Emanuel

Yeah, I had seen that funny Napolitan... Not bad shooter at all, who would say? I can assure you my spoken English is more closer to Andrew's and our good fellas : ) Well, be careful with "your" links or some dude can pop up and accuse you to spread "affiliate links" over us rich crowd... Shame on you pal ; ) trying to take profit of us your brothers in community ! LMAO : D oh how stupid I am, I forgot now who the OP is... Not you but that 'Emanuel' can only be a Chinese in disguise polluting this forum with garbage! LOL You were fully right! New threads are a beast! ; -) In a more serious note, I am receiving that gimbal these days as well, I think I am tempted to push the button from such bargain and order a 2nd unit taking their pack offer with the lens rather than the secret perk. Same discount anyway. Any idea on the performance of that thing? I won't have time to test it before the deadline.

A colleague of mine just bought one unit same specs, brand new, sealed box, $550, same seller from the contact forwarded from me. He told me they still had a few units in stock. Seems old stock. I've just written them to ask for replacing the one I bought used ($400) paying the difference obviously.

This is what I simply hate about the legacy of Japanese cameras. They want to make us stupid, the impression left. Or that we need to be all geeks. They are the stupid part of the equation. Not the users. Without mention photography requires a minimalist operator interface. ISO, shutter, and access to a simple menu to mainly coordinate a few automatic or monitoring features if needed, WB and not much else. The example of the upcoming Sharp 8K. Blackmagic, as for example, is a breeze. Long live Aussies! : -)

Digital world didn't revolutionize only the access to shooters, also the open gate to production from supply side and its manufacturing players. To deny it because of elitist tradition is to underestimate innovation and the easiest way out to stay away from future to pop up there around the corner. Seems to me the customary blind "patriotism" as a certain wing intends to neglect China or Chinese products. Pure BS. RED or Blackmagic cameras, as much as Apple or HP computers, for example, are not independently made in the origin, well, what origin? LOL ; ) - E.

HP i7 processor, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, $700 new, $400 used. I have a US distributor. If you want, send me a PM. I can send you their email address. New comes with two years of warranty here in Europe just because of European legislation and they told me they cover US warranty in the same way. I guess in the US it is only one year. Used I bought it with six months. Same supplier.

So, can we infer links are more acceptable in discussions already open? You don't support new threads, is that so? Without mention unknown off brand products as you call it. I'll tell you quite frankly, elitism is a way off in these digital days, mark my words ; -)

He did something really unique during the release presentation of The Baldlands, he composed the score and interpreted it in a live concert during the movie screening, go figure, as you can watch in these two clips: No idea yet, it can happen : ) My ultimate goal is always the movies. I produced with Spike Lee as Executive Producer a short doc in Indonesia, no regrets ; ) But for now, there are only funds to be managed : -)

I spoke with Bernie, the writer/director and producer in 1998 for first time when we were attending the same classes, second day. Yet years away his Sound department specialization in the same alma mater. Beyond his screenwriting skills already praised by everyone then. We were arriving at the train station going to film school that morning when he told me about his ultimate dream to move to NZ, can you imagine? : D Like that, we were in Lisbon, Portugal, he wanted to go to the other side of the world in his early 20s. He's currently applying for his NZ passport/citizenship he told me so a few weeks ago. His second half today is a NZ doctor. I never went there in your country, unfortunately, so far ; ) Even though, my current financial commitment with Australian third parties. I only helped him from Europe at distance. I was in-between ex-YU, mainly Montenegro (but also Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia) when one or other shots were taken basically stock footage, Kiev, Moscow and the air bridge Rome-Lisbon, obviously. Giving him a hand, both creatively and for funding/marketing to also comprehend to organize the successful crowdfunding campaign as much as I've done with other participations of mine either in Europe, UK or US.

Both in my arsenal list... ; -) I understand David (and you too BTW) ... Just because there are much interesting other options and even more affordable right now out there! : -)

Oh yeah, I just bought two gimbals like new for almost peanuts... : ) They lose value as soon as they end open box. A 16GB RAM tablet (100% same specs and model of the one I'm typing now also purchased from a fraction of the price) last week for a seventh of the price in my native market! This is producing, production value just on another level! : D

F900, David... Yes indeed, you're right and it fairly was the case, the year is 2001 and we were just finishing the film school (in my personal story of life, the first level -- editing*, directing came two years after), thinking to split it in 52 shares as many weeks the year has. To also match different needs and pockets, obviously. When DVX100 and subsequently HVX200 later (despite that pixel shifting controversy) popped up (E : -) * One of my mates was from your department (sound), he is producer and director today and I helped him to co-produce the next piece of work : ) Once I was accused : D up there to not give a damn for my content activity, even though, this forum I guess is gear oriented not for showing up our ego LOL because there's a right place out there for that, here is a re-post of the trailer for the feature we were able to shoot on a stock 5D Mark II (so, no ML hack there) half a dozen years ago, released the following year:

That was another thread. You misunderstood my line. I see now you even edited your last post after my response, wondering about any money issues at my side. WOW Thanks for your concern and attempt to understand my own anyway. No, I am okay, no financial motivation at all : ) Mere enthusiasm and love from the geek inside me and for my fellow members in this community, as well, the pleasure of sharing and a good discussion as opportunity of learning, self-taught myself. He is used to be here to gather information to buy equipment for his filmmaking activity. How do I know this? I am old here. This forum has 10 years, I am member since 2012. That guy had another username before the current one, perfectly identified BTW. His field is the real estate business. He is cinematographer and producer doing architecture photography, specialized in that specific business. I posted about some gear I found interesting for that regard and his scope. Reason why I kid with him. I've actually made good friends on the boards meeting them in private mode when not bringing them to the real world contact outside as well FYI. I don't mind to support and push the unheard, uncharted yet... unknown off brand products as you call it, because they serve all of us, this art and craft. It is how this industry (I love) comes through. Happy to see new small brands to get out of the closet to launch on new ventures (provides competition, better to us all) and youth commit with, in a métier as easy to deal as nowadays (E : -)

oh God, that was a (friendly) joke with another fellow user! I check now how dangerous is to make jokes over here... LOL You @Super8 also put me in your list, I see ; ) Very well, thanks for your attention! LOL : ) No, as written above there and endlessly before, I have no connection at all with these products. It happened with that gimbal because I was looking for some light setup for the Blackmagic Pocket. Once committed I immediately put any business contact outside the boards and if you follow up that thread, you'll see I didn't refrain to post some other links to alternative products. I'd be in very bad shape if I'd need to "make some bucks" over such business. That's what I'm trying to tell you. But you asked before that phrase of mine, only written now in my last post (the devil is in the details), not to follow it. If some product is still to be launched it is natural the only videos about the product that you'll find, they are promotional ones yet. The "aggressive manner" is either of the marketing material which leads you to infer to be connected with me. Or then, sorry to be so persuasive on my enthusiasm expressed in my words! LOL We are not all the same kind! I think people can praise the times we're all living in, anyway... Twenty years ago still in the film school, I was trying to convince my colleagues to enter in a buyer group to invest $103,000.00 only for a digital camera unit. I notice the difference when you can buy now a 4K 60p H.265 200Mbps bit rate capture device for less than 200 bucks... That's where your beef against my posting started, isn't it? What's the trouble? Prices are going lower and your P6K looks like expensive all of a sudden?! : D I disagree that the Snoppa Vmate is a knock off product as you call it. Have you seen the differences with the Osmo Pocket posted in that thread BTW?

Again @Super8 ? Hard to follow me, humm? ; ) I've already been answering you, I guess this is the third one* in a row now! *sigh* Do you have any clue what an affiliate link is, by any chance? And no, I didn't follow Barry Green career either, even though my total respect by his professionalism. You and everyone would know if or when I'd be committed with any of these products. Didn't you quote that thread where occurred to have work with some gimbal manufacturer? Didn't I mention it as disclaimer refraining myself to sell the product, forwarding any eventual business to outside far away from there? Didn't you read me announcing despite that, I just bought two units from another brand as end-user I also am? The world happens to be colourful ; ) As much as a medical doctor who ends to be patient one day as everyone, I am final customer too. Geek or enthusiast or yet, a fellow member of this community to share with all of you certain findings to cross my daily life I believe to have merit of interest or mere curiosity to other people as well. Yeah, I am a provider but supplier of discussion! LOL The fact I receive many information from everywhere or I am a good researcher -- pardon for my lack of modesty here, this doesn't mean I post to make a few bucks. I am not even a seller, but a producer of content (not gear), that's it. * EDIT -- Just checked: fourth! Phew...

Andrew, I know you have your reasons as far as Blackmagic concerns, but I've been loyal Panasonic customer (before to jump there, Sony was my first video and digital love) until the day I started to use the Pocket series. Never wanted to look back. That's a cinema tool but not only in the name : ) 12-bit but not only, focus assist or the camera interface, as for instance, make the WHOLE difference to me (E : -)

New concept all in one: https://www.powervision.me/eu/product/powereggx About a grand (from $899 to $1249), seems available in March.

Beyond the shitty YT encoding, obviously, despite that, I don't think this will beat the QooCam 8K camera 10-bit quality to be pretty sincere here:

Well, no hard feelings, I hope you're only kidding as you say and you pretend to show you just struggle to understand how an affiliate link works ; ) Something terrible with generalizations and how danger they can become is when people take some episode beyond the real limits. Love reality, even on the screen, arts, etc. Fantasy is not my beach actually. No worries, you can take any disclaimer of mine as much as my silence when due in the most transparent way, either of gear of my liking and attention or when not. I rather appreciate to be useful whether as professional party whether as end-user. FYI since you make mention here, I'm just buying two different lighter gimbals (paid this morning) other than the brand I made the option to not publicly spread from my business connection with and forward to my private messaging exactly in order to prevent the kind of presumptions you've recently made. Someone (also member here today BTW) once described me as brand agnostic. I am not the only one for sure, neither typing anonymously over here ; -) Something you'll never see from my part is to be a shill or someone in disguise. No idea about you, seems you know more about my large posting activity along these boards than I can from the fewer participation your username is able to show so far. But I still am even able to offer my honest opinion against my own backyard if/when necessary. Honest kamikazes are much more trustful than a liar pretending to be who is not.

One doesn't replace the other or they wouldn't be willing to offer modularity, isn't it? ; ) I am buying both of routes BTW, how they can be fairly compared for a double weight? Let alone different features such as the pure action cam concept vs VR 360 capture (Qoocam 8K is far to be an action camera), 3D module or even distinct sensor size or resolution. C'mon... : -)

There's no impressive reframing I've seen so far to be straightforward. This doesn't mean it can't be useful, it is, I firmly believe will variably end handy. But, my impression is basically made on 10-bit and successive low light response and colour fidelity. What other device you have for that so light form factor, humm? ; -) Let's reframe and refrain the whishful thinking... No capture device tools you've heard about will likely suppress those ones you already are aware, that well-known functionality to serve your needs. Horses for courses : ) That said, be ready for this game changer! LOL How to neglect 8K 360º acquisition? : -)

Fair explanation. Not recommendable to white balance when we shoot braw, you say, is that so?

Hey, Nelly Furtado is 100% Portuguese genes. As much as bokeh has photography genes too! But you can call 'the light' to both of them! ; -)

Thanks God for that! : -)

LMAO For some reason a mediocre scene opens with the establishing shot, modern cinema decided to invert the place ; ) Go with Meike ones, they won't break your bank account! :- D

I read, just wondering why not WTH?! : ) Where's any little to no breathing present there is unacceptable?? You have there only one situation where it is a bit visible... Let alone it is the traditional open wider FOV to match the traveling effect shot if any or minimal. People spend money on dollies for that! : D Oh gosh, I am in the film industry for decades and something I can assure you all, certain FUD I read over online boards at times is absolutely nonsense or mere BS : P I wonder how many people here are used to watch movies, without mention classics... LOL : -)
