Great in-depth tutorials, I hope there's more to come! I can't seem to figure out how to connect the focus distance from the kOS to the focus distance parameter in the URE though. Is this something you actually wouldn't connect as it's pretty close anyway, or could you perhaps share your way to do it (as I saw FIZ motor used for focus in another video of yours). Sadly I can't find any documentation from Kessler on the URE topic yet. And ofc many thanks for making these :)
That is something I need to tackle. There are curves that have to be built to map our the ranges. I'm not exactly clear on it but I'm willing to try and sort ot out. As of now for all the work I've done there has been a lot of focus pulls but usually macro so the camera blows it out good enough. Give me some time to dig on it.
@@BiolapseStudios Yeah I thought so after slowing down and dissecting your vids, but still wanted confirmation :D as I’m also doing macro/product it shouldn’t be a problem for me either. Thanks for your time!
@@BiolapseStudios oh awesome! I already have a SS and SS+ and kOS Premium, so just adding a single controller would be a lot more affordable than an entire Cineshooter setup. Thanks!
@natelett for sure. Hey also, there is something really awesome happening at Kessler. They have started to retrofit Cinedrive systems with the cineshooter+. I have one, they are still working out some bugs but it is amazing. I have seen a cinedrive pantilt sitting at adorama for 800 bucks. These used to sell new for 15k. The hardware is excellent. It is missing the brains, but they are not needed. For $1400 they will retrofit it to run with the new 5x control module, this is literally the brains of a cineshooter. So about $700 less than a cineshooter plus you can get a cinedrive pan tilt that does the exact same stuff, but with incredible high quality mechanics.
@@BiolapseStudios oh that is fantastic! We have a 6 axis CineDrive setup at my day job, I'll definitely reach out to Kessler and ask about that! I was hoping they'd have a program like that.
The axibo is a great system for the price, but it's not quite as polished as the cineshooter. There is a lot to like about axibo, don't get me wrong. If you can budget for the cineshooter though it is a better system in a lot of ways.
Do you use OLED Screens for your backgrounds ? Can’t decide between Mini-LED because of its max brightness and OLED for its black levels. Can OLED Screens compete with the studio lights in terms of brightness? Also, if you do use OLED, don’t you get burn in when filming for weeks at a time? Love your content :)
I use the cheapest screens I can find.i think they are just LED. Zero burn in and generally they see very little movement whole being powered for weeks or months
Can you explain your DIY slider in more detail? I have an ST4,3, additional motor, and 80/20 so I'm trying to figure out when I need to add to motorize the 'track'. A linear bearing + ? Is there a racking, or how is it actually driven?
quite long wish list :) i agree with all. but heavy duty sliders are used on film sets. prices are 10k+++ so im not sure how many people can really afford it. im sure everyone would like it, just not to pay for it :) i think all the mid/higher range motion control stuff have to be made by the user him self. next level up its a film grade grear. i guess the competition is getting bigger so the prices are going down a bit. but still its like 10x -100x more, also by weight :)
I think my idea of heavy duty may be a bit different. ;) I guess what I meant is something solid. Lots of sliders these days are carbon fiber rod stuff that flexes and bends and wobbles. For a budget, the cineslider is excellent and very well made :)
Ordered a PT-4 weeks ago. Emailed you and sent messages on Discord to get a ship date. No response. Thinking of canceling the order with my credit card and ordering this.
So good, thanks for making this! Was just looking at the Axibo again, as I remember it being the only one with direct UE communication, but this changes quite a lot. Would just the Power Blok, a TV screen, and a static camera work for some basic turntable virtual production stuff right? How to connect the Power Blok to PC & power actually?
