  1. jitter and screen blocking is why I use Osmo X5, perfect balance every time! I am waiting for their x5s on osmo 2 to be released for my ultimate gimbal cam (4k60p raw in a tiny package!)
  2. That actually a good point! seems like you can move camera back further than before, maybe mounting anamorphic lens on it is possible with this design
  3. Good timing, thinking of ditching osmo x5 and get a gimbal for proper camera instead, this solves my no 1 annoyance with gimbal, cant see @$#%$# screen! With osmo you get big monitor aka phone but with slight lag.
  4. Codec on FS5 is weak, that is my biggest beef, and sensor is from fs700 so performance not as good compare to newer modern sensor on Sony mirrorless cameras, I feel I get more solid colour from A7RII than 10bit 4:2:2 limited 50mbps xavs-l codec, but super slow mo wise nothing beat it for the price range (except 2nd hand fs700) at work we use couple c100mkii and occasional c300mkii.. real work horse camera without exciting spec, and since I use it almost everyday to me they are just tools, dont get the big deal people keep praising them almost like worshiping lol. And I hardly use AF with those, manual is still the way to go, unless camera connected to my brain lol
  5. Lucky I dont listen to forum "suggestions" and hold off purchase, consider gh5 is taking a bit of queue on orders atm. The only thing excite me is the Panasonic cinema camera, time to sell that FS5..
  6. Wonder why they shown with Sigma 24-35mm F2 Full Frame lens and not 18-35mm F1.8 APSC lens..
  7. wow! super 35mm, native ef mount (no adapter on that sigma art lens)
  8. Still waiting for FS5ii and F65 successor to be announced
  9. Good thing I dont hold off purchase for this crap, too expensive consider I can get 2nd hand 1DXII for lower than this.
  10. I have Sony 16-50mm PZ lens and 25mm 1.8 semi-pancake lens which I will try on too as all my other lens is too big for it. Probably have to step down (f5.6?) as quality is awful on full open judging from youtube videos.
  11. Looks like Panasonic 14mm 2.5 and Panasonic 14-42mm PZ lens is the best fit for Moondog, 14mm 2.5 slight vignetting but usable, 14-42mm PZ usable from 18mm and up, unlike Panasonic 14-42 II which only 35mm and up is usable. Another guy tested 20mm 1.7 but seems unusable, the 45mm 1.8 looks pretty bad at 1.8 aperture.. probably need to step down. I am waiting for my one to arrive, which I will try on 12mm 2.0, 15mm 1.7, 25mm 1.7, 42.5 mm 1.7, Leica 45mm 2.8, Sigma 60mm 2.8 and Olympus 14-42EZ and see how they fair.
  12. Its time for me to dump my Sony gears when they are still have value.....ohhh wait, the A7RII and A7S is selling for much less now brand new :/
  13. No need for expensive external monitors for de squeeze option if it is true!
  14. Working full time at company instead of freelancing? I still have my own gear for the occasional interesting projects, but sold most of them since I just use company's gear most of the time after I started working full time.
  15. Sony Xperia XZs, 960fps slowmo in 720p, unlike rx100's 960fps 384p mode
  16. THIS I like my machine configured to my exact liking rather than dumb down approach. I don't want some fucking authority say what I can do or what I can't do on my own computer, I want it to be able to connect to everything I chuck at it, so all my device have USB 3.0, HDMI, SD CARD reader, which sadly mac can't offer me one ( I got a 5.5" mini laptop that have more useful ports than full sized macbook.. go figure) I used to own macbooks and ipads but at end of the day they are just tools. The Apple ecosystem doesnt suit me.
  17. Internet thread get derailed so that is norm?
  18. Well AF on FS5 sucks and doesnt have IBIS but I dont see many buyer like me see that as deal breaker lol, I dont see Sony fanboy denoucing FS5 or A7SII for crappy AF which is heavily bashed on GH5 atm.
  19. The video is entertaining for sure, hope to see more!
  20. The ones with clutch focus rings works well in manual focus
  21. Panasonic 42.5mm 1.7 and Olympus 45mm 1.8 both uses 37mm filter thread, should make it even more interesting if you want bokeh vs kit lens, Panasonic 14-42mm pz, Olympus 14-42 ez and Olympus 17mm 2.8 pancake lens is also 37mm filter thread. I hope Pana 20mm 1.7 and 14mm 2.5 and leica 15mm 1.7 works because they work on Slrmagic Anamorphot 1.33 without vignetting
  22. FS5 have both center scan and clearzoom mode. ETC on Panasonic works the same as center scan mode, just the center crop of the sensor, unlike clearzoom which have software interpolation when you zoom in, so for me center scan/ETC > clearzoom all the time, especially with moving target. I got FS5 myself and I always use center scan for extra zoom reach. On a7s I use APS-C mode instead. here is the video done by other FS5 user on this subject
