Well, to be honest seems to me the most simple alternative is to use microphones without phantom power or use a small mixer to provide that... Don't expect anything else ; -) https://www.dragonimage.com.au/saramonic-smartrig-2-channel-xlr-microphone-audio-mixer.html

That one made to come to my mind a classic:

1,100 g for Moza Air 1 as much as Zhiyun Tech Weebill Lab with the quirks. Moreover, much more affordable... ; ) Who from here has one to tell us about?!

I've heard Pocket 4K has been used on Moza Air which handles more than 3 Kg BTW: https://www.gudsen.com/moza-air-spec Seems the more interesting and most affordable solution for this camera by now. Any thoughts from any users here? What about how much hard is to set it up?

Really? Here: https://www.thephoblographer.com/2018/09/25/adapter-review-fringer-ef-fx-pro-tested-on-the-fujifilm-x-pro-2/ "The Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 that I used with this adapter did alright, functioning as I would expect it to most of the time, but occasionally having a weird glitchy focus or aperture change issue." What's your input from your experience with?

I don't see any inexplicable animosity against them. Only some skepticism from a few more centered in the other contenders. Those they mostly trust and want to feel confident with. It's all about that instead. I see these same usual suspects to salute the efforts of everyone, though. Also because the more players the better features and more affordable the gear is. Customers double their revenue. As well, those participants who understand better their own industry.

"It's a bit like Frankenstein..." (from minute 8:21) LOL : ) @Kisaha You're right, man! : )) We pay we want SOC metamorphosed to SOG : -D

For a simple reason, the matter is not centered on weight but form factor, that is, in two words: design and size. That's all! : ) Seems the doubt is most likely cleared up. Hopefully, Crane 3 LAB addresses the Pocket 4K... without quirks.

I only see advantage for MFT... Small and light gear, much affordable than the larger ones. Even though, FF is here to stay, I bet. APS-C is S35, the best commitment with bokeh you can find for focusing in motion picture.

My fear on the new and small size offer by them... Hope they are fully aware of this new tool without IBIS... but targeted to run-'n-gun filmmaking anyway as no one ever before (go figure 4K RAW for such price ; -)

GH5 is another ballpark and still very capable updated hybrid camera. Without mention, you can serve her with the same glass you use for Pocket 4K. Ignore the hypes, my most honest tip ; ) With fast glass you match APS-C, with a focal reducer, the FF look. Just my 2 cents though : -)

Two comments by my side: - Hybrid should mean IBIS in 2018, so maybe a good reason to wait for 2019 X-H2 ; ) Conclusion: I'd probably go with 6K -> 5K GH5 for now to follow the last firmware AF improvement. - Add a faster glass route other than f/2.8... f/2 for APS-C or f/1.7 for MFT and you'll be just fine on S35 look ; -) It is not hard, is it? : -)

I remind certain old debate on topic I had with another member here (a more frequent Sony user nowadays) once MY's misleading conclusions are dubious IMO (my old rant, I mean, not his camera option I guess and fairly believe a personal of his own anyway, based on Sony's FF route as seems so and much very likely). That's a way more territory of fact than only realm of opinion BTW : -)

Never felt him as more than a mere YT's pop thing. Well, I recall my doubts expressed over these same pages. Unfortunately, people respect his stats more than anything else.

People tend to believe one can't match another. Wrong : ) Reason why one of my fav Niels Bohr's quotes ends where you above incline to forget that a deep truth is a truth so deep that not only is true but it's exact opposite is also true ; )

BTW as usual, your perspective rocks, my friend ; )

My best bet is for Moza Air X. https://www.gudsen.com/moza-air-x Pity comes a bit late to 2018 party... The race will be with the most serious contender these days, even though a fair doubt on the Pocket 4K balance over there: https://www.redsharknews.com/production/item/5878-zheyun-techs-highly-compact-weebill-lab-gimbal-shows-gimbal-innovation-isn-t-dead In the meantime, my fav is the more dual handle versatile a2000: Here's a comparison by Antos: https://tomantosfilms.com/16385/gimbal-shootout-moza-air-feiyu-tech-a2000-zhiyun-tech-crane-v2/

The last update brought some new outcome from there: Interesting approach... this last one up there BTW ; -)

He NEVER finds the worst skin tone for Sonys... ; -)

From these posts: ...I've decided to launch this thread, I guess a lot of us are looking for. Your tip(s)?

I bought mine from Kickstarter. Never received though. I recently entered in touch with the CEO, he told me he would fix that : -)

Both perpectives stand. I also appreciate our Greek fellow's criticism. Constructive criticism should always be welcome : -)

Pertinent question indeed, Don : -)
