It’s come to my attention that the issue with my specific smallRig cage for the a7siii may be exclusive to only that half-cage. The adapter does in fact work with some tilta cages for Sony bodies. 🦾

[victormultanen]

I appreciate the most FX 6 internal nd conclusion in the end of the review.

[VulcanworxSG]

Thanks for sharing! We got the POCO too and are disappointed it doesn’t fit our R5C and A7S3 cages too.

Fortunately Meike has got a new PL to RF adapter now and the original filters fit :)

[AndresGarcia-lvym]

Thank you for an honest review. Everyone else just praises the product and promotes which scared me a little bit. Your honest review allows me to make a better, more informed decision

[isaacbedford]

for the one tray setup, were both the circular and linear polarizers from Revar Cine. Robert Machado's video did not seem to display as much color shift.

[cogmission]

Heads Up. Mofage is releasing new IR and other filters tomorrow (Jan. 24th, 2024). Nice video as always, thanks Justin!

[crisparthouse]

Thank god there’s folks like you testing the shit of out gear stuuuff. Keep it up! Cheers from Dubai

[FelixCervantes]

Some vendors are horrible as far as lens support. Kondor Blue is another example, I asked them and they bought the cheapest PL adapter and based their design on it. Fortunately you can use washers to get to the proper height. Only Small Rig gets it right, they have slots in the bracket to adjust for different heights.

How does the Clear Filter and the Vari ND affect the sharpness of the footage? As I understand the clear filter is a Lenselement, right? How does it affect the image?

[chickenpasta]

i don't understand how they messed up with the cage this bad. this could easily been mitigated by having the filter go thru the top or right side

[unicornone]

it works fine with the Kondor Blue Cage & you can swap out the support foot for different size ones. This isn't a new concept kid.

[symbiohse]

Thanks for reviewing the Poco. Do you find that there is no light spill with the Kippertie? In other words do you black shade with the Kippertie on the Komodo? Many thanks

[rubenrodriguez]

Great video.... thanks again for the content.

[joedoe]

these ND filters give you color shift all the way

[justinwyatt]

Bruh what’s with everyone being named “Justin” a lot of people that are name the same I’ve noticed are in creative fields.

[biharits]

actually, the only tool you'll need to fix is curves

[mofage-official]

We have question about this video. we are unsure if the tested lenses have the same focal length and iris. Did even use the same lens? We reserve our opinion on this. We have started to arrange a comprehensive test and will send the test data to everyone.

Also, thanks for correcting the question about the cage.It depends on the design of the cage. Some cages do not work, but there are still some cages that fit well.We are currently using A7s3 and Komodo and the cage works fine.

[paulg]

thank god I saw this Video before buying, as I have a foldable cage but a cage nonetheless and I don't want to be taking it off every time to put the filter in. Bit of a serious oversight and SUCH a shame as I love the concept of this system compared to having the ND on the end of the Lens. Nevermind, maybe v2 will fix this issue for people with permanent cages. Great Video and I enjoy your humour and delivery so have subscribed.

Man invented hacksaws and files and black spray paint for any cage that doesn't work properly

[cubul]

Kondor Blue is another of those lego style cages. FYI because it was a nice surprize.
