It’s a shame that Ulanzi don’t make a cage for the action 4 like the ones that they make for GoPro. Then there’s a filter thread on the front plus cold shoes.
I had a play around this morning with the Ace Pro using a Smoque filter and diopters to get a better focus close up. The effect is really dramatic and it no longer looks like action cam footage. Much more film like.
With diopters, the background goes out of focus and with more than one, I can focus really close up on things. Easily seen on the screen of the Ace Pro because it zooms in so you can actually judge the focus really accurately.
The footage from these mini cameras has the potential to look fantastic with the real ease of use that they have designed into them. I love the fact that we can get such a nice result with so little effort and the amazing portability that action cams offer.
With bigger sensors in these cameras, it does make sense to allow some degree of focus adjustment, even if it’s just close and distance and clicks into place. |
