Thank you. Nice video, but your argument doesn't really make sense as a general case. Yes, it proved that for you with this specific 1080p recorder there was no benefit. I will dig out my recorder and see if this is true for me as well. I'll post a link if I find anything relevant.
A bit late to the party, but the Pocket 1st gen is iso invariant, the gain is applied digitally AFTER the ADC... Thus there is no change in the dynamic range distribution as you change iso... Look up Tom Marjeski's comment on the Blackmagic forums for a clearer explainer... But if you had fixed the exposure and set the brightest part of your scene to just about clip, and then lowered the iso, you should find that it still clips, just being grey rather than white... The information would still be lost however... Hope this helps...
@@carlscinema7086 0:40 - 0:55... You changed the shutter to compensate for the iso change, thus it is not a like-for-like comparison... You're changing the signal-to-noise ratio thus, as you said, the lower iso's will give a cleaner image... This is not due to the iso change, but rather, a change in the produced signal-to-noise ratio as a result of the shutter change, NOT the iso change... Do the test again but ONLY change the iso, get the highlights to just about clip at the highest ISO, then drop the iso WITHOUT changing anything else... You'll find that you have no additional highlight detail as the analog voltage gain of the sensor is not changing... It is well documented that the physical BMPCC sensor is iso-invariant... Whist you approach may be somewhat relevant in practical use cases, the conclusion reached is demonstrably false...
What you are arguing doesnt contradict the video at all. I suggest you rewatch it. Changing the ISO doesn't change the signal, but using a different ISO may get you to expose differently, which in turn will change the signal, essentially over or underexposing the sensor. But simply changing the ISO setting does not affect the dynamic range.
@@carlscinema7086 the way the video is presented suggests that different iso’s produce different images, but as long as you understand that changing the iso has no material effect, that is fine…
If you shoot linear in camera you will be limited to just that one fov, which is the equivalent to medium. By doing it in post you can use more of the sensor and get a wider fov, if thats something you want. Compare the fov of the 4:3 lens corrected image at the end of this video to the linear in the video I'll link here, they are shot from the same distance. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gvaacHGCsKk.htmlsi=zPI3kuVgZumeKPHp&t=142 at 2:22
Bougt it when it came out, in 2024 I still use it, as a filmmaker with a small Feiyu gimbal and nd filters, it still delivers great image when you know how to set it right and using it in the right conditions...On the other hand, I might upgrade it to a 12, I hope it is a gap...
Just bought one for 55 USD, waiting for the delivery while watching videos. Yours were the ones that sold me on 5 black version. Thanks for saving me some cash.
Oh man, I only own the BMMCC but seeing this video I wish I went for the 4k (yes I seem to be the only person here). Much more details, less DoF and at least in this video better colours. I already noticed that the footage coming from my BMMCC is harder to colour correct then raw material from other cams.
I think its so funny that nobody is forcing canelo to fight benavides tho!! sup with that? But every black fighter they make fight their mandatories. Benavides was canelos mando for years and nobody forced canelo to fight him or strip him.
I picked one up about a month ago for $50 to use trail riding in the truck. For my needs, it's fantastic! I see them regularly going for $90-$125 on marketplace. *You CAN remove the front lens. Pull very hard on the lens and turn it to the left ( if you're looking the camera head-on ) It is kind of hard to do, but a few pulls and turns should do the trick. There are replacement lenses and filters available on the zon.
i have the Gopro HERO 5 but the upload speed is so bad if u dont do it physicaly by sd card or cable, if you do it in the aplication and, you dont have pro version of the app, its soooooo long like 6 minute video took me like 30 minutes
I got one officially refurbed from GoPro in 2021. Looked perfect and cost me like £100 or so. Using a cheap HDMI to USB converter woked great as a webcam. The image was perfectly good.
I have an unopened Hero 5 and I’m hoping to use it with a helmet chin mount for extended motorcycle trips this summer. Primarily I wanted to read license plates and the road in case there are accidents. I will have an Insta360 for videos. My question is: do you think wide 4:3 is the way to go for me in this case?
So that means, that shooting at ISO 800 in Highlight-heavy scenarios and at 100 or 1250 in shadow-heavy scenarios will give you the best DR? With some play in that numbers of course.
Yes. The total dynamic range stays the same but you are shifting it towards the highlights with higher ISO values (within the same base) and towards shadows with lower ISO values.
@@carlscinema7086 Perfect. However, I just now realized that your video is about the 4k... Silly me with the 6k is now asking himself if what you measured applies for the 6k too :)
In the filmmaking community most people are NOT making films or anything great for that matter, so since they're not really creative people and they can't really focus on quality content they focus on the gear.
These recent videos about Gyroflow is amazing. Looking forward to the next one as I'm currently trying to figure out the best POV settings for my needs.. I'm doing photo walks in the woods / hiking etc and also using the 5 BE. Also using the chest mount but I just feel the footage is too shaky. What settings do you recommend in the GoPro to get the best result in Gyroflow? Thanks, Jimmy
You're welcome! Sounds like you are looking at new prices. I got it used so the price will depend on what kind of deal you can find. Check out the eBay or MPB links for example.
Thank u so much for this video! Been looking at camera's and I'e always wanted a go pro. This video is very informative but didn't feel slow to me. Thank u!
Great video, Carl! I recently dug out my old GP Hero 6 from storage and lent it to a friend to use on a 3 month trip to Bali. Played around with it a little beforehand and it's actually pretty good. Surprisingly good. These older action cameras still pack a pretty powerful punch, if you know how to use it within its limitations. Also - Häggvik ftw! 😁 Cheers!
Thats great! They really do still hold up, atleast for most applications. Especially if its for social media etc. And in the right hands an older version will probably beat a new model in more inexperienced hands. Haha good eye :D
@@carlscinema7086 Yes, well put, I completely agree. I mean, they probably don't hold a candle to the OG BMPCC for example in terms of general image quality (DR, etc) but in the right circumstances you really can't beat them. Haha yes, Sollentuna born and raised, although I don't live there anymore. :)
For sure, but then again they don't really compete with each other since they are so different. No auto settings at all on the Pocket for example and if you throw some water on the camera it will stop working haha. But that's to be expected since one is a mini cinema camera and one is a small actioncam.
