Again I thought it was way too dark, but there was definitely shadow detail in almost every scene. If anyone was seeing crushed blacks consistently, there probably is something wrong with their setup.

I watched it on my PC via HDMI through a Samsung LED (2017 model). I have my NVIDIA Control panel set to full (0-256) DR, and as a result blacks will get crushed if I used the "PC" setting (which expects limited DR) on my TV (this is also the setting my TV likes to default to when hooked up to the computer), instead I have to use "Game Console" setting (which expects to receive the full range), and things are fine (no other adjustments required). That being said, even with the correct settings the action was a mess. You can shoot low lite, and you can shake the camera (personally not a fan

So I did my shoot at an MGMT concert (after somehow getting my awkward, head-mounted metal rig past security). The footage is okay, but because I had to set up my rig in complete darkness, the IPD was a couple mm off. I think I can salvage it in post, but I just can't seem to find a good program that will allow me to make the lateral adjustment in post (some of the VR players -whirligig- so I can see that the adjustment will make it watchable). Any recommendation on free stitching software that could help? Resolve doesn't get me what I need, and I guess I will need to use the paid vers

So this looks like a merge between the BMCC, BMPC and BMPCC lines. Same sensor size as the original BMPC. And a form factor much enhanced but somewhere between the BMCC/BMPC and BMPCC in size.

Thanks! I've posted in the BMD forums and see if I get lucky!

Just got it up and running with the dual go-pro session 5s. I will post some clips soon. I ended up staying with the GoPros. While I considered the Z Cam E1, the need for additional lenses without providing better resolution a 60-90fps kept me with GoPro. The biggest challenge so far has been in post (Resolve) although most of my initial issues have been sorted. My jerry-rigged cage is actually effective (but ugly as sin). A couple of outstanding issues mostly related to Resolve: (1) Resolve Doesn't seem to have an option for using a 90fps timeline. Since I want the image t

Yes, changing the angle depending on the distance to subject seems to make a big difference in my testing, especially when things are close. You are basically using simple geometry to calculate the the angles given your inter-pupilary distance (IPD) and your range to target. Although, my first real project with this will be to try and film a concert (from essentially the front row) which should put me far enough away that the cameras will only have to be angled slightly inward (a fraction of a degree). That being said, I am going to go with the stock lenses so my effective FOV will be more l

So I am about to start building my own system to shoot stereoscopic VR180. Anybody else have thoughts or experiences they would like to share? The concept will be pretty simple: Two GoPro Session 5 cameras mounted on the same plane. Sitting between the plane and will be a gear system that allows me to calibrate the convergence of the two cameras depending on the distance. The gear system will also serve to insure that both cameras are angled the same amount. If people are interested, let me know I'll post progress/workflow/results.

Checked back into EOSHD for the first time in a while to see if Andrew would flame Canon for the 5D mk IV. Was not disappointed. Cheers! -

Tempted? Should you get a $6499 Canon C300 or wait until after NAB?
HurtinMinorKey replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
It's resolution may not be on par with the GH4, but the image seems much nicer. But the the $6500 doesn't really seem like a bargain as much as it just seems like closer to a sensible price.
