New Canon 24 -105 RF Servo. Is It Worth The Money? 

Yes it really is a great idea.

​@@TwoCameraChapsbe Even better with a arca swiss plate

i think you mean the 'forgotten' sweet design of the removable tripod foot....as canon used to do this, but strangely forgot about it for a long time :)

@@DavidWilliams-wj4sc it’s certainly a welcome return then!

@@jimbo27 trouble is there are too many people not using arca systems to make it worth while I guess.

We try and test the gear in a real world scenario as often as possible . Unboxing videos aren’t really our thing.

Thanks, I hope it clarified your good decision and you like the channel. The new lens is very nice indeed and I can see a lot of users keeping it on their cameras for a high percentage of what they shoot.

Worzel Gummidge cranked up to the max !

No problem, they were two of the things I was curious about after the more obvious performance of the lens optically.

Hi as far as I am aware the red cameras do not have the same electronic communication with this lens. I haven't a red to test it, so I would expect some lens vignetting that would need altering to taste in post.

Yes i have used the PZ-E2B which works well and if you plug in a usb c power supply source the zoom speed it considerably quicker if you need those fast crash zoom ins or super fast reframing options. I didn’t use any Wi-Fi control but believe this is possible with the correct control unit. So the zoom can be controlled remotely for use on say a jib arm for example. Alternately I have used a wireless tilta nano to control either focus or zoom and this works too and is a lot less money.

I have since bought both items.

Thanks for the sub!

Yep the std F4 RF is a great lens, but the servo really makes sense if you shoot video.

Yes unfortunately I was working on the date that we got the lens, annoyingly he did a great job without me

Hope that didn't detract from the content!

Yes still good, a tad warmer in look compared to the recent lenses from `Canon, but they still perform well considering their age.

Hi, I don't test with an R6II, only he R3 and C70, both of which balanced ok. I would say that the much ligher body, hence the set-up would be more front heavy. Certainly counterweights would work and a battery grip would help also.
