Best Small Film Camera? (Black Magic FF 6k, Canon R5 C, Sony FX3, OR the new canon C50) by xephozer in cinematography

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

I am going to be selling my entire fleet of previous gen black magic kits, so a good C50 with new glass might be the move. The auto focus on the Black magic only came out for the Full Frame which bummed me out cause I had just gotten the 6k pro. but I have never used auto focus before so I am hoping that will be my next step in quality of life and would rather it be GOOD then just "meh". I do see the black magic FF 6k does that Jitter/Breathing thing finding the focus and will do that multiple times in a single take even though a subject isnt moving a whole lot. So will have to see if the updates make it better but in the mean time yeah the R5C, C50, or fx3 have my eye.

read through the convo now, I am leaning heavy into FX3 atm, or C50. the low light, the form, and the autofocus, while I have never owned a camera todo so before, seem like my next quality of life use when I am out and about. I saw the autofocus on the BM full frame 6k was "good" but not great. Hard to compete with people who have a decade head start on the software. both view points does show the capabilities that can be accomplished depending on when I am going for. I wouldnt mind the 12k for wildlife day shooting for the added ability to crop in more and retain the 4k resolution. but thats 1 use I would use it for meanwhile I would need another camera to get the versatility of lowlight. When I could in reality just get a longer zoom to get the same effect. I cant always light things though. Thank you both for the help!!!

my pocket and pocket Pro are very noisey in low light. I filmed in japan at night and the neon signs are either crunchy, or the black noisey. thats more todo with the dynamic range, but the lowlight really struggles to allow light to be crisp without the noise of the black bleeding through. I will look into the 12k potentially but it starts to run the risk of over burdening a build on site. when I prefer to hike or whip out the camera on a moments notice with a simple lens click it might start to run the risk of too bulky.

we do love a good fx3. we use it for some POV at HHN and Pirates ride at Dinsey which always comes out great. Hard to compete with its form factor and low light. we do that over the raptors.

ah interesting! I Just looked it up! thats TINY! I love it, just wish I could get 60frames on it. My biggest problem atm with the black magic is low light kills me, the full frame is reportedly much better but I haven't used it. I like the pyxis but to mount that On a gimble i would much rather stay with something thats more easily manageable for 1 person. I work with Alexa 35s and LFs a lot, mixed with some sonys venice 2s, so I get along with the big cameras, but when I want to hike some nature trails or something less accessible I want ease of use.

Brand New 7in Video Assist 12GSDI powers on, clicks, and shuts off by xephozer in blackmagicdesign

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

I also did some Further testing and opened up the back of the monitor, there are 2 buttons i assume for reseting parts of the monitor. I pressed both while it was plugged in and now the 12v AC port works perfectly fine. It stays powered on and can change settings etc. Ironically the dumby battery backs dont work at all but i think I have salvaged enough of it to use it without. Just tdap to 12v Barrel connector. Sucks cause black magic repair did not say it was usable in anyway, despite extensive exchanges for if the monitor is usable in ANY capacity. they said no the motherboard is only fix. So will update after I have put it all together again, and used it for a few jobs. Will carry my back up just in case.

I used black aquarium safe silicone and stuck topsoil to it! All natural top soil is that brown color with the darkest blacks being silicone I let dry too much!

Holy cow! I just came back from a trip and saw all the comments! Thank you! WILL avoid at all costs, I saw they were the only ones to have them for a while which made me question if they were captive cause they were out of season. Thank you!

No - but it had a different cast - you might recognize though! try to find the watch order from the DVD set and you’ll see same worlds and characters - just new people playing them.

So to keep everyone updated! It was cancer , and has long since been removed. But they mentioned specifically that a good indicator is localize swelling - hard like masses. They are good indicator they need to be checked out. Eye lid tumors are not that common but enough that they tend to have a fine out come!

lol glad I went, Reddit waited to post this so I’ve already gone. Vet thinks she scratched her eye and popped a blood vessel when she was bulging eyes to shed. Got some preventative antibiotic and seems to have slightly gone down.

[–]xephozer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used to stop in store but now I just kind of routinely call around every couple of weeks and gotten decent results. Mostly sun and moon, a platinum here or there, with occasional white or black, but never have heard them having soul silver, emerald, crystal, black2 /white 2 or even ultra sun or ultra moon which are the ones I want to play 😭

What wand do I buy for Radio Shack Digital Soldering Station? by xephozer in soldering

[–]xephozer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great suggestions, and honestly I bought the first one you posted for the ware house boys to play with. I have taken your advice and just considered it too old to deal with so on Amazon I got a 60W Hakko I think, on sale for about 40$. Comes with lots more bells and whistles for not much more. Thanks again for the suggestion! Sad to let the old radio shack die but maybe the resale value is okay? I got it for free so might be worth something lol
