Thank you thank you 😇

You need much less than the lottery.. you just need an idea 😎

❤️❤️❤️

Such a wild one!

I’ll teleport that one next 😂😂

Update: I'm drunk.

😂😂 did it for you

Saw this!

@@BlaineWestropp1 was about to pull the trigger but the payload is only 11 pounds on that version and thats just a little light for me to justify even $200 on

I didn’t. Wonder if it has to do with how you “tune” the wheels.

lol to the waffles. I believe the 2 foot extension is $100 right now.. check BH.

@@BlaineWestropp1 Got the 2 footer extension after I saw your vid. Then, I opened mine up and found that my brake level was broken. Emailed Syrp.

@@HeliopausePictures oh gosh. That ain’t good.. I really hope they help you solve it. Where did you buy from?

@@BlaineWestropp1 I hope so. I don't know why they wouldn't. I bought it from B&H in 2021. I would happily pay a reasonable fee for the repair, or perhaps they can send me the part if it's a DIY project.

Ah yeah I assume they will sort it out for you or send you a new one. Let me know what happens.

Before it ships.. check the details. Is it the 11 pound payload version? :/

@@BlaineWestropp1 yes it is.

Is that the right one?

Sorry for delay. The one in this video was the 75 pound payload version.

Ah interesting. Good to know! Thank you!

I think bc cinematography has become more accessible in both production, and cleanup/grading. Digital sensors are sharp and sometimes inaccurate compared to film, or our eye, so we need to clean them up, or dirty them. I also think that a lot of productions happen without the proper prep and team, so sometimes less goes into the shoot itself. Footage doesn’t always need so much finessing, especially with film, or if the shot itself was well designed. I think mostly, digital sensors just need some love in post. But it doesn’t need to be complicated. I have some looks, apply the look to the project, adjust exposure and color temp. Done. Kind of like color timing film with printer lights. Film has the look built in, need to add it to digital.

Oh wow! How is it holding up?!

@@BlaineWestropp1 It’s still good! I’m really careful with my personal cameras, I’m a 1st AC so the micro HDMI still works perfectly haha It just has the usual old problems once the firmware updates stopped, FPN in lowlight at 1600, pretty sensitive/intense moire in RAW and the usual physical quirks. But you know, once that stuff is dialed and you’re careful with the rest it’s good to go! I’m always tempted to sell it, but I just love the Cinema DNG and the look from the cam so I keep it around. Most of my recent personal shoots on my channel were shot on Sony FX cams but I still find myself going back to the BMPCC OG for fun stuff

this is where apple boxes and wedges are very nice. this is also where the higher end sliders excel because they mount to a Mitchell mount which is extremely wide and flat compared to any other mount. if you have a heavier, taller rig, I would go with apple boxes to reduce any roll in the rig

similar just easier to move around!

Try magic mask

@@BlaineWestropp1 what if its a green screen?

Ahh are you trying to make it look light a light is behind the person and lighting them from behind? If so you need to approach this with a more traditional VFX pipeline. Relight can do some good stuff on some shots but in the end it is working on a 2D image in 2D

@@BlaineWestropp1 That makes sense actually. Thank you!

I like it

Thank you so much! You can use all of the LUTs in premiere as well as resolve. The power grade was built in resolve and will not work in premiere. I could work on something for premiere though.. the power grade is mostly grain halation and softening, and a node structure for adjusting exposure, temp, saturation, contrast, etc.

Thank you! It was an atlas mercury 42! There’s a small chance it was the 36. I can confirm in a bit! Love those lenses.

Ughh hate this. I need to test further..

@@BlaineWestropp1 yeah let us know how it goes 👍🏼

😂😂😂

Thank you! This was shot on Alexa mini LF and atlas mercury 36 or 42. Most likely a 42. Could confirm that soon!

@@BlaineWestropp1 *chefs kiss* awesome. That looks beautiful!

Yuuuup. The original deal zone $200 was obviously a no brainer. I still think $1000 is good but only if you really need it. People are reporting a small bump when it goes over the seam :/

@@BlaineWestropp1 I still have the non Pro which has some problems with the wheels, or tracks. Even if I cleaned them it's always a bit bumpy... So happy with the Dana spinoff from proaim, skateboard wheels 4 president!

😇😎

ooo I dont like the sound of that. one thing it could be is that rubber track. does it line up smoothly? I dont think mine has a bump when going over it. in the past when I have had non perfect slider shots I have stabilized in post and had perfect results as you are giving it an already 95% smooth shot.

​@@BlaineWestropp1 you could be right and it might be the rubber-guide on the inside. I will have to check that out. But the little bump was right there from the start and we always had those rails best aligned to our ability. But i mean it is the tiniest of bumps. Maybe it got exaggerated because our sachtler head and camera sits quite the distance above the silder-baseplate. Stabilization did the trick for us too. Love all your videos btw. Really good resources.

ughh hate hearing that about the latches. was wondering why this came in a manfrotto box.

id take a fisher dolly over a slider for a lot of work. but sometimes that can't happen do to location. I consider the slider an option for when you can't use a dolly.

70lbs payload capacity too! Not bad!

🫡 same. I really do like this one.

yes the 70lbs is great!

I think apple boxes are my favorite way.. but then you need to bring around at least 4 extra apple boxes. what sucks about the feet? I have only tested this briefly.

@@BlaineWestropp1 I’ve just found it hard to get them all at the right level, also over time quite a bit of play has developed in one corner, probably just needs a bit of maintenance.

thank you thank you!

Possible.. maybe.. hard.. yes

@@BlaineWestropp1 sorry i was typing while you answered my honest take on sliders: if you are shooting low budget commercials or whatever on a bmpcc, fx3, even fx6, this kind of setup, i don't think the money you spend on a slider, and especially the time you need to setup and unsetup is worth your time and money. i will keep the camera on my ronin rs3 and have a slow movement and the result will be very similar, i will have my little travelling. especially carrying everything, sometimes you want to be able to fit your whole setup in a backpack. i understand some people like to impress to clients with a fully rigged out fx6 and a bunch a accessories, so believe in that case a slider can do the trick. but you must be very well paid for your time... sliders, or rails, become a must i believe when you are on slightly bigger productions, well because good luck trying to balance a SR2 on a ronin. so yes in that case sliders become a must for steady travelling shots. but, then it's probably more espensive sliders/rails right? i think there's a reason why i never see anyone use sliders at low-budget maybe in studio work? happy to discuss

absolutely crazy! such a cool combo!

love it!!

Same actually I was so upset when I saw it was sold out before my checks from a previous client had cleared but then I checked again the next day and they had got another batch of them. I guessed overnight. I bought me one and now I have it. And it is just the smoothest nicest thing. And the best thing is, I don't even use it with a fluid head. Because I run a ronin 4d So I can just use the built in p.T z functionality And it makes it even more smooth than if I would have used a fluid head. And it saves me $200 on buying a flat bottom fluid Head cuz I don't have one

same.. then the 2 foot extension for $100. wild. the 2 foot extension is still $100 at BH: bhpho.to/4faTWQf

ooo a 4d on this slider is a hot combo I imagine!

@@BlaineWestropp1 oh snap thanks for the heads up! Just picked that up as well haha.

just saw the Impact slider stands are on sale for $200, might want to pick those up instead of the Matthews if you haven't already!

Thank you 😊😊

They are both useful. A slider will get you smaller more precise moves, and a gimbal will get you longer less precise moves. A gimbal can be good for following someone walking down the street. A slider can be good for an establishing shot with a slow perfect creep in.

Thank you. I love it :)

The LUTs are, the power grade is not. The LUTs hold the color and contrast the power grade holds the softness, grain, etc!

Thank you! Yes the price is still steep. I’d say this could be a contender if one was considering the 5k ish range slider. Could save some money with this and still have something solid.

I'm also tired of having to undo the screw for my fluid head, because it's not a spare one so I got to put it back whenever I'm shooting on sticks. A bowl mount riser seems nice but I think it will negatively affect the smoothness since the center of gravity will now be higher

Yep it is a pain with the tripods. Unless you need it really high.. Apple boxes and wedges are the move. Also agree with you on the bowl mount riser. But, one thing that does help with is to get the camera higher so you don’t see the slider in the shot on wider angle push ins or pull outs.

Hehe. The first F1 for iPhone clip out in the wild :)
