    2) I'm very excited to see where this tech continues to evolve, but right now it seems like the system was designed by the person that worked on the old Sony camera menus...
    3) You, as always, are incredible for bringing us such in-depth info and thorough testing! Many thanks!!

    FWIW those aren't vintage Cooke lenses the Alexa 35 is using. That is Cooke Mini S4/i which were introduced around 2011. Also look into the Preston Ranger 2. That is what we use on big sets for this kind of technology when needed. Most jobs don't need something like this as professional 1st AC's are quite good and a lot of narrative work requires control and understanding of focus more than just tracking whoever is in the middle of frame. Bouncing focus for dialogue scenes are a good example. Most AC's are very happy for more tools like this to become options because focus is a hard job and it's only a fraction of what an assistant cameraperson does. Good video by the way, I'm new to this channel and enjoyed it.

    I fully tested the PD Movie Live Air 3 Smart with LiDAR and did a review. While I understand the benefit of facial recognition...the PD Movie is far better suited for the obvious, auto focus when manual focus pullers could benefit from it.
    DJI is onto something, but it feels like they don't wanna develop new items, and the add on and add on is getting quite crazy now.
    It seems as if they don't want to alienate their gimbal.

    LIDAR with an auto focus lens?
    I feel like I saw a review stating that you can use LiDAR with them but I’m seeing people stating that you can’t.
    Obviously the best thing about the LiDAR is to be able to use all the manual lenses, but being able to get excellent focus in the dark is a great attribute, doing it with an auto focus lens would be a great addition for shooting wedding videos, when you want to instantly switch to snap a photo. I’m very new to all of this so if there is something I’m missing that make is not feasible and taking another route is better, then I would love be to hear it. Thank you.
    Also thank you for the review. It was very helpful.

  • @cjadams7434

    One reason it might be useful to have both DJI Transmission TX/RX units or TX/HB-Monitor units on the same rig is for SteadiCam Use! - You might well have the TX and HB-monitor on the same rig and then extra RX units on set for video village or 1st AC…so DJI may want to have a reduced power setting mode like the TeraDek Bolt does so you can put the steadicam’s RX/HB-M units in low power mode for that use case

    @mennyus Год назад

    great video. I work on big budget stuff, but only recently tried out the Ronin 4D and bar none the biggest revelation was this lidar depth mapping tech inside. BUT no one will EVER really use this on big sets in its current form. As soon as DJI offer it as a standalone system this will take the industry by storm. A few things need to happen for that to work though:
    - have it be a standalone system that can sit on top of the camera like the Cine RT
    - Integrate it with high end FIZ systems, like the Preston HU-4 and the ARRI Hi-5
    / or
    - Integrate it with Teradek's transmission system so you can have it overlayed on your monitor. I know you said in the video that 70ms delay is acceptable, but this is categorically false on big sets and everyone will stick to Teradeks and Vaxis transmitters other than the drone guys, who love the range of the DJI transmission.
    I think the problem right now, for ACs anyway, is that DJI wants to build its own ecosystem on top of this tech, and while the lidar system is ready, the transmission system is only getting there (I mean it's amazing, it's 90% there, but needs to be zero latency to compete with teradek) and their focus system is non-existent.

    • @MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL
      @MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL  Год назад +1

      we had no failure on the Arri rig, just needed to calibrate the sensor plane first. We forgot to do that. But yes for standalone run and gun setup, its not ideal. Heavy and cumbersome. It really is meant for the pro world. Now if only DJI can release a new transmitter that doesn't have 70millisecond lag, then you would see this everywhere.

    Just fyi, there is Axoncine BM3DF-g2 that works with DJI 3D focus without gimbal, totally independent, but you need also Tilta Nucleus Nano motor/control wheel. I use it with ZCam + anamorphic lenses/adapters. It is not perfect and doesn't have any face detection or tracking, but follows focus well when subject in 3D "eye". You can store 5 lenses calibration data and can be switched by button when swapping lenses without recalibration. Not very pricey either. Works for basic shoots within 10 m or so, ie what 3D can see.

    As a first AC I would love just the LiDAR map to pull focus until they can get their Wireless Focus on 15mm rods, autofoucs is great but there is the art of where the DP wants focus to land as well. I think they have a huge market they they are kinda only half tapping into right now. If they made a wireless focus system like the Titla M series and paired it with their LiDAR tech I think DJI would instantly take over the game when it comes to wireless focus systems. If they don't pick up the slack I hope someone does because this is an insanely helpful tool that I hope is explored more.

As a DP and Focuspuller on bigger commercial sets i would love to use the Lidar Focus overlay/depth map, that lets u see where ur focus and subject is but i would never use that screen as a focus monitor because it lacks too much industry standard options compared to a smallhd for example. And yes i used it before and it worked but just was unconvenient compared to a smallhd and its functions. Also would never use autofocus in 90% of scenarios...

    You don’t really need the transmitter and receiver to make it work as a solo shooter. If you only have the RS3 pro you can set up the LiDAR with it. Once set, disconnect it from RS3 pro and use a v mount battery and an special DTap to usbc to feed the LiDAR. The system would keep the last settings you had on the RS3. This a bit more budget friendly, takes a bit more time and preparation while setting it, I also have noticed that with my 85mm 1.5 focusing wasn’t as smooth than with wider focal lengths but overall it does a pretty decent job.
