    Hi Sam. Are you using that rec/stop trigger on the handle somehow with the pyxis, or is it just a handle mounted on the cam? I’ve been wondering if a lanc plug(from a handle) to a USB-C adapter would actually work for rec/stop… or not worth it. thanks!

      @@BrianArtka hey Brian 👋 I hadn’t actually tested it to be honest as there’s no lanc port on Pyxis, but….that handle is usb-c & cables usb-c to lanc…..I will test if usb-c to usb-c works & let you know.

    Hi, you did a good effort for not enjoying getting out in front.. May you do an important test for these cameras. To test whether the dreaded "fixed pattern noise" is still apparent. Set up a low light scenario that requires ISO above 3200 with a camera pan movement. Thank you.

      Absolutely I can & what a great idea!
      This was bad with the Ursa but I think on the pocket FF those issues were due to 8 bit editing with incorrect BRAW settings.
      I will definitely check as it’s an excellent question & id love to know!
      I’ll give examples for 1,2 & maybe 3 stops under exposed….would that be useful??

    Waiting on the Pl, but now second guessing not getting the lmount. I have mostly PL lenses but a. Few FD vintage ones as well. Worried about that little mount instead of the pl mount. Does it feel solid with the adapter? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and good luck with the channel! Sunscribed:)

      @@TheContentShak Personally I use a lot of PL too & I’ve shot 8 talking head pieces this week on Tokina vistas (I’ll put a BTS vid up soon) but I’d rather have all the options that L mount provides & not use it than need it & not have it…if that makes sense?
      The RF Mount on Red is not the best so I’ve just got in the habit of always using lens support.
      It seems super solid & as a part, it’s easily replaced too…handled the Vistas fine & they are HEAVY!!

    Without knowing a terrible amount about it, it sounds a bit to me that he they’ve added a lot of features to this camera that the Lumix S1H has which is what I shoot with. It would be very very interesting to get a comparison of the two if possible. Obviously the S1H doesn’t have the box form factor like the BS1H but I feel like more people chose the S1H so it would be a good comparison. I absolutely love my camera, but I have always wanted a box form factor camera with similar capabilities.

      @@bigleafwoodcraft1453 Hi there 😊 I think a big difference would be the sensor & how it interprets each frame but you’re right…on paper they look similar.
      The S1H was so overlooked unfortunately, you have a great camera there! I get along well with Josh Cameron (He has an amazing channel covering everything LUMIX & more) maybe we can do a collab & that comparison….great suggestion thank you, watch this space 😎

      And yes, I agree that the S1H was/is one of the most overlooked powerhouse cameras on the market. I picked mine up in mint condition for $1350 USD. What I get for that money is absolutely unbelievable. It’s actually a pretty good camera for photography as well which is one benefit it has over a box camera, of course. A comparison between it and the Pyxis would be incredible!

    Waitttt this is news to me on the ground loop
    I currently have a sigma fp and I power the camera and all accessories via the v mount
    It’s an HDMI camera
    But you’re saying yiu can fry the camera via SDI if I choose to power both the camera and monitor off of the v mount if i also have a BPU in there to perform hot swaps?

    • @Sam-higgins
      @Sam-higgins  2 месяца назад +4

      @@Artfulscience1 hi 👋 thanks for the question 😊 It can & does happen through HDMI but it’s very rare.
      Basically if one of the devices (monitor or camera) has a lapse or loss in power the device still receiving power will pulse to find communication.
      Most boards don’t have capacitors for this so it fry’s them.
      Powering individual they read only that source & there’s no pulsing when a loss incurs.
      Completely avoidable by either separate power or following protocol.
      Just remember last in first out or for me power, power, lead, lead.
      I’ll do a quick vid if that would help??
