12mm T2.2 Meike VS Canon 17-40mm f/4 L on Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
Today I took some time to compare the Meike 12mm T2.2 cinema lens with the Canon 17-40mm f/4 L using the Viltrox EF-M2 MFT to EF speedbooster. Here's some test footage to check out the difference.
The clips were cut and graded in Davinci Resolve, along with using some Bounce Color LUTs. You can check the LUTs out here: https://devowe.com/best-luts-bundle-bc

A close look at the Tilta V-Mount Battery Adapter Plate, mounting it on my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K rig.

SmallRig VS Tilta V-Mount Battery Plate Adapter
SmallRig VS Tilta V-Mount Battery Plate Adapter
I bought the Tilta V-Mount Battery Plate in hopes that I could find a nice solution for articulating the mount to adjust its position - along with the ability to have a power switch and USB. Right around the same time, SmallRig came out with their V-Mount Battery Plate Adapter WITH a power switch AND USB!
So now I have both the SmallRig and Tilta V-Mount Plates.
I have not found any other V-mount plate that has these features than the SmallRig in this price point. I purchased my SmallRig V-Mount Adapter from Adorama: https://adorama.rfvk.net/x0aR3

Time to break out the grill and crack open an ice cold Zevia. This is a beverage spec commercial for the pop our family enjoys so much: naturally sweetened Zevia. Shot in 4K and graded in Davinci Resolve.
