Looks to me like there might be something inside the DOF adapter itself - on the sequence with all the different lenses used the same mark persists through all of them.
actually i was thinking, for a dslr camera the footage in your studio looks pretty bad, turns out it was the phone =D very good explanation of the adapter, nice idea!
Thanks for this video i was a little skeptical about this DOF adapter because I watched a video from “10th parallel media” and it looked so much blurrier but I wonder if it was the lenses he was using but this video was helpful.
are you using filmic pro? Filmic lets you manually set phone camera focus, but how does that interact with the lens focus. Do you need to double focus?
I was using filmic pro, yes. You don't need to fiddle with the internal focus, as I said, that's just focussed on the focussing screen. It does not ever need to change.
hi , can you use a speedbooster/focal reducer with the BOF to get a lens faster for more light ? ,, ( might be a dumb question , lol , im new to this )
Don’t quote me on this, but I remember seeing someone doing this with the original Beastmaster DOF adapter-basically having to do it because the screen wasn’t very bright.
Thank you for the comment on “cinematic”! I also propose we give a name for those who go on and on about b-roll. Let’s call them “brolls” or “brollers”.
@@BluntyTV Well how rude of them. How's a creator supposed to influence their audience if the manufacturer won't let you play with the new toys? Thanks as always.
Brilliant. Some shots have more edge defocus and vignette than others, do you find that is a result of the phone camera focusing on the screen in the adapter or does edge sharpness vary depending on what lens you have on it?
From watching this video and looking at photos of the adapter on the Ulanzi site, it depends on the lens-it’s physical length and weight. There is a tripod mount socket on the adapter, so the camera is hanging off the adapter, not the other way around (if it isn’t obvious). A baseplate with rails would allow you to use more accessories (eg, follow focus, matte box, etc.). Haha, it just occurred to me there’s another definition of cinematic: how much equipment and crew you’re using-not the quality of the image or storytelling. I think I’d much rather *look* cinematic than make something cinematic. Haha!
Nice. Though extra adapter required if you aren’t using a Sony lens. Super telephoto though with my 75-300. Lol. Imagine using a 70-200 2.8 Canon with it. Crazy
Is there something like this for the GoPro Hero 5 Black? That's my usual goto camera that I normally have on me, I tried googling before asking, but all I found was pre-modded gopros that cost quite a lot of money, and at that point I may as well just buy a new camera
OK, so I know nothing about DSLR/Full-frame lenses so from a beginners view, what do you recommend as starter lens? Adapters if not using an e-mount lens? Stuff like that..
Frankly, I'd not recommend this AT ALL to "beginners". The skill floor needed to use this effectively is too high. You're better off learning the basics first on a "normal" camera, THEN you will KNOW what lenses you'd want to be using with this anyway.
@@BluntyTV I had a GH3 for 5 years and that was fun but it surged whilst tryna to get ythe SD card out of it's port (I used a knife - I know, stupid mistake) but I don't know anything about Full-Frame and so had been looking at Samyang lenses but just don't know what to choose. Want to use for a short film.
Skuu Digital I HAVE OPINIONS ON THIS! Lol. You’re going to need to convert from FF (old style 35mm film, actually) to understand in terms of m43, though. A basic lens set is wide, normal, and tele. Back in the day, normal was considered 50mm, but I never liked the look of that focal length overall. So my basic 3 were 24mm (wide), 35mm (normal) and 105mm (short tele, more of a portrait lens). That should cover 80-90% of your needs if you zoom with your legs and feet.
best phrase I have heard in a while "punching the sun in the nuts" OMG LOL! Thanks for the video it was very very helpful. There aren't many videos on here for DOF for phones and this is probably the best one especially since you show them in use! Vs. just talking about them. Beast grip has a new one out have you thought about getting one to make a video on?
The case and some of their other accessories seem interesting. Have never really been big into video so this is kinda a step down in quality for still photography compared to my camera. I have next week off maybe I try and do some videography in Melbourne and see what happens.
The adapter looks interesting, I really like the idea of being able to use a regular lens on a smartphone. I do have to say though that pretty much all of these shots are overexposed. Makes it look pretty bad.
8:10 "but also without aperture control so if you're planning on using either of these lenses with this system, a variable neutral density filter might come in handy." don't think Blunty was trying to give us perfectly exposed shots or put the adapter in the best light. he was giving us a realistic use case and overview, as evidenced by what he was doing with/in the shots. the rest is up to the user.
I would give my left leg if these were adapted to work on 4k video camcorders, I have to have a camcorder for half of my work, the other half I have to have a large sensor camera. If i could save my kit a whole second camera. I would be in heaven, I have one of the old adapters, but the first 4k cam I got back in 2016 showed me It wasnt sharp enough to use anymore.
I don’t know enough about the optics of screens, but that seems to be the limiting factor. Although vastly improved from just a few years ago. That said, for all the money I’ve already been putting into this “hobby”, and that I plan to continue putting into it, I wonder if I wouldn’t be better off buying a 10 year old 2k cinema camera.
is thair a mark on your lense ???
Looks to me like there might be something inside the DOF adapter itself - on the sequence with all the different lenses used the same mark persists through all of them.
Thanks man. I watched a ton of videos on this subject and this was my favorite. It was also the only one I found FOCUSING on video instead of stills.
actually i was thinking, for a dslr camera the footage in your studio looks pretty bad, turns out it was the phone =D
very good explanation of the adapter, nice idea!
it looks CINEMATIC!
Thanks for this video i was a little skeptical about this DOF adapter because I watched a video from “10th parallel media” and it looked so much blurrier but I wonder if it was the lenses he was using but this video was helpful.
Probably wasn't aligned exactly. I had the same problem.
Sir this product is not available this site
Yeah The video's nearly FOUR FUCKING YEARS OLD... shit changes
are you using filmic pro? Filmic lets you manually set phone camera focus, but how does that interact with the lens focus. Do you need to double focus?

@@BluntyTV Many thanks! Great video!
@@BluntyTV THIS is a useful answer!!! Nobody else talks about this and i always wondered... Thanks!
I'm on minute 2:24 and I already like this guy! straight out cutting the bs! more videos like this please,

THanks for video. What can you advice for stabilization?
Thank you for the comment on “cinematic”! I also propose we give a name for those who go on and on about b-roll. Let’s call them “brolls” or “brollers”.
Really nice looking footage
Do you think I can use it for a large distance lens (like for surfing captures) with no so much hard efforts?
Ahhhh this is the adapter you were talking about. I dig it!
YERP. Super fun.
OMG I am SO excited about this!!! I really hope they make a cage to use with the S10+! Thank you so much sir for making this, what I needed.
Nice bit of kit. Can the frame be used with an MV88 mic attached to the lightning port?
No idea. I don't have a MV88 (though I did recently try to talk to Sure about teh MV88+... they UTTERLY ignored me LUL)
@@BluntyTV Well how rude of them. How's a creator supposed to influence their audience if the manufacturer won't let you play with the new toys? Thanks as always.
Really useful video, thanks! Alas it looks like Ulanzi no longer make that cage?
Brilliant. Some shots have more edge defocus and vignette than others, do you find that is a result of the phone camera focusing on the screen in the adapter or does edge sharpness vary depending on what lens you have on it?
That’s lens stuff yup
Do you need a rail to use for support and is it a smaller adaptor than Beastgrip DOF adaptor

Can i use the adapter for my nikon 50mm lens...?
Thank god for the new cinematic mode
This adapter seems pretty cool, I wish there were a case to use it on the S10
this is incredible
'cinematic' rant. I want Blunty 'cinematic' rant!!! I'm so over hearing about it!

I want the same for my insta 360
Very cool Adapter! Nice Case to get those lenses lined up. Enhance Bottom left quadrant! lol The screen creates a pretty neat grain.
The case and some of their other accessories seem interesting.
Have never really been big into video so this is kinda a step down in quality for still photography compared to my camera.
I have next week off maybe I try and do some videography in Melbourne and see what happens.
That is wild
This is really useful! I might be tempted to switch to an iPhone for using parts like these! I just wish they weren't so expensive!
the adapter is only 139.5 usd, half price of beastgrip

Probably takes the gimbal out of the question
Nonsense, you just need a bigger gimbal! :D And bigger biceps so you can lift it!
you sound like johny deep
Bokeh! Bokeh! Bokeh!
Xs pro max
Too much vignetting and too grainy and soft looking
not your style but maybe for others. what lenses do you use? suggestions?
Take a mate 30 pro ^^
WATCHED THE FIRST 1 MIN N WAS LIKE YUP SUBSCRIBING SO TRUUUUU "cinematic" does not mean slow mo broll
