Amazing new redrock product!!!!!

Live View involves getting the codes for the lens protocol. Which means either talking to the manufacturer... or reverse engineering it yourself. So... I think that might be some time before we see that. I dunno though!

Its not that hard, one of the new hocus focus products can electrnicaly control broadcast lenses, its a pretty simple matter of just putting the right voltage over the right pins. Its not too hard....
 
Brian said in the RR forum that it would be unnecessary because the optics are a lot wider. Offset issues should be a thing of the past.
 
I will try to get a copy of the footage I shot back in December from the editor. The reason I started the post was because of how amazed I was with the lack of light loss, so I can easily say that it's the best I've ever had my hands on.

Not that this will help much, but here's a still taken showing the real light setup, and what we were seeing in the monitor...you can see that they are almost exactly the same....

That isn't saying much Luke...

There could be a 4k light on that dude ;)

So please upload some footage and share with us.

Thanks
 
I'll definitely get the footage soon...But we were shooting with 2 iks and 2 650s... The point of this shot is looking at how the light levels are the same in the monitor as they are by eye...I am sure you remember the days of throwing a 2k on the wall and having it look like a flashlight in the monitor...
 
sneaky sneaky, i bet you were sent by redrock during the Blade release to make sure that not everybody bought a blade instead of a m2encore.
 
Ha ha. The evil corporations! Not really. I pleaded to borrow the encore because I had a two camera shoot. Turned out, I couldn't match the two cameras because of how different the light intake was, so it became a one camera shoot anyways!
 
Redrock walks on it's own, to be honest. Nobody asks for SG in Los Angeles. It's always been Redrock, Letus and P+S and honestly, P+S is pretty dead around here.

The Extreme and Ultimate reign in my neck of the woods and when Redrock's new products hit the Press Pages and their already established venues it's going to be asked for all over again... Which is why I'm investing in both an M2 Encore full setup and a Letus Relay system to go with my Ultimate, despite the fact that I do not own an HPX500 or similar.

That's just I!

In the end, they're all really great with trade-offs and differences. Pick your weapon and use it well.
 
Luke:

Have you any comments about the bokeh? Any improvements compared with the old one?

Since al adapters which released that acclaim 1/2 light loss there has been questions about the bokeh. SGpro/Blade with Razor2 has managed a specific one that sells for its look.

How about this new one?
 
True Film Like Bokeh = Soft overall image, slow adapter

Sharp Image = Slight Bokeh trade-off

Pick one.

I think the bokeh with the Encore is definitely improved. I started noticing Bokeh differences between my different lenses, where I never saw the differences previously.
 
So that's more or less it then? Since the adapters are quite few around these days, I think the bokeh should be a big priority...

Let's see some clips and then discuss.

I also don't think there is that tradeoff anymore. The new adapter allows for much more sharpness because you don't have to shoot wide open.
 
Hi everyone

Just to clarify a few things. Skywalker I'm not sure I would call what you were using the m2e - it was a proto we had kicking around for over a year and had some minor optics upgrades. The release m2e is much different, with entirely new guts. So i'd say yours is probably closer to an M2 plus. But nonetheless I know you saw noticeable improvements.

On the x-y adjustments, that is still there as part of the microX Encore accessory, so you do still have that capability if needed. We did increase the horizontal size of the optics quite a bit (roughly 30%) which should minimize the need.

Hope that helps


Brian
 
Brian, when will we see actual footage?

I am not sure it really wouldn't be a very wise thing to do for some to hold off till the Encore's release without footage. There are many people jumping into an SGblade single adapter investment, who you could otherwise share with SG, but only if you had a third party test it real quick.

We need to see it...

um,... I'm not sure whether to say yes or no with so many double negatives!

At any rate, footage is next up.

I wonder if waiting for the Encore instead of getting a Blade now would be something people would regret.


There, clarifikated it for ya. It really wasn't directed at you though. I am looking for the best value and wondering what others in my position are thinking about doing after your announcement.

When will this footage be up Brian? And will it be your footage or 3rd party?
 
I'm sure a combination of both USLatin. We've already had a big response in orders so once it ships Feb 15th I think you'll see plenty of third party (we are working on projects in the interim)
