Mid season update… Well it’s more towards the end of the season actually with my 4th to last job happening this weekend… Never did swap one of the S1Rii’s for an S1ii in the end and had a rearrangement instead which has proved to be nigh on perfect for my needs. My pair of S1Rii’s I put back into workhorse hybrid unit roles and that is where they excel with superb photo & video results matched with primes or zooms. Not quite Sony levels of AF, but otherwise I cannot find fault with them other than perhaps battery life could be a little better, but they are hardly trash in this regard and battery swaps every now and again are hardly a big deal. I have a battery grip arriving for one of them to try with a new lens, the Sigma 28-105 f2.8. I’m not 100% sure whether I will use this lens next year on one of these bodies or on the S5ii replacing the 70-200 f4 which is broken (dropped it and knocked out the OIS so it doesn’t work in any capacity anymore and need something longer than the 28-70 it’s currently stuck with). Otherwise it’s: S5ii for longer static stuff. It just works and does not have hissy fit meltdowns when it gets a bit hot and as we have had multiple heatwaves this Summer… S9 for shorter static stuff that requires a quicker set up. Capable of some pretty long takes as long as it’s not too hot. It did about 30 minutes though on sticks in direct sunlight, 35 Celcius the other day so hats off to it. Unlike the L10 that had a meltdown after less than 10 minutes…but is proving to be great as a dedicated gimbal camera and outside of work, is a great EDC/travel camera. So 4 jobs left this year with 4 slightly different set ups coming, but feel this set up is now very mature. I still look at some of the Sony lenses with envy, but I can’t see any system change at this time being anything but a sideways move, ie, maybe gain in one area but would lose in another and as above, this set up just works for my needs so anything I do now is more tweaking for the sake of tweaking than any actual need. -

For anyone considering the R6V, Looks like this fairly new 'Subject Tracking IS' feature addresses the longstanding wobble issues Canon has had with its IBIS system. I think more testing needs to be done - but just caught this vid from YouTuber Q Maldonado talking about it via this Canon R6V FB group. Personally, I sold my R50V and picked an R6V up to be my new casual/travel/C-cam. If you barebones it with a wrist strap it isn't that much bigger than an R50V with a Smallrig cage. Haven't really had time to do much testing but so far the biggest issue for me has been using the LCD screen in broad daylight. My workaround will be to rebuy a Zacuto Z-Finder and slap a Z-Frame adhesive on the LCD screen. Sure it makes it impossible to put the LCD in the protective closed position but that is obvi not a new concern + if you slap on a screen protector below the adhesive you should be fine + because the Z-Frame adhesive has some thickness to it, it also acts as another layer of protection. Anyways, just an fyi!

MotionCam Pro is apparently coming to iOS. I think they already offer private beta via TestFlight. -
Second Charmera arrived, and I got the other naturally coloured one, so that's a win! I got the second one so that I don't feel like I need to be careful with the first one, so it's the sort of redundancy that will let me push for getting shots even if it's raining or I'm in a crowd or whatever. I found a second microSD card for it, but it had issues, and it turns out that if you format the card in the camera it stops being functional - either for the camera or for reading it on a computer! This ended up being a win though, because I discovered that if I format the SD card to the oldest format FAT32 IIRC then it works better than the previous format (ExFAT) which had random stutters in the footage. So after some confusion and a bit of trial and error that's a big win! It still duplicates every third frame though, so it didn't change that behaviour.
