Yes this video so absolutely incredible haha

Another vote for Camera Conspiracies. 
Doesn’t get everything right but he’s having fun and trying. Transparent and honest and not afraid to make fun of himself. Very refreshing in the 2024 Douchtube space. He will take a theory and go out and shoot to test it. 
 
I’m tired of camera reviews and gear videos but I watch these 5 channels pretty consistently and find inspiration here. Some thoughts below.

What drives me crazy these days is the lack of originality and this insane copycat culture. A trend will start and all these people jump on the craze and suddenly it’s everywhere. 
 
Over using promist and “cinebloom” filters. Low saturation and washed out grading to replicate film. Too much film grain added. Nostalgic for an era many of these gen Z never experienced. 
 
Holding the lav mic or transmitter in their hand while filming themselves. Using an old school handheld mic to be ironic and different. 
 
Neon tube lights behind them at their butcher block workbench desk from Home Depot. Then cutting to close up shots with the plastic engineering mat desk protector. 
 
It’s just gotten so, so boring to hear people read the camera specs to me off the website with no original thinking or unique take on any of it. 

Simply hilarious...
So actual... : ) This usual (un)suspect is actually more often brilliant than not ;- )

@eatstoomuchjam Nice to know more about you and your insights, much appreciated indeed : ) and thanks for your findings :- )
Still wondering about it, though then:

No idea why that silly light anyway : D
 

They're all pretty bad/cringeworthy now, but sure - here's one where you can see me confused by the Osmo Raw.
 
Apparently airflow matters a lot.  While it ran for about 13 minutes the other day and merely felt warm to the touch, I set it up by the window of my house today.  The house is about 25C inside, but there's no breeze like there was by the river aside from it being a bit warmer.  After 12:10 of recording ProRes 120p, the BlackMagic app stopped recording due to high temperature.  When I picked up the phone, it was uncomfortably hot and so was the CF adapter.
So rolling long takes at indoor concerts doesn't seem like it'll be a thing!

These guys already have it on small form factor:

Pity no option for the best of them (Insta360 Ace Pro) too so far...

Listen Marty, I will be very straightforward and friendly as always with you.
1 - Yes, I am not upset.
2 - Life is well beyond art, filmmaking, whatever.
3 - I admit people can be lot of times committed with creating beauty and all that stuff.
4 - But admit you too : ) when you have "gazillions" (as you call it : ) of concerns (let alone private/personal/family life... I brought a 94-year old aunt, like a mother to me, from hospital today where she was with a multilobar pneumonia all week long in the same year I've lost my father just in less than a minute) on keeping your business running up where you need many people to help you in your team... you probably are less focused or even don't give a damn for deep discussions on this or that aspect of aesthetics or technique or even some other angle.
5 - Do I praise a smartphone look? Have I ever purchased an iPhone yet? (a rhetorical interrrogation to respond some other)
6 - They have delivered ProRes from an external device recording, Log and now 4K 120fps.
7 - It's not where 4K 50p/60p distinguishes from 120fps because they actually do (for some reason there's a "p" versus "fps" there ; )
8 - I wonder then on their new thermal management which claims to be 2 to 2.5x superior now.
9 - That's where I am focused. I won't change the world, unfortunately. Apple or pure marketing other than electing the wrong one to the White House which is actually prone to bring some effective difference to our world instead wherever we belong to... phew, that is, everything else doesn't bother me at all.
10 - That said, I think of 4K 120fps on mobile side without overheating as an extra layer of income. When your team stands as your primary way of thought. So, not because of a high life standard or alike. But operating in a complex industry like this one digital has brought nowadays, any open gate for increasing our chances of a survival suit is an oxygen breath.
 
And remember:
I) The best camera is not that cinematic one but the one you're able to bring with you when you'll need to ; )
II) Digital has fiercely this meaning too.
 
Probably why me and @eatstoomuchjam, who is the same of those other threads cine-like related but also praises miniaturization after all, both share here the same pages of this thread.

Anything pales in the light of tragedy and some things give us comfort in harsh times, sometimes opportunity. For me it was the GX85 which helped me to get through and to cope. I used to carry it with me every day, not around my neck but in my backpack. I mean, Roger Deakins wouldn't carry his camera around the neck after all!:) My kindest thoughts to you and your aunt, dear Emanuel. I am sorry about your dad. I hope you can find more and more comfort day by day in your friends and your art and the positive things around you. Please forgive my harsh tone and words. best, Marty

Sure - one thing that might be nice in terms of not missing the moment is that now you can raise the phone and push a button and it will instantly load a photo/video app which is faster than it used to be.  But if you're worried about missing a moment, no amount of speed improvement will help.
A lot of people prefer a bigger phone!  If I could, I'd take an even smaller phone.  If they put the 16 Pro guts in a 16 body, I'd probably take that instead.  The ideal would be a Zoolander-sized smartphone (maybe it could have a projector for the screen).  😀
 
You can turn down the screen brightness a lot if heat genearted by the screen is a concern.
I meant to try it the other time, but my attention span isn't so long.  It's the same thing that I realized during the brief time when I considered becoming a YouTube camera reviewer.  Maybe I'll try again today.  I could point it out the window or something and leave it while I work.  

Just arrived:

I went for a walk in the park yesterday and took a few minutes to check things out.
It was about 21C here yesterday and I was by a river so the entire area was in the shade because it's down in a valley.  The setup is a filter adapter that connects by Magsafe and the Angelbird CF express adapter which connects with magnets to that.
I set it up on a rock and rolled 4kp120 ProRes in the Blackmagic Camera app with the 1x/24mm equiv lens.  Sometime between 4 and 8 minutes, the BM app started showing a warning on the record button which seems to indicate that the camera is heating up.  At 13 minutes, I got bored and stopped the recording.  The phone was a bit warm to the touch.  The CF Express adapter was warmer.  At least for me, I don't expect that there will be a lot of times when I need to roll 120 fps for 10+ minutes.  Detaching the reader from the phone would probably help with cooling.
After that, I played around a bit with the phone.  I really like the 5x lens (not sure if I like it enough to replace the 3x) - but I ran into a bug in the BM app where stabilization gets weird with the 5x or 0.5x lenses.  It jumps around a lot.  Hopefully they fix that soon.

Any update on this front, mate? ; ) 4K 120fps?

I'll be picking mine up tomorrow.  Maybe at some point, I'll plug in an external drive and see how long it can record without overheating.  🙂

My magnetic filter holder and Angelbird CF reader/writer showed up today.  It's a bummer to have to take off the case to put on the filter holder, but there are worse things and the camera's pretty comfortable to hold with both stacked on.  It could be that I finally have a decent 4K pocket camera.  😉

From the perspective of using it with an ATEM, this camera is stupendously good.
With the ATEM MINI ISO, you do your live stream with the cameras (and have full remote control over everything in it), and it saves your switching as a project file for Resolve.
Afterwards you load the file into Resolve, get your full switcher performance back (which you can then tweak) and automatically replace all the video elements with the 4K BRAW files from the cameras.
It is fantastic.
Imagine then not adding a Bluetooth capability to let the camera be operated remotely without the ATEM.
It’s not like you are then offering a free lunch as if you want all the extra capability that the ATEM offers then you need to buy an ATEM anyway.

More (3.7x-10x) here or there.
 
Any takers already among us?

I forgot:
- great stabilization! 

Fully agreed... Insta360 Ace Pro remains the king over here even before the new model people say is coming soon.
