great video as usual - i wish you had a bit more testing about object focused locking - we do a lot of product shots, would be interessting how it locks to things beside people and cars
I loved this episode.
Glad you enjoy!
Really really impressive
Thanks… it was quite an adventure for us
your voice needs to be an option for audiobooks lol, great video
Thanks… with AI being here now that might be an option but I would rather keep my voice tome and my channel. A scary thought that someone might steal thinks like that from you.
I love the style of this review. It felt complete with pros and cons and a lot of fun. Thanks, D.
Very happy you felt that way about it Douglas!! Thanks for watching
@@MediaDivision Can you quantify in some way the issue with fog and the lidar accuracy? I mean, will the lidar work with little fog or any fog and it will not work? Thanks,
@@DouglasDoNascimento As there is no scale… no. To be safe… if you use haze, don't use the Focus Pro
what about something like a Noctilux?
To some degree.... sure. Here is the Focus Pro with a f/0.83 instagram.com/reel/C5tnONHCMn3/
hahaha right into tiktok
AI autofocus hahahah. that’s good. So why do we need autofocus AI? Is it predicting where the focus plane will be or is the lidar just doing its thing? Clearly there isn’t an AI running in the background, camera processor is are already stretched thin doing normal tasks.
machine learning subject recognition in the LiDAR unit / not a camera processor... same CPU as the DJI inspire 3
Do you know what taking lens you would need for a super 35mm sensor and the Isco gold scope? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It depends on the size and position of the entrance pupil of the taking lens. It should work from around 55mm on super 35mm, if the gold start is similar to the red star.
@@MediaDivisionthank you - and thanks for all your amazing work - you are the GOAT
Incredible video! Which strength of Black Diffusion FX is being used in the example @29:58 (1/8, 1/4, etc.)? Thanks!
Thanks … Sorry, but I don't remember
@@MediaDivision No worries. Judging by the amount of blooming I'm guessing it could've been something like a 1 or 2 strength. It does a great job of enhancing the streaks and adding texture around the light source. It was Tiffen BDFX, right?
Great video! Thanks for sharing. BTW, is the 55mm f1.2 alot better than the FD 50 mm f1.4?
With pleasure... we do have a comparison in the main episode (link in the description) judge for yourself. "Better" is always subjective.
Yes. Now we can finally shoot without pulling focus with a DA
DA?? Never heard of that… what do you mean?
mmm speed booster 645 to pl costs 1800 euros ...
The long Flange of PL makes it very hard to built a focal reducer. You can have one fitting e mount for 600
@@MediaDivision yeah, I m all PL cams :)
@@yannmassard3970 maybe 645 is not for you... the booster is still cheap compared to rehousings
@@MediaDivision yeah I know. I have the full mamiya 645 Sekkor lenses gear, from when I was a photographer, but yeah, PL wise, they re useless to me, I keep them just for good ol memories :)
Im getting a set of K35 and JDC Xtal 's was going to go with TLS but know I see G.L's set up im torn...
JDC Xtal.... I love those. Such an expressive anamorphic look. I am yellow of envy 😬

Hervorragende Produktion: alles sehr verständlich erklärt und welch anmutende Ästhetik der Aufnahmen! Ich bin nicht vom Fach, schaue eure Videos aber mit großem Vergnügen! Splendid workmanship! Kudos!
Danke Dir! Wir wissen das sehr zu schätzen… Ganz besonders wenn es mal keine “Leute vom Fach” gucken. Arbeiten immer hart daran etwas zu produzieren das Eireu Zeit wert ist.
1st question: Is it possible to tap on the big wireless monitor or draw boxes on it to choose and switch objects/faces to focus on the fly while recording, or it's possible only on a tiny hand unit monitor? 2nd question: Changing faces/objects - is it possible via touchscreen tap? Or drawing boxes and switching them via wheel of the grip are the only ways?
No, the big monitor shows the image of the camera… not the Lidar image. The “Picture in Picture” on the transmission monitor is the Lidar image but does not have touch feature. According to DJI R&D that is very hard to implement. The small screen on the hand unit is touch and allows to draw boxes and choose targets. This means that you can’t choose targets in transmission control that are not recognized automatically at all.
@@MediaDivision thank you for the clarification! Lets hope then that 2nd generation of a hand grip will have a bigger screen or better - tap/draw to focus will become available on a monitor itself.
It's 4AM, I should be sleepinggg ! But this video is way too good.
Hard to feal sorry ;-) glad you enjoy and thanks for spending your night with us
Dude I swear everybody jumped on the Mamiya's and the Contax Zeiss's after you made your videos on them (which are still the best). Nobody was posting about those back then and now literally everyone in LA at rental houses or Sharegrid listings. So when I say Media Division is influential (whether it has the amount of subscribers it deserves) it's really not a joke or an exaggeration. Nicky is a weird prophet.
To be fair… there are a lot of videos about the subject before mine… I hope we did an do have the best ones. We did these because there was a general Trent towards vintage lenses and these where just the most interesting and accessible. I am very happy that these videos became “household names” in the industry.
As always… thank you so much for your support… next up: we reinterpreted Finchers “The Killer” with real anamorphic lenses.
@@MediaDivision I cannot WAIT FOR THAT WHAT THAT SOUNDS FANTAST calm down ok sorry. I will wait. Good luck! (Fantastic topic. The debate between creating anamorphic in post vs. on set totally fascinates me. And I can't wait to see what you do with it XD
@@area51pictures glad you think it's interesting.... amazingly, I can barely tell we used anamorphic
Thank you for all your work.
Our Pleasure EposVox…. Thanks for being around… again!
Absolutely fantastic as usual. Would have loved to see the unit used with diopters(specially anamorphic ones). Btw diopters do the same thing for any lens, so theoretichaly the unit should be able to even proide a diopter_ON feature, no?
Hey Josh… thanks a lot… appreciated! Diopters will not work with the Focus pro, as you can’t calibrate lenses accordingly. Maybe you are right and you could do it as a switch feature, but then, the system is not really effective for super close ups. We made it fly with a macro, but only with a lot of purposely chosing wrong installation distances.
@@MediaDivision Got it. I was thinking of this to be usefull when using a +1 diopter for a closeup on a face. Anyway already have a order in for a unit, will test it out when I get it :D
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity Josh! It is really kind of you to support our mission. The division Salutes you!
wow <3
Thanks man!
And may I add. OMG the image quality of the Alexa is simply mind blowing
10 years down the road.... the Alexa can still hold her water against modern medium class cine cams. Pretty impressive indeed
I love this channel. I appreciate the huge amount of work that goes into your videos. Thank you brother.
Thanks a lot or your kindness... it is really appreciated. We are happy to have you around.
Thats just beatiful
Thanks a lot… glad you enjoy
is it possible to stream with the s5ll as well?
not directly from the camera
Besides it having extra resolution or dr, output looks ordinary. The processs is cool informative thou..
Yep… just like IMAX
Can you power the rs4 with an Anker 737 bank and use while its charging?
I don’t even have a RS4…
Best focus pro test on youtube ! thanks a lot. it's just amazing to design a product like this and to add shitty usb c port that are the weakest port ever
Thanks. I certainly would have preferred another connector… but then you would dislike the price.
The best part about those 1.33x anamorphic lenses on APS-C is that the de-squeeze turns out to be about 2560, so it works well with LG Ultra-wide monitors.
05/14/2024 : this video is just amazing.THANK YOU
Our pleasure Johe! Glad you enjoy so many years later
Actually i dont like 28 even tho i use 50. Yes 50-28 is a pair. I prefer 35 bcs its flexibility. 28mm below difficult to be portrait oriented
Normally i am 18-35-50-100 dude but difficult to find 18mm lens except zeiss. So i choose 20mm. But viltrox release great 16mm i think ill try that one
You use whatever suits your taste a d task
Unironically the insane focus breathing makes the shot feel more dramatic, this is some insane tech
Great Video As always . The one thing I would be interested to know if automated Hitchcock Dolly zoom camera movements will be possible in future updates especially for e.g. non parafocal EF lenses even with a experienced focuspuller those are though shoots to realize . There are a lot of great Focus only systems already available that's is one of the features I would love a FIZ capable system to do . Grüße In die Hansestadt.
Thanks. Well, this system is perfect for a dolly zoom but requires a parfocal zoom (EF or whatever). These days parfocal zooms are quite common and affordable. If you do a speciality shot like a dolly zoom, you can always rent, just like you would a dolly in this case. For dolly zooms to look cool you will need quite a long dolly (3 meters plus) and a correspondingly wide zoom range.
@@MediaDivision In the narrative context the Exact frameing to me is more important than exact focus , an incorrect zoom rate will ruin the illusion in this instance. As far as I Know there is no easy one fits all Automated Solution that what both keep both focus and perspective . As you suggested it would definitely worth the rent zoom Lenses and Equipment fitting the project. I asked about the parafocal lenses out of Curiosity about the limits of the system and the mentioned Expanding Lens database in Future Firmware Versions to come . For Highspeed movements in confined spaces A Creative lightweight Rig Might be required like for example R5C and the and the16-35mm or similar would be a choice. And many full Metal Barrels Cine zooms could exceed the capacity of some medium sized gimbals . Thanks Again For takeing the time out of you day to answering my Nerdy Questions . Can´t wait for the next Video.
@@floskoss6788 watch out zoom episode to get a good feel for dolly zooms... gimbals are not great in that context. Don't overthink it... just try. Plenty parfocal zooms out there.
@@MediaDivision Good Recommendation I already watched the DZO zoom Video at its release as well as the Iron sea and companion videos. The particular shoot I am thinking of , is a car shoot with both the subject and the camera in movement at different speeds . From wideangle to super wideangle . I Will do some testing with the equipment I have to consider what to rent .👍
How can I like this video more than once?🤔
Commentint is a very good alternative… Thanks a lot Jesus!
Man I love the fact that for some section of the video, the right channel just has the raw sounds from the factory playing. It was distracting for the 1st thirty seconds but I can't emphasize how nice and calming it becomes soon after. Even when the noise was loud and chaotic, somehow the rawness of it was soothing to me Idk if this is an artistic choice or just a mistake but I genuinely love this mixture or surreal music alongside actual real sounds while filming.
It was supposed to be stereo… but in a production like this… shit will happen… and that is not the only turd in this one. Thanks for the feedback man
@@MediaDivision don't worry, it works well with the video
The lenses look great, just wish I could afford one.
A problem as old as time
Ach, wie ich eure Videos liebe 😍. Eine Stunde lang dieser Banger und die "Zurück in die Zukunft"-Story macht das Ganze noch viel besser! 😁 Für mich ist dieses System ein absoluter Muss (leider überall ausverkauft zurzeit). Nicht nur, dass ich als RED DSMC2-Shooter einen zweiten Griff auf der linken Seite bekäme, nein. Auch endlich nutzbaren Autofokus. (Der verbaute Autofokus von RED ist eine einzige Verschlimmbesserung.) Jemand sagte auch, dass man das System ohne Griff nutzen kann, sofern man eine Linse im Motor auswählt. Also für minimale Setups ist das super. 😊 Na mal schauen, wann es wieder verfügbar ist und ich mir das zulegen kann. 😁 LG aus Berlin
Vielen Dank für Deine Großzügigkeit und Unterstützung Flugauge ;-) Wir wissen das sehr zu schätzen! Ich habe das System nie ohne Griff zum Laufen bekommen, es würde auch keinen Sinn machen, da man targets nicht bestimmen kann. Zu viel der Logik des Systems ist im Griff. Grüße aus Hamburg
@@MediaDivision Was würdet ihr sagen, wie viel Kraft hält der Griff denn aus beim halten? Gibt leider keine Angabe über maximal Gewicht 🫣
@@FlyingEyes27 Der Griff ist nicht die Schwachstelle… die Nato-Clamp schon eher. Ich würde dem ganzen deutlich mehr Traglast zutrauen als ich effektiv halten kann. Die geriggte Alexa die Du hier siehst wiegt sicher mehr als eine DMC2 RED, und das war soweit kein Problem
@@MediaDivision Das klingt vielversprechend 😁 Jetzt nur noch hoffen das es bald wieder verfügbar ist. 😅 Ansonsten habt ihr immer so krasse Ideen für Videos die maximal technisch sind, ich würde mal als Ideen für die Zukunft "Infrarot Film/Fotografie", "Telezentrische linsen", und "3D Foto/Video Erstellung" in den Raum werfen. 😊
@@FlyingEyes27 Infarot ist ein so alter hut, aber wir experimentieren mit etwas das das beinhaltet… das ist eine "vielleicht" Episode. Wir müssen immer etwas machen wo wir entsprechend Assets oder Sponsoren haben. Kann nicht wochenlang produzieren ohne zu verdienen. Kinder müssen gefüttert werden.
Do you guys think we could power up the dji grip with the smallrig 3252 item ? I have a zhiyun gimbal and would like to use dji focus pro on it. Thanks for your help
Yes, it works. You have to remove the Nato rail and the grip shows 0% charge, but it still works
@@MediaDivisionthank you so much !
I appreciate all of the info! where can I find the t bracket to mount the high-bright monitor to the focus pro hand unit?
Our pleasure… sorry, but I don't have information on that. Can't see it in the DJI store myself.
"O" or "A" version? Which one is better, what's de difference? Great video! You're amazing!
Thanks … I don't follow? "O" or "A" version? . Aspherical or non Aspherical? There is a direct comparison in here and in the main episode
@@MediaDivision One version has a "O" in the aperture ring, other version has an "A" I think the "A" version is newer but is there any difference optically?
@@sladjj not to my knowledge
👍👍
✌👌
This was a great and informative video.
Thanks Seth… appreciated!
Thanks for the video! Sorry for stupid question, if I pair it with 58mm on the full frame will I get strong vignetting?
Absolutely… depending on the specifics of the lens you try 80mm and longer
Always super in-depth and well made :)
Thanks Tom… always trying to make something worth your time
I like eva but, for the same reason I won't buy a Red camera I won't buy eva..expensive media..Red proprietary media and eva P2 cards..WHY??..if I can't use a sd or ssd I will not buy it..(eva sd proxy only)..I'll continue to use bgh1 and bmpcc4k..
This is a 6 year old camera system that (unlike Varicam that uses P2) uses simple SD cards that cost next to nothing… just like BGH1
thankyou for making such in-depth quality videos!
Thnaks a lot man. Always trying to improve and create something tat is worth your time
