Test Letus extreme - Canon XL H1 A - 50mm lens

[terminatorandre]

I type "xl h1 letus" in youtube, and end up in my neighborhood. What a small planet lol

[scallstar805]

i thought the quality was decent,.... then i realized there was 1080p....... AMAZING

[Jukeboxheroswsprod]

i want this cam so bad i could cry

[MEGABOINK65]

someone is selling me this camera xl-h1 for $3000 in mint condition only 4 hrs of use is it worth it?

[halvorhoem]

@MEGABOINK65 Sounds like a good deal to me

[MEGABOINK65]

@halvorhoem I got it, yesterday lol

i have to tell you it was lil dusty but, when i cleaned its brand new. so far everything work. he also sold me a canon video lens 3x wide zoom for $500 was that good?

oh wanted to ask you what are the setting on the video above, i mean it looks fantastic.

[dreamnitin99]

@MEGABOINK65 Dont go for it :-(

In India cost is $10,000 :-)

[dreamnitin99]

@MEGABOINK65 this is HDV1080i

1080p also provids a resolution of 1920x 1080, but thats where the similarities with 1080i stop. Letter “p” at the end of 1080p stands for “progressive”. This means that the picture is scanned in a single pass "rather than in two passes with interlaced formats", which makes for a smoother, cleaner image, especially with sports and other motion-intensive content.

[dreamnitin99]

@dreamnitin99 XL-H1A is HDV 1080i

[dreamnitin99]

@MEGABOINK65

buy Canon 550D/T2i

at dbuys.com: $729 with 18-55mm lens kit

1080P = 24fps

720P = 50/60fps

Excellent video output!

@MEGABOINK65

go for Sony HVR-V1U HDV at $3100 (NEW)

[deadcell1]

@MEGABOINK65 Amazon has it for $2,600. shop around before you buy anything

[MEGABOINK65]

@deadcell1 I bought it. thnxs anyway!

so far so good. i also bought the letus extreem. and they are both collecting dust. :( no time to mess with it.

[deadcell1]

@MEGABOINK65 Is it difficult connecting the Letus extreme to the canon XLH1? I been thinking about getting the XLH1s or I may just stick with my original pick and go with the Sony HXR-NX5U NXCAM .

[MEGABOINK65]

@deadcell1 well, i'am the type that dont read manuals. unless i really need it.

it was easy to connect the letus extreem. but the support brackets are a challenge. the reason i say that i guess, cause i didn't read the manual lol but i manage to getting on. gosh it became so heavy. but hey i love the xl-h1,i love the body. and is so easy to use and a great picture. but you would have to do some research to find what you really are looking for. of course the price for the xl-h1 hasd gone down.

[U378U]

hEY! short, but GREAT VIDEO!

[NiteLiter]

Actually,this is a great short film,love the picture too,too bad my GL2 dont hav that great a picture.........

[javieralza]

I thought xl2 was the best digital camera for consumer buyers, but this is way better, but it's in range of like 3000 to 5000 bucks :D I might get one

[MEGABOINK65]

I'am about to buy the XL-2 i know is older but for $1500. is not so bad, but after watching this video i'am having second thought.

Gosh, should i spend the extra for the HL-H1?

Letus 85 Extreme*

[GreatLasers]

WOW! That music really does add to the quality of this video. Your music gave me the tingling sensation down my back! I'm going to take another watch and thank you for posting.

[Mapleneckguitar]

[bizzy244]

great video it pretty nicely put together and just to ask what song is this ??

[halvorhoem]

Thanx, the song is just a piece I wrote myself and put together in reason.

[bashlet]

@halvorhoem Can you send me a download link for this piece?

[halvorhoem]

@bashlet You mean the music? Sure just send me your email adress

[GreatLasers]

What's this Letus 5 please?

[whyshot1313]

i love your dog and cat!

[1BiGdAvE63]

I love this camera. I have the xh-a1, which is no comparison to this. I also would like to get this camera but someone is trying to talk me into the JVC GY-hm700. I do own a Imac and edit with Final Cut Pro. To me it looks like the picture Quality is better on the XL-H1. If you get time can you give your out look on this...Great film. 5 star I sub.

[flashgunfilms]

Nice shots - I had to laugh when I saw the barrel edges to the adapter in shot - I did that when I had mine for the first time. What's it like holding this cam with an adapter? You work out? Nice shots.

[ooxcfhxoo]

i dont think it is the barrel edges but it is the ground glass holder it is on a shock mount and if it is your first time using the letus you have to play around with the zoom to crop the edges out.

[bolonia79]

Fantastic video...

[Movie81movie]

HI what song is this? NICE thanks!

[halvorhoem]

That's a piece I've written myself. thanx - just let me know if you want me to send it to you if you want to use it for something.

[Movie81movie]

Yeah can you thanks

[halvorhoem]

send me your email adress then.

[mugupo10]

Is this beter than cann 7d?

[straikasx]

nice

[halvorhoem]

Hi Victor.

As I just bought the equipment I can only speak based on a couple of test rounds. The letus thread size for this camera is 72mm. I found it easy to put together the equipment. Now I'm using a canon eos 50mm lens and a 35mm, both lenses work fine with the letus. I'm thinking of buying a lcd monitor though- something like a Swit-S-1080, as my experience is that the canon XLH1 viewfinder is a bit small for focusing when using these lenses. Picture quality is great in my opinion!

[victormc49]

Hey thanks for the reply,

I was just curious because someone warned me that this system doesn't work well a Canon camera, anyways, i don't see much downside (like loosing sharpness or wield flares) here. I think it looks very very fine to me, and of course, better than using just the stock lens!

i already have a 7" monitor. I dont understand why Canon say its integrated EVF/LCD is an advantage =P

I'm planning to get the either the extreme or the elite as my own Christmas Present.

Cheers,

[victormc49]

Hey dude, may i talk to you about your experience with the Letus extreme since our cameras are similar? I currently own a XL H1s and considering a Letus adapter, may be the extreme or elite.

Just want to know how it serves you. How did you put together all your equipments for this vid? Did you experience anything wield or unexpected? How do you compare the image quality btw w/ and w/o Letus?

It's hard to find a canon shooter with Letus around. Your reply would be much appreciated,

Victor,
