UPDATE In the video I made a mistake and said I preferred and use the 0.64x over the 0.71x. In fact it is the other way around. Sorry!
Metabones T Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x - Canon EF to M43

NOT the 0.64x like I say in the video. Confusion on my end resulted in the mistake. Sorry! I don't want anyone to get the wrong one. Yes the 0.71x is the one I use in most of the shots in this video and it works great but it does vignette slightly with some APSC lenses. Still it works. The 0.64x will ONLY work with full frame lenses.

Hi Tom,

Huge thanks for the video! These fixes are an immense help. Just invested in the BMPCC 4K after binging on _hours_ of youtube videos and sorting out 4K v. 6K v. 6K Pro. I'm a dinosaur from the Canon EOS 5D MK2 and MK4 era.. this is my first venture into a dedicated cine camera. Truly looking forward to the learning experience - this pushes me out farther on the learning curve.

Many thanks.

Cheers, mate!

I watched so many reviews of this cam, but yours was really dynamic and instructive, very pleasant to watch though I don't have this cam

[RodieOsc]

Tom, ur an EXCELLENT artist, and the delivery in ur vids is second to none, i rarely ever do this, but i shall be slipping a few quid to ur patreon account.

[johnlemon]

Do a short film with the camera please!

[Forier]

This video was absolutely amazing but it was worth the wait till the end to hear you tell everyone to get a photography camera for photos instead of using this for photos. Finally someone said it. Well made and thank you for your work!

Blackmagic PAKET cinema camera :) I love you Tom <3

[christianstelzl]

Loving the last tip with the fotocamera! Haha how can anyone complain that, with a little bit of thinking about that. Again appreciate for your recommendations. Like them a lot.

This is a weird and self centered comment but I had a strange sensation when the video showed that small town. I immediately knew it was Jim Thorpe, PA. even though I've only been there once and that was about 12 years ago. Nevertheless, I had zero doubt it was that town. I googled Hotel Switzerland (which I don't recall seeing when I was there) and that confirmed it. Memories are strange things.
That's all; sorry for the diversion. Oh and great video. Thanks.

Hi Tom, I think this is one of you best ever videos. Short and to the point. The monitor section is very useful for me. Thanks. BobUK.

[northcuttmusic]

You make the best videography videos IMO. Very detailed, ways to save money, and honest- amongst many other great qualities. Thank you

[tommyowen]

I’ve seen 100 videos today and this was by far the most helpful. Much appreciated.

[Eastbirds_Lee]

Thanks Mr. Antos! :D what i really appreciate in your videos and productions is that you both deal with low end and high end equipment equally and you always manage to find the best affordable solutions for your fans and viewers, keeping in mind all it’s shortcomings and benefits.

Tom, you've basically hit the nail on the head; the take out is to adapt. Nothing is ever perfect, so make the most of the strengths and work around the weaknesses. And in this case, the strengths far outweigh the weaknesses.
