THE M8 (008) Discussion thread

[Nik Harper]

Yeah the Side Handle is Great, very quick to remove the Side cover with only
one Screw, and then with no screws, but a turn will the grip is in!!

That simple, look forward to get also our Bottom Grip ;)

perfect, i was wondering how fast that would actually be. The bottom grip will be amazing when it comes out. Did you guys get anything amazing today?

Also, maybe jim or jarred could answer this, are all of the cameras going to be shipping with a case like that? my guess is no but, just wondering.

[Steve Gibby]

Thanks again for all the kind words on this thread for our crew! We had another super-mobile day pushing M8 to the limits. The camera performed flawlessly.

We're now checking out the day's still photos, BTS video, and M8 footage. Its going to take a while - but its great to check through this stuff!

[Joseph Hutson]

Thanks for sharing these exciting moments with us. I'm amazed at how small this powerful camera is, remember the DALSA Origin? That 4K camera was HUGE and the EPIC is 5K with full resolution high speed.

Remember the Alexa? Ok. Sorry. I should play nice.

To continue the thread on an upbeat, the bomb is truly "the bomb". I've been wanting to get a peep through it and while we were out this morning, I got to. So crystal clear and sharp. Wow. What you see is what you get...

[Nik Harper]

Yeah, but this is about EPIC, I guess. We can keep it that way.

Agreed, and it still is. How's the BTS video coming or are you waiting to mess with it?

[AnthonyFlores]

Thanks again Joseph. Also, I'm sure this is in the works but would love to get some shots of Steve shooting in action. I would just love to get a sense of what he means when he says "mobile" and how he holds/handles the camera.

Thanks again, really looking forward to this next wave of pics and clips :)

I would just love to get a sense of what he means when he says "mobile" and how he holds/handles the camera.

I was wondering if Steve would go with the lighter Canon lenses or opt for PL's. I would love to hear from Steve about the switch and how he feels it will affect him when working alone. Canon ( or nikon) lenses,especially when zooms will do the job, are much lighter. Steve and Ketch know there lenses. Thoughts please.

[Mark Andersen]

I'm not Steve, but we were using:

Miller Arrow 55 Head
Miller Solo CF Legs

I work in a very similar way when traveling light. Gitzo CF spreader-less stix and sachtler video 14 head. Love it, very smooth and very light.

[KETCH ROSSi]

Thanks for kind words guys, much appreciated ;)

I can definitely say that Steve is the True Mobile shooter, and He does prefer a light set
up, and Still lenses, but I will let him jump in and tell you al about it.

Red Canon mount coming soon, and we will definitely get it, as we both have a large
collection of "L" series Canon Glass, Steve also has some of the best Nikon Glass out
there, so He will be getting also the Red Nikon mount for sure.

For Photography work I will take great pleasure on using Canon glass, however I will not personally
use it for Motion Capture, at list not for most of the work I do, for my Cine Style I have a full line of
RED PRO Glass, with the RPP set recently Serviced by Duclos, and Focus Markings added, lenses
are incredibly Sharp and Projector Calibrated, simply beautiful.

Also the recent addition of a Master Prime Set will work very well on our Epic cameras, for Zooms currently
using the RED PRO ZOOMS 17-50, FANTASTIC AND LIGHT WEIGHT, and the 18-85, FANTASTIC but a little
on the heavy side for any hand held work, but a beauty on Sticks, and a perfect Focal range.

Currently looking at adding SFew Angeneux or Optimo Zooms.

Ketch, Steve, have you tested the HDRx? Would love to see some, even if it's just frame grabs.

[KETCH ROSSi]

Ketch, Steve, have you tested the HDRx™™? Would love to see some, even if it's just frame grabs.

Not yet, tomorrow could present the perfect settings ;)
