New Blackmagic Camera Nab

Hollyland does it again! The new Lark C1 Duo was first introduced to me at this years NAB New York. I was sold on it immediately, Finally a wireless phone mic system that I can use with my DJI Osmo! The sound quality is great and look forward to using it for years to come!

I’ll admit, I didn’t think much of this camera when it was introduced at NAB, I mean I’ve never heard of the company before... flash forward to the present when my DP couldn’t make a shoot and handed me his camera (Zcam E2) to cover. I literally learned the camera on the spot based on an easy to navigate menu. The images coming out of this little beast was unlike I’ve seen before, like a proper cinema camera stripped down to bare bones... since then, I’ve happily purchased my own and have shot in a variety of situations. I recently shot a documentary and the camera held up quite nicely. Zcam also has a close Facebook community where the CEO and engineers actually listen to your concerns. Every update is a great surprise. No regrets!

It does the job with my Blackmagic. I would not use any third party in my camera.

New camera out of the box into this to keep it like new. Love it so far.

I have visited NAB for the last 8 years, trying to stay current on technology. I end up coming home and buying something that needs replacing or upfitting. I did not go to NAB this year thinking my tripod head was that item. In fact I was pretty pleased with what I had (another current Manfrotto head). Then I tried the Nitrotech on a set of sticks at NAB with a camera that matched mine for weight. Oh my goodness. What a great product. Smooth, holds every position you put it in. Adjust it correctly, and the drag becomes just some resistance so you don't move the camera past your spot. A great value for the price. I bought it. Couldn't be happier with its performance in my rig. Nice lighted bubble, easy to set up, a joy to use, well-priced for the performance you get. My only complaint: the head is a little taller than my other tripod head, by about 3/4, and the controls end up consuming more area in the bag, to the point I may have to move up one size on the bag to not have to squeeze the tripod into my existing Manfrotto MBAG90PN bag. I think I'm going to move this bag onto my spare system over the long haul and buy the next bigger Manfrotto bag available. That's nobody's fault and is not a design flaw of the head. It's just not the most compact head you've seen. It would not be the head I'd choose for that trip overseas, nor would I choose it if I wanted a light weight tripod system. Again, this is not a design issue to me, which is why I give it a 5 star rating.

a lens for a blackmagic i like how it behaves with my camera

Works great with Blackmagic 6k camera.

I recently purchased this and had several opportunities to use it. I had the opportunity to see it first hand at NAB and I am not disappointed in the least.

Perfect for the Blackmagic Studio Camera! Make sure to get the right lens.

New life for my batteries and my camera. Works with any V mount!!
