VEry useful and clear. Thanks so much.
This is a great video to listen to and also learn from thanks guys for sharing
Believe in Jesus Christ, trust in Him for your eternal salvation and repent of your sins!
I keep coming back to this video throughout the years. Still lovely. Warm greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱.
Now I will sell my blackmagic and Sony to buy this ?
I'm all for pretty pictures but your headline is totally misleading because in all 11:44 you don't actually say a word about "how you shoot on expedition" but rather, "oh we did this and that, we saw this & that, we went here & there" etc etc
That is how I shoot on expedition, the point of this video is to bring you along as I create images in the field 🙂
what a video
This video deserves 1mln likes bro
Push the boundaries
This is Awesome! Do you know how much weight, the handle can hold? Our DSMC2 Reds are Heavy
Not sure exactly but so far it’s help up well on the red!
nice guy, Rubicon Gooooooood!!!!!!! 😃 Great
Magical!
Great video! This new DJI Focus Pro is really the secret sauce and worth the investment.
nice stuff man. what was that beast of a truck model?
Hi Benjamin and thanks for the video. Owner of a 6K dragon and in line waiting for the Remus set to be delivered. It would be much appreciated if you could share the desqueeze process you followed in a future video maybe. Thanks!
Sure I’ll do that for you! It is a bit of a rogue process but I was using 1.3 desqueeze on the small RED monitor and then correctly squeezing further to 1.5 in Davinci. A work around would be to film with no desqueeze and use a monitor that can do 1.5x preview, then do it in post.
@@BenjaminHardman thanks for your answer! I think I'll follow the same path using 1.33X for monitoring. I really hate adding cables for signal and power in order to use a monitor that does a 1.5X squeeze. Just want to keep low footprint as you. Did you shoot full 6K for more sensor real estate? Anyway, I was referring about the de-squeeze process in Resolve. It will be much helpful and will save me a lot of time experimenting on how to achieve the correct aspect ratio. I'm not lazy but I'll have to start shooting for a project as soon as the lenses arrive and I won't have the time fiddling around in Resolve. Thanks again!!
When we had ice and snow here in Middle Tennessee which is rare that's what I did get that ice out from under the car around the car. My neighbors really don't know what to do. But I lived in the mountains of California so I have some experience... And I know how to drive in snow and put on chains but probably need a refresher.. neighbors will see me do something crazy and put a sheet on my windows so they won't be so icy in those rare storms.. our cars recovered with the layer of ice.. ... And I think our dry Cool spring Air was a very short one. I'm enjoying your videos..
Group from Tennessee who's going to visit Iceland I think it's September? I would love to go. I have a big interest in the cold places..
I was thinking about if you had blue water when you throw it up in the air and how it fell on the snow on the stormy day
Wonderful how hard you worked for this new joyful work.... People need to hear this. Is hard work
I had a passion in my early twenties someone that was made to drop me a nice camera but then took it from me I don't want to tell the reason why... Passion was always there. Call my sister took black and white pictures with their camera on the 70s.. even with my simple cameras I capture some wonderful pictures in New Mexico... I'm driving to the Southwest. Some photos came out really nice in Tennessee... Whoever your budget is just do it... I always want my art to be from my own work and to be on my walls.. and to share with people... Make a gift to family...
USA now too many Uggla races
Red Dragon with the Remus is a killer combo can't believe you can get those for so cheap now
The seas are dancing
Just STUNNING! What month did you shoot this in? I'm thinking before summer or early summer? Thanks, pHil
This was shot in the early spring season in April 🙏🏼
@@BenjaminHardman Thanks Benjamin!
Awesome content. Thanks! I'm going this August and my tour/boat operator (Oceanwide) says drones are strictly prohibited, even if you get a license. How were you able to fly your drone? Cheers, Phil
Hey Phil, I work as a crew member / guide on the ship which gives me the ability to operate the drone. It’s a bit tricky and I do understand the frustrations!
@@BenjaminHardman Cool. I've been in touch with Arctic WIldlife tours (12pax) and they allow drones at times! I think it's just the larger ships that prohibit completely. Makes sense as you wouldn't want 100 people flying drones!
Great content! Just received my Remus set and was looking to buy ND filter. Which one are you using? Or any recommendations? Thanks!
Stunning! Did you use the amber or blue flare version of the Remus'?
Thanks! These are the blue flare Remus.
Beautifully shot brother!
Thanks dude!!
How would you rate it in a scale of 10 compared to canon r5 let's say being 9?
I think it’s more advanced!
@@BenjaminHardman no way! So it's more accurate than current dual pixel AF (more sticky per se)?
I'm assuming you'd have to program everything into the handle, select the lens profile, then detach it if you dont want to use the side handle?
The data is actually saved directly into the motor, so you can calibrate the lenses and then do the selection via the button on the lidar unit if you don’t want to use the handle!
@@BenjaminHardman that is awesome. Thank you!
@@BenjaminHardman WTF! I need to see this in action. My Red Gemini is fully equipped and the side grip is more a problem for me than a win. At this moment i don't have buy this kit but i want
Will be good to see more footage from Blazar Remus, I ordered 65mm and still waiting the delivery.
Yes!❤️
I’ve been waiting more than one month. They said most likely at the end of April.
Yes! Love it man 🔥
🙌
How to choose from LiDAR priority or Optical priority? LiDAR power has its range limit, I guess.
This is why the AMF mode is so useful, because if the subject leaves the frame then you can jump to infinity or take control temporarily via the wheel.
Inspiring. Met you through Peter McKinnon video and got in love with your minimalist approach. May be see you one day in person. ✌️🤞
YEES DUDE!! 🔥
You mentioned that it can also be a setup to have a mirrorless cam with an AF lens. Does it mean to set the AF lens to manual focus mode and use the DJI Focus pro system? Any experience with this setup? Does it significantly improve the focus quality compared to the AF mode of the AF lens?
That’s correct! You would need to add a focus ring to your lens and select the MF function. I think the effectiveness over normal autofocus on newer mirrorless cameras really depends on how you are using your camera. The LiDAR unit has the ability to focus much better in darker lighting situations as well as offering very accurate subject tracking up to 20m distance once calibrated.
Skin tones are not managed well. It's so magenta. And the optical flares are the same. You should learn how to grade R3D :/
Thanks for your input! We were in extremely cold weather, skin tones in those conditions are generally quite magenta 🥶
This comment is unnecessarily arrogant. Could have been said in a different way.
Hey man. I very recently purchased the Lidar, so now I'm gutted they have just updated it. Do you have experience with the original Lidar and if so how would you compare it? Cheers
I have only used the LiDAR on the Ronin 4D prior to this. I would say the big difference is simply just that this new system works with any configuration of camera setup! Also the AMF is really nice to use.
Well done Ben! Always loved your slower pace filming as well. Refreshing!
Thanks brother!
Does it work in photography modes aswell?
It works independently to the camera so photography would work great! Keep in mind that it would be continuous auto focus so the lens will constantly be adapting to subject distance as you shoot.
@@BenjaminHardman awesome, thanks for the info and great video ✌️
DJI it's Chinese product and it's enough to avoid it.
As much as I share your sentiment, I'm forced to ask what other alternatives are there that can compete? IN the drone space, there are no other options. Monopoly is what DJI has unfortunately
@@cevisuals I know that they are good in drones and it's extremely dangerous story for the whole world - drones play a huge role in Russian-Ukrainian war and China use those technologies in military sector.
While I think we all understand the idea, what other options are there that are similar in capabilities and Even remotely close in cost. Also DJI has proven and shown that they do not supply or provide any of their equipment for military use. If you won't purchase a DJI product because Russia and Ukraine are using them for military purposes, I suggest you also ban buying anything from IBM or Texas instruments because their chip sets are being used by Russians in their drones and missiles.
@@mitchponton China supports Russia and test some of their military technologies (electronic warfare) in Ukraine. I will not believe that there is at least one independent company in China that will reject sharing technologies with government. Sooner or later China will invade their neighbours.
@@mitchponton You raise some good points - I appreciate your perspective - Thanks!!!
Sick!!
Cheers!!
If I lock off the gimble can I use a larger lens? Nothing crazy but like a Samyang 35 - 150mm?
Yes that’s definitely possible!
@Benjamin Hardman Hello, I've learned a lot from watching your videos and I recently purchased my I3. I have a question: Which set of ND filters do you use for the I3? I'm eagerly awaiting your response. Thank you.
Hey there! I have been using filters from Polar Pro for my Dl lenses.
hey bejamin, i realllly passionate to buy your course. could you pls give me a discount? i really appreciate it man ♥
Wonderful... Nothing else to say here. You are creating beautiful art here brother... This landscape is incredible. ANd I absolutely love to see a nature filmmaker using the 4D. I have two questions if I may: 1. what framerate do you shoot your slowmotion in? 2. did you shoot everything with manual focus? And do you use the flex system to get handheld shots with a long lens?
Thanks so much man! This is mostly filmed in 60fps, almost all manual focus though using the thumbwheel with Sigma glass.
Krass Großartige Aufnahmen die Lust auf mehr machen 😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
33 sec., don't worry I've fixed that and replaced the lamp with a modern LED lamp!
Loving your iceland videos, even more since i've been there just recently. Having seen several vehicles for the highlands in person now, i'd love to see a run-down of your and Siggis trucks. Both the gear you bring for the highland trips, as well as the cars themselves, my inner child could have stared at just 4x4s all day long. Cheers!
So beautiful! Great work 👏🏽
