    • Nothing wrong with ZR dynamic range IMO, and highlights look good too. With NRaw ETTR just below clipping point is needed, but with R3D NE exposing correctly by false color works well. Just get Cinematools false color LUT to ZR, make your own in Resolve or use Parallax Monitor app. The ZR is no pocket 4P with DLog2 DR wise, but pocket 4P IQ still does not look even closely as nice as ZR, and guess which one breakes sooner in very low light. The pocket 4P IQ as a gimbal camera is still nice step up from earlier oversharpened stuff and does not look bad when mixed with raw shot with ZR and Z6iii.  Have not used RedCineX much after discovering it does not support R3D NE trim save either. 
    • The single biggest issue is that operating the thing one handed is not great and one handed is the only way to also shoot stills at the same time. The answer is to primarily shoot stills two handed and have the video unit attached to the photo unit and in that regard it needs to be small and operate on its own mini gimbal. Et voila, the Pocket series and its rivals. I also need a better BTS and quicker social media option so again, better tool for the job.
    • This is the right solution IMO.  Gimbals that you attach a camera to are so much less usable/useful than camera-integrated gimbals!
    • And… …selling it. It’s been a decent stills experience but less so video. From the stills perspective, it takes nice pics but back to the same old dilemma I always have and that is the best camera I have with me at all times is always going to be my phone and it’s a PITA to carry 2 devices. On the video side if things, it worked well enough on the gimbal but operating the gimbal as a one man band hybrid shooter is as much a PITA as that ever was so selling the RS4 mini also and replacing both, ie the gimbal and the L10 with a Pocket 4P. Also, in the static role, overheated in literally no time in the type of environment  I typically work in and at not much difference in size to an S9 with a small lens, which despite not having a fan, is surprisingly durable. More so than my S1Rii’s I *think*. I have not tested the latter but as my S1Rii’s have overheated in a static role multiple times and my S9 never has… Anyway, L10, I wanted to really like it, but it’s not cutting it for work purposes (never really expected it to as than as D cam at best) and can’t really be bothered as an EDC and with hindsight I shouldn’t have bothered, but hey, we sometimes need to try to find stuff out. Anyone want to buy a lightly used L10 in the UK?!
    • I was on the verge of selling my 18mm f1.8 in order to pick up the Sigma 20mm f1.4, just to keep things in alignment with the rest of my new all Sigma lineup, but… Despite this new boy looking quite interesting and Viltrox also supposedly dropping their own 20mm f2.5 next week, I’ve decided to just keep the 18mm f1.8 for financial reasons whilst keeping my OCD in order. Not really a fan of anything wider than 28mm but do have a use case for something 18/20, but not worth splashing any real cash on as in the Sigma 20 f1.4 and the trade in on the LUMIX 18 is less than retail on this new f2 20.  So nah. But very interested for an S9ii as at the conclusion of this season for me, I have decided to drop the L10 and pick up another S9 next Spring, but if an S9ii comes along in the mean time, I might go for that depending on the cost as S9’s are now stoopidly cheap.
