Haha 😉

We are definitely use the bigger sizes the most. However, we often pair them with the smaller ones from time to time. I wouldn't say it's necessary to have but when we do use the smaller ones, it's really nice. Great way to add spots of light in multiple places with one light source. I don't believe you would be able to create a hard strip light with a spotlight, although I have not tried. Perhaps with the number 1, but definitely not 2. Let me know if you have any more questions! Thanks for watching.

Nope!

Yo! What does that mean? Like 16 bit of colors?

Appreciate it!

yeah same, B is more pleaseant for skin tones, humans in general

A looks much better to me for skin tones. B looks 1 dimensional by comparison

@@kilikdudleytrying to justify the extra cash you blew 😂

@@Stondiexdnope. Skin tones have more colors with 16bit redraw. I do realize that blackmagic 12 bit log compressed unpacks into 16bit linear on the timeline. Still, my eyes clearly see more colors in the skin tones of the red footage. Just seeing more colors. That’s all I’m speaking to.

They’re still too green to see it. Give them a few years

Too bad it’s all about story and not image - go rewatch some of your favorite movies in history, remind yourself how you enjoyed 8 stops of dynamic range most of your life :)

@ lol 😂 that’s obvious. No one is saying you can’t make a great movie even on bad camera, As long as the story works, you can make a movie with whatever you want. But this video is comparison of IQ and not philosophical conversation about movie making so your comment is off topic

@Axia so our eyes are deceiving us?

@@bmefilms6879mines aren’t lol

@@AxiAjust cause I said it’s not about image, doesn’t mean anything looked bad. I just said it’s not about image as a general statement. Meaning image quality mostly goes un-noticed by the viewers that matter to the future of production, the primary audience that pays to watch a movie, the same people that make creating films relevant (if you do this for a living) are the only thing that matter (with the exception of art) which might be 2% of films. This debate has been beaten to death online. These cameras are all tools with their own set of unique advantages. Enjoy them for what they are when you need them.

Thanks for the feedback!! I just took a look at the raw 6K files. The first scene, they are definitely both in focus. On the kitchen scene, I did miss slightly miss the mark on Cam B. The full frame of the Pxyis with a T/2 made it quite shallow. I'll be doing a part 2 where I'll be using a model in the scene, so it will be easier to check my focus!

@@zeeshandhanani Thank-you

he might have intentionally done that because he is a PRO RED user HAHAHAHA.

your neck is definitely sharper than your eyes in the first shot with cam B

@@itsaaronmiller I personally find it best just to hit eye lashes. Good medium between hair line and tip of nose, and the lashes are easy catch focus on. Leaves a little room for head sway too.

I physically moved the tripod to match the fov. I'll be doing a part 2 test where I'll be using a 50mm on the Pyxis to match the 35mm lens on the Komodo X crop sensor.

They offer it as a license - they didn't sell it. And his statement is that they have made it available, not that all other manufacturers actually chose to "license" it. But your point is correct that any manufacturer that wants to license internal raw can do it - so the fact that they haven't chose to include it in their cameras is not RED's fault.

Thank you for watching! I took a look at my raw files. The first scene, they are definitely both in focus. On the kitchen scene, I did miss slightly miss the mark on Cam B. However, the Komodo X does seem sharper in general, whereas the Pyxis seems to have a softer image in general. I'll be doing a more comprehensive part 2 test comparing both of these cameras.

@@zeeshandhanani First shot focus on B Cam is on the shirt, while A Cam's focus is on eyes, usually people judge focus based on if it's on the eyes

more particularly the eye closest to camera

Totally agree! Love how small the Komodo X strips down. Although, the price point of the Blackmagic cameras is what makes it so attractive. Both great cameras!

Yes, you can actually tell Cam B is the Pyxis because of the lack of compression. Take a closer look at the background and notice how it has a wider view. A better test would have been if I put a 50mm lens on the Pyxis, because the field of view/compression would have been the same.

@@zeeshandhanani this should be the other way around. you are confused.

Can you please elaborate? The Komodo X was shot on 6K 17:9 which has a 1.33x crop factor, making the Arles 35mm a 47.5mm. The Pyxis, on its full frame sensor is a 35mm. The background compression on the Komodo X is greater. Even more so if I was at let's say 200mm. The background would seem closer to the subject. That's how they make explosions seem closer than they are actually are in Hollywood!

It would have been great that the blackmagic pyxis had more frame rates like 6k 60fps and 4k120fps. My Nikon z6iii for less money can do it,also they removed the prores422 which I don't understand why cause it's very practical and also my Nikon can do that internal.

@ I also own the Nikon Z6III and think it’s the best value out there. It’s an absolute beast of a camera.

Thank you for the information! I will have to look into that a bit more.

Thank you sir. We have to keep reminding as 90% of the RUclips videos make this mistake.

dude, 16 bit linear capture is ability of sensor to convert at 16 bit, while BM can't. has nothing to do with the final logarithmic actions

They are not both 16 bit linear. Blackmagic has a 12-bit ADC so they are only ever recording 12-bit linear at the sensor. Arri on the other hand is capturing 18-bit linear and then containing that signal in a 13-bit log file. Yes a 12-bit log file can contain the same amount of information as 16-bit linear file, but sensors capture information and convert it to digital with a linear signal. That can then be encoded efficiently to a 12-bit logarithmic file or kept in a 16-bit linear file which is incredibly inefficient. But also I doubt the red Komodo has a 16-bit ADC so even though the file type maybe 16-bit they're also not capturing 16-bit.

@@antonstafeyev3606- There is no such thing as 16 bit capture on Red Komodo X. It’s 16 bit linear that is converted to 12 bit capture. They are playing fast and loose with the truth.

Thank you for the feedback! I will keep that in mind for future videos.

I liked the music!

Nope!

Cam B is out of focus tho

@@ArSXBrO it also looks less organic than the Red. It is clearly soft though.

I can definitely see the difference in colours. Both very capable cameras though! 😊

Thank you! I haven’t used the Red monitor so I can’t comment. I don’t believe the Ultra 7 works with the RMI cable. I’m using mine via SDI.

I really appreciate that! Thank you for watching.

Yes it does! But, you do have to buy the license to control it separately.

@ How much is the license? Do I get it on Red’s site?

It’s $500 USD. You can buy it on SmallHD website or a retailer like B&H.

@@zeeshandhanani Thank you! Do you know by chance if does the 7” Cine Small HD work as well you just need the software? There’s a sale on B&H now.

Yes I believe it does. Just make sure you buy the correct license as SmallHD has different ones for each camera. Good luck!

Yes shooting on the Komodo X! Would love to get the Set B. I’ve been eying the 14mm for a nice wide.

@ I recently came across the new Zeiss Nano Primes. Did you heard of them? They are the cheapest Zeiss Primes i guess and with T1.5 also very fast. A comparison would be very interesting.

I haven’t heard of those. There are so many great lens choices out there these days!

Thank you 🙏🏽 I had a lot of fun building it! It’s about 17lbs!

Thanks Matt! You also did a great job 👏🏽

Glad it was helpful! Yes that's right. And Blackmagic RAW also allows you to change the WB in post, which is great!
