Casey is fine. I've watched a few of his videos and he's entertaining, he pushes himself and his life mantra is fairly inspirational. He seems relatively true to himself and he doesn't seem to be projecting a fake persona, like a hell of a lot of these content creators. But his views need to be taken with an absolutely massive pile of salt. People watch these videos and listen to his mantras they think, 'THIS' is how to be successful, how to be happy, how to do what I love' and because he only preaches 'work work work' and that must make a lot of people feel inadequate. It's normal to relax, it's normal to want some downtime, and not everyone can or should be a workaholic. Casey's life view is that this is how you get what you want. If you break it down, it's capitalism 101. You are a component in a larger machine, if you're not working you are an unproductive member of society. If you work more, you will reap the benefits. Completely ignoring socio-economic background, ethnicity, physical or mental disabilities. He is a walking 'American Dream' machine. I'm so glad I dodged this generation of hyper ADD attention seeking 'content creators' but part of me wonders what kind of dangerous precedent it will set in creative industries.

Possibly is old news to many here, but this was news to me, an entire magazine edition devoted to anamorphic lenses: http://www.fdtimes.com/pdfs/articles/anamorphic/FDTimes-Anamorphic-Special-May2015.pdf This was also a good watch:

You need to be careful with this line of thought, because some times people go through life changes, Marriage, moving, child breath, family health issues, personal health issues etc etc. Any of them can have an impact on a creators content. The number one thing that annoys me, are the negative little piss-ant commenters, doesn't matter if its my videos or someone else's. They complain the presenter is talking to much. or not enough, is giving to much detail or not enough, is talking to fast or to slow etc etc etc. I mean honestly, it takes a special kind of a-hole to act like that considering the content they are watching is free 99.9% of the time.

Shot this video for a Bible camp I was at last week entirely with Pro Color V4 HDR:

That's great, DJI is killing it. I didn't believe they could fit a one inch sensor in a Mavic size drone but they managed to design it. I'm curious about the final size and weight of the drone.

It seems like you guys aren't doing proper settings in FCPX. In the PDF it teaches you how to set everything up. Works perfect for me.

I think Panasonic and Olympus have far more fundamental problems. Video af is pretty much unacceptable - they need pdaf. And their pricing (for both bodies and high end lenses) is simply too high when you have FF at US$2k with the Sony A7iii and Canon and Nikon are likely to be aggressive in the budget end of mirrorless APSC.

What I have noticed is that lenses with large front elements have less vignetting, so the dof is not only shallow in the center but also in the corners. (Compare shots in a classic 50 1.4, the corners will be as dark and dof won't change when stopping down to f2.8.

Actually, @Oliver Daniel reminded me that often on other forums they have an "anything goes" type of sub-forum which is for the hot topics. In audio there are lots more hot topics than in cameras.. things like cables, ABX testing, etc. At least here we all agree that Mojo and Motion Cadence are real things, despite there being a complete lack of technical explanation ???

Well the trouble is a Husband and a Wife don't really understand each other either with Politics. I had 3 pretty big time businesses. I voted Republican, if memory serves me right, all the time I had them. But I am sure my wife with the kids in mind probably voted Democrat in the same time frame. We never asked each other how we voted. That Is a private thing. So even within close families there is division, and arguing best be left out of that if you want to stay married LoL. There is unfortunately no real winner either way in elections for all, not with this bickering Congress we have today in this country. It wasn't nearly as bad years ago. They Used to go drinking and play cards together, now Good Luck with that happening! Now I know they are not all bad, but the leaders on Both sides seem to be brain dead. They are out for their own good not the peoples good.

I firmly believe in the right to talk freely, but you have to question whether such topics are actually a benefit to what EOSHD is all about? First and foremost, people come here to talk about geeky camera stuff. You might attract a trouble making swarm of trolls if EOSHD suddenly got known for political discussions, and people might find that unwelcoming. I think you should have a sub-forum, with a chat about relevant industry topics, so it doesn’t get too personal and off vibe.

It depends on how it's used, and who is using it.

I don't read or post in the political threads, mostly because things just make me unhappy. I think that politics is one of those things that can make you go from liking someone to not liking them if you discover they have different priorities to you, so I don't think it really adds to the overall sense of community.

It's got nothing to do with actual doing "film" making so I voted away with it. I agree that there are pressures topics regarding freedom of speech in the realm of artistic expression etc... but for me discussing them here does not advance my knowledge of constructing arguments in a visual way. Maybe a sub forum can bundle the message, media and artist, rights discourse better.

Yes, I saw that but dont forget that DJI is now the majority of owner of Hasselblad, so some tie up was inevitable.
