Hi Guys, I haven't yet flown the Arri Mini but have a shoot planned in a week or so. Trying to get a kit together for that camera to fly it on the M15 and wanted to get recommendations as to what we might need or expect. We are flying the ConnexHD so I know we will need something to convert the SDI to HDMI, we already have the Atomos converter but it's a major PITA sometimes. Any other converters you can recommend that will be easy to power or have their own internal power? Thanks!
Hi Mike. I use a tiny converter I bought off Amazon for about £30. It comes in a little metal box but I just took the circuit board out of the box, put some heat shrink over it to protect it, so now it probably weighs about 20 grams. It runs all day of a 2s 1000mah lipo. I bought two just incase but after about 10 months of constant use I've had no issues. It all dual locks onto the mini pretty neatly too.
Hi Mike, i did the same... 30 gr, 6-12V and no problems on my Mini, i even use it handheld, always, sticked it to my DP-4. Best, Wolf
