How's the bulb replacement like, easy to find? One of the reviews I read it's impossible to get the bulbs. Thanks for the review.

@FelipeAlmeida_media 9 дней назад
Thanks for checking out the video. these are not bulbs, these are LED lights and it’s not something you’re going to be able to open. But in the time that I’ve had these lights I’ve never had any issues with any of the LEDs burning out. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the video, I am wondering if the NISI True color VND will work with this, I imagine the first 2-5stops filter will but what if I need to add the 5-9 stop filter that just pops on the from of the 2-5 stop filter? It does not screw on but is just using suction to stay on the top filter? I hope that makes sense but has anybody used a NISI True color Filter system with this matte box? Thanks
@FelipeAlmeida_media
@FelipeAlmeida_media 14 дней назад
I don’t see why it wouldn’t. As long as it fits depending on the diameter of the filter you should have space.

It will all depend on the dimensions of the ND filter. The space inside the box is limited.

Dude I’m pretty sure you got to put on your VND filter first like you put your 82 mm into the 95mm step up ring Because it has the 82mm thread inside then put it through the matte box , that’s why your 82’s aren’t fitting , I just saw someone else’s video explaining it , and you did it the opposite
@FelipeAlmeida_media
@FelipeAlmeida_media 5 месяцев назад
Thanks for checking out the video. The circumference of that particular ND filter I have was too large, I have another 82 VND from another company that fits no problem now. Which is the reason I pointed that out in the video. People have commented the same thing and I’ve said that to everybody also.

@@FelipeAlmeida_media I know but did you try to screw that 82mm that you thought didn’t fit onto the 95mm step up it has a 82mm thread inside , then put it through the matte box .. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gDz_C0aurAc.htmlsi=SBsVxAa76VYIep7Z (this guys video does it this way ) I’m not saying I don’t believe you , just making sure you exausted all attempts , because you say in the video only the circular ones will work , but I’ve got confirmed 3 different people using the 82mm nisi variable nd that is bigger then the circular ones because of the knobs in it , but have been told the k&.f plus circular won’t work , cheers
@FelipeAlmeida_media
@FelipeAlmeida_media 5 месяцев назад
@Tonellacam yep I tried every way possible lol, and I watched similar videos also to see if I was doing something wrong lol if you notice his ND filter is smaller then the step up ring, were my ND filter circumference is larger then the step up ring itself by a fraction of a hair lol 😭. At the time I ended up purchasing another Tiffin (77mm) ND to fit cause I wanted to keep the same color, but now I have a K&F 82 no problem. It sucked and I was frustrated but all good now.

Sir, nice explanation and it helped because I didn't know the microphone differences into the iphone. Since using iphones is using external Rode lavalier and as seen into the video presentation is it easy going by visible on the beginning of the video shoot "headphone." What I didn't know was: how to level the sound louder. You have explained this, I try it on the older Filmic version 6.7 that I use but honesty, it doesn't help much. The audio bar is on the the bottom, I would have the audio sound bar as you on the right side of the screen, how to do that? I think when the audio bar is on the right side is the DB more visible which is not when the audio bar is on the bottom. Also, I am somehow an noob in this, I read light audio processing, the sound was better then. How to do that? Reminder: audio bar on the right sight which will help me to set up the sound volume higher and the processing to get better sound. To end, I use the discontinued freefly movi cinema robot which is embedded into the Filmic version 6.7. The new version I am not sure but the issue today with Filmic is the monthly or year payments. I am owner of the Filmic app since 2013, so long as possible I am tray to stay with the older version. Look forward, Luc from Belgium
@FelipeAlmeida_media
@FelipeAlmeida_media 5 месяцев назад
Thanks for checking out the video!! So a couple of different things to think about. First if the audio is low and you have increase on the app to the max, then your Lavalier mic needs to send more power to the phone. If you don’t have an external power lav mic (like a RODEGO wireless) then that’s your issue probably. Filmic pro last time I checked does not power your lav mic, it’s has to be powered outside of the phone. Unfortunately the Filmic pro company has been closed and they are not going to be doing anymore updates and no more support. I would recommend trying an app like Blackmagic camera app. It’s has all the same tools plus other stuff and it’s free. Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks
