First Letus+XHA1 Field Test (INPUT PLEASE) at DVinfo.net

Andrew Allsbury · May 25th, 2009, 11:50 PM

Gentlemen,

Today I did what most of us do when we get new toys and don't have an immediate project to test them on...I tormented my friends and family :-) ! This is my first real field test with our new Letus Extreme. I would love to hear what you think of focus, adapter settings and usage, lighting, shot comp, etc. I am aware that the audio and editing are both pretty shotty, but it was a spur of the moment shoot and I was much more focused on the visual elements. Thank you for your time!

Letus Extreme + XHA1 - Field Test #1 (Nikon 50mm 1.4) By Andrew Allsbury On ExposureRoom

When I uploaded the file to exposureroom.com it seems to have added some noise that almost looks like GG that weren't in the original file? Are there any tricks to export settings when using the letus and uploading to exposure room?
Thanks guys!

I think it looks fine, typical nice Letus footage, well lit. Not sure what you're seeing in terms of Exposure Room compression. My only advice is to try to make your next field test video a bit more interesting--I'd rather just hear some good music with assorted shots than the interview about what's for dinner.
