Wonder how different can be the result from same camera! My personal conclusion from this test is to use as output profile Arri Alexa LogCtoREC709 LUT or DragonColor/REDgamma ONLY. ACES has potential but needs developing and implementation of some kind of proper contrast/gamma curve. Without it its unpredictable crap.
YRGB BMMCC DNG -> ARRI LogC timeline -> Arri Alexa LogCtoREC709 LUT

YRGB BMMCC DNG -> ARRI LogC timeline -> DragonColor2/REDgamma3

ACES BMMCC DNG -> BMDfilm input -> REC709

YRGB BMMCC DNG -> ARRI LogC timeline -> REC709

YRGB BMMCC DNG -> BMDfilm timeline -> BMDFilmtoREC709 LUT

YRGB BMMCC DNG -> BMDfilm timeline -> BMDFilmtoREC709v2 LUT

Testing with Andoer cage and angle D-Sub adapter. It really fits perfect! Still waiting for a present co-developed cage from SmallRig...

Just a metal plank with two (or better three) holes with $7 Pistol Grip Handle For Binoculars/Monocular. The handle screwed directly to monitor! Very simple, compact and way better balanced for handled shooting than pistol grip at the bottom. Also angle HDMI adapters helps a lot.

To be clear i got answer from Tessive support.
So maybe will do some tests today with this plugin today. I also tested 60fps on BMMCC yesterday and there is a problem. When you shoot with 60fps/360shutter and then conform to 24 fps, the rolling shutter seems becames 2.5 times more stronger too. 

I came up with a similar option...


I took a cheap half cage made for the pocket and attached it to the micro (they have the same height dimensions) and then attached a Slik quick release base to the top of the cage and the plate to the bottom of the monitor.
Then I used a manfrotto quick release plate on the bottom of the cage and attached the base to a cheap L-Bracket... This way I can go handheld or attach it to my manfrotto tripod.
It's still a little too clunky for my taste, so I may sell the Ikan 5" monitor and pick up the newly released 3.5" monitor.
I also need to figure out a way to attach a neck strap to it. 

A little update. Drilled more holes in metal plank to add more space between camera and grip. Add grip and shoulder mount from vintage 8 mm camera "Krasnogorsk". Seems its stronger, more compact and more ergonomic than modern China grip.
Next need to add external PWM Rec/Stop button somewhere.

There is Tessive TIME SHAPER app but seems it needs more than 60fps source to mimic film looking motion blur http://tessive.com/time-shaper-info/

Finally got mine through. I've done a few blind test shots with some old Angeniuex glass and the picture quality is superb.
It's going to be a shitter to rig properly though...

Anyone use this? Seems precise made and inexpencive (US $9.90 on ebay) compare to other rings. http://proactivegr.com/gears/
The gears are designed for ANY LENS diameter from 50 to 93mm! Separate gear made for each diameter of 1 mm increments! The gears are made of rigid polyurethane, that stretches a little bit, when you put the gear on. The correct form of the teeth module 0.8.  

preliminary test is wiping out the lines 100%. 

1. Shot gray card out of focus at a light level that seemed to maximize the vertical lines.
2. Brought that clip into DaVinci and used Temporal NR to remove noise, leaving the lines intact. Raised it to 50 IRE. Removed all color. Then applied the inverted color LUT.
3. Exported that as a single frame 12bit dpx.
4. Re-imported and applied as a matte. Layer mixer set to Overlay blending mode.

and that's it. right now there is a slight shift in gain. which means I need to dial in how neutral the 50% gray is. it's a little too bright right now. I want to get it so it doesn't affect anything but the lines. Also wondering if I could use a luminance secondary to limit it just to the shadows.

It's documented here...

short version is, they acknowledged the FPN in the initial DNGs I sent them. did their own tests when I sent my camera in. said the camera was "normal". I sent more DNGs I had as well as a side by side comparison with my Pocket (same sensor, different hardware). said they could only replicate what i was seeing by boosting exposure in post two stops. however, which is confusing to me because my DNGs had zero post processing. Despite that, they offered to send me a replacement but didn't think it would make a difference. I agreed to roll the dice on a replacement, but I also doubt it will be any different. It should arrive today via Fedex.

yeah, it's going to arrive today via fedex. looking forward to seeing how it compares to my first one.

at the nab ikan announced new 3.5 monitor/evf with 4k support
 

This looks great too btw, gotta ditch my 663/O/P2 for this:
 

This is an idea as well;
