THE STATS BREVIS FLIP The Cinevate Brevis Flip Bundle includes the following: Brevis35 HD lens adapter with Flip module. Built-in achromat lens Micro-collimation lens mount adjustment Allen wrench/Hex key A/C adapter/charger Pelican hard case Lens mount of your choice including Canon EF/EOS, Canon FD, Nikon, Minolta MD, Pentax K, and M42 screwmount. PL and OCT10 mounts are optionally available. frame I shot an evenly lit white background. I connected a waveform monitor to a Sony HDR-FX1 test camera and noted IRE percentage levels from left to right with various lens configurations. I found that vignetting is most apparent when the camcorder’s lens is wide, and least visible when it is zoomed in to the Z99 max. With a 50mm lens at f/4 and the FX1 set to Z82 I noted a 5-percent dip in left edge brightness, and a 10-percent drop on the right edge of the frame. Wide lenses tended to exhibit more edge falloff, telephoto less. To virtually eliminate vignetting, you must zoom the camera into Z94, where on the 50mm I noted just a 2-percent drop in edge illumination over the stock lens. To deliver the best sharpness, the Brevis should be configured with the camcorder lens set as wide as possible. The reverse is true if you wish to eliminate vignetting. Bear in mind also that the focal length of the camcorder has a direct effect on the field of view of your final image. Users will find that obtaining optimum sharpness and an evenly illuminated frame at the same time is a balancing act and requires compromise. The Brevis Flip is quite light and can technically be used without a rod support system, but I would not recommend it. The system works best when properly supported by standard 15mm rods and the Brevis support bracket. Many thirdparty rods and adjustable baseplate solutions are available. Cinevate also offers its own carbon fiber 15mm rods and camera baseplate.
