      I'm a little shocked at how the b4 lens, weighing almost 2 kg, holds on without support... is she really all metal and is she not afraid of such loads?

    Beautiful footage! I found the two looked very close, but I prefer the subtle softness and extra filmic look of the 1080p Fairchild sensor. Also not being bale to playback in camera with the G2 is a dealbreaker for me. Can't wait for the Smallrig handle to come out!

      @AltCine  6 місяців тому +2

      Thanks Alex, so good when you have nice places to shoot. Yeah the playback is a madness...I do get that it's a studio camera but I'd find that very limiting.
      Hopefully smallrig sort it out quickly.

    I think these are both great cameras, we use both, they have their specific uses and both, IOHO are fantastic in low light. Play back for us isn't so important as we are shooting wildlife and scientific footage and thus there is no "take 2" etc. and hence the need not to waste time playing back footage but to focus (no pun intended) our attentions on actually capturing events which may not happen at the frequency we would like to make filming "easy" LOL. As for cages, not sure why smallrig decided to discontinue the original cage for the BMMCC because it fits precisely the latest model and whatever gear you want to bolt to it.

    Thanks for this video. It was very informative. I'm looking at a G2 for my livestreamingsetup. So it suits my needs more that yours, as you mentioned the G2 is more studio-oriented.
    And I've ordered the HDMI-transmitter you're using. I never knew this existed and it probably fits my needs better than one from Hollyland or Vaxis (I own a transmitter set of both companies).

    G1 definitively more cinematic/movie feeling. Perhaps lower resolution/crop makes it, and/or not so sharp image. But tone of colors also more pleasant with G1.

    I've been eyeing up the studio G2 over the studio G1 or the cinema G1, purely for the 4K and direct to SSD recording. The cost of the 4K assists is significant, so I thought I could direct record 4K - PREVIEW the footage, and use a cheaper 1080p EVF/assist. But the playback seems a bit of a big one... is there any sync possible with external assists, so that the record button will trigger both internal SSD recording and an external assist to record? ie have the assist recording in HD for preview, and the SSD for BRAW? The studio has features (ie being a studio camera as well) that I also want, but I really want to be able to package it into something tiny for fast shooting.
    How does the micro G1 compare with the pocket cinema camera? Same sensor I believe?

      @@madebymccoy I believe you can trigger via the camera or video assist but double check that. There are other monitors that receive the record trigger from camera too...my Shimbol monitor can receive trigger record over hdmi but I don't have the G2 with me to test the other way round.
