Hi! You have become my no. 1 source for Mavo Edge info 😊. I downloaded some clips from your page and played with them. The image looks so nice. It has a medium format feel to it. But before cotinuing the plans of getting the Mavo Edge I have some questions that I would love getting an answer to. 1\. How loud are the internal fans? Are they really noisy like a RED camera or are they barely noticeable like a Sony FX6 or FX9? 2\. How stable and good is the firmware? Can you delete clips in camera now and is the overview of clips recorded now fixed so you can select what to play back in camera? 3\. Would this be a logical upgrade from my FS7? I do mainly corporate, image videos and commercials. if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } One thing I love about my FS7 it the auto black balance that comes up once a week, it takes care of itself and you never have to think about it. Does the Edge do the same or is it a bit more hassle like the RED cameras? Is this camera at all suited for run gun shoots of long event in your opinion? Like 8 hour shoots of events? My FS7 is great for these types of work since I can get 4K at quite low filesize or 1080p at even lower filesize. Thank you for all the great work!😊

Hey Sandro! Welcome on our forum. Here are my answers. the camera produces a lot more heat than a sony camera which has a different computer which is way less power consuming, the Edge uses an fpga and needs some heat dispatching. However we have such a feature that you can put the fans on when its not recording and ones you hit the recording button, it will stop, under normal conditions, you can do quite long takes without having to put the fan back on, but in case of an interview (like 10 min+_ IO would not reccommend this. firmware is very stable, no crashes or whatsoeevre, this is the feedback we get from all of our users. you canno delete clips in camera, and this wont be enabled in future fw, we believe that yous houdl focus on recording during shooting and not deleting. Just bring enough media. The cards are very cost efficient, you can buy a kinemag nano body for 200 euros and media for 100 euro to insert into these cards (m2 media nvme). You can playback files in camera but its not extensive yet, you can scroll sthrough your footage, and toggle between clips, but an overview with thumbnailss etc is not yet there, but is in the making. 3 This is a very hard question to answer. You should first think about what your camera is lacking, make a list, and then see if the Edge ticks enough boxes, this is not an question I can answer for you. black balance only have to be done in rare occassions, like moving from very cold to warm, or after you switched between high gain and low gain numerous of times. But theres not such a thing like auto reminding etc. this have to be part of your own rituals. 5 most probably not, i think its more gtargetted towards different kinds of shoots. However a 2k oversample mode will be added soon to full frame, but This camera is mostly aimed at high image quality with low compressions artefacts. But we have compression ratios like prores proxy and lt. YOu cna look these up on the apple prores white paper, and see how long you can record with these.

Thinking about switching to Edge

Ho Sandro and welcome to the forum. I’m new to the Mavo Edge (only had it about a week) but I’m coming from Sony E-mount and Leica L-mount mirrorless cameras.

I’d say in general the camera is quite a bit more involving early on then working with some of the more big brand consumer products. I do however feel that the camera can work in non-traditional non-cinema productions no differently than a Arri, Red, or D can provided you’re okay with the things that you’ll lose like Autofocus, a more consumer friendly (comparatively speaking) design, and a truly video centric product.

Jerome is correct in that you’ll likely need a lot of storage if you’re planning on doing a lot of 8K shooting but the 4K ProRes 422 shouldn’t be any different from what one could do on say an Atomos External recorder attached to a mirrorless or ENG style camera from a Sony, Canon, Panasonic, etc. camera.

My suggestion would be to rent the camera for a week or two unless you live close to a dealer that can give you a full run down… then rent the camera for a few days to a week after and see how you like it. So far I’m loving it and am adjusting my workflow to it. I’ve only shot demo footage around the house but it’s really nice. I strongly recommend doing custom WBbecause the natural image comes out on the warmer side… not that it isn’t pleasing but it’s something I’ve always done with any camera to get as much right in camera as possible because I don’t like being stuck behind a computer personally.

Thank you so much for your kind answer, I will look into all the pros and cons 😊
