    So two things
    1. Autofocus did me dirty (forgot face tracking on my Lumix)
    2. My mattebox got stolen in that lil robbery, leave your mattebox solutions !

      Also I think it would be nice if the dji transmitter had a solution like acaoons v Mount adapter so you could offload weight off your monitor.

    I think Imma pull the trigger on a Pyxis but only for small commercial work, indie features & Corporate interviews only. The beauty of this camera is you can rig it big or as small as possible depending on what you do.

      Kidding aside, in my case is more that I’m a lot into anamorphics (at the moment I only have a Sirui and one 2x Kowa projector lens but I’m planning on getting Blazar Remus) and Pyxis is a great reasonable option for open gate/full frame and having internal BRAW

    Is there a setting that I’m missing for power redundancy? When I have a V mount powering the camera and it runs out or I change the battery the cam does not seamlessly switch to the BPU battery. It turns off, stops recording and then powers back on.

    • @ghospod
      @ghospod Місяць тому

      so having a small BP-U attached won't prevent from frying the SDI port if the V mount battery dies while recording?
