@@CoronadosBrickHouse sounds insane, and shouldn’t be real, but AirPods Max paired with Final Cut Pro has virtually zero audio delay. So yes!

@ man, I’ve been trying to find a reason to go wireless to remove my MDR cables but I don’t think I can justify the switch in any way. Although Bluetooth just feels better.

@@CoronadosBrickHouse Just be careful, not all bluetooth is the same. Especially when editing - watch out for the audio delay that sometimes happens in video editors.

same. It's still the best.

@@jacobzatorsky we love a good deal!!

@@RossBarnett02 honestly i was so close to choosing the small rig but you opened my mind to this!

@@ekphotography dang!! I’ve been seeing the Amazon prices rise steadily over the last few weeks. If you buy from K&F directly, it’s currently $118 and you can still use my discount on the description.

@@RossBarnett02 Just tried to but after going through all the hassle and with your code they say they are out of Stock as soon as I hit check out.. I smell BS. And in Amazon I added 5 to my cart and it was fine, so they are lying if you ask me...

@@Meredream87 that’s a really good point. Looking back on photos years down the line will be the best.

@@Photomeike appreciate it!

I appreciate the honesty 😂

@@vasilisrroshi8642 All depends on the codec you’d like to record in. For me, external recording is rarely needed these days with the amount of codecs offered in camera.

@RossBarnett02 yes true, if you do only photography you just need monitoring,,

@@oscarrivera967 such a steal!!

Where, they are 118.00 on their site and amazon...

@ discount code “ROSS” brings that $118 down to $94 on their website. Amazon is currently $118 with an additional $15 coupon bringing it down to $105

@@DEFYfitness my setup might be a little different running the Shinobi II. BUT I have a D-Tap to Sony NP adapter powering the monitor, then the monitor powering the camera via usb-c. Again, this setup only works with the Shinobi II. Link in the description for that power adapter.

@@trogo420 I would say no. I shoot at 150 a lot on a tripod on this lens. It’s great. However, remember to turn off stabilization when shooting on a tripod.

@@rogerdatfilms there’s a link in the description to a SmallRig plate I’m using. It attaches with two screws to the bottom of the camera & gives you a v-mount attachment. It’s a fantastic solution if you don’t need rails.

@@GarCorStudio I am glad (but also so sorry) that I brought this issue to your attention. It’s so odd. I really only ever noticed it when resting the bottom of the camera on my leg and having the battery pop off. Not the end of the world, but definitely something to keep in mind 🤙🏼

@ Don’t be sorry. In fact, I am very glad because I can be cautious when attaching vmount batteries since I took it for granted and that could at some point be detrimental in the middle of a job. Probably explains why some creators advocate more towards the gold mounts. Idk. Anyways, keep up the good work.

Honestly, I’ve never had any issues running off brand batteries in my camera, or running off brand batteries on anything. I think the whole “cheap batteries fry your gear” thing is a myth created by high end brands. 😂

Sony definitely got sick of fixing cameras under warranty ,from knock off batts / dummy batts bricking cameras . Im not saying all off brand batts are bad , my FxLion mini V mounts have been perfect for over 4 years , just that I wouldn't go looking for the cheapest , same with cards , there has to be a reason they can still make a profit and charge far less than the majority of manufacturers.

@@Marvnz YAY!!! Marvnz approved!!

@RossBarnett02 100% 😏♥️♥️✌️

Truly is a fantastic time!!

SmallRig is always doing different price structures and having sales on all their gear, so yes! A good find!

@@jakeohare913 interesting!! With my setup here, I don’t power my camera from the v-mount battery. It’s powering the monitor, then the monitor is providing power delivery to the camera. I’ve never been a big fan of dummy batteries. But I’ll definitely see how the reliability holds up over time.

@@RossBarnett02 These were more issues with V-mount plates for cinema camera (like FX6/9 types), but yeah same I don't trust dummy batteries and just use for monitors and follow focus. But if I did, USB-c charging with a cable that has a regulator would be the way to go!

@@jakeohare913 I use a Kondor Blue dummy battery on a smallrig v mount battery or sometimes on the kondor blue v mount battery itself while the small rig is attached to it (it has a D tap connection directly from the plate) Should I be cautious now? First time seeing this. Still bit of a newb but cannot afford to ruin my camera.

@@rogerdatfilms I wouldn't worry too much Kondor blue is pretty reputable for its dummy batteries as long as you make sure you're plugging in the d-tap correctly. I just use usb-c charging for my rig out of an abundance of caution

@@DRYLREVOLUTION seems like a lot of commenters have had the same issue with the SmallRig plate. Odd. Still love it, but it’s an annoying flaw for sure.

wow good to know, so you dont have issues with the neewer? How long can you power the Ninja V with that one?

please explain? how this one didn't and the neewer does?

@@drake8915 broke filmmakers unite! 😂

I think most of us filmmakers are broke😊

Heck yeah, both great products. I've used the SmallRig for years and the K&F as of recent. This video is 100% designed around the K&F being so much more affordable. But still, both great buys!

@@Fredo.heavyy love that!!

@@robertdouble559 lol, fair point. There’s a “hair light” behind me to create separation from the black wall / but (because I’m lazy) it’s just on the ground pointing up towards my head at a 45° angle. So when I lean forward the chair creates a shadow and the light misses my head, when I lean back it’s fully on my head. I need to move it above my head where a hair light belongs. For what it’s worth I appreciate the comment 🤙🏼

@@robertdouble559 Any battery from 15 years ago that’s still working is super impressive! Only time will tell!

@@Samvisualarts looking at the comments on this video, the loose lock seems to not be an issue for everyone (thankfully!), but there are a few others who share the same issue as I do.

@@AlbertoMendoza dang! After reading a few comments I was hoping this was an isolated issue with just my plate & batteries. SO weird!

@@fauland_photography I just have one of the SmallRig plates, 2 SmallRig batteries both have the same issue. At first I thought it was just a me problem. I was honestly hoping for that (I really do love SmallRig, no hate here) - but after reading some comments there are others in the comments with the same issues. So, I guess I’m not alone.

@@RossBarnett02 Sounds like your locking mechanism of the plate has a problem. I had 1st ACs even holding the cam using the battery with the plate . I got really mad at him for that by the way :-) I will have a closer look at that tomorrow on the next shoot. :-)

@@BlackapinoTheTechGuy love that! I haven’t tested the Neewer, but I’d imagine they all perform fairly identically.

@@qkay164 I need to hit the GYM!! 💪🏼

@@JaySea oh bummer!!

@@CharlieStrange if you already have the SmallRig, it’s really not an upgrade - but if you ever find yourself needing more v-mounts or end up breaking a battery, the K&F version is such a good deal!!

@@lokeguanrong2828 that’s fantastic to hear. I maybe have 10 hours on each battery so far - hoping to have these for years to come. 🙌🏼

@@blackburst1 Fair point on the discount, SmallRig is continuously changing their pricing structure. I would assume since both K&F & SmallRig are headquartered in the same city, and these batteries are so similar, these batteries are probably manufactured in the same facility. Just as you could assume K&F is using inferior materials, you could also assume the opposite (that other companies are pulling unnecessary profits) But, honestly it’s all assumption at this point. We don’t really know.

@@fofopho ooof, that sucks. I would return them, or (if you’re out of the return date) contact SmallRig customer support. They’ve been fantastic with me in the past.

@@veilleuxfilms Good!! Another commenter said the same. It could very well be an issue with the mount defect since both of my SmallRig Batteries have this issue. Not sure, I’ll look into it more.

The expense of these batteries don't really come from the cells, even a 'high quality' battery from the likes of Samsung or Milicell costs $3-4, so about 1/4 of even these comparatively cheap batteries, and if you use a well respected Chinese battery maker like Eve then your'e talking $1.50 a cell (likely less in large quantities) - the cost likely comes from the tooling required for the expected level of sales. It's not like the lithium in a $550 Anton Bauer battery is going to be more responsibly sourced than that from a k&f concept. The worldwide economy is based around competition and company profits. Buying more expensive gear is never going to result in better conditions for workers in badly regulated mining countries.

@@Superjeanmarc I love this. It really gives you a lot to think about. At the moment though, it’s really just an assumption. You can’t always assume just because a product is cheaper that it’s acquired more or less ethically than the competition. SmallRig & K&F are both headquartered in the same city, and looking at these batteries side by side they’re most likely made in the same factory. In my opinion, SmallRig is just a more established brand, and therefore can charge/profit more from the same product. However - I really don’t know. It’s definitely something to keep an eye out for in the future!

at this pace, you should go back to analog. win win for everyone.

Nice!! I guess it might be something with my V-Mount plate then? Both of my SmallRig Batteries have the same issue with coming loose on this plate. Hopefully it's an isolated issue!

Trying to save money on camera equipment, I bought these batteries that made a lot of noise when they were announced and I bought 6 units that after 6 months of continuous use were dying one by one. After 4 months of use, they only charged 80% in almost 4 torturous hours. With the first 3 damaged batteries, I decided to speak to the manufacturer and they told me that this was very unusual but that they would keep an eye on my case. In the end, the sad story ended with 6 batteries that only charge to 40% that I use to power my TERADEKs until they can no longer be charged. I went back to my super reliable IDX's

@@rafaeldeleon6447 are you talking about the k&f batteries, SmallRig, or a different brand?

@@RossBarnett02 I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Smallrig ones since the K&F ones just came out.

you mean "reigning" not raining. lol

@@NomadicBloke1 unless they rain all over the floor when they pop off the plate unexpectedly. :)

@@588ta I would, but I really don’t think it’s an issue. There is no fan, the monitor gets hot when shooting outdoors, but it doesn’t cause any issues for me other than being a little warm.
