Every shot you see had the IS on, it's such a slight adjustment there's no real downside, it just takes out the micro shakes you get with a cinema camera. it's not like some Canon or Sony cameras that might give you that unnatural 'wobble' when you have image stabilization on the lens and the camera, which I personally have noticed that issue more on canon than on sony.

That beach scene was pristine

I think it depends on the production. I know Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 used the V-raptor and the Komodo for different shots. if the end use is just social/web I don't think the 6k or 8k matters, but if for your shoot you want super slow mo then of course that's where the Komodo is weaker. but if your shoot is gimbal and movement focused, then you might not want to deal with a heavier and bigger setup like the v-raptor.

great idea! I was actually thinking about this concept since that movie The Creator was apparently shot on the FX3 (which is the same camera as the a7siii) the raptor and the a7siii are so different but there's strengths and weaknesses to both in comparison that's for sure.

@@coryinsights nice! that would be awesome!

thanks bro!

hmm I don't think that would be a practical use of the camera.

the short answer is yes the image quality is better, but it just depends on what kind of work you do. if you deliver finished videos to the end client and they don't necessarily care which camera you use, then the added image quality isn't worth the drawbacks. the z9 is a great camera.

@@coryinsightsthank you

depends if you have a crew, i have both, the z9 is amazing for eye tracking / gimbal work and on a motorised slider / ease of use and quick boot up time when you cant control everything. the 12 bit raw looks amazing on the z9 but the 16bit out of the raptor has better colorthat i can see with my eye and i prefer the noise grain structure and codec of the raptor but also makes it kinda a pain to rig up and use if working on shoots with smaller budgets as the z9 can use smaller gimbals smaller tripods smaller sliders exct hope that helps~

definitely agree with you as I purchased the raptor anyway lol. Pain in the ass to work with when you're alone. And I agree that everything is smaller set up with the z9 so its MUCH easier to handle and work with.@@DreamingOfReality

Glad it was helpful!

Idk how avoidable the artifacting is in 1080, but it looks fine if you watch in 4k. I exported in 80 bitrate 4k, the 1080 downres is from RUclips itself.

@@coryinsights that’s the problem right there, 80 is too low for reds.

Hey I appreciate you saying that! I love the C70 honestly. Really amazing camera, internal nd, good stabilization, canon raw. I would trade in my sony for the c70 if it wasn’t such a hassle to switch all the lenses as well.

Resolution comes into play a bit when you're talking about sharpness, so the 8k raptor is going to beat the 6k on the s1. and in terms of OLPF, I was able to find this from searching, "the raptor has an OLPF stack, but the sensor has improved such that high spatial frequencies can be recorded without artifacts so the lens characteristics can come through and not be impacted by the sensor." and I would agree with that.

@@coryinsights Well, it is really looking great, granted. To be honest, my dream is to have one day a movie in a cinema, because there's something really amazing in the format, but I think today more and more there's a switch to streaming. Have you done also documentary or narrative works? (I'll go check your channel now, I just saw this video)

The C70 is a beast! I almost traded in my sony for it so I could have all rf lenses. but it’s such a hassle to make a switch like that

Thanks man! I really appreciate the support. BJJ is an incredible sport, so much respect for those guys.

Hey thanks man!

Hey great comment! Made me go down a research rabbit hole, so thank you for that. Based on what I could find, yes there is a menu item on some of the newer canon mirrorless models where you can make the lens focus linear instead of focusing faster or slower based on how fast or slow you turn the ring. However on the V-Raptor I couldn't find anything in the menus or online, so it seems like a cinema lens is still going to be the most accurate when using a focus motor. The RF lenses are really more for everyday use, when you might be using autofocus half the time. I've been wanting to test them out with a remote follow focus, so maybe I'll put that to the test in a future video and see how the RF lens really behaves with a focus motor.

I was thinking about renting that one next time I have a project that involves any sports, gotta use that one on a tripod for sure though haha

You have to nest it, then stabilize it, then nest it again and you can speed ramp it

@@coryinsights Oh gotcha, thanks

Thanks bro! Great insights there and thanks for sharing your perspective. It's amazing all the different paths one can take in the filmmaking field and yes things are much easier when you use the right tool for the job. The support means a lot so thank you.

Yep seems a little backwards right lol

That’s a good point man. I’m finding that balance between providing value and focusing on retention haha it’s all a learning process. thank you for the feedback!

@@coryinsights honestly on the same journey mate. good luck!

That's a good point with the motion blur. I know final cut and Davinci have better ways of adding motion blur than premiere, but I should have added a point about adding some blur either way. Thanks for the feedback!

100% thanks for the feedback!

Glad it was helpful!

Absolutely, it's a different style and it's nice to switch it up

Yes! Thank you!

Glad you liked it!

Awesome, thank you!

There you go, that’s the name 😂

I’ll rent it and give it a shot. 135 is such an interesting prime length because it’s so restricting yet so cinematic. check back for the video!

sounds great with Tokina. I wonder which lenses are better in terms of sharpness in image

that's a good question, it's the 'briefcase handle' accessory for the rs3 pro and then there's a quick release threaded monitor mount from small rig that attaches to it. the monitor is the one that comes with the v-raptor, the 5inch small hd touch screen

Yeah if you check my full review I have a shot I stabilized of the 85 and it's great. warp stabilizer does actually work better on this camera than other systems I have used.

The ND I used was a tiffen, but I have had better results with the polar pro vnd. Should be able to customize the iris ring, but I haven't messed around with that yet. All the footage was 8k 16:9, the 17.2:9 or whatever the complete sensor size is actually has even more vignetting so I just stick to the 16:9. Thanks again for the idea for the video, it was fun to make!

@@coryinsights thank you for time and effort ,hope it works for others as well as for me if you have chance to test iris Rf on raptor let me know! Hugs

IPP2 Output preset rec 709 medium contrast from RED's website. honestly I haven't messed around too much with luts, I found a few I think look good and haven't experimented beyond that but I plan to

Thank you 🙌

Thank you so much 😀

Glad it was helpful!

The biggest difference for me on the Komodo and the V-Raptor is basically the higher frame rate slow-mo options and resolution. The sacrifice is the form factor, it's a bigger camera. Only you can know if it works for your business!

Thank you! really appreciate that

You’re welcome! Lens Distortion is great

Glad it helped!

Hey thanks! Glad to hear that

I actually looked into it when it first came out, i’m a huge fan of dji. it’s a really good camera and a lot of value for the price, and it’s convenient that it’s also a gimbal. I think the only drawback for me was having to use dji’s lenses or small primes to get the most out of it. It’s a unique camera, but it’s like anything else in the sense that if you put enough time into it and understanding its nuances you’ll make awesome videos with it. I think ultimately choosing the right camera comes down to what kind of work you do, how you operate and choosing a setup that you enjoy using.

​@@coryinsights As an owner of a Ronin 4D for 8 months...I agree about the limitations but I found that I own probably every E-mount prime G-master lens and they all work/balance without issues. Even the heavier 135 1.8 (while not perfect..motors take care of the rest)... I realized the benefits, intuitiveness and overall accuracy in a cinema camera coming from a long time sony user were beneficial to me. I too wanted to challenge myself and up the overall production. I truly want the rest of the world to take a chance on this camera as it's not as bad as I initially expected it to be as well as many other people have. I look forward to seeing the next iteration considering how much they nailed this on their first cinema camera. I love that all these companies yield such strong competition and push the technology forward. Digging a bit on the raptor as well. Are you using any cine lenses or mainly RF and cine lenses for rental/larger productions only?

@@DominicCarterTV that's really interesting to hear that you can fit so many lenses on it. the lidar is another benefit of the 4d, I'll probably get the lidar focus system to use cine lenses on the v-raptor while solo at some point but for now I mainly use the rf lenses because they're actually great lenses and while the auto focus on the v-raptor is nothing compared to the Sony, it still works, especially when on a gimbal. manual focus on a gimbal is pretty difficult. I can see myself renting a nice anamorphic lens and make a video about it in the future.
