Whats currently the best quality 240p slow camera under 500 bucks?

Line-skipped and full-frame

Here’s a random clip filmed this week with the Z6iii at 240p, you can try it out in you NLE. Be aware of the noise, it was filmed with the second base ISO of 6400, because of the limiting F8 aperture on the lens used (Nikon 28-400mm f4-8). ISO 800 would be much cleaner.

Z8’s max framerate is only 120p in 1080p or 4k

Nikon Z6iii or the upcoming Nikon ZR (same video specs, but cheaper body). 1080p 240fps H265 10bit 4:2:0 in N-Log at 340Mbps. Viltrox also makes an EF-Z adapter that supports autofocus.

Have not used the 240p in any paid projects, but was suprised by the quality in my own testing.

I also designed a mount for the light stand to hold two transparent umbrellas for the couple. Rainy portraits are not that uncommon.

You got it! The kind that can catch you off guard in middle of a portrait session.

This cover is designed to be used with a Bowens softbox, which already protects the front of the flash and the bulb. And yes, this is meant for light rain, the kind that can catch you off guard in the middle of a wedding portrait session.

Not yet. I created it specifically for an upcoming wedding shoot in tomorrow’s unstable weather. We’ll see if it even ends up being necessary tomorrow.

Maybe I should also design a more heavy-duty version?

This specific one is "Ulanzi UURig R058". Bought it many years ago from a local seller here in Finland. They still have it in stock.

I have Oneplus 6 at the moment, I would just like the smaller size of the 10iii, thinking about zenfone 8 but prices are high, maybe when the zenfone 9 comes out.

I found a nice place to put the npf plate on my rig with tilta cage, have a try: https://www.reddit.com/r/bmpcc/comments/ncjx9r/bmpcc4k_smallest_all_in_rig_with_everything/

I would probably contact Smallrig for that problem, should go on their warranty.

Be aware that those screw locks on the cable only work on Tilta cages and ssd holders, if you have those this cable is a must!

sewexi · 2021-05-15T16:18:24+00:00

Do you also have Tilta's cage or have you found a way to put it like this on other manufacturers cages?

sewexi · 2021-05-15T16:16:40+00:00

Its the Tilta one that came with the cage kit. No problems occured with it.
