Chronos User Discussion / Chronos mounting holes

« on: November 08, 2021, 09:42:03 PM »

So I am slowly learning about the various accessories. Small Rig has some interesting accessories that bolt directly to the 1/4x20 holes like for mounting an external monitor etc. But I cannot seem to figure out what uses the smaller M4x0.7 holes.

What are you using those holes for?

General high-speed discussion / Slow mo audio effects for videos

« on: November 08, 2021, 04:15:52 PM »

I mistakenly posted this question in the Chronos specific section. But this is general for all slow motion. Is there a repository for license free slow motion audio that we can use with our Chronos videos? Like a gun shot or whooshing sounds.

So I shot a similar test with my full spectrum Sony A7S. I was not too concerned about slow motion since I will revist this with the Chronos which arrives tmw assuming no issues with fedex. Anyway the Sony A7S is very sesitive to low light. I ended up using a small IR flashlight and aimed it at my chest to act as a soft bounce and fill the area with a it more light. I used a F/0.95 35mm lens. I forget the ISO but I think it was at 6400? Amazed how bright this was.

Cool. I look forward to checking that out. But it will be for the 2.1 right? The 1.2 is different.

Thanks. I’ll give it a whirl. Can you point me in the direction of the proper speed booster? I tried looking at Metabones but didn’t see anything specific for C-Mount. Or would I need an adapter? I bought a Canon to C-Mount adapter. Would I then add the speed booster to that adapter and a faster lens on the speed booster?

Hmm I will have to look into that speed booster. I plan on using a 50mm f/1.3 computar lens that I have.

I don’t have specs. But I want to try and capture the spark from a Winto-green life saver. I guess I should have just googled it. Smarter Everyday did it with a phantom. And I was surprised how bright it is it and the camera was able to capture the lighting.

Chronos User Discussion / Low light capture

So I’m still waiting on my Chronos. Has anyone captured video under low light? I want to capture a faint light but I know the Chronos needs a lot of light to light up the subject. Won’t that wash out the faint light I am trying to capture?

Just worked my way through the Manual, but cant seem to find any actual images of it, but its Called "Focus Aid" and described in detail on page 67 (cant currently set up my 2.1 to share an image of it, maybe someone else can post an image or something.).

Sweet. Thank you.

Chronos User Discussion / Focus peaking assist?

« on: October 29, 2021, 11:55:29 AM »

I ordered my 1.4 earlier this week. I’m mentally preparing for its arrival. I saw some videos online and noticed some zebra lines but that is for exposure. Does the Chronos have focus peaking to help you get the lens focused on your subject? On my Sony A7S cameras I can digitally zoom in I think they call it focus assist, I use this a lot to make sure my f/0.95 manual focus lens is actually focused on the thing I am taking a photo of.

Does the Chronos have a feature like that?
