research would have avoided your regret. I think that the lidar is a great system. those small rig lens rings aren't worth it and contribute to bad calibration as well. when the focus motor starts calibration, they will move ever so slightly as well. the end stop options are great but not with those fitted rings as they lift them up from there contact on the lens hence the skipping. I would use those Endstops with a belt that is adjustable so you can tighten on the lens with the plastic end stops and make sure it doesnt move at all for a better system,
Hey 👋, I own a few of those belt gear systems, I have the one that came with the Ronin and I have other brands, they actually aren't tighter than the small right rig ones, as they come in the diameter of your lens and they are made of a hard ruber so the fit very tight and don'ts slip. The issue is with the force of the grear against the lens, for the skipping teeth problem. You can see in the video that exactly. The second issue is the hard stop does not work if the gear ⚙️ is skipping. The lidar work fine on my cine lenses. From my testing I think the solution is to find a way to mount the focus motor with two points connected to the camera instead of the one rod, that should prevent the gear from skipping even on lenses with adapters.
I have the same setup on the sigma 18-35 stills lens. It’s not skipping the gear and I have the end points set perfectly, but for some reason the focus is still off. I really can’t figure it out for the life of me
Yeah I think is because these lenses are not parfocus.
I think there is no need to use the Lidar with an AF lenses, it is meant for cinema lenses, try the cheaper ones, the 7artisans spectrum lens is an amazing lens for it’s price
Bro! How do you mount the lidar shoe onto that cage? I've got the same one but I've been putting the lidar in the side cold shoe. I can't see how you're is set up.
You need to take out the cold shoe out, just unscrew the tightening screw all the way and you can then mount to the cage with a screw instead of the cold shoe base
Maybe it work on lenses like the RF’s, that have a very smooth/light focus ring?
I have been testing a new lens, but it's just not reliable if the lens does not have hard stops 😔. Like I got it to work with the sigma art 35 1.4 and it was keeping focus at 1.4, but I de-rigged the gimbal and added the lense again and the focus kept being just a tad off, like back focusing. With the samyag manual lenses with hard stops works well and is easy to reset with a new lens, so far I tried 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8 and both work well, sadly I don't own a 24mm or a 35 on those manual lenses so haven't been able to test them.

Why would you use Lidar on lenses that are already autofocus?
Don't think you get how autofocus lenses work. the lens has part of the system, but if the camera is a video camera (Arri, Red, Blackmagic) the lens works as a manual lens. If you are shooting with a DSLR or Mirrorless (stills camera) they have the second part of the autofocus system, so those autofocus lenses work as intended.
Well I found it helpful. There are a lot of people on YT (creators) claiming photo lenses can work with lidar autofocusing with a ring, which this video helps clarify that false narrative.
Yeah, with the current setup and the lack of ability to manually set end point. I would not risk using on a job... There is plenty of things to keep in mind as it is on shoots. If the equipment doesn't perform 100% right. In my opinion is not worth the stress it could create in the middle of a shoot. If you have manual cinema glass with hard stops it works perfectly.
The title should be "I SHOULD HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PRODUCT BEFORE PURCHASING".
😂😂l
The tittle got you to click on the video didn't it?
@@Luiscameraman - I watched it and thought I’d write a more accurate title to ACTUALLY help those who wondered upon the comment section.
@@daniellove162 lol that's why in 4 years u have managed grow your channel to a grand total of 4 subs. Brother the Internet is full of trolls. Everyone thinks they can do things better, most don't have the balls to actually try and do it. Thanks for the comment.
C'mon, líder for a manual lens. Why don't you just get any focal lens.
Not sure if I understand your question correctly, but the reason I would prefer to use a zoom lens on the gimbal is that I would only have to calibrate the gimbal once and use multiple focal length within a shoot. So imo more efficient.
there are some manual focus zoom lenses that you can calibrate with líder
@@dimitrimoonlight yeah, like the 2 lenses I mentioned in the video.
well they just released the new version
Yeah, seen it yesterday.
So does it work now? no more regrets?
thinking about buying it lmao
@@userrelkjwrweefdggfdgsagsadgw not sure, I'm waiting to get the RS4 pro with the new lidar and give it a try.
The title of this video is clickbaity, I immediately clicked the video thinking it was going to shine a light on something I did not know or expect... And when you finally said the reason for your regret, I literally rolled my eyes, lol... But I did read the comments in this video as well, and I see your point but maybe add the real reason in your title to avoid making people think you just got them to click on your video for views... Ok, I'm out! 🙏🏼
Fair point, in the end if the videos perform better it helps the channel reach a wider audience, the more people I can reach the easier it is to make more videos.
@@Luiscameraman touché brother. Buena suerte con su canal 👍🏼
buy a lumix
Not in to MTF, I used a gh5s Limix back in the day, great colours in the footage, but that small sensor and autofocus put me off.
lol get a cinema lens, you're using this wrong
Thanks for the comment. I might get one soon. 👍
Lidar is amazing and never had problems ! misleading info mate
Have you used it with lenses without hard stops? Or just cine lenses?
@@Luiscameraman i have them too, but i don’t use them with lidar, if you have more lenses to choose from like cine manual lenses, or with non hard stop, it depends on You how you will use lidar, its literally looking into useless problem for nothing man. You know it wont work with lenses who doesn’t have hard stop, cmon..
Misleading title. You cannot afford a $2,000 lens and you do jobs video related?
lol, don't get your reasoning.
You obviously have wrong expectations, this Rangefinder blew me away. I went in knowing exactly why I need it - for my set of Cine primes.
Not sure you understood the point of the video. I also have a set of primes and it works fine with them, as I say in the video, but, it would be very good if we could manually set endpoint allowing us to use also zoom lenses that haven't got hard stops. So a firmware upgrade would be the solution to make in this a better unit. 👍🏾
Totally agree with you …. It’s a fantastic surprise for me and I use it with Lens THAT HAVEN’T HARD STOP 😊
