A HUGE DIFFERENCE....

[Ryan Humiston]

Keep in mind this is coming from someone who simply makes Youtube videos and I'm learning as I go but I have a Ranger w/ a Monstro and just got the V-Raptor and Holy Hell...

I'm someone who won't leave a bad review even if I saw you in the back t-bagging my soup so you really have to wow me for me to get off my ass and leave a good one but this camera is amazing and for me, there are a few major differences.

Shadows:
I've watched all the live streams and looked at the minor chart improvement they highlighted when they announced it but in practice, it seems like it's a major improvement. The shadows have this very clean ombre to them.

Color:
Probably one of my favorite improvements, right out of the camera they are so much more punchy without looking oversaturated.

Red Control:
I'm a one-man band so not having to get off my ass and try to set focus based on the grey overlay and then sitting back down to realize I manually set focus incorrectly for the 10th time. Just tap on my face with the control app and start filming saved me hours..

Internal Audio:
I'm coming from a mix pre iii setup and this sounds just as good (Kondor Blue 11" 5-Pin Lemo to XLR Audio Cable for ARRI ALEXA Mini & Z Cam Flagship) works perfectly.

Most of all their sales team. I message this girl on Instagram and even if she's at the club she responds right away "Yes your camera is on the way... no idea when the top handle is coming out... let me check and see anyone has figured out how to rig the small hd with a komodo control kit...."

Message her if you need anything, amazing. https://www.instagram.com/itsdynah/

Thanks for the review... Have you had any issues with the rolling shutter?? Image distortion when panning?? Would make a good test vs your monstro... just sayin

Huge difference over a Monstro? Audio sounds just as good as a Mix Pre 3? I'm skeptical on both those statements but hey, if that the reality great.
