Do you have a specific lens in mind?

I have tried my 35mm f/2 w/ viltrox speed booster which is a bit heavier and also works. However, must be balanced more precisely or it will cause more bounce when walking.

These prime lens are really small but when attached to a speed booster or dummy adapter, they behave more like regular mid sized lens. Anything bigger will most likely have issues such has the  85mm usm f/1.8. (have not tested personally)


I will be doing a review of the feiyutech g6 max soon. It is a bit bigger in size but also quite small still. I was able to balance my massive 24-105mm f/4 IS II lens. Unusable though due to its extreme length.

Thanks!

Some extended gimbal clips. All shot on the eos m at 5k, enjoy! Test footage starts at 4:30

Would it be possible to obtain a flip screen with some kind of extended ribbon cable and 3d printed housing for the lcd? Or maybe taking the lcd from a the m3? 

Very cool, just wish it was longer!

Excellent journey my friend!

very nice! love the colors and feels very organic

Dude I dig the colors in op. It's fantastic! I mean seriously you got me watching this twice.

Now I'm thinking of getting the Crane M2 to mate w the M's that we have.

Damn thanks for sharing @ngemu!

Hi Jedi!

There are a lot of cons to the m2 gimbal (such as the quick release plate and max payload) but at the end of the day, I am able to get relatively steady footage and I value its compact size more than anything else. Having such a small gimbal makes filming less of a chore. I highly recommend it if you use the right small lens setup. 

Not in movie crop mode. Not working the same as x5 zoom. A few attempts been made to achieve full liveview resolution in real time. All have failed.
You can use real time but it will be cropped in x5 zoom(disable preview auto stuff in raw video section.

Hi Danne. In 5k mode, the live preview is squeeze in so everything appears very skinny and tall. Is there anyway to unsqueeze this image? I dont mind if the live preview is cropped. Thanks!

Thank you all. I made another video testing the crane m2. Super bright day so not so happy with the footage but man.. the eos m is a beast.

This is the video that eoshd recommends. It feels very cinematic to me.

I only have an eos m so can't really say but from what i've seen, both cameras can produce terrible and amazing footage

the colors are so nice, amazing work! What lens are you using?

Love the image stabilization system on canon lens. Very impressive at 85mm.

From what I've seen and experienced, tamron and sigma are too jerky.

Lens used? Love the grain

Is there anyway to unsqueeze the liveview on 5k mode? I dont mind if the liveview is cropped, its just mighty difficult to film in liveview when the image is distorted.

Hey ngemu, saw the sample snapshots. Just remember this camera isn't a RED Camera with high stops of dynamic range. It has around 11.2 stops but it still is pretty good. Clipping is not a bad thing if you do it right, big movies clip highlights so don't be too hard on yourself. Sometimes you need to make a sacrifice to expose the subject or your background, in this case, you chose the subject. I use zebras [100%] to ensure the subject isn't clipping anywhere but I myself am still practicing. A CPL Filter will help! Nice Video by the way, keep it up! 

ZEEK!

Nice colors in 02m43s. Too much contrast (maybe some highlight compression/rolloff), but it's great. Are you using wide gamut on mlvapp?
Nice shots @ngemu!

One of the most beautiful videos I have seen on this forum. You really got the colours right. So colourful, but not over saturated. No teal/orange or any kind of "film look" mush, just good colours. And smooth highlights 99% of the time. Very very well done.

I agree with luther about 2:43,, a little too much contrast on that one, also the plants at 1:21 are really clipped.

What tonemapping settings did you use in mlv app mostly?

Edit: all of your eos m videos are great

Thank you Luther and Ilia3101

To be honest, I'm not really sure what I'm doing. When I'm filming, I try to over expose as much as I can. In MLV app, I simply drop the gamma value (default 3.15) down to 2. Then I add some vibrance / contrast. I find the picture comes cleaner than working with underexpose footage. Only problem is I clip a a lot. Please correct me if im wrong, everything is still a work in progress for me.

Here are some screenshots of the process.

Tone mapping is set to the default rec709. I've tried zeeks method of using BDMflm but looks weird on my shots.

^ I agree. My favorite shots were the Gondola and the drill scene. So magical

Eos m! Some handheld footage i got this past Sunday. Working hard on exposing and focusing correctly.. still a lot to learn with this tiny camera.

Cant believe how cinematic the footage looks.

Can you share some details on how you expose while filming? This was shot on the 5d mark 3? Very amazing work!

Love the colors, you did an amazing job!

Hope you continuing shooting more videos

Wow.. loved every single shot!! Do you have any more videos to share using the MKIII?

How did you pan the camera so smoothly?
