WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.600 hey guys Brandon here thanks to your awesome feedback on my last video here 00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:10.240 let lius decided to let me take another crack at it and this time I'll be talking about something camera related 00:00:08.719 --> 00:00:14.120 one of my favorite pieces of gear that we use here every single day the 00:00:11.799 --> 00:00:18.440 metabone speed booster or as lonus likes to call it the make all my lenses better 00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:33.120 Metron save on select Intel Core i7 processors and 7 30 series ssds with 00:00:31.320 -->

actually is is a FAL producer which allows your aperture which you can learn 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:48.760 more about in this video on techi on any 00:00:46.239 --> 00:00:54.199 lens to be one stop faster than it would otherwise be possible okay we've been 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:57.280 through this before the video no camera 00:00:54.199 --> 00:01:01.920 talkie mumbo jumbo you speak in plain 00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:01.920 English okay okay all right 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.439 all right sorry so let me try this again the speed booster bolts onto your camera 00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:11.640 and sits between the camera and a compatible lens and has three main 00:01:09.479 --> 00:01:17.040 benefits number one is that it widens the field of view that your camera can 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:19.000 see by a magnification of 71 or 0.58 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:22.400 depending on the model number two is that it adds overall sharpness to the 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:26.240 final image that you get out of your camera and number three is that it 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:29.880 seemingly increases the amount of light that enters your camera but we'll get 00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:34.640 more in depth on that in a moment because if you're anything like me you're probably sitting there going this 00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:38.560 is voodoo magic it sounds way too good to be true and honestly the first time I 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:41.840 read about this adapter I spent no small amount of time making sure it wasn't an 00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:46.200 elaborate hoax or April fools or something thankfully it wasn't and all 00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:50.560 metabones had done was figure out how to implement a general use focal reducer 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.880 something that no one has actually done in the photography world let's get into 00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:58.280 how this thing actually works typically you have your lens in a camera body 00:01:56.479 --> 00:02:01.799 where light enters and hits your sensor like this but here's what happens when 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:07.159 you add the speed booster to the same setup the light converges onto a smaller 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:10.759 field than before condensing the light this way allows for a wider field of 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.400 view and more of the light focused onto a smaller area effectively giving you 00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:18.519 more usable light on your sensor for the photographers and enthusiasts out there 00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:21.840 this is the opposite effect that a typical teleconverter would give you a 00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:25.440 teleconverter would spread the light over a larger area narrowing your field 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.840 of view and decreasing the amount of light that is usable on the sensor 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:32.640 giving you a cropped in and darker overall image now the important part to 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:37.360 note here is that the speed booster will only work with cameras that have appropriate spacing between the lens 00:02:35.480 --> 00:02:41.840 mount and the sensor the Blackmagic pocket or Panasonic GH4 for example and 00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:46.000 with lenses that are designed to cover a larger sensor size than your camera is 00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:49.480 equipped with for example here are three differ Siz lens circles each 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:55.879 specifically made for a different size sensor full frame apsc and micro 43s so 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.239 while the full-frame lens and the apsc size lens will both work on a speed 00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:05.040 booster paired with my Blackmagic pocket camera that uses a micro 43 Mount the 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.120 theoretical pairing between a micro 43s 00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:11.159 lens and a micro 43s camera would not work with this Speed Booster this allows 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:16.040 general purpose photography lenses like this one made for a full-frame camera 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:17.959 like Burl's Canon 6D DSLR to not only 00:03:16.040 --> 00:03:22.480 fit my Blackmagic camera but work even more effectively at a speed of up to one 00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:25.920 two3 of a stop faster giving me better performance in low light outside of the 00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:29.920 studio as well as the ability to get a much shallower depth of field like in 00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:32.680 this shot here now on to the last last of the main benefits of the speed 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:36.760 booster it's a common assumption that putting more glass behind or in front of 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:40.560 a lens would lead to a loss in overall sharpness and while this is true for 00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:44.519 teleconverters since they magnify the aberration of a given lens the speed 00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:48.280 booster actually has the opposite effect since it compresses the original image 00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:52.480 of the lens reducing the visibility of these anomalies in the glass now it is 00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:55.920 true that the glass within the speed booster will have its own set of 00:03:54.079 --> 00:03:59.360 aberration but metabones has done a great job of specifically correcting for 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:04.040 this and that is how they can achieve the L impossible better image quality 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:07.159 with more light captured so on to my conclusion which is one that I already 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.480 knew before I started making this video because I've been using the fs700 00:04:08.799 --> 00:04:14.079 version of the speed booster since it's released over a year and a half ago as 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:17.959 well as the Blackmagic pocket one since I bought it for myself about a year ago 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:21.040 and this is it the reason the speed booster is one of my favorite tools is 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.440 that it offers an immense amount of flexibility and new possibilities with 00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:28.040 the same camera equipment that I might already own and while it is not always 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:31.600 needed when trying to shoot something far away it actually might do more harm 00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:36.080 than good in that situation the same goes for if I wanted a deeper depth of 00:04:33.039 --> 00:04:38.680 field with for a macro closeup but it 00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:42.400 does allow me to make this shot into this shot and while I understand there 00:04:40.520 --> 00:04:46.039 are other ways I could achieve this nothing does it with quite the 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:51.080 Simplicity affordability and flexibility of the speed booster speaking of 00:04:48.440 --> 00:04:57.320 Simplicity affordability and excuse me sorry I was channeling Brandon there for 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:59.960 a minute affordability and flexibility 00:04:57.320 --> 00:05:03.800 Dollar Shave Club they deliver high quality razors directly to your door and 00:05:02.440 --> 00:05:07.400 all you have to do is sign up for the club so that's the Simplicity the 00:05:05.479 --> 00:05:12.520 affordability comes in where it's like yeah they're only a few bucks a month 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:15.440 and you sign up and then well it's affordable so that's pretty 00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:20.800 self-explanatory and the flexibility comes in with uh you don't even have to 00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:24.120 get razors you could get their Dr Carver shave butter you could get their After 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:27.880 Shave you could get their one wipe Charlie's butt wipes for men so they 00:05:26.039 --> 00:05:32.840 have all the same qualities of the speed booster except completely different 00:05:30.280 --> 00:05:37.240 because it's it's high quality razors and they come in the mail so that you 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:41.080 can leave the house looking like you leave the house and you don't have to 00:05:38.919 --> 00:05:45.880 leave the house in order to achieve that because if you think about it it's like 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:48.880 a freaking Paradox you have to go out to 00:05:45.880 --> 00:05:51.520 the store to look presentable to go out 00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:54.880 to the store how can anyone do this okay obviously it's not quite that 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:59.880 complicated but Dollar Shave Club
