Managed to fly this C70 + Sigma 18-35 + RS2 combo all day today, not as heavy as I thought it will. Ronin was chewing lots of battery vs when I fly my R5, down to like 25% at end of the day vs ~50% when i fly R5 + 24-70 2.8.

On my 4K monitor I definitely can see the difference, on my phone they look pretty much the same?

Out of curiosity I weigh the camera, without battery 1.2kg, with A30 battery 1.4kg, with sigma 18-35 and adapter it is 2.35kg, with handle probably another 100g. R5 with 18-35 and adapter is 1.65kg. So C70 body with battery is nearly 2x weight of R5 body.

you probably need 3/8" to 1/4" adapter for the center hole for default plate.

Yeah I m definitely wanting to try it for maximum DR I just tried the C70 on RS2 with smallrig rs2 plate, it can just fit the c70 if you took grip stripe off and insert from the back of the gimbal, flying with it is no problem.

C70 and sigma 18-35 fit to my messenger bag easily.

Editing in Premiere. We dont have speedbooster atm, thought might get one in the future but not at this stage. Atm i m just using clog3, havent tried clog2 yet.

I m really impressed with C70 so far on this one limited shoot, the black is soo bloody clean! And the Stalman lut is really nice, more pop and nicer uniform skintone unlike Canon lut which can go over the place. Next few weeks will have some big project, so eager to shoot with it! My R5's only grace is IBIS and FF look..

up to 25meter is fine, more and it will have to be active fibre HDMI cable?

Light arrived 1st impression, size wise it is a bit bigger/heavier than FS150, the fan noise is definitely more louder than FS150, but when the light is at my camera side the pickup from mic is ok.. (1.5m away). Definitely love the power increase though!

GH6 could be for a higher price market.. 8K to differentiate 4K of GH5 II? The Panasonic MKII's are generally not big upgrade judging by their past release like the LX100 II, FZ1000 II etc

Yeah just ordered one, even if the noise is louder it is still plenty useful for other stuff beside talking head. After using 120D II for a year and half I definitely want something more powerful, and if I really need to use it for remote shooting I can get those solar generator/power station which is a lot cheaper than 2X V mount battery with 12A requirement.

At our local photog shop, it is pretty rare to have just released stuff on sale.

Na, as we are already locked into Canon eco system so not really, my other friend just ordered FX6 to replace his Usra mini Pro G2 though, probably could do a quick compare once his FX6 arrive. Nice! We got TVC and a MV shoot at end of this month so I got lots of days to familiar myself with C70. Dont have chance for a shoot yet, I did quick test in the office and quit impressed with DR on clog3... more cleaner than c200 we have.

Nanlite FS-300 is on sale atm, making it quite cheaper than Amarian 200D or VL150 (on special too), just not sure about the fan noise for normal taking head? Forza 300 is also on sale too making it cheaper than VL300, but at over 250% price of FS-300 not sure if that is worth that extra.. I m tempted to change my 120D II to either one, I got Forza 60B which will be my battery powered light.

So CineD finally tested the DR on Alexa Classics, and the test came out 13.8 which is really close to Arri's stated 14 stop DR, while all other camera state high DR but actual result is much more tame. They should really use Arri's DR test as standard. DR claim is a wild west out there atm it is ridculous! https://www.cined.com/arri-alexa-classic-mini-lf-lab-test-rolling-shutter-dynamic-range-and-latitude/

Finally got c70 to replace the aging c100mk in.

Thank god we have our local auction site here, ebay tried to enter our online auction market decades ago but didnt make a dent so they move out.

IPhone got native pal support since last year. Other phones you will need 3rd party app for 25p

What does prototype look like? Similar to current design?

Wonder how long can r5 output 8k raw for

https://www.canonrumors.com/canon-to-add-to-their-cinema-eos-lineup-with-three-new-monster-cameras-cr3/ I hope the R5C will use that C500 sensor, 8K60P sensor with 17DR? that is way more than 12DR (more like 10.5 stop) on current R5.

On the other news, three Canon 8K Cinema is coming https://www.canonrumors.com/canon-to-add-to-their-cinema-eos-lineup-with-three-new-monster-cameras-cr3/

Is that the dji focus on top of the lens?

That is up to RED unfortunately as they hold the internal compressed raw patent
