Do we have an ATEM Extreme ISO G2 test yet? It's been on the market for a while but it still feels like tumbleweeds with no firsthand reports or in-depth reviews.
ASKED BY · Alexander Knight · PORT COQUITLAM, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA · 29 SEP 2026 · ▶ 00:37:24
There's a gap in the market; the recommendation is to study the specs and manual, plan what a review should cover, then rent the unit for a week to create a comprehensive YouTube review.
Guy reached out to Blackmagic contacts for a loaner unit a couple months ago and they circled back recently saying they have units available; he's waiting for it to arrive and plans to test the new Zoom ISO 3.0.6 with Thunderbolt connectivity.

37:09Can I do X? Can I control X with Y? And my first stop is always companion. Next question. Next one comes in from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. Alexander Knight wants to know, do we have an ATEM Extreme ISO G2 test yet? It's been on the market for a while, but it still feels like tumbleweeds with no firsthand reports or in-depth reviews.
37:35Anybody got one? Didn't we get one here at the office? Every time I have $2,000, I have something better to do with it. Carl. So there's a gap in the market there, Alexander. So what you want to do is you want to sit down and think first about what you think the review should have. So look at the specs, read the manual twice and think about, okay, what should be in a
37:56review and then rent one and then make the review and get a million views on YouTube. You just found a gap in the market, Alexander. But make sure you do the theory first, read the manual and think about everything that you'd want to see in a review yourself of a product that has all these features. And then once you've got that on paper, essentially a scripted review, make it about 20 minutes,
38:16then go rent one. Just rent one for a week and make the review. That's your job for that week is to make the review, make the best review that's possibly on YouTube for it. And then that's it. Million views later, you'll be fine. Guy. Yeah, I had reached out to our contacts at Blackmagic a couple months ago, and they were fresh out of loaner units.
38:37and then they circled back just a couple weeks ago and they said, hey, we got some, what's your address? And this was right about IBC time. So I'm wondering if they just got buried and then just didn't ship it to me, but it's supposed to be here any day. But that just reminds me that I will reach out to them again and be like, hey, did you ship that?
38:52I've been waiting for it, especially with the new Zoom ISO 3.06. I'm anxious to do what Andy did, which is just plug one Thunderbolt cable in and see how SRT works with getting all those ins and outs with just one cable instead of plugging all the other ones in. Yeah, sounds great. And, you know, looks like Alexander wants to collaborate on that with you.
39:15So very good. Next question. I smell a demo. Guy Cochran from Seattle, USA says, what's new in Zoom ISO 3.0.6? All right. A Cochran hath been thrown and a Cochran hath be answering. Go ahead. I don't have like a hardcore demo or anything. I just it came out a few hours ago So I'm not that fast on the blog and there's stuff cooking during the day
