Love this setup. I have been shooting on the E2 with the Sigma 18-35 and 50-100 lenses for the past few months and I am in love with the combo. The footage that comes from thst camera/lens combo is almost unreal considering the price. I wish the highlight roll-off was better on the camera, but other than that I have no complaints.
@Kyle_Evers
4 жыл бұрын
I REALLY like this V-mount setup though. I currently am using an articulating V-mount plate on 15mm rails that sit behind the camera and the plate moves around way too much to use the battery as a contact point on my body without crushing all of the cables on the back of the camera. Too bad these are not actually available.
@MacOlink
4 жыл бұрын
Kyle Evers for real. This camera is amazing for the price point. Personally I think the highlight roll off is very good. I’m also coming from a Sony a7iii so it makes sense haha. I know tilta is making a v mount for the e2 soon. So does fxlion but I heard that ones crap. I’ve recently been shooting with NPF 970s and it’s a nice change of pace. Small and light.

Mac Olink I tried shooting Zlog for the first time this weekend for a music video so hopefully that will help with the highlights, usually shoot on just Rec709 for most videos. But even then like I said this camera/lens combo is ridiculous considering the money. I am loving the look of the f1.2 (.71 speedbooster) at wider angles

@@warrengentryassociatesinc.116 I shot everything in the video handheld on the GH5. The 18-35 performs great because the focal length is wider. The 50-100 is a bit more difficult, which is why I try to rig the camera to be heavier. However, if you were to use a shoulder rig you'd have no issues at all. The Sigma 24-70 Art is a lens I just picked up, that has OS built in, works great. I know Portkeys is also working on an EVF Eye Piece for the BM5. Not sure how much that is. But maybe that can fit what youre looking for?

Hey, was wondering if you really needed the counterweights or could have managed without them? I am currently looking at buying a new gimbal as the Weebill Lab just cant balance properly with the 18-35 and the E2. Would appreciate any other tips or notes you could add about mounting it. Im looking at a very light setup, could even not have the smallrig cage attached if not needed.
@MacOlink
5 жыл бұрын
Max St John you can get away without using the counter weights if you use a really small NPF battery. But I’d suggest using the cage because the lens is so front heavy that you’ll need to slide the e2 real far back to achieve balance, and then you’ll block the back motor. I use the counterweights so I can use a bigger NPF battery without having the slide the camera too far back and it allows clearance of that motor. Hope that wasn’t too confusing, lol.
@maximusstjohn
5 жыл бұрын
Mac Olink nope makes sense. I’ll be traveling with 2x 550s and one 970, but I'm totally fine using the smaller batteries for gimbal work. Does the start and stop record work on the gimbal or are we still waiting for z cam and DJI to get that working? If not what are you using to control the functions? Just the bm5? I'm thinking of just using my iPhone X on there.
@MacOlink
5 жыл бұрын
Max St John I’m not sure if the start/stop works. At this point I don’t believe it does. But remember seeing the Z Cam team talking about that coming into effect soon. I just press the buttons on the camera. The ronin s is solid and can handle the light pressure of pushing the cameras buttons. But your iPhone would be a great tool as well!
