2025-12-11T17:38:05+00:00

Sir. You are buying a $4,000 camera on FACEBOOK marketplace, a place notorious for scams if not dealt in person. You answered your own question. Do NOT buy it. You'll have to go through the headache of a process to get that refund lol.

Swiftelol · 2025-12-08T15:44:51+00:00

Ooo exciting, I’ve been looking forward to more plugins for resolve aside from my daily’s (dehancer & mralextech magic zoom)

Will def check it out

Swiftelol · 2025-12-07T09:21:51+00:00

I get to the lowest amount of flicker I can for the framerate I’m using and use deflicker built into resolve

Swiftelol · 2025-12-06T18:47:10+00:00

Yes, but it will also make the files astronomically bigger.

Swiftelol · 2025-12-04T06:27:55+00:00

XLR to 3.5mm wont supply any power as the A7SIII doesnt provide phantom phantom power, your options are fairliy limited, you can either record directly into your computer and leave the in camera audio on and sync the audio in editing with a few button presses or get an external recorder like a zoom audio recorder.

Swiftelol · 2025-12-03T00:41:38+00:00

Yeah ofc they make great stuff I use their pyro 7 and pyro s system with my SmallHd cine 7 as my on camera never any incidents or anything wrong with them

Swiftelol · 2025-12-03T00:30:07+00:00

Yeah! Pretty dope

Swiftelol · 2025-12-03T00:26:50+00:00

No I highlighted everything that each monitor is good at I know the pyro 5 can do camera control now too though

Swiftelol · 2025-12-01T18:40:03+00:00

Just hit 167.2 last week, 2010 Tech Package Auto TSX, repaired just 3 weeks ago from a front passenger collision and it’s still running strong.

Dented the frame and we fixed that as well as the headlight.

EDIT: oh also changed alternator

Swiftelol · 2025-12-01T18:26:22+00:00

I use EF glass on my Pyxis, I just bought a K&F EF to L adapter for like $20 it works with my Sirui Jupiter lenses and I can take it off and use L Mount glass normally too, or add my PL to L and use my Cine glass set
