That's excellent. 
In all honesty, I don't actually like social media. While it's very useful for positive outcomes, it's absolutely battered with non-stop bollocks which makes it very difficult to see the hidden gems of content. 
The video industry is changing massively, and this is because of smartphones and social media. (I'm sure you all know about the square format!)
Brands aren't spending as much on video (or are just plain alienated by it), and industries such as music give you laughable budgets - even big labels with big artists. 
So businesses are opting for regular video content but at a short form level, instead of spending a million billion $€£ on one 'hero' video. 
We're now seeing a massive amount of Uber style video providers - where you basically press a few buttons and you get a video for fuck all money. (YouTube Director, Animoto, Ripl etc). 
Many companies and agencies are setting up video in-house, and makingbit themselves. So there's quite an emphasis on videographers / filmmakers now being a consultant, as well as a creator. 
If you're just starting out or growing, you have to go all guns blazing to be seen. Also it helps if you have something unique to offer. Social media is growing so we have to take advantage of the right platforms for our audience. 
YouTube is a great platform however it's massively competitive. There's so many uploads it's difficult to get your stuff viewed when searched organically. 
Facebook is growing immensely with video, and is a serious consideration. 
Main thing is, keep creating awesome stuff and be happy with what you're doing.  

The only work I've gotten via social media is making DCPs for indie filmmakers. But that doesn't exactly pay the bills. That's more for what my dad used to call "walkin' around money." My bread and butter is cutting featurettes and other marketing content for the major studios. And those jobs come from real life relationships. That being said, I've somehow put together 15,000+ film-industry related followers across FB, twitter and IG. Not a ton, but it has raised my profile enough that when I bring a film to a distributor, they already know who I am. And I think that helps curtail any lowball offers or shady practices, i assume because they know I have an audience -- not that I would wield my social media presence as a weapon, but you know. To me, this question boils down to "do you want a fighting chance to have people to see your work?" and I do. An active social media presence is not the only a powerful component to achieve that.

It's annoy to switch from normal to slowmo because now you found you have to stay back since composition changed

Yeah that the thing, we are shooters with different purpose and mindset, I for one shoot for economical gain so having cost control/time management is important as well.  If I do stuff for hobby/interest where time is unlimited then shooting raw seems to be fine, but not if you have deadline due for the client which is a different story.

I have FS5 which said to be better performance than FS700 but lowlight still outgunned by much cheaper A6300, FS700 can only be worse, I guess their good low light performance is for year 2012 and not year 2017

Says Kodak or Nokia...
 
But not releasing new camera often means the camera doesn't depreciate fast, so good for us camera buyer in a way

FS5's weakness is sensor is old and codec not solid, I know cause I own one, I also have A7RII which I can get better colour from a7rii than fs5 anyday, a7rII colour just feel more solid, though non compares to C100MKII which with a few tweak will have good colour even if straight from camera footage looks crap.
 
I know many people waiting for AF100 successor, me included, price is still within reach so thats ok lol (gonna trade my FS5 for it), I got GX85 and loads of M43 lens, also got Sigma 1.8 zoom lens on EF mount (for FS5). So what if new camera doesn't use mft, I can use it on GH5/GX85, but I know my sigma 1.8 zoom will be on new Pana camera so that works ok fine. 
 
And I hate native Sony lens because their MF is really terrible, that why I use Canon mount lens on FS5 for solid MF support, still dont know what the big fuss about af, I know AF lens suck ball when you try to use MF, they are totally unusable! Vice versa for Canon lens too, only STM lens have really nice AF (but suck MF) on C100MKII, L lens is only ok but I wouldn't rate it stellar and they make noise, but MF is reliable.

I dont care about RAW, that why I never bothered getting the $500 upgrade for unlimited RAW on my FS5, it doesn't fit to my business and doesn't make economical sense as well, I rather spend on that 120fps unlimited upgrade which is more useful.

Brought the 10-bit file into FCPX and rendered to ProRes, then brought into PP CC and quickly graded with Lumetri. With a little post looks reasonably organic.

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

Poke the bear to find out as much as you can about http://www.43rumors.com/panasonic-teases-the-launch-of-a-new-mft-compact-cinema-camera/ ?

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.

Well looks fine on his video

Not mine. Just thought I'd add it here.
GH5 slow-motion test: 180fps, Metabones speed booster XL, and the Sigma 18-35 f1.8
 

Now changing subject, here's some marvelous imagerie from this piece of work:
Shot on 12-60mm f2.8-4 and 100-400mm f4-6.3 -- only two zoom lenses and here we all can go very light ;-)
 

Internet thread get derailed so that is norm?

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.

Hi everyone, today i got luck and catched a helicopter take off. Tried to film it in Slowmotion, what do you think? It was really sunny outside so i turned the F-Stops way up to 16 but it ended up a bit to dark...

I used clearzoom few times and most of the time it sucks balls, result is too soft/pixelated when mix the footage with another one with proper zoom on another angle in multiple cam setup during event/theater setup, ETC mode while gives you really good result without degrading sharpness except the increase in noise at lower light environment, though both wont offer you the same bokeh as proper zoom.

I pre-orderd the Smallcage GH5, for $44.50 its no brainer, and handle works well with the XLR adapter which all other cage miss it.
