You see any DR difference between the VV and the X? Struggling to find any real world tests of this on the internet.

great video!

People change camera brands like they change socks.

Great setup! I was going to ask you how you like the Tilta cage, when I saw it's actually Smallrig 😅 Amazing that they look almost identical, yet several items can not be used interchangeably, ProRes Raw and other Raw battle like BS, costing filmmakers a lot of dough.

We are 3-5 year out from almost all mirrorless cameras having perfect Auto focus (except for Fuji) so I’d look at other factors and that global shutter is pretty good, plus TODAY Sony leads in AF. Good choice.

Lol how is breakthrough vnd the sceret sauce ??

There are terms you use that I don’t know or know how they apply. “Flange depth” and other concepts that I don’t comprehend. Wikipedia tells me the R system has a flange depth of 20mm. You cited 27mm. But, more importantly, I don’t how that ties in to the box you are talking about.

Phase detect autofocus is awesome but I've only had limited exp. on it through the S5ii. I also own the DJI 4D and lidar seems snappier + not dependent on light, just doesn't lock on as well at times (micro focus hunting). Of course lidar autofocus accuracy falls off so far out but I find myself switching to manual at that point with a higher t stop in most scenarios, not as big an issue as I initially thought. What's your experience between the two mediums? Curious to hear your thoughts!

I love Breakthrough filters! I've been using them for years and have taken them worldwide. They're super rugged and super easy to use! I bought 3 Pyxis recently. I'm looking to purchase 3 of the DFM for each one. The L to PL version. *By the way- your videos are fucking awesome! These aren't rants! This is sharing your professional experience with a tool. I think some people forget that we are all colleagues in this industry. Good luck!

Nice Pionus

These Lenses look F$cking sexy!!!

Ok sooooooo please let me know where I can find your canon R5c raw workflow video because your footage looks amazing and I’m about to get rid of mine but after seeing your video I need to learn more of how you achieved these looks Talk soon

Spot on Nick!

The position not reported back to the hand unit is a pain. I have had a couple times where I wanted to do hand focus on some close shots and when my ac took back over when walking out to get a kind of dolly out shot it jumps back and kills the shot planned. What I never was succesfull with was to get a longer lens running fine like my 50-135 s35 lens from laowa (ranger s35)

Gear is cool. I would shill too if given the opportunity. My buddy has a very successful studio in NYC and shoots on a 10 year old camera, he didnt even know what Blackmagic was when I showed him🤣

great review I used the ronin rs3 with the tilta ring include the Red KX. how's that set up? and how does this focus work with more then 4 people in the frame?

The Breakthrough system has been 🔥on my Raptor X, the range is also quite insane for a VND been loving it! Great video btw!

Nick are you still shooting your feature film, If so, can you share some BTS with us?

Wow! People are mean!

I "should" like your face , but I dont. Im just kidding dude, you look just fine, people are stupid. Anyhoo, that handle is dope!

Have you looked at Scatter instead of investing in filters?

You should try the Nikon Z8 and Z6III, you can adapt Sony lenses to it and the autofocus is just as fast & amazing as native. Internal Raw in them is phenomenal

You are my favorite "bad guy" of the camera world. You speak on what they dont. You are on the rise, dont stop

cool, thanks. I will be ordering one now!

Dude, I thought the Breakthrough adapter did not clear the Nisi Athena lenses...can you please confirm that it will? Thanks!

6:32 ( hallation effect) Those Stories are Truth. on the 70's & 80's much used by Cine & Still image makers where practical effects on set right on camera was and still "a thing" for many, these days its all achievable on Digital Media and beyond as AR for exemple. Great stuff M8 keep it up !

so the reason I got rid of my nisi's is that they didnt clear my mofage poco!

hi Nick, i understand you had the mofage poco from one of your past videos. did you have the chance to test if these VNDs will slot in the poco? Many thanks in advance!

Great channel ❤

Have you tried the Mofage Poco ?

Oh man. So many people should look into adding filters systems to not only their lenses or camera systems. Thanks again for your video mate👍 Ps! Didn’t it have to be nylon netting from a very specific brand? And have you tried Nisi filters? I feel they are the ones that don’t give a strong colour cast to them.

Great stuff Nick! May go with the Meike, but these look fantastic!

Just found you and all your info this was awesome. Subscribed! My wife laughed at your pantyhose explanation btw lol

I like the style of your delivery. I sense an honest man. If you are wrong about something I don't feel it's intentional. What is this talking head shot on?

Keep doing your rants Nick! Love them

What? I can't believe you've received anything but the highest praise!! My day is uplifted every time you release a new vid., as I get to experience your journey which keeps alive the dream I have for my own future. You're the only one on RUclips who is a V-Raptor X owner, and shares their experiences using and supporting the use of that camera. Please Please keep it up and don't get discouraged by the haters. There will always be haters! As the saying goes, "Haters are gonna hate..."

I pretty love your build. I am also love to build my vraptor as minimal as I can, so I using an iPhone as monitor also because of less power consuming... and I can use a smaller v-mount battery for really run-and-gun use. I love your filters and make me very regret of using the red factory one.. more filter choice and the VND is smooth to adjust..

The color shift isn’t the biggest issue with vnd since it’s fairly easy to correct (in camera or post). The biggest issue is the polarisation effect and lack of control over it. Screw on filters are better in that sense since you can basically rotate the whole filter to dial in pola strength, but with this you can’t control it. And many ppl always think of reflections (or screens like you mentioned), but pola has a huge effect on skin as well so gotta be careful with it. But the regular NDs from breakthrough are great and would be the better option I think. Pricey though 😅 but the best adapter out there for sure. Good content!

Ignore the haters! & I loved that you sat outside while it was snowing 😂

Awesome Video! Been looking for something like this.

What if you have a camera with a cage and the cage sticks out a bit on the left side? I dont have a box camera, but use a mirrorless and the left side cage pokes out a bit.

Rear filtration is always a win 😊👌. I have the Meike version of this, its great value for money buying in a kit with a few filters. Having ND built into the camera is always my first preference though, but I do enjoy using them with a CPL or effects filter, rather than having one at the front of the lens. Can confirm my Meike adapter was made to the exact correct flange depth, use it quite often with my calibrated 25-250 cinezoom and it is still perfectly parfocal ✌hopefully their QC is that good for every unit they sell.

I learned a lot about Breakthrough filters... and women's clothing.

Bro, I find your Chan el not too long ago and I am a MAJOR fan! People are ridiculous! Finally someone in YT is doing genuine reviews! Keep it up man! We all love you

Keep killing it bro!

The piece to camera shot on the a9iii looks stellar! Any problems with regards to overheating?

btw. there's also the Mofage POCO drop-in filter adapter. Works with Arles lenses too.

I actually dropped $1k on one of these at NAB last year, I’m so excited to use it but my Iron Glass PL Mount glass doesn’t arrive for another year. Finally a RUclipsr making a Breakthrough video and not praising cheaper copycat Poco adapter!

Love your videos Nick. Instant watch every time. Footage, your taste in gear, and fashion style is all on point. Haters on the internet tend to lack a sense of purpose and meaning in life so they hate on people for their own fleeting ego boosts. Glad to see you handling it well
