At the 8 minute mark of this video, another example of why 10bit is awesome.
 

Here are some 1080 JPEGS from a music video that I shot with the GH5 + SLR Magic anamorphic primes.
 

Same, @AaronChicago! Based out of Milwaukee, but I'm in Chicago all the time. If you ever need a hand or want to do lunch, let me know!
As for the video, the Ursa is obviously a step above the GH5(as expected), but I could get the two to match reasonably well in situations where I needed the GH5's smaller size/weight. Very much appreciate the test!

-5 on sharpening is always the way to go, unless you like the smartphone look.

I'm sorry to hear that, Jon! No 4G cell phone carriers there?
All the best,
E :-)
 
 
Here's the thread on topic:
From the GH5 AF complex system, I wouldn't find that even a trouble. There are workarounds, as possible to check it out. Just find them out.

Nice stuff.
Funny that Variety targets it for Facebook content creators... LOL

That Slingstudio system that they're talking about is very very interesting.
I've just been tearing my hair out trying to devise (i.e. cobble together) a more cost effective version of multiple Terradek Vidius and switching system to do some (very) small scale multi camera live outside broadcast stuff  and going backwards and forwards with different permutations of small hardware switchers, software switchers and no name hdmi to rtsp encoders.
This thing seems to do it all as one integrated and much more cost effective system.

Yes, he's pricing the NPfs at $30 a piece by the looks of it.
So 2 hours means he's using 2 x NPF at $30 each and the adapter at $50 so $30+$30$+$50=$110 
And then every additional 2 hours of power is $60 (2 NPF x $30)

From the original post on Cheesycam, someone ran a test on another LED light between a real v lock and two NPFs on the adapter.
Won't be absolute in terms of how long they will run this new Dacast of course because its on a different light but the comparative figures will be a good guide.
The advantage of the NPFs is obviously cost but also that they'll do double duty as there are numerous low cost powering solutions for cameras like BM and field monitors/recorders that use them.
From the original thread >>>
"I did a test on the CN-600s with a Beillen 150 Wh V-mount battery, and it lasts 3 hours. The cheapest 150Wh V-mount battery I see on Ebay, Lanparte brand, is about $200, and the Beillen --also Chinese-- is about $250. The dual-NPF solution is much more economical.
3 hours v-mount=$200-250
2 hours NPF+adapter=$110
4 hours NPF+adapter=$170
6 hours NPF+adapter=$230"

Always used generators for outdoor shooting but thinking about just using leds on the next project so curious how these batteries do time wise compared to each other for an led light like this. If the v mount is considerably better maybe buy one for each light and then rent batteries for long night shoots since you can just use ac indoors rather than dealing with several npf's for each light.

Curious decision at that price point to use V lock batteries.
I know Dracast do their own V locks so they'll be happy to sell you some to use with it but they're more than the price of the light itself.
A cheap light for a pro if you've got v locks kicking about already but not having it use NPFs makes it less so for everyone else?
Has anyone tried one of these NPF to V lock adapters?
The no name ones I've seen on Amazon seem to be supplied with a suspiciously large number of spare fuses!
 

Dracast is releasing these bi-color 1x1 v-mount flexible leds cri and tlci of 95 for $199 and a set of three for $499. Exciting lighting options for budget filmmakers coming out of nab this year. Great times for doc and indie shooters.

Well word on the DVXuser Forums is it is not going to be a standout on much of anything. I think it will be nice, but more of a C100ish camera. That maybe a hard thing to beat out, a C100, and a FS5. I  mean I am using a AF100A and loving it, but... I see no way they can sell a camera above the cost of 5000 bucks.  Maybe they will surprise us with some new things, I hope so. I am a Big Panny fan. I know I am not alone on here LoL.  But I know it will maybe out of my reach money wise. I don't see how they can top your FS5 for close to the same money. But we will know soon enough I guess.
This thing maybe cheap as hell and be a JVC LS300 competitor?? Who knows. It makes more sense to me. I think there is a void in that segment. You get up into 7, 8 grand you might as well buy a used Red, a used C300 mk something!

Well I will admit Red was just about as bad or worse for how long it drug out. Like I said before on here I actually had a deposit on the original Red One for over 9 months. I just gave up on it ever happening. Jannard was, and is a nice guy, but the Red One was vaporware for hell nearly  for 2 years. So I got my deposit back. I just gave up at that point. Worked out I guess, what I was going to use it for fell through, so... Startup stuff Does take time, but the Terra seems to be REALLY taking their time. This is at least their 3rd NAB.

Vaporware!

LOL : ) Another new quote of the thread!

Only...?
No BM pocket v.2 makes no sense, except for Ursa Mini Pro sales.

Yeah the new Blackmagic Video Assist firmware adds a Lot of nice things to it. Has to be my new pick. I need the SDI inputs, so even the 5" one works for me.

OK and a hybrid between A9 & C300mkii at $1000 

I was kidding when I said that the best thing out of NAB 2017 might turn out to be a working version of Premiere for the GH5. And we didn't even get that. 

BMD's customer service hasn't exactly been stellar either, and they're native English speakers so not sure the comparison really holds water. To me, the advantages of the Terra cameras over BMD are the higher ISO, less FPN in the shadows, lighter weight, cheaper media, ability to add speed-boosters, and more lens mount options. The Ursas obviously have native RAW support via Resolve and faster shipping times. and the UM Pro has native ND which is huge. They're very even competitors in my book, all the way to their near-identical pricing.

The comparative part of the test looks fine. So a nice finding that e-shutter gives rolling shutter (which you have to be aware of no matter what camera you use), but that the GH5 results in no lowering of picture quality.  As he states, e-shutter for highest quality, 6k photo for no rolling shutter. Nice!
He needs to objectively measure the flicker rate though as the ballast for fluros can have them at 10kHz or more. Comparative photos would have also been helpful with cameras above each other. A photo by itself showing rolling shutter is not a good science fair project result. Also that the 6k mode has additional video processing it applies to your selected photo that removes any remaining rolling shutter. 

Sort of like looking at a Sam Peckinpah movie while tripping on Acid LoL! I am not too big of fan of turquoise out the butt. But I REALLY liked how the actress was isolated using shallow DoF. Well done. Looked 3Dish, surrealist at times. Great stuff on that point. Overall I liked it a lot, but the over the top blue, well, ehh not so much..  but that is me, not others opinions.
