Just keep telling yourself everything to stop u from buying a onewheel. Yeah it might be more dangerous but its worth it.
the fact that people are annoyed by this video is kind of crazy to me, i legit just find it super fascinating and awesome gear like this and what you or any person have to say about these lenses (and other high end gear) is very cool for that fact that you are actually using them in real world scenarios
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the kind words
Fun fact: 9/10 would never see a difference between this and a Sigma 18-35 when used on a real production.
And we love to create for the 1/10
@@wearemxr good one actually
You are taped cheap filter direct on front of lens ? It's so creativity !
Where does it say its a cheap filter?
@@wearemxr Ok , new edition ( You are taped so expensive filter direct on front of lens ? It's so creativity ! ) Good ?
Thought of bringing them but I eventually went with the Fujinon premista, easier to rent since they are PL.
Yes, good point. LPL is a bit more difficult.
Thanks for this. Very helpful to see professional examples of lenses in general rather than typical KZread influencer low level content. Looking forward to seeing more
Would you like a single ARRI 16-35 lens... or Sony Venice 2 with a Sony 16-35 f/2.8? My choice wouldn't be the single ARRI lens.
Hm tough question honestly. In the end it always comes down to what you want to shoot. If it was a documentary or a documentary-style commercial, I think I would go for the lighter and more affordable setup which would be the Sony. But if I want to go for the pinnacle of image quality and I have a good team around me supporting me, I definitely would go with the ARRI setup
Interesting video, keep them coming!
Thanks, will do!
HOLY CRAP. no way. The signature zooms match each other? that's, um, super surprising.
Sorry if I we were stating the obvious for you. We thought some people might find this info useful 🤷♂️
I think highlight roll off is determined by dynamic range and how you rate your iso relative to the gamma you are using when working with digital sensors. I think micro-contrast isn’t a thing unless you work in marketing. Contrast is. This lens has good contrast between light and dark areas.
Thats not true. Highlight-rolloff is definitely also a glass thing. And there are many sources about micro-contrast on the web: yannickkhong.com/blog/2016/2/8/micro-contrast-the-biggest-optical-luxury-of-the-world alikgriffin.com/micro-contrast-is-it-real/ ChatGPT says this: Micro-contrast refers to the ability of a lens to distinguish and render fine details and subtle variations in tone, color, and texture within an image. In the context of high-end cinema lens glass, it is a crucial factor that impacts the overall quality and aesthetic of the footage. Here are some key points about micro-contrast in high-end cinema lenses: 1. Fine Detail Resolution: • Micro-contrast allows lenses to resolve very fine details in an image, such as the texture of fabric, the grain of wood, or subtle skin details. This contributes to a sharper, more realistic depiction. 2. Subtle Tonal Variations: • Lenses with high micro-contrast can capture and reproduce subtle variations in light and shadow, which are essential for creating a sense of depth and dimension in the image. 3. Color Accuracy: • High micro-contrast enhances color differentiation, ensuring that slight differences in hue and saturation are accurately rendered. This is particularly important in cinematography, where color grading and the overall color palette play a significant role in storytelling. 4. Clarity and Realism: • By accurately capturing fine details and tonal variations, lenses with good micro-contrast contribute to a more lifelike and immersive viewing experience. 5. Contrast Handling: • Micro-contrast is different from overall contrast, which refers to the difference between the darkest and lightest parts of an image. While overall contrast affects the general “punchiness” of an image, micro-contrast deals with the fine-scale transitions and details. 6. Lens Design and Materials: • Achieving high micro-contrast requires precise lens design and high-quality glass materials. Elements such as aspherical lenses, low-dispersion glass, and advanced coatings are used to minimize optical aberrations and maximize detail resolution. 7. Practical Implications: • In practical terms, lenses with high micro-contrast are highly valued in high-end cinema production because they provide greater flexibility in post-production, allowing for more effective color grading and detail enhancement. 8. Visual Aesthetic: • The visual aesthetic created by high micro-contrast lenses is often described as having a “crisp” or “rich” quality. This is because the images produced have a high level of perceived detail and texture. In summary, micro-contrast is a critical attribute of high-end cinema lenses, influencing the clarity, realism, and overall aesthetic of the captured footage. High micro-contrast lenses are essential for filmmakers who require the utmost detail and subtlety in their visuals.
War auch schon kurz davor die zu kaufen. Tolles modernes Glas auf jeden Fall! :))
Ja, ganz weit vorne in Sachen Bildqualität. Aber leider auch in Sachen Preis 🤣
What do you think about the new Chronos 4k RAW 500 fps 12 bit and 10 bit 1,000fps? thanks!
Actually didnt know about that one. Very interesting, will look it up now! Thanks for pointing it out.
@@wearemxr did you check out the Chronos 4K 12?
Dein Kanal hat deutlich mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Danke danke! Wir veröffentlichen einfach weiter Videos, vielleicht bekommen wir irgendwann mehr Views 🙏
Very cool! I also create some of my shots on sk8boards but never tried on an electric... One downside could be that you must keep one hand on the sk8 remote which is somthing that could be limiting I guess
Yes, holding the remote in one hand is definitely something I needed to get used to, but its actually easier than you might imagine. The key is some sort of camera support like an Easy rig.
Onewheel or euc better because you have both hands free no? Guess skatboard is also much more stable though after watching your video!
Yes, I think a skateboard gives more stability and you can shoot any way. With a onewheel you are basically forced to shoot in riding direction and you cant shoot behind.
🤙🏽🤟🏽
Cool!

We have an Ember, yep it's not a replacement for the Phantom though it does an amazing job. It's just important that you expose things properly is all.
Yes! Perfect exposure is key!
Awesome video Christoph! I wish you went more into the color science. I shot with the Ember on a commercial shoot in January and felt the color was so weird with HLG that I played it safe and only used rec. 709. Also it would be great if you mentioned that for renting the Phantom (if I'm not mistaken) you need special license or an operator, which is the biggeet drawback when projects come up fast and have a low budget.
Very good points! Yes, the color of the Ember is quite unusual. We experimented a bit and found a good recipe for our in-house powergrade in Resolve. We might do a quick video about how we grade Ember in an upcoming project. Regarding the Phantom: one of the main reasons we purchased it a while ago was that most rental houses only rent it out with an expensive operator. That’s a major drawback, and honestly, the camera isn’t hard to operate or understand at all!
@@wearemxr thanks for the reply, looking forward to your future videos!
I would love to see a video on how you deal with the colors of the ember! We are a small production company based in Germany and we are currently considering to buy the ember. Since we do mostly product stuff in studio environments we should be able to deal with the highlights, but it is still sad to hear that the colors aren’t that good. Unfortunately, our budget doesn’t allow to purchase something like a phantom so I don’t really see an alternative to the amber. I mean we actually considered if we could make the freefly wave work just to give you an idea of where we are coming from 😁 Compared to that we thought the ember looked stellar 😅
But yeah the phantom looked much better than the ember, especially outdoors I think you really have to be careful to protect your highlights. Some of the ember shots you showed in the forrest wouldn’t be deliverable imo
Why even make this video if you don't explain how it's done? Baffled...
the leica taste. great job .leica coating the best !

Please don't actually power your data servers from this
Dan Needham ok!
About how long does a battery last when powering that 200W LED? I actually googled this looking for a battery solution for that exact model of light.
Jesse Nash about 45 minutes
No information on aperture, focal length, or wether or not it’s par focal. Real informative video eh!
Do you guys sell this?
if your still wondering he used a v mount battery that connects to a v mount battery plate that has 12v output and then connects that to a 12v to 110v inverter www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KQ4Q2L5/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 tested it myself
35mm motion picture film never had an aspect ratio of 4:3, it was more like 3:2.
what settings did u have it to?
How come such cool channel only have this few likes???
Urgent: Can you please upload the (RWG_Log3g10 to Rec709 Gamma22) luts? I can't find it anymore in RED website.
there in downloads then software
Thank you :)
I'm amazed how Hasselblad screwed up this camera. If this thing could shoot prores and different frame rates this camera would be used by a lot more people.
Damn that's awesome! But I wished there was some super wide open shot footage
Excellent work on this! Please keep uploading!!!
very pro! liked the tutorial, Can you advise where to download LOG footage to practice? Thanks!
Nice! 👌
Hi! Can you tell me where you found the "RWG Log3G10 to REC709 GAMMA22" luts ? On Red.com the IPP2 Output Presets offer "only" the "RWG Log3G10 to REC709 BT1886".

guys - ty for sharing.
hello bro! i want to know, why when i grade i see soo fine on display, but when i export(render) i can see no effect that i puted on davince, i don’t know why
but for a Red Helium this looks terrible ..
