Hello Shane,

That's great to hear! I've seen the two quick test samples listed at dvinfo. I believe they were shot with the XL1, so it will be good to see some XL2 footage.
 
Will it be good for the H1 is the question? I hope so, there is no soft DV to hide any anomalies within the system. The clip from the XL looks really nice.
Looks like very good machine work too! Can't wait to see more!

The last part of this clip looked very grainy... is this due to compression?
And, is this a flip verson or is the price higher (compared to the regular letus...) because of the modification for direct mounting?

Hello Spartacus,
Check out posts 1 and 5 at dvinfo.net. for the "flip" info.

Quyen mentioned in posts 69 and 71 that the footage was shot in low light, quick grab kind of conditions, so maybe that relates to your other question.

Quyen would be able to give a more definitive answer, so maybe he will post when he reads your post.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Brian,
is there anyone using the letus around here and has some production footage to show? So far everyone seems to favor the M2...
I never realised that no other of the p+s alternatives directly attaches to the XL2!
For me this seemed so obvious!
Is this relay lens that hard to produce, or why don´t the others offer this option?

M2

M2

The M2 footage, from many different SD/HD cameras, looks incredible. The gallery section of the RedRock website is full of great samples. Even the RedRock "Sandbox" test footage looks good. Honestly, if there were a RedRock XL relay version of the M2, I would have placed an order already.

The form factor of the Letus35XL is a great selling point for it. This Letus version seems to be much improved over the earlier version. From reading Quyen's posts, he seems to be very responsive to his customers.

There has been some posts about the Cinemek people creating an XL relay version, but that will likely be a long time in the future, since a production model of their G35 hasn't been released yet.
 
How awesome! I can't wait to see the results. This system has caught my attention, and if it works right I look forward to filming with it!
