Hi Daniel – I haven’t tried audio straight into the 3.5mm jack yet. Will let you know if I can test that. It’s funny, I have the KineBack, but more than half the time I end up going with dual-system audio and syncing the footage in post. Would probably save time to go into the camera but I’m always trying to have less wires going into the body.

Yes I would say the color rendering is very similar on the two cameras. Not identical, though. You can’t use the Mavo LUT on the Terra footage and get the exact same result. However, the KineNeut4k LUT and the KineNeutM LUT (which is designed for the Mavo series) makes the two cameras match on the timeline. The LF has about a stop more dynamic r…[Read more]

Hi Robert – like Gualbert, I’ve shot on both the Terra 4K and the Mavo LF and can recommend both. The Terra’s super power is the high frame rates and full frame on the LF yields a lovely image. I think concerns about sensor size can be a bit overblown. However, if you’re looking for that shallow “moving photograph” look then the only way to get it…[Read more]

Hi Gualbert, I finally have a bit more time on my hands. The short should be online within a week!

Looking good, Gualbert! You’ll be happy with the LF 🙂

Hi Thisara,

I ordered my Terra directly from their website and payed with PayPal. There’s also Origin Cine in Burbank, CA which should have the cameras now – https://www.sharegrid.com/p/origincine?type=rent

I would try to ring Kinefinity via the number on their website (China hours are almost backwards to US hours) to check on shipping times, or…[Read more]

Hi Kévin, I reached out to Kinefinity about shimming – you can order shims that match the lens mount you choose. For instance, you can request PL mount shims for that mount, and install them. I have yet to do this but they are sending me a shin for my PL mount now.

The Kinefinity E Mount is much less robust than their EF Mount KineHancer (speed booster) so I’d say it’s definitely the way to go if you can afford it.

I’m here! Just copied the QuickTime file of the Mavo LF film to the computer at the Kinefinity booth 🙂

I’ve shot in 4K mode a number of times on the LF but haven’t tried the 3k downsample yet. 4K looks great. I haven’t shot anamorphic yet either.

So far so good on KineOS 6.2. Three days of shooting with it last week and one over the weekend. Love that the side-panel has information now, and smooth use overall on both my Terra and LF.

I’ve got two days of shooting scheduled for this week. Have upgraded to 6.2. Will report back soon.

Hi @Tommaso – I haven’t noticed any moiré – don’t have a 6k monitor but on my iMac the image looks perfectly clean. And, yes, I’ve shot in both 6k native and 4k oversampled.

The PL and EF mounts are both full frame and I’ve used both PL glass and a Canon L lens I have on it.

I can’t remember what post I said it in but yes I’m using 3rd party…[Read more]

Thanks for checking in @gualbert – Enjoying the LF so far for sure. Anxious to be able to share some footage soon. We’re still deep in the edit but feeling good about the images and story. I even shot one scene tw0-cameras with the Terra.

@toivoc – I didn’t realize you had the Veydra on the Mavo in this pic. Have you shot anything with it yet?

Hi @jonathan – welcome. The Terra can be used for run-and-gun and doc stuff. Here’s the teaser for a piece I shot with it back in the spring. (shot more over the summer and haven’t cut the final piece yet).

It’s not as well setup for documentary stuff as, say, a Canon camera: it’s a box with a lens mount so you have…[Read more]

Hi @Craig have you tried restarting the camera with the USB stick still in? I’ve sometimes only been able to load in LUTs if the stick is already mounted when I turn the camera on.

Hi @gualbert I can open them in resolve but since I don’t have the Studio version I can’t export them in full resolution. Looking for an app that can. Or maybe I’ll just buy the full version of Resolve

Hi @George – for whatever reason Premiere can’t import them. Must be the metadata or something. One of the third party softwares that I used pulled in the file but it was striped in different colors almost like it had a transition effect over the image. I may have to take it to a friend’s Resolve machine.
