  1. I own three steadicams.  It takes about a month to get good at it - then it's pretty small tweaking.

    costs $2k used.  up to 10 lbs weight.

    the gimbal once you switch the lens you have to tweak it?  I don't know - never seen how effective these little guys are but with the steadicam pilot you can put a remote follow focus on it and use cameras like the epic and alexa mini on it when you want to.  

     

     

    With gimbal you can zoom in and zoom out and it still hold position, they are less sensitive in weight distribution compare to steadicam. And for the lens if they are similar weight the motor can tolerant some difference, I can change from UW lens to 50mm prime to 24-70mm lens on the go without tweaking the PID setting, the downside with not perfectly balanced setup is they eat more battery.

     

  2. you can also buy a steadicam pilot for probably less than these gimbals and it uses physics not electronics to work and takes a lot less tweaking to get right.  

    1. it cost $2795 brand new

    2. it take months and years to get it right

    3. still have to tweak it here and there.

    4. big and heavy, inconvenient to go anywhere, especially if travel "light"

    vs gimbal

    1.cost $800 new

    2.weight much less as no counter weight needed

    3.once set you dont have to tweak again

  3. Yeah the 8-bit 100mbps codec is no match.

    More like user error, quite a lot of user were disappointed with slog2 on a7s, the noise is too much compare to other profile unless you +1/+2ev over.

    I can get more DR on 4:2:0 XAVC-S than 4:2:2 10bit on bmpcc on a couple occasion, that 14dr really makes difference.

    1. They are a foto company and so they havent enough videodeveloping engeneers. Since 1 year they have some more vidoe developer . result : EM 5 II.

    2. It is a problem of their contract with Panasonic. The Sensor of the EM-1 can do more Video rates ( also 4K) but Olympus ist not permitted to bring

    the results. As far as he knows the contract limitation was for 2 years. EM 1 enter the market in September 2013 so in September 2015 Olympus could bring a videoupdate with allowens of Pana.

    i hope they do it

     

    Looks like that Simon guy is right, the contract limitation expires this month so Olympus can do whatever it wants with E-M1 in terms of video capabilities.. though not sure if they gonna bring 4k or leave that for E-M1 II

  5. Why carry so much to tell your story?

    Introducing the new DJI Zenmuse X5 and X5R camera, the world's first aerial camera with a micro four thirds (M4/3) sensor designed for the inspire 1.

    Supporting 4 interchangeable lens (DJI MFT 15mm f/1.7 ASPH lens, Panasonic Lumix 15mm G Leica DG Summilux f/1.7 ASPH lens, Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm f/2.0 lens, and Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8 lens with more to be supported) with access to adjust focus and aperture via the GO app, you now have the power to create aerial magic.

    The X5 RAW includes a removable 512GB SSD with a microSD card slot for you to record in CinemaDNG in lossless 4K.

    Shooting in RAW is a huge surprise!

  6. Pre-wedding video I did using just RX10m2 with slog2+cinema, the noise is worse than GH4 (i have to use denoiser on this video), and I hope Sony can fix the super annoy focus shift bug in HFR, can't use it in critical moment cause it will go out of focus, will have to use 120p for that.

     

    Otherwise HFR is pretty awesome, I definitely gonna use it to spice up the video, just like aerial, but will try refrain from putting too much or it will get old fast.
