To be honest...all that use the IMX410 family sensors look great. They are really all equivalent in terms of image quality. Your shots look great but if you told us they were shot on the Lumix S5-IIX, there is no way I could say you were lying. (with the exception that the Lumix is sensor stabilized and the Mavo is not) We really are reaching a point were the case for high-end cameras is slowly dying. We even have Hollywood Si-Fi blockbusters like "The Creator" being shot entirely on a Sony FX3. It's so good that many believe it's a lie and it was shot on Arri. (It's not a lie) The industry is changing drastically and "cheap" cameras today have literally 100% of the image quality of massively more expensive cameras. This was NEVER the case 10+ years ago.

@team2films

5 ай бұрын

There are some good points there. Some thoughts to consider: Spending more money on a camera isn't about getting better image quality. Did you watch the part of the video where we talk about the FX3 used on the creator? 18:56 It's about getting the form factor, connectivity and other features that you need. Spending more money on a car might not get you more wheels or a faster top speed, but it might get you a larger boot, or a tow bar. Take that illustration with a pinch of salt please! Cheap cameras are getting really good, and in most cases, good enough, but more expensive cameras do still often yield better image quality, but it is definitely a case of diminishing returns, hence the diagram of the cost to performance curve. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for watching and commenting.

This review is top tier! The inclusion of a good variety of footage in addition to grading examples is something that every single reviewer should do. I cringe when people show SOOC material with no examples of push & pull, since working with different sensors, codecs and colour profiles always has a specific feel to it. For example, I've worked with Alexa35 ARRIRAW, P4K BRAW, R5 cRAW + Clog3 and A7S3 Slog3 just to name a few, and they all feel different. They all have a nice image in their own way (ARRI obviously the best), but they act different under the same tools when graded.

My bread and butter is documentary and occasionally news and I have been thus far very happy with the Canon C300 MKIII. I've been looking to the Kinefinity lineup due to many things that you described - great image quality at a higher resolution, easily-swappable mounts, good preamps, but I just can't see myself going back to ever shooting without internal NDs and the Canon's missing gyro is regularly frustrating me. Your video was very informative to me, in the sense that it made me realize that I would not be happier with this camera even if I had more resolution. But I really do want to see Kinefinity succeed. We need more manufactors like them.

@team2films

The Canon C300 MKIII is an awesome camera. You might want to consider the Edge 6K. That has internal ND and gyro, although the higher price point does negate some of the system's appeal. One of the reasons I really like this camera is that it can do everything. It's at home on a large set but equally at home in a one-man-run-n-gun environment. The C300 will definitely trump it in some environments, but I don't think it is as well rounded, and isn't at the price point of the Mavo LF II. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Appreciate you bringing such a well balanced perspective to the comments.

Hi, you are very good with Kinefinity Cameras, I have a quick Question. Is this camera better than the ZCam F6 Pro? Can we shoot a feature film on this? Is the prores footage ample in size, or is it okay? Plus, it does not have RAW. Are you missing something when you shoot Prores? Raw has so much to play in Color grading.

@team2films

4 ай бұрын

Hello. Short answer. ProRes 4444 XQ is more quality than you will ever need. Long answer: Raw is a very misunderstood concept. Companies with cameras that feature raw market it as being more flexible than other codecs. Most 'raw' codecs are not fully raw. Instead most companies use raw as a synonym for a high-quality codec that performs less than usual processing on the camera's image before it is written to the card. At the end of the day, it's another codec. A high quality codec like ProRes 4444 can be just as flexible. Need to raise the exposure in the shadows? No problem. Need to adjust the white balance? No problem. At the same time, a tragically underexposed image is just as difficult to restore when working with a raw codec. Instead of focusing on 'raw or not raw' there's better metrics to judge a codec by. You should be concerned about it's bit-depth, chroma sub sampling, and bit-rate. ProRes 4444 records a 12-bit image with no chroma sub sampling. Use XQ if you want a higher bit-rate. Kinefinity cameras use log encoding rather than linear encoding. The higher bit-depths of codecs like RedCode are only needed when you encode in linear. Also most people incorrectly assume that raw codecs like RedCode or cDNG are lossless. They are not. They are still 'throwing away parts of the image' in order to reduce file size. Consider this, many Arri ALEXA users shoot prores 4444. Arri's latest version of ArriRAW is only 13-bit. It also uses log encoding. I hope that was helpful. Thanks for watching.

As a hobbyist, the majority of this excellent and informative review went way, way, way over my head. Not surprising as I rock a Panasonic Prosumer camera that has h.265 among its codecs. The best bits for me, in the whole episode, were your grading tips/examples of getting the best of your footage at Timestamps 1:55 to 3:25. I also learned something about Shutter Angles. Being an amateur I was lead to religiously "believe in" the 180 degree shutter rule and never realised that you could halve it in low light. Every day is a school day. I'm so glad that I found your channel about a year ago. I find your Resolve tutorials the most helpful and informative.

I believe that rolling shutters can typically capture a higher dynamic range. That's why most high-end cinema cameras still use rolling shutters (Arri, Sony, red, etc). More expensive cameras feature sensors with quicker readout times (therefore less rolling shutter). Global shutter technology is improving. Sony's new A9 hybrid camera features a global shutter and I expect we will see that technology start to filter down into cinema cameras, initially at a high cost, and then reducing as the technology becomes more available.

yeah i know!! been talking to Joshua!!@@team2films . need to make up my mind hahah is not that easy!

One other thing one might consider if going with the Mavo. Kinefinity is based in Beijing, China. There are always the concerns of China's economy, the unpredictability of Xi Jinping and the quirks of the CCP that could impact the continuity and existence of a Chinese company. Over 4,000 foreign companies have left China, big companies like Samsung ship building with a huge facility and Japanese camera companies all citing instability. Not as frequently mentioned is China is no longer a source of cheap labour for foreign companies engaged in high-end manufacture. This is not about a Chinese company not being able to produce a quality product, a good example is DJI. It is about long-term availability of parts and ecosystems. Their economy is not good now and under Xi the military have reinforced runways and aircraft shelters within range of Taiwan missiles and are the launching site for Chinese military aircraft to attack Taiwan. Any move in that direction could place more sanctions on imports into China, like the current US restrictions on certain computer chips, particularly GPUs capable of high-end AI performance.

I had the latest pocket 6k, the absolute horrid rolling shutter, unusable high iso performance (worst on any full frame camera I have ever used), broken gyros (blackmagic still hot patched them if ever) and low dynamic range and cheapest plastic body anyone has ever made are the main points why I sold the two of my units. Maybe can be OK for a studio use but then really any camera is no need to spend 2.5k on it.

@CINENIMUS Hello! Firstly, thanks so much for watching. Second, please, there is no need to be disrespectful like that. I’ve used the BMPCC6K and the BMCC6K. They are both excellent cameras. Here are some thoughts to consider: Yes it is true that their rolling shutter is average. Their high ISO performance is not industry leading but it cannot be compared easily to mirrorless cameras that perform internal NR. As a ‘cinema camera’ they expect you to perform NR in post. There’s nothing wrong with a plastic body on a camera, unless you can provide an actual disadvantage other than it being cheaper. For 2.5k it’s an incredible amount of camera. At that price point there are no perfect cameras. Surely if you choose another camera you will get some advantages but also trade some disadvantages? Thank you so much to both of you for watching and commenting.

You should have compared the Mavo against the OG Komodo. Don't like the spin you put on other cameras like the FX3. You have to rig every camera up and down. The FX3 has great AF and that needed relive it or not.

Hello, thanks so much for watching. Here's some thoughts to consider. Wasn't putting a spin on those other cameras. Just trying to highlight that all cameras have downsides (including the mavo). Even a 'perfect' camera like the Alexa35 has downsides. Namely price and size. The Komodo (OG) is a great camera that compares more favourably in terms of price. It still requires rigging, and has currently has poor monitoring options. If you want a screen that can control the camera, you need a DSMC Red Touch 7" monitor, or a SmallHD that requires three cables to operate. The FX3 is a GREAT camera, there is no doubt. Some people sensationalise that it was used to shoot a feature, but neglect to consider that external recording was used, along with additional rigging for power, monitoring, etc. Plus AF won't have been used (in that scenario). Some cameras require more rigging than others. Their form factor can make it difficult too, i.e. the placement of accessories without obstructing important camera controls. We were just trying to address those things. If you're shooting run and gun doc, then the FX3 is going to be a better camera and rigging is not necessary. The Mavo has pro power, a great monitoring solution and records internal prores, etc. It's incredible easy to rig. It's not the world's greatest camera, but it's well worth taking a good look at! That's all we are saying. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Would love to hear any further thoughts or reactions you have.

@@contentm3893 I think both Komodo's can be controlled with the Portkeys monitor. It requires two cables, power and video. The monitor controls the camera over wifi. Reliability of that connect might be an issue in certain scenarios. SmallHD monitors can control the Komodo, but require a third cable to do so. In contrast, Kinefinity's monitor connects with a single cable (power, video and data all in one). The FX3 DOES have great autofocus. It definitely wasn't used on the creator though as they shot with Kowa Prominar Anamorphics. The FX3 needs E mount or EF mount lenses to do that with internal electronics and focus motors. I'm sure there will be many professional scenarios where it is useful, however there are many scenarios where it's not used either. As mentioned, a plethora of other accessories were added to the FX3 to make it 'production ready'. Advantages of the Mavo over the Komodo: Much cheaper (especially the s35) Taller sensor, better for shooting anamorphic. Integrated pro audio inputs More flexible output. The Komodo cannot shoot lower resolutions without cropping the sensor etc Similarly the Komodo has unique advantages too: Smaller body Global shutter Better Colour (slightly) etc You've got to balance budget, needs, wants, etc when making a purchase. I can see people choosing either camera.

Is this camera 16bit 444 raw ?

@team2films

5 ай бұрын

This camera is capable of recording 444 12-bit log. Raw can mean a variety of things that doesn't necessarily improve the image quality that a camera is capable of producing. In most instances, ProRes 4444 is just as flexible as a raw codec. 16-bit is only needed when encoding linear images. Log encoding is capable of storing the same image quality with a smaller bit-depth. That's why the New ARRI Alexa 35 only encodes in 13-bit log. I hope the information about is helpful. Please feel free to ask more questions.

There isn't internal ND, and rolling shutter! And also no RAW shot!

@team2films

5 ай бұрын

Hello, thanks so much for watching! Yes, the rolling shutter is my least favourite thing about the camera, but it's rarely an issue. The lack of raw is not an issue as the camera has ProRes4444XQ. Raw gets hyped a lot in marketing. At the end of the day, it's essentially a high bit rate, high bit depth codec. So is PR4444XQ. It's possible to add 'internal nd' because of the short flange distance. Granted that's not ideal as I'd prefer to have it in camera. It's difficult to find a perfect camera at that price point, but it's difficult to judge a camera on a single feature. It's better to look at the entire package and evaluate it against given needs. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I'd love to hear more of your thoughts.

Thanks for watching. Something to consider: There's a misconception that raw offers significantly better image quality and that raw images are lossless. There arn't any modern cameras that shoot a completely raw lossless image. Processing and lossy compression is still being applied in camera. The FX6 costs $6k and also does not have internal raw, or any internal 12-bit codecs. RedRAW = lossy compressed 16-bit ArriRAW = lossy compressed 13-bit BRAW = lossy compressed 12-bit 16-bits is unnecessary. It's interesting that Arri, the industry leader in image quality only shoots 13-bit raw. Note that braw matches the bit-depth of Prores 4444. In short, 12-bit ProRes 4444 is a LOT of image, and it's more image that most will ever need. Could some sort of a raw format juice a tiny bit more quality out of the camera? Perhaps. But it would be at the cost of convenience and speed.
