Yo! The red body is sick! I’ve seen those online but psyched to know they’re in circulation 🙂

Hi Justin – thanks for turning this frustration into such quality humor. I have yet to use one  of these, so nothing to report that might help you. I know a sound person used Tentacle Sync on a project I worked on that shot with a Kine camera… but I can’t remember which camera, whether it was my own shoot or someone else’s… basically I’m…[Read more]

Good to know! I had a couple of their accessories and ordered one from NiceyRig on Amazon.

raafi replied to the topic Question for issues with lenses (Sigma 18-35) in the forum Kinefinity™ General 2 years, 8 months ago
It must be a problem with the Terra or firmware if it’s burning out more than one brand of lenses. I’ve heard people mention this before on the Facebook forum and thought it was just me when my Canon L 24-40 stopped being able to adjust aperture. In my case I don’t think it’s completely cooked because sometimes the aperture will randomly work…[Read more]

this isn’t a javascript site so I don’t know how your question is relevant to Kinefinity – can you elaborate?

raafi replied to the topic Who else is excited for the Mavo Edge?! in the forum Kinefinity™ General 2 years, 9 months ago
Hi @garenmirzaian – I’m pretty sure downsizing 8k to 4k gives you the advantage of greater bit depth. I’m sorry but I can’t find an article to reference but the idea is that 2 pixels will be combined into 1 pixel in your downscaled image. This means that there will most likely be a slight gradation in color or brightness between them that will be…[Read more]

raafi replied to the topic KineBACK Lite weight in the forum Announcement/Updates 2 years, 9 months ago
hmm, not seeing it listed anywhere either. I don’t know anyone who has one. A year ago I bought a third-party lightweight back module for v-mount from RigLand. It’s not available anymore but the weight of that is 210g. They look pretty similar although the RigLand one is hollowed out a little more and probably a little lighter.

raafi replied to the topic Buying from Kinefinity and shipping to the U.S.? in the forum Kinefinity™ General 2 years, 10 months ago
I bought mine from the kinefinity website – can’t remember the shipping time because it was a couple years back and I think they’ve gotten faster since then. But I believe it was a 4-6 week wait once I sent in the full amount. There is a shipping charge when you buy the camera online that’s additional to the price of the item but there aren’t any…[Read more]

Hey Justin, welcome to the forum! [I’m in the middle of upgrading it, btw, and hope to relaunch it before the summer’s out on a different software]
I don’t actually have good responses to your questions about the monitor, but just wanted to say hi. I do agree that it’s convenient to have the monitor signal and power in a single cable. I haven’t…[Read more]

Very excited for the camera as well – pre-ordered it. Not sure what the status of ProRes raw will be. I’ve used regular ProRes in Davinci, but admit it’s not the same amount of flexibility as working with Raw.

raafi replied to the topic Prores 4444 banding in the forum Kinefinity™ General 3 years ago
Hi Courtney – welcome to the forum – two things:
– from what I’ve heard the ProRes does a little better than CDNG in the highlights.
– in a case like the shot you posted, where there’s lots of highlights and not a lot of low end, I’d consider increasing the highlight sensitivity of the camera. It won’t increase the overall dynamic range of the…[Read more]

raafi replied to the topic New owner, howdy! Lens question in the forum Kinefinity™ General 3 years ago
@adarsh – my guess is if a GM lens has a manual aperture then it should work on the passive mount. Most lenses have a focus ring, it’s just about being able to dial exposure. If the lens you’re thinking of that has a manual aperture ring then it should work.

raafi replied to the topic Top handle for Mavo LF in the forum Kinefinity™ General 3 years ago
Hey Catherine, I asked my friend @Segwaymike – who knows everything there is to know about rigging cameras – what handle he uses and he said this:
Now I use a Nitze nato handle and it’s fantastic. It’s my goto handle for easyrig clamping as well to explain its reliability. They’re on amazon but I don’t see it sold Individually. Maybe in their website then.

Hey Lonzo – both of my cameras came with an SSD reader, but it’s good to have another one for travel. I have two of these with me pretty much at all times. Super cheap.
Also, welcome to the forum! I’m in the midst of rebuilding it and will relaunch with a new design in a few weeks so look out for that, too.
Last thing: I shot about a third of…[Read more]

I’ve heard good things about this top handle – it mounts to a Nato rail so you’d need a top plate with one of those as well.

raafi replied to the topic Mavo LF sensor in the forum Kinefinity™ General 3 years, 1 month ago
Hi Catherine, welcome to the forum. I’ve heard some of this speculation, too. As far as I know Kinefinity has never confirmed this – most manufacturers neglect to name which off-the-shelf products they use – but people have been pretty clever about comparing resolutions and frame-rates to make guesses about which cameras use which sensors. I’m not…[Read more]
