    • Yeah this is pretty cool. I've been thinking about selling my FP for a while now, but I definitely need to test these new modes before I do... the open gate 2K and super 16 mode specifically.
    • Yeah I'm sure it's fine and a bunch of people will buy it and create gorgeous images with it. I've had such a love/hate relationship with the original, so I was surprised to see Sigma not only ignore what was annoying about the original, but double down on it. The good news is that this release has confirmed a few things I've been mulling over about these new camera releases and where I want to spend my money.

    • I skimmed the video for now, will watch more in-depth later. The tripod plate looks pretty nice.  I'm surprised there's no obstruction of the bottom sensors.  It looks like they're at least partially blocked.  If you decide to do an Arca-Swiss version instead of Manfrotto, I could be interested to give it a try. The way I do tripod plates now is that I have the pgytech beetle clip (Arca-compatible) from their backpack on the front tripod mount and a slightly longer Arca-Swiss plate on the rear one.  It's not perfect, but especially with a longer clamp, I can usually balance the camera decently.  My biggest headache tends to be the anti-slide screws on the rear Arca plate.  Someday, I'll get annoyed enough to remove them. As for the microphone, I'm usually MOS, working with a sound engineer and syncing in post, or using lavs hooked up to a DJI mic 2 on the talent.  Your solution looks pretty good, but still seems like there's some danger of the mics getting in frame when the camera is pointed down, especially with a wider lens.  The microphone mount on the front of the plate also seems to block the release to detach the head for use with Flex.  Plus they don't seem to have an option for a shock mount - don't you pick up some vibration noise?  If it were me, I'd be inclined to just set up a shotgun mic mount that sits further back on the handle.
