Brevis/HV20 - more test footage of flowers, lens flares, telephone poles, etc.

Thanks for the repply, Zak. What program are you using that lets you get a numeral value of black?

[Zak Forsman]

Final Cut Pro 5.1 / Kona 3. when I refer to 'zero', i'm refering to FCP's built-in waveform monitor.

that looked more filmic than most of the stuff i've seen with the HVX and various 35mm adapters.... i wonder if it's the HV20 or the Brevis?? or maybe it's just you
what do you think?

That is THE BEST footage I have seen with this particular setup. A keeper for my collection!

Nice footage, Forsman.

Any high-res stills or video? Very light combo huh? Great for handheld?

[rawfa]

I keep saying the HV20 and the brevis feel like they belong together. It's like they were actually built to go with one another.

[Zak Forsman]

kholi, yes. a more substantial camera would cause fatigue, i'm sure. but this combo is so light, you could shoot handheld all day. no prob. the camera is actually about half the weight of the brevis35, if that. so i find i'm actually cradling the two in one hand, favoring the brevis for support, and pulling focus with the other hand (and wishing I had a third to adjust the LCD's viewing angle as i shoot). I do need an inverted monitor though. shooting upside down is a pain.; I know about the HV20 hack, and managed to break the switch. so flip is now permanently disabled on mine

full res stills...

I would tend to agree. That little combo with the proper rails is really sweet. There is no reason why you can't get VERY filmic results from the HV20 and a Brevis with good still lenses.

Zak, very cool. I can see you're having some fun with your new toy :-)

[Zak Forsman]

dennis, I love it. can't wait to take this sucker out on Heart of Now location scouts this summer -- death valley, salton sea, anza-borrego, joshua tree, etc.
