    What's annoying for the rest of us that didn't vote for Trump and aren't even American is that you just know the camera manufacturers will use this is an excuse to raise prices in other regions as well, because they've been pushed into acting like a cartel by a madman with orange makeup.

    It's a bit like the world just getting over COVID and then some muppet in Russia gives us a war.

    The world was getting over a lot of supply chain and economic issues then the American public decided it would be a good idea to have a convict in charge of the government and go back to 1870s trade policies.

    That's greed for ya.  The consumer pays the price — BIG TIME! 

    As an American (that didn't vote for the Orange bomb) I dread it, but I see it through and hope that the nightmare is over.  A real shit-show in the making.

    I checked BH Photo and it is still $2499, maybe we will see a price drop tomorrow - first day of IBC. Seems like a good move for Blackmagic to make though I don't think they needed to lower the pock to $1036 to sell it, but still great news for those how were  considering purchasing either one.

    They just have to tease, do they?  It would be good to know.

    im close to puling the pin  on a speed booster originally i was going to buy one to fit the tokina 28-70 in nikon mount. but thinking about it further im probably better of getting one in ef mount. that way pretty much everything can be adapted via the ef mount. At the moment i have 7 pentax m42 and the tokina. So is there any flaws in my plan

    I have said lens when I tried it with the Original Pocket.  I got the Viltrox and it seem to work for me.  I've been contemplating on getting the 4K or the 6K.  Yet, once the P4K gets the firmware update, it will have something that would be close to Super16 crop.  Can't wait to see more.

    Is it just me or are a huge number of these videos being shot in high frame rates? I am actually started to get bored just seeing these HFR videos. Where are the nice 24p files? :)

    I agree!  That's the sweet spot right there.

  5. I have been intrigued last Thursday when they announced the 6k version of the Pocket.  Hits/misses, but very exciting times in the videography field.  I'm not gonna hold my breath in purchasing as I feel their stock can be a bit dicey.  I witnessed the P4K orders and long times for stock and ship so I'm not hard pressed - probably next year or a few until they are solid.  Funny they're pushing P6K fast than the P4K so, there you have it.

    How can we ever forget that episode "The Long Night".  Where the DP chastises the viewer that we need a new TV or calibrate in order to view - this coming from a Alexa or Red.  Like other's said, lighting is key to engage the audience, not leave out of it.

    Ah, it's funny that you said this.  As soon as I bought and installed the Microsoft HEVC extensions, all my H265 files in Resolve now read 'Media Offline'.  It was working fine prior to it.

    Now, I can't get back to where I was last night. I'm guessing there's no way to fix this except to buy the full Resolve version?

     

     

    Exactly @MeanRevert.  I'm pretty much bummed about that as well. :(

    Hey again fellas,

    Another newbie question if you'll so indulge..

    My system is struggling to playback the H265 Long GOP 4K files. Looking back on this thread, someone mentioned that QuickTime worked great but this is no longer supported on Windows. Any suggestions?

    Also, for editing, does Resolve or Premiere do a better job with these H265 files?

    Thanks in advance!

    In regards to Resolve, you may have to consider the studio version.  I tried the free version of Resolve with h.265 file and it won't read it even with installing the HVEC extension.  I had to transcribe to ProRes

    Bummer, I'll have to get something with a DC output. Thanks for the help again man

     

    Yeah man it'll compliment my XT3 nicely. I got the metabones SB now so its close to S35.

    Exactly.  I got some MD and Canon lenses especially the Tokina ATX Pro 28-70mm.  I'll be spotting for an adapter for the X-T3 until then.

  10. I still got my original Pocket, and still love it for what it is.  Not to go OT, but I may plan on getting the fujifilm x-t3 for the S35 vid feel, and use my OG as a B-cam or something for street shots or narrative work when the time comes.  I been hoping for something big w/ P4K, but I dunno.  I'm still keeping my trusted baby with me.

    true, aliasing is bad, so im shooting with fast [soft] lenses wide open, 360° and as you said adding a lot of grain (i like it anyway)) over original noise. not suited for clean work but to catch a moment its enough for me. here is another example of 100fps but with xh1; theres a lot of red so watch in 2160 quality (yeah its funny chosing 2160 option to watch 720-like footage but its YT compression bbe )): 

     

    Beautifully shot.  Did you use the Konica as well?

    No, the crop is obviously added on top of the native sensor size so it’s 1.17x + 1.5x (APS-C) .

    That’s nowhere near FF..

    So, for a video crop to shoot internal, would it be give or take Super 35 size?

    Yeah there is a crop if you want to shoot in Flog and view it as a film simulation like Eterna. So you either have to get an external recorder that can use a LUT to preview the image or just monitor with Flog in camera, or just deal with the crop. 

    I see.  Thanks.

    After doing a lot of tests, I haven't got the hang of removing purple frames from 1x3 bining mode though I am really satisfied so far with the MV1080p where I barely have to stretch footage in post. The graphic is amazing so far. I used a 2x Anamorphic adapter to capture the frames using the settings below in Dannes latest build. 

    Crop Mode: MV1080p 1736x1158
    Bitrate - 10bit
    Ratios - OFF

    RAW Video:
    Resolution: 1736x1158
    Aspect Ratio: 4:3
    Data Format - 14Bit Lossless

    Also, no aliasing or purple frames (at least for now)
    2x Anamorphic Adapter + SMC Takumar 50mm f1.4  @f2.4

    This is awesome.

     

    I haven't been successful with Danne's built - for I don't know exactly what I'm doing.  Who knew that Canon's EOS-M is right up there with the big boys.
