also make an SSD that fits into the same ecosystem (connectors)

Needs drop in plates for Shiftcam, Moment and Sandmarc lenses. I swap out four cases, including a Litechaser.

[BandH]

What would you shoot with an iPhone + Tilta's new Khronos Ecosystem?

[jamesphilip]

Sounds like I don't need to buy that expensive cinema camera after all. Thanks, B and H!

The idea looks great… but has quite a few flaws. 1- The cage itself: having to go around screwing the case is no good. There are other better solutions in the market, like smallrig, newer or beastcage. 2- The handle: the handle could be used to solve the major problem of the iPhone: one port only. So, the handle could have a SSD inside and a usb-c and mic jack to connect an external mic. Also, I don’t understand why there’s a cable in there instead of just a simple usb-c plug to connect directly to the phone; 3 - the cooling fan seems cool but it’s connected to close to the lenses, so if you want to attach a traditional VND you can’t; 4- there’s no way to connect a traditional VND. So, it makes it impossible to use it on a run and gun situation; 5- it seems that, because of the weight of all the gear, it not possible to use a smalller gimbal. All consider, why not just use a proper camera? Image would be better in most situations.

Hello thanks for video, But one question: Will it be necessary to change the cage with each new iPhone model? Many thanks from France.

[cweb]

thought that card holder was a that it's not. Finally a grip that's also a battery.

Also do they have a regular filter attachment that lets you use VNDs?

[norcalcarnivores]

The USB-C hub in your video is different than the Khronos Quick Release USB-C Hub. What is the one you are showing?

[CHARLESLYDA]

Interesting, but for people who don’t know what to purchase
for any first time beginners, what are the names of all your accessories
that you are using, so when I go B&H to purchase, I’ll know what to look and ask for.

Can the Nucleus Nano II be used to control zoom in the Blackmagic app? Looking for a way to do slow and smooth controlled zooms. Also what gimbals are recommended with this setup for stabilizing when moving around or panning

[andreaturbolz]

Great to see this great new product. But just one question. Why we must choose, with the handle, to deliver power OR connect an SSD. There is a usb-c port on top of the handle. Why don’t use it to charge the handle and to connect a SSD. If not possible why don’t add a second usb-c on top 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[reimsrep]

Does anybody know if the Khronos system support mounting external lenses (e.g. sandmarc, moment, reeflex, freewell, etc)?

[iPhone-Cinematograhy]

After receiving the Khronos Cooling System from B&H, I conducted an amateur, unscientific cooling test, and the Khronos unit cooled down by 9°C (17°F). I plan to post more tests within my Facebook group.

[manius_dive]

Does the Bluetooth grip work only with Blackmagic or also with system cameras like iPhone or other brands?

[antonius]

I don't see any connectors on the C-hub, must it be connected to the iPhone with a USBC cable?

[antoniusvandermeijde]

Would also like a cage for the iPhone 16

[devin.briggs]

I wonder if the filters are stackable or only 1 at a time...

[antonius]

How can you use the handle and C-hub at the same time if they both have to be connected to the USB-C connection of the phone, or is the cable of the handle long enough to fit into the hub?

[RaceKreme]

here's a question, what gimbal would work well with it? thx

[cweb]

Still not the solution I'm looking for. I'm assuming the battery grip charges the phone right?

No-one wants to attach an SSD with a grip like that.

Give me a battery grip and a magsafe SSD that fits in place of that "wallet" and plugs into the grip. Or replace that fan with an SSD attachment. Done.
