F55: F55 On My Dining Room Table

Rather than respond piece-meal to posts, I'll take a few days to put something more coherent together.

What's the weight of the axs-r5 and the evf and the battery as well as the lenses?

Its Airy feeling, its light, but its bigger than an Epic, so the weight is similar, but its more spread out. The Epic is denser, and about half its length. So while they feel the same in terms of weight, the F55 has a "lighter" feel. Its balance is good.

I have to wait till after thursday to write about it. And sadly, tom Wong, out colorist, is unavailable to grade the footage. So i will have to figure out how to grade this stuff.

we cant show raw footage yet. :(
 
See now my wife always gets bent out of shape when she comes home to see a camera on her dining room table.

Honey it's a $90K Alexa I just rented for a shoot tomorrow and I'm going through the menu.... Well that's my dining room table and if you don't move that camera you will be dining from the Burger King menu!

Would love to know how loud the fan gets when shooting 4K RAW. If it kicks on automatically, etc.

Early prototypes have fan noise, but we shot a bunch of 4k today with the fan never kicking in. I understand it was part of a firmware update, which is happening a lot in these last few weeks of prerelease.

Actually it weighs several pounds less than the EPIC. The EPIC also generally requires a bunch of accessory items mounted to it in order to function, which is not the case with the F55. This further effects the weight comparison. I was out on the street today shooting with the F55, 4K recorder, large battery, and a compact zoom lens all on a handheld rig, and it was extremely lightweight and comfortable.

All that's on the dining room table currently is a DSLR, 2 lenses and a flash. But there is a tripod in the dining room and a tripod in the living room. But fortunately we eat in the kitchen. So she is rarely too upset about cameras on the table. It is tripping over tripods that gets her going.

Mitch,
can you mount an V Mount to Anton Bauer adapter on the back of the camera/AXS recorder? Is it possible to use Hytron 100s (so the camera is back heavy) or is the weight of the battery too much?

Thanks
 
Timur,
Ship the stuff to me and I'll grade it. Just got new control surface for my Davici suite so iI've been spending more time there! ;-)
I'll be in the city tomorrow. May be able to do it there too, with some pain involved with no real GPU.
