In DCI mode (8192×4320) the frame rate drops to 60 fps and to complete the “high frame rate picture”, in Open Gate mode (8192×5456) recording up to 48fps is possible. With its new full frame 8K CMOS sensor, the camera is capable of recording up to 75 frame per second in 8k! (Wide mode 8192×3456). We’ve already covered what’s new with this camera when it was first announced, but here is a short highlight recap: I can see this camera being mounted on drones easily (small and lightweight) and at the same time, big enough to accommodate most if not all the necessary in/out connectors. The cube form factor, we all got familiar with, is just the right size. From the outside, the feel and look of the carbon body is absolutely amazing. Maybe by saying that nothing makes me more happy than seeing a manufacturer making such great progress developing filming equipment – and as such, the new MAVO Edge 8k bears very little resemblance to the camera, that I reviewed back in 2013. Lots of water has passed under the bridge so I was very keen to get reunited with Kinefinity’s latest creation, the MAVO edge. Kinefinity came to our intention with their KineRAW Mini camera during NAB 2013, but my first direct encounter with it was a few months later when I tested and reviewed it myself. You can find out more about Deborah’s work by clicking here. Anyway, I placed my footage in the hands of Luciano, our amazing in-house editor and the final outcome is touchy. Running and gunning with anything larger than a mirrorless camera, especially in public places, always gives me a bit of a chill, hence the “not so in focus” underground shots. Myself on the other hand, could have performed a bit better. Deborah was simply herself in front of the camera, joyful and sincere. We met and shot everything in one long, stormy and cloudy day. It is then when I decided to contact her and check if she is willing to reconnect, but this time in front of my camera. At the same time, some of Deborah’s work and positive comments started to popping up on my Facebook feed. Fast forward to the present time, and the Kinefinity MAVO Edge landed on my table. Our kids used to play at the same park right after finishing kindergarten but as life progressed, we lost contact and haven’t seen each other for MANY, many years.
