@ntouched here’s an easier solution than 3d printing – just found this on the same bmcuser thread where I learned how to print rings myself. A company that makes the rings from high-quality materials at a much cheaper price than Duclos – https://www.cordvision.com/product/lens-gear-easy-install/

@ntouched – I used to have a set of Leica R primes. I ordered the Leitax mounts and had them installed professionally, then bought the step-up rings myself and 3-d printed focus rings. Decent-sized savings over the CineMod.

@Craig – I’m pretty sure most riser plates raise the camera to a specific height above the rails. That way matte boxes can fit different cameras/brands. Here’s an illustration of the three standards in use: https://www.genustech.tv/blogs/news/16735960-camera-rod-standards-explained-and-illustrated

That sucks. Yeah it’d be nice if they worked together. In the long run it’s probably better not to use multiple adapters just because it probably weakens the connection and has the potential to throw off infinity focus. But… it’d be nice to just have it working as a stopgap, too.

Great test!

I tested the Panavision Superama, which is an old 16mm projector lens from the 1960s, on my Terra in the period when I was working on my review. Ultimately I didn’t use any of the footage because I only grabbed a few shots with it. It was just a bit fiddly to set up and I was on a client…[Read more]

Thanks for the advice – I haven’t heard as much about Rhino since it was announced. Glad to know it works well.

I don’t know if there’s a shop but Gualbert might know someone in Hong Kong with a Terra…

Yeah the hole fits a 15mm rod. I use the Zacuto Axis Mini for my EVF via the hole in the handgrip

Looks like you did the right thing by emailing them. In the Terra manual it says, “Definition of CTRL port is also available if you want to tailor your accessory, send us an email to apply.” Hope they get back to you soon.

I saw that too and couldn’t figure it out. Have. you sent them a direct email?

Not having shot with either it’s tough to say what the advantages of sensitivity or image cleanliness might be. But there are some structural factors built into the camera bodies that we can compare without footage.

Both are pretty compact, lightweight camera bodies. And if you get one of the lens mounts with electronic ND from Kinefinity, then…[Read more]

All good re: posting so many threads. It’s good to have some activity here!

The Terra 6k was cancelled in favor of the Mavo 6k. The T6k has a great image but suffers from a pretty dramatic rolling shutter ~29ms. The Mavo rolling shutter is supposed to be better by roughly half. Not sure if you’ve seen my T4k review but there’s a scene when I’m…[Read more]

As Casey Neistat says, Customize Everything. In that spirit, here’s a custom side grip that someone on the Facebook group did. Anything is possible, ha.

Hi Dave – it shouldn’t be easy. Cameras are expensive! I always joke that the Eva1 is everybody’s second-favorite camera but nobody’s first. That’s probably what’s making the decision so tough.
