So you can't use it for motion tracking. 😢
It's so amazing to see people discovering the 2012 magic lantern and see the wonders we did with the 7d and T3i
Man I remember setting it up for my buddy to film all my friends skating ha
Right
in the forums back in the day, hacking the 5d mark ii x iii
50d!
Good old days
Couldn't help but watch the ENTIRE video. Very intriguing concept. Very interested to see what results can be gained with this set-up. Looking forward to seeing the limitations of dynamic range.
I’m happy with the direction of the channel, keep it up! Also wish magic lantern was available for more canon cameras however to be fair, it is reliant on volunteers and I don’t doubt it’s been getting harder and harder to code and debug the new cameras.
I bought one of EOS-Ms years ago to use as a high tripod camera for exterior photography. When I got the DJI Ronin, it also became my video camera, though I was using it with the the Cinestyle profile rather than ML. I had ML, but never really dug deep into it. I’ll check out your other videos and see what else it can do.
I think you're going to win UA-cam with this video.
I didn't know about your channel before this, it came up in my notifications.
I'm a black magic fan, but love a good hack.
Thanks for posting this video, it's right up my street.
You said it! There is a very easy learning curve to use the Magic Lantern hack but the quality that this camera produces just blows my mind for the price. With the right lens you footage is gonna pop- I favor the TTArtisan 35mm. For less than 300$ you can be set up with an incredible kit. I wish someone had told me this before I spent hours upon hours watching vids on overpriced high end cameras like the GH6 / S5 /sigma etc… save your money.
If you're just starting out and don't have a wad of $$$s to throw at a rig, this is a VERY good way to ease into it.
S5 is far from overpriced. Stabilization, full frame, 10 bit log, dual iso, 4k 60 etc, unthinkable not that long ago. It outperforms some dslr flagships from nikon and canon in low light.
@@fredriksvard2603 It's just a bummer that in 4k60 there is a crop...
@@PaulHarwood856 I know, i thought it would be a big deal but after a while i concluded that for me footage with crop was still good, 60/120/180 fps in 1080 is good, and i shoot 24fps almost all the time anyway. To get that noncropped slomo you pretty much have to double de budget and get an a7s3 or something. So it's still not overpriced, i can't fathom how the gh6 is priced higher.
@@fredriksvard2603 Thank you for your input I do appreciate it. I'm filming skateboarding lines with a fisheye so full frame is important to me. A7s III is great hopefully by time I have enough money the price will drop! LOL! - Paul
Nice one. Looking forward to the follow-up. I own two Canon Ms myself with decently low shutter counts in mint condition. I'm currently saving up and building them up into cinema rigs to shoot short pieces and music videos.
Oh my god, I haven't heard of magic lantern in so long! I used it on my 600d (t3i) like 6-7 years ago, it was cool but that camera definitely didn't have the capability to handles it at it's best. Also the 5D had some lagginess when you were using ml on it. Honestly I think that the 2k prores of the Alexa it's still a better image (technical specifications and mere resolution apart) since the ale sensor is a really well tuned piece of hardware but I understand the need of a smaller and lighter camera. The Alexa definitely works at peak performance in a well structurated set.
Great contents, the series about the Alexa restoration has been really fun to watch. Keep it up!
A Canon T2i and Magic Lantern changed my life about 12 years ago. That's when I figured out that I personally could actually shoot good quality video. I was a still photographer and had been trying to teach myself how to shoot video and the camcorder I was using wasn't cutting it....but I thought it was ME who wasn't cutting it. That's when a buddy of mine turned me on to the Canon T2i and Magic Lantern. I still remember how joyous it was to realize in just one weekend that I could shoot SO MUCH BETTER video than I thought I could. One of the biggest things for me was that Magic Lantern gave me so much more control of the audio on the T2i. Suddenly you had audio levels right on the screen! Not to mention zebras and tons of exposure control. I've graduated to more advanced cameras now but I still have that T2i to this day...and even bought a second one for a two camera setup back then. I had no idea Magic Lantern was even still a thing! Glad to hear it's still hanging in there!
Stupid question but does the t2i get features like higher bit depth video or anything like that? Have one laying around but had no idea you could hack the firmware haha
@@b3arodactyl No higher bit depth unfortunately. You can't change the hardware. But the ML hack does give you almost total control over the camera. Features that we take for granted on today's DSLRs were hidden and/or crippled on the T2i. It won't turn your camera into a Sony A7S mIII, but it's totally worth it. Plus lenses for this camera are cheap and with an adapter you can mount just about any lens. Hope that helps.
I still use it.
I pulled my t2i out today and shot photos on the classic 50mm f1.8…. Not gonna lie, I’m nicely lit situations this camera color science is amazing.
@@WillCaban The "Nifty Fifty" is a great kit lens. Yes, it has a few shortcomings, but once you know the limitations you can easily just work around them. And for the $$$s, that lens is a steal! And yes, even back then Canon's color science was pretty amazing.
Made it to the end. Also I was looking into getting a new camera for general use and occasional video capabilities. This makes a strong candidate now. Thanks for all the work put into these videos.
Unbelievable....!!! Thank you so much for your information and comparison!
Really looking forward to the comparison!
I made it to the end. This was super helpful. I’m trying to find something affordable that shoots good video in low light for under $300
Made it to the end. Sounds like a nice project
the real baby Alexa is OG BMPCC. The Fairchild sensor is equipped with the same dual-gain technology as the ALEV sensor ;)
That is correct
Magic lantern sure does some interesting stuff, but it doesn’t really make sense that such a small camera doesn’t just blow up or something😆
It does nearly blow up trust me lol
This video makes me so happy and so mad at the same time! For one it's crazy cool how much magic lantern unlocks for the eos m. On the other hand I'm so mad at myself because the eos m was the first camera I ever bought (7 years ago), and I sold it shortly there after once I picked u a Panasonic g7. I'm so annoyed that I didn't hold on to it after everything I've learned about filmmaking in the years since! It's such a great camera with so many features in such a small package! I may need to find another one for sale then...
Made it to the end. I 'll have to check this camera out. Thank you
yes! ill be waiting for that video for SURE!
You should try the dual iso mode on the M as well.
I'd love to see a magic lantern type program come to older Sony and Panasonic cameras. I'd love to see what a a6000 series of G85 could do when hacked
Can’t believe I watched the WHOLE thing. Lol. Made it to the end! Actually this was pretty interesting. Any stability or overheating issues or? Thanks for sharing!
LOVE your videos. Made it to the end haha
Just got my eos M! Will keep following along 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I have one but it's so buggy and hard to monitor that I barely ever use it. This has reinspired me to use it!
I know what you mean, I have an Alexa too.
What lens is best to use with this set to achieve maximum film look? What did you use? :)
Wow, very cool. I've bought one just to do black and white photography and I wasn't aware this can be mentioned on the same page as an Arri Alexa. 😊
How long can it record in 1080 and raw continuously?
This was actually my very first camera ever and I’m really disappointed I ever sold it! Great little kit!
It’s a shame magic lantern isn’t available for newer Canon cameras. I had quite a lot of success with it 5-8years ago. Though some of the features I used are now built into the R series.
It has more to do with the fact that magic lantern needs more hackers.
@@SeezSantos And Canon hates this, so they are trying to disable hacks in their new cameras.
The main magic dev said that the newer models, beginning with the Canon 5DM4 have a far more complex software and hardware structure. Therefore being very hard to hack, and not worth the effort anymore.
I remembered they unlocked Canon 7D for HDR video. Basically use two CPUs and line skipping to combine two exposures together. It's nuts!
Its not easy to hack the newer digic procesor, the eos m procesor is old and i dont think its digic also.
That's a cool tool for people learning if they want to become movie makers.
Made it to the end 🙃 I hope Magic Lantern someday releases a firmware for the Canon SL2 🥺
Made it to the end. That was awesome. So great. Thank you 😘😘☺️🤍🧘♂️
Hi! Nice video!
Could you tell me the maximum time i can record on 1080p at 30/60?
Or stops at 20min of recording?
Thanks!
I made it to the end! And those are really well thought out and informative video!
And that was a*
Sorry, I was using talk to text 🤣
I've shot two shorts with ML on the Canon 7D. Still looks pretty darn good. Only problem is very dense foliage and things like that, it tends to become rather garbled and chroma-blurred.
Made it to the end!!! Very good video!
Hi there is a video to explain how install the firmware in EOS M? Thanks
Good coincidence, I was already on the hunt to buy this camera, but for other reasons like getting a full frame lens on it with speed booster adapter and to use a 25mm 1.4 CCTV lens with C Mount, but now I have a third and most important reason, I can record in fucking raw and get focus peaking? Hell fucking yeah!! Thank you!!
We really needed another codec 😌 can't even keep up with them . thank goodness for mp4
How would this camera camera compare to the latest M series cameras from Canon like the M6 II, M200 or M50 with the magic lantern hack?
Great video. Watched to the end. Well done.
There’s a ton of really good conversion LUTs for clog that gives you Arri colors. This is cool because of the price of the M but dynamic range and the roll off is what really makes an Arri standout. The M is just never going to be able to achieve that because it’s the sensor.
Which, of course you covered in your video.
I was waiting for him to mention the usable Dynamic range 😂
I have a couple of these and need to give this a try!
SUBSCRIBED!
...and I made it to the end.
This is easy to get going and setup and the picture is great but be aware the higher resolutions and raw video do not run that long and it crashes like crazy but when you find the right settings and C Mount lens things get interesting
Also in most of the interesting settings, the View screen is unusable.
To say the rolling shutter is horrible is an understatement. Moving the camera is not recommended.
This is great for fun but never let it get anywhere near your Paid shoots.
I think it is good for someone that wants to create some footage to practice color grading and editing in apps like Davinci resolve
Ppl buy this camera to make the exact same video u made like a 1000 times lmao
Damn you so Savage lol
I know. 😂 I’ve seen about 50 now.
Made it to the end and subbed :D
Made it to the end, thanks 😊
I wonder if there are any hacks like this for old sony cameras such as the nex, a6*** series or the old a7’s.
Hi, thanks for your video. Would like to know if you could make one video for editing work flow from MLV to PR with this RAW file. Thankd a lots.
can you attach a fisheye lense to it?
Got a favorite lens for the eos-m?
You Didn't Leave A Link To Purchase The Camera
I’ve read some stuff online saying that the 5diii or 5dii are the best options for raw video, is this camera just the cheapest that is decent? Thinking of picking up one of those two as a second body to shoot weddings and such, would be awesome to do video too
Hey did you find anything about it?
Can you give link for purchase??
Made it the the end ❤ great video!
I bought this camera 5/6 years ago and installed magic lantern in it and stopped using it. Glad I stumbled across this, gonna see if I can update it. Rather not buy another camera if I don’t have to
I wonder if there is a version of magic lantern for Sony cameras
Is the touchscreen still functional after installing the magiclantern firmware????
Would you recommend this camera for beginners?
Awesome video!
I’ve been relying on Magic Lantern for years on my EOS M, but only recently started experimenting with RAW. I was going to shoot a short film with it, but was uncertain of the reliability in a real shooting situation.
I’d really value an examination of the various shooting resolutions, especially those that require scaling up in post. It seems counterintuitive to me to advocate upscaling, but I’ve seen the results and they seem to be pretty good.
Thanks for your work! Well done!
Pardon me, but how is it that you have an EOS M with ML for years and are uncertain of it's reliability? Am I missing something here? If you have the camera set up and have been relying on it for years, you CANNOT be 'uncertain' unless some part of what you said is untrue, you would KNOW how reliable or not it in the types of scenarios you shoot, right? Not that being certain is in some way required anyway IMO, I've shot on old 2nd hand junk cameras and school loaner cameras for most of what I've shot early on, and sometimes they ate tapes... It happens, you shoot again, possibly with a camera borrowed from the neighbors cat or basement troll, whichever happens to have something and be willing to lend it. Now I have multiple cameras that all work including pro cams, my issues are more about lacking willing actors and other stuff like decent audio gear + people to hold the mic and press REC, but I'll get that sorted too.
@@noth606 I was a little unclear in what I wrote. The EOS M has never been my main camera for paid or professional work. It’s mostly been for experimenting. I’ve had ML for years using it for various display tools and the 3x crop mode. That’s been quite reliable. What I was questioning was the reliability of RAW shooting, which puts extraordinary demands on the camera. Lots of people have reported pink frames and other issues they would prevent me from relying on ML for an important project.
That said, the recent Crop Mood rewrite of Magic Lantern appears to have significantly improved performance. So perhaps my concerns are now a thing of the past. I’ll be testing it on my setup sometime soon.
Hope that clears things up.
Is it an eos m3? Been looking for advice like this - I want to shoot surfing clips without spending a lot of money on new equipment. I already have some canon DSLR lenses so this might be my answer, thanks
Make an video over the canon eos m200 please
Do you know if the magic lantern hack works with the M2 version? 👀
What is the solution if I want something to shoot real slow (like 120fps) and keep the budget low and cheap too?
back in the day i installed magic lantern in my (then) new 60D, only 1 year after launch. the peaking, zebras and extra customizability were awesome! but the raw video could only ever record 11 seconds, 14 seconds max when i held an ice pack to it. im pretty sure this eos M cant last that long with raw video either. probably longer than 11 seconds but probably still not long enough to actually be usable for actual scenes.. idk i hope it does though!
I can film 14 bit Raw at 2.8K continuous on my eos m
you needs experimental build with RAW lossless compression, to overcome USB 2.0 interface speed limit.
Does magic lantern work with the upgraded m cameras?
Wish I had gear like this 🥲 awesome videos my dude 💪
How long does it record till it explote?
can you provide product link I Wanna buy
Has thet Camera a clean HDMI outpud?
EOS-M builds that are provided by Zeek have given me very little issues. The base builds on the ML website always gave me issues.
Could I do this with the canon rod m50 ii ?
Watched full, nice interesting video! :)
Do you think it would be good for real estate videographers?
Maid it to the end and I would love actually to see the comparison.
Can you make a video on how much everything cost to setup the Canon EOS M with lens and software and can it serves as a UA-cam video camera?
What about the daynamic range
Which camera is it specifically?
What model is this one more exactly?
Any interest in getting an eos m with ML when on has a 6D mk 1 or a 5D mk 3 on hand?
i still have mine tucked away in a drawer. batteries are shot and the lenses are broken.
I wonder if this software would work on a canon D90
2:08 What does it mean when it says it records in 14bit raw? Is EOS M even able to output 14-bit colour information to the file?
I'm trying for years to find something like that but compatible with canon m100. unfortunately I have found nothing and I don't understand why a newer camera with faster processor can't do the same things 😑
We’re can you get it
I would be cool to see the eos m with magic lantern vs the 5d mark 2 with magic lantern :p
Great idea!
Is there anything similar for sports videography, as in 120fps ?
Cheers
Can't really find the camera online :(
What about the 5d iii, is that not the best IQ magic lantern camera?
What is the name of this specific model of canon eos m? There are a bunch of these
Canon EOS M Mirrorless
How is this camera compared to an R series?
is there a record limit?
What is the name of the background music ?
Made it....this is really cool. I had Magic Lantern installed on my Canon t2i. I'd still be usig that camera if it had autofocus for video.
I feel like this would very really great for independent film makers.
Link to camera?
Wasn't there cdng recording? Which would work in Resolve just fine?
I believe there originally was cDNG recording, but now it only records in MLV RAW files.
solid review Bro.
Thank you!
