SanDisk is completely flat and smooth as a cucumber! 😉

Wide angle I have the CONTAX Zeiss Distagon 18mm f4.0 but unfortunately can’t really recommend it as an “investment”. Don’t get me wrong, I think it is a good lens but hard to justify the price tag given the fact it is “uneventful” in terms of performance. But it keeps on the same line and looks (color/contrast) as the rest of the CONTAX Zeiss…[Read more]

Hi Rob! Aside from the “semi” protruding tabs of the Samsung 860 PRO the SSD works like a charm! The SanDisk Extreme PRO also works very smoothly. And obviously the KineMAG+ which is the SSD Kinefinity sells. I am curious about other brands as well but since those fit the bill so far I have had no need to buy others. Cheers!

Luke, first of all congrats on your new Mavo LF! Secondly, there is nothing special about using 3rd party SSDs, they work, operate, and most of the times perform as the KineMAG+. Your PC should be able to read it normally if you formatted it using your Mavo LF. As I own a Mac, I’ll be unable to even try duplicate your issue but honestly I haven’t…[Read more]

Hi Craig, I own the 35mm f2.8 MMJ and I think it is a fine lens, if you like your 25mm f2.8 then you will like the 35mm f2.8 as I find them to have similar aesthetics just different focal length obviously. Of course, would not be like your trusty 35mm f1.4 just like the 25mm f2.8 will never be like the 28mm f2.0 (Hollywood). Cheers!

You are certainly most welcome! Hope to hear back from you soon when you get your Mavo LF and can share your experiences with the community! Cheers!

Hi Luke!

I am very surprised KineTeam gave you such an uncharacteristic and aggressive lead time. Usually they are pretty conservative about the 4-6 weeks. Mine took 5+ weeks (a day or two shy of the 6th week) and I live in Hong Kong which is like 50 miles from their Shenzhen location. I would recommend to treat “up to 6 weeks” as normal lead…[Read more]

Hi Ferhan,

Here are a few thoughts on your questions:

1) Yes via HDMI using the camera output or, if you bought the KineBack, via SDI. The KineMon is just an ok monitor and it’s perfectly suitable for indoors use. I wouldn’t go as far as calling it garbage as you did, but I get your point, there are plenty of options out there! Other word of…[Read more]

Hi Calvin! Off topic but felt like mentioning it, among the differences between Mavo S35 and LF (besides sensor size of course) is the low light performance. I would say from what I’ve seen the Mavo S35 would be similar to the old Terra 6K but with significantly improved performance in color science and “jello effect”. The LF, on top of having…[Read more]

I would also recommend you to list it in the Facebook unofficial webpage…

Good luck with your sale!

Start a new topic then select “Marketplace”. Cheers!

I’m stuck with the KineMON 5″ for now 🙁 But it’s borderline “unusable” for bright light outdoors conditions, end up missing the focus sweet spot most of the time… Thinking about getting the SmallHD Focus 7″ as I heard good things about it but most important of all it has a nice waveform function! 😉 Cheers!

Hi Luke! Welcome to the KineFamily! Not an expert in monitors but here is an excerpt from their User Manual. I might be wrong but seems like their HDMI only send HD signal. No idea about the KineBack as I don’t own one. Cheers!

Good question… I am not a high “let’s see the drop of milk form the crown” speed shooter so for me they are both the same. Honestly planning on just keeping 1 KineMag and the rest of the SSD arsenal will be SanDisk and Samsung (pro versions of both).

Pull the plug or pull the trigger? Hope is the trigger so we can welcome you to the KineFamily! The 5″ KineMON is not very good and honestly if I knew how it performed in outdoors situations I would have got something different. That said, indoors it is pretty ok and convenient as it is integrated technology for the camera. I have it but honestly…[Read more]

If you are in the UK Carl at ProAV is your best bet. He is a great guy and has used all cameras in the Kinefinity line up. I have used the Terra 4K and the Mavo LF and both are great cameras, but haven’t used the Mavo S35 though. The dual ISO is a great tool but I don’t think this is something that can be “tweaked” via software, maybe I’m wrong…[Read more]

I have seen your post in the Facebook group. Honestly no idea why you are so hooked up on sensor size, it has no impact whatsoever on image quality (or anything else for that matter). The crop factor is around 1.8 without the KineEnhancer and around 1.3 with the KineEnhancer. Take a look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkzquChpm-8…[Read more]

Hi Raafi! Nice seeing you around, you must have been extremely busy lately! Yes, very happy with the camera so far just waiting for things at work to slow down (business trips) so I can relax with my favorite hobby. By the way, I have been googling around to see if I can find info on your Mavo LF short film but it seems like you have not publish…[Read more]
