I have that gimbal and it broke on me for NO REASON. The thumb button that allows it to be free form continues to lock on me. Such a shame, because I was not even able to get it returned. I also have this Lens with a Sony FX3, I have yet to use any of them. Great video.
Hi Marc, having the gimbal broken should have been a great discomfort. Why weren't you able to return it? Have you written to the Hohem support? Please let me know because if it may happen to any of my followers or to me we can face the problem with more infos.
@@LeonardoAnchisiENG yes, I was in 2 separate countries. It happened unexpectedly without warning or me doing anything wrong. But I had to leave one country, and the gimbal behind. Then doing research, I see this problem happened with a few people.
Announced but not yet shipping: V-AF 1.7:1 Anamorphic adapter (manual focus). I believe that the electrical interface between the adapter and the lens will allow them working together as you change focus, which in theory should get better results across the focus range, compared to an ordinary anamorphic adapter + conventional lens.
@@LeonardoAnchisiENG The 58 mm filters *should* work with the new Anamorphic MF adapter, just as they work with the current Manual Focus adapter. I don't have 58mm filters (yet) so I haven't tested it. The filter threads are *inside* the bayonet connector for the add-on adapters, and thus should not get in the way. (Currently I use matte box filters, or a circular VND that I have adapted to slide onto the front of the Manual Focus adapter.)
@@LeonardoAnchisiENG I take back my answer about using 58mm filter with any adapter on V-AF lenses (either Manual Focus or coming Anamorphic MF). The 58mm filters stand proud of the front of the lens because of the casing holding the filter element. (Otherwise you would have a very hard time screwing them on and off!). But this will most likely interfere with the connection between the adapters and the lenses. B&H tells me that Samyang recommends matte boxes when using adapters on V-AF, if you want to add filters.
Is there no moving element that will hit the circular filter when focusing? I already ordered one 24mm V-AF and planning to use clear circular filter just for protection
How do you get an ND or mist filter on the lens. Its 75mm and everything is designed for 77. I've tried using step up rings but it's not a good fit. Anyway advice would be helpful
The filter screw on the grooves inside. On the Samyang site (www.lksamyang.com/en/product/v-af.php) please look at the specs sheet and find the line " Filter diameter". I hope I've helped you :)

@@EsauistheCaucasian Have you written to the Hohem support?
It's really interesting. Thank you!!!
Thanks a lot

Please let me know how it works, as it seems to be very interesting. I also wonder if you can use it with a filter on the lens.

No, don't worry.
@@LeonardoAnchisiENG thank you so much

All the Samyang Cine AF lenses mount 58mm filters and I got it on Amazon from K&F. Why do you say 75mm?
@@LeonardoAnchisiENG Where does it screw onto? The silver part or the grooves inside? It says 75 on website.

You can use an adapter ring 58 to 77 then use a 77mm filter. The 75mm front thread is not for filters.
@@occidenterra1387 The black grooves inside. The silver front diameter is for Samyang manual focus and anarmorphic adapters.
