Haha the ol D90.. A bit of an unsung hero right? I remember seeing some pretty cool videos shot with that cam that where so impressive at the time. Im excited for the Red and Nikon partnership as well. I was really impressed with the Z6iii when I tested it this year.. and also as a Red Komodo owner - I see a lot of potential with that partnership. Thanks for checking out the video!

Hahah. Well..it was early days to be fair, but I was fucken stoked nonetheless.

Ahhh cheers Mick really appreciate that mate! Yeah for sure, feel privileged to share stories when there's so much trust and vulnerability involved, makes it all pretty rewarding for me. Have a good chrissy!

Appreciate that Blake! Stoked you liked it

Thanks! Im with this company: photoinsurance.com.au/

Thaks alot! Really appreciate that kind of feedback

A highly debatable ratio

Cheers Jaymie! Hope you're well mate

Ahhh really appreciate that Scottie! Always pretty stoked hearing feedback like that, and thats cool that it connected with you. Thanks mate!

Cheers Scottie, appreciate it! Was pretty stoked.. Especially in a field where most of the other productions in the categories had bigger crews and budgets. Good motivation for me to keep doing those kinda films.

@@calebgrahamfilms Bravo bud.

Please elaborate.. I thought N-raw was around prior to Nikon acquiring Red - hence Red threatening legal action for them using compressed Raw, like they'd done with other companies. Just because its compressed Raw doesnt mean its Red tech?

Thanks Martin! Haha yeh for sure.. thats the exact kinds of reasons that have made the Komodo a pretty good choice for me the last few years

Cindy thanks so much for the kind words, it means a lot! I’m so proud of the effort you are putting in! It’s never easy, but so worth it!! 🫶🏻

Really appreciate that!! Thanks so much - hearing the film connected with people is always the best outcome I can hope for

Thanks so much Kat! So good hearing feedback like that, and really stoked that it connected with you

Thanks Kat ❤

Cheers Matty, stoked you liked it mate! Appreciate it

Yes legend, much love

Thanks Angela!

Thanks so much David, really appreciate the kind words! Projects like this aren’t done for cash so always love hearing feedback like this. Ben and his family are posted up on a beachside camp spot at Ningaloo as we speak haha, jelous!

Really appreciate that! Stoled to hear you enjoyed it

The old photos of fowlers, the well and lovers def brought a tear to his eye

Cheers Winks! You and Ben are now in a two person club of people I've made films on.. The illuminati style membership rings are in the mail

@ incorrect … you are now in the two person clubs that’s made films on me … your middle finger is on my hand 🖐️

Ahh mate my pleasure! Such a fun one to shoot, and how nuts is it how smooth it all came together with the locations etc - right from the first arvo, then straight into the morning swim. Except for a few google maps related stitch ups it couldnt of come together smoother😂 Appreciate you trusting me with this one!

@ mate google is still stitching me up on a weekly basis while travelling around Australia 😂

I agree! I was actually really hoping it would be an blatantly superior image to the komodo.. unfortunately it wasnt that simple

Yeh its not small, but I think it needs to be compared more to full featured camera's in that category - FX6/9 etc. Definitely agree with picking the right tool for the job - I know I've chosen my A7siii over camera's like the Red Komodo in recent years for travel style shoots. Do you own a BS1H? Never heard much first hand about that cam, kinda interested to hear peoples thoughts.

@@calebgrahamfilms I like the concept: right tool for the (job) only game in town which happens to be the best camera.

Having (and loving) a BS1H, I just don't think it does the job on run and gun shoots even if it is smaller. It has so many 'quirks' that more professional cameras just dont and Panasonic is just not a camera brand the industry (at least here in Au) are comfortable with. It's had to 'earn' it's way onto several productions for me where an FX3/6 or C400 would have walked right on easy.

@ It is Netflix approved and so arguably interdependent with professionalism and all that entails.

@@italogiardina8183 Not that Netflix proves anything, and still with all its other quirks that make it challenging to use professionally on anything other than low end work. I’ve used to shoot a low budget feature and the experience convinced me to buy a real cinema camera. I love the BS1H but it’s in a different product class.

Haha! Davinci's voice isolation comes to the rescue again.. I think that was only running at 50% too

I havent unfortunately! Was just using one of the defaults - the new CMT709 LUT from memory.

Cheers for that really appreciate it! Thats the goal, so always good to hear it came across that way

Yep! 100% Agree. I've seen pro level shooters even running the ND on auto mode on FX6's and getting good results. I guess the thing to keep in mind is E-Mount has been around since 2010 and RF is pretty new.. So I think in the next few years there's gonna be a lot more RF options on the market from other brands

Makes sense, cant fault that logic

This is true! Some nice Cine, Vintage, or Anamorphic (Which on that note - is coming to this camera next month) glass on this - shooting in RAW.. You could def make some super cinematic films

Completely agree with this take. It’s a fantastic offering from canon that is catching the company up to other current brands. So far, I am requested for Sony workflows 99% of the time. Only a handful of times for canon. Curious to see if this changes in the future. After a few issues with my fx6, I’m open to seeing other systems.

Cheers for your take! What market are you based in? Always interesting to hear.. especially in regards to how cameras like the Burano have been embraced really seems super dependent on the location. I 100% agree with how good the Burano is.. but I guess what's made it a tricky one here is just the purchase price, and whether you'd make your money back with what you can charge on top of your day rate. The rental prices in Syd are actually very reasonable for the Burano - so for me it makes sense just to rent it for projects. But yeh - definitely interesting to see if this c400 release will effect any of those Burano sale or rental prices!

Cheers David! And yep - your scenario sounds super common, I think Sony have crushed it with their lineup of cameras and now Canon is playing catchup - which they're doing a pretty solid job at. But will it be enough to convert companies, networks, and owner-ops - I guess thats the question. I'd definitely recommend having a play with the C80 and C400 and seeing how it stacks up to your FX6!

doesn't Red use Canon RF mount anyway? 🤔

Yeah good call that's fair. Well hats off to Canon that it even is such a strong competitor to the Burano considering its so much cheaper! I know in my market I'd go out on a limb and say the Burano hasnt really been a hit.. purely based on price.. as far as results go I think its great. Thanks for checking out the vid and sharing your thoughts! I love hearing about what people from all around the world think about these things

@@calebgrahamfilms Im a canon shooter my self. But when they made the Burano I was so ready.. until the price was told... damn.. The Komodo X is the dream, but my work is a lot of run and gun one man band gigs mostly so autofocus is needed for me.

@@baekmedier Haha I was exactly the same! I wanted a 2024 equivalent to something like the Amira that I could actually afford.. But was pretty shocked by the price. I think thats why Canon have been super smart with this one.. especially when you think of how much the c500ii sells for

Can't sleep on FX9, which still has electronic VND and great 6K image.

Agree! Probably some great value second hand ones getting around as well

Cheers Scottie! Yeah look I actually shot that piece to camera not long after picking up the camera from the rental house.. so the focus hunting that happened during that Im happy to put down to user error haha. When I was able to operate and keep an eye on everything myself I didnt have any problems. What market are you based in, and hows the feedback been from people you work with so far on the camera? Always good to hear

@@calebgrahamfilms Ex NYC guy now in Texas. Self employed small ad agency owner. Mostly print/digital. I only moved into video in the last 6 years or so. I shoot what I want. The clients hire me for my work/relationship. They could care less about how I got there. I can't say I really collaborate with many other shooters. I know you shoot RED as well as Canon. I like the RED colors. I love the Canon ease of use.

Thats all super interesting. Whereabouts are you based? I did a shoot in Aus this year for a US production company and they where keen to go all Sony.. but in Aus I think there's a few production companies that are more open to and like shooting on Canon. I know especially the C500ii has had a really good name in recent years and is the go-to for a lot of factual/doco. I've never heard that about the Fx3 before - thats really interesting. I know I've personally been pretty happy with a lot of the work I've shot on the A7siii. Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts, chats like this are a big reason I release these!

Totally agree. I've had to explain to Sony producers why the C400 is a better camera than even an FX3. I do work with a fair few Canon producers as well, but the key is that they just trust what they know.

@@ShaneVanLitz Yep for sure! Worldwide its pretty crazy how much market share Sony has had in recent years.. they've really nailed in with the FX lineup. Will be interesting to see if a few people switch to Canon with this recent gen of C400/C80 cameras and RF Lens options

Totally disagree about the FX3 looking better than the FX6. Much prefer the FX6 image. One reason for the FX6 image looking nicer might be because you can control the noise reduction on the FX6 and you can’t on the FX3, it just applies a very aggressive noise reduction instead of letting you control it like the FX6 does. But whatever the reason, I think the FX6 looks nicer than the FX3 or A7siii. Now FX6 vs Canon C series is tough. They honestly look a lot more similar these days with log codecs and the new Sony color space. Plus because of the log codecs, you can really match them in post. Small advantage Canon here because they have internal raw for those few times you need it.

@ for sure. I will say we often see clients who have in house fx6 and fx3 setups comment how much nicer the Canons look when on set and straight out of camera for dailies. Literally happened today for me again. But a good colourist probably wouldn’t have much issue matching.

Ahhh right.. Yeh I only recently got the SmallRig's but have been pretty happy with em - VB99SE, pretty cheap off Amazon and pretty handy being able to charge via usb-c etc. I just copped the Core 150's cus they where on special in Syd for a while, but they still stitch you up a little bit with travelling. You're allowed to have 2 but they sometimes want airline approval.. weirdly enough Goldy airports the worst haha

Nice! Stoked you liked it

Always love hearing this kind of thing, appreciate it!

Nice mate, always cool hearing different peoples camera journeys. The URSA is def one of the best value, all round cameras in recent years for sure. Pretty underrated I'd say! I prefer the image of the Dragon over the Komodo also but the Komodo has ended up being a really good investment, mainly just because of how versatile the body is and the range of jobs it works for. Hope you can track down a good deal on a Mini, always a bit of a dream cam to get your hands on Id love one too

100%! The c400 and c80 are both super attractive releases I know I''ve got my eye on

@@calebgrahamfilms Wow, thats very attractive. 6k for under 6k

Sorry for the slow reply! So The Dragon could run off either full size or Minimag SSD's from memory - and I upgraded to the Minimags. It actually came with both options when I purchased my Dragon package second hand - just a simple changeover of the side panel

Always cool hearing these kinda stories! TBH when I first picked up my Komodo I was pretty disappointed.. I've come to like it and from a work perspective it ticks a lot of boxes for the people I shoot for. But its nuts to think wayyyyy older Reds offered more frame rate options and a nicer image😂 Also one of my mates has a Helium - love that image also, I reckon it has a really high end look.. cleaner than the Dragon but still has a nice organic look

3d printed speed bootser, thats the first I've heard of one of those haha thats epic. And yep I agree.. I think there's a bunch of amazing Red models out there that just unfortunately don't get the love they deserve because of a wide range of reasons that probably don't have anything to do with the image they produce😵‍💫 My Dragon is sitting on the shelf a lot these days unless its for my own personal projects unfortunately!

@@calebgrahamfilms Yup my Epic W is Full frame :)

@@landonbtw cheers Landon! Still has its caveats but pretty stoked that this is possible with a phone now haha
