I Switched to the Canon C70 - First Thoughts

    Hey Eric, I'm the designer for the Kondor Blue C70 cage. Love the feedback. One thing you could try is a right angled xlr cable. That should solve the issue with it running into you body on those close shots. Mics are always tough to place, especially when using am external monitor. Best of luck with the new setup and keep up the great work!

    Honestly for my setup I just use a shorter mic too. The short shotguns with phantom power don't need the battery space in the mic, and since the c70 has xlr phantom you are golden. I also got custom right angle xlr cables made that are the perfect length, so again to avoid the stress of heavy cables.

    Hey Brandon, love the Blue base plate (never leaves my camera), but I couldn't get behind of the rest of the cage. would love to see an update to this sometime, but given the awkward body design of the 70 I understand if that never happens ;)

    The C70 is amazing. It’s my main camera for weddings and I know it will exceed in doc work especially since I shoot weddings like documentaries anyway. I use the Tilta cage and the mic is in the same spot, I’ve just learned to live with it. I’ve never tried native glass since I always use the speed booster, but my main go to is the Tamron 24-70 2.8 with IS. That lens just does it all.

    I pre-ordered the R7 for the unlimited recording as a B cam to my R6. I figured a speed booster could open up a lot of options in shooting. R70 is tempting.

    thanks for this. I also just got the c70 and 15-35 (already have c200 and BMPK4) and was going to switch entirely to fx6 but....super long eta. I've run the c70 pretty hard on a couple of recent shoots and it definitely rocks. the 10bit vs 8 on the c200 should be significant. I don't entirely mind it without a cage in fact

I just shot a short film on a c200 in RAW. 1 day of shooting was 350gbs, which I was expecting more. But for my next project, really looking at the c70 for the smaller form factor and smaller file sizes in mp4. Can't wait to see more stuff!

    You won't just love Clog2 in small files, but the DGO sensor!!!! The low noise shadows are nuts, you can really shoot underexposed now if you want to expose for highlights. And bring things up if you need to. Also the ND filters can stack to 10stops if you enable the expanded feature in the menus (it's off by default).

    @@EricFloberg Honestly, It's the biggest reason I went for the C300 Mark III vs the C500 and then added the C70. The c500 shadows left something to be desired (in fact you can really easily compare since you just shot 120 frames to see what the shadows look like without DGO since it's disabled). ALSO quick hack, if you want better AF performance in slow motion, you can shoot 60 fps with auto (not in the S&F mode) and still get face tracking.
