Too much grain w/ Letus EX

I am shooting w/ Letus and HVX and the vibrating grain is dense and distracting. What am I missing in setup. I thought the batteries maybe but put a fresh set in and the problem persists.
Camera at 4-5.6 and Lens at 4-5.6.
Shooting 720 24P.
Mid day, Plenty of sun
Slight Zebra appears at 85
Zoomed in to 27.3

Looks like someone is waving a bug net in front of the camera.

I suspect that I am missing something simple and obvious (though not yet to me).

Open up the camera a bit?

I am scratching my head . . .

5.6 you start seeing GG grain on Vibrating Adapters.

Also, If you're shooting at 4-5.6 You probably won't be able to go higher than 1/60 shutter.

180.0d, ND filters, Camera Iris, and Keeping the Lens Iris at 5.6 and below are friends.

This is the trade-off of better light efficiency versus the ability to stop down further, grain, etc.
 
if you don't have an hd monitor on set keep the slr lens to a max of f4.

Depending on subject you can get away above an f4 but that's depending on what you are filming

On a white backdrop of blue sky the vibrating gg pattern in more obvious.

Again, ND's and Polas should be used to keep the lens where it woks best wit the adapter.
 
Yes, I get the "wobbly" image badly when shooting above 1/120th shutter :( sometimes can turn vibration off and get away without grain - pending lighting.
