Making a camera is not easy at all! Let's hope DJi surprises are. Specs are nice, but results is what counts!
-
Which focus aid type? Focus aids like peaking/digital punch-in/global sharpening/chroma draw/ don't require electronic lenses, they work on everyhing with a focus ring.
1:1 sensor punch-in
-
It's great to see some companies are trying to make cars, instead of making cheaper or faster horses!
-
Peaking? well, I find a 1:1 sensor punch-in to be a MUCH better focus aid than peaking.
Of course the focus-aid just work with electronic lenses??
-
The only problem I see is lens support, which right now is limited to only two third party lenses, both of which are fairly wide.
You are mostly forced to wide-angles and large DOF, or you need a focus-puller. What we need is a good wide-angle prime with optical stabilization! And learn to walk without bouncing! ;-D
Hope it handles the aded weight or a speedbooster + lens.
The more weight you add, the worse it works and the more power it needs.
Even the Osmo X3 seems like a valid option. It cost's the same of a GoPro with gimbal. I love the compactness.

DJI is the BMD of flying cameras! ;-D
I wasn't very convinced about the remote focus (perfect for the Ronin, not for drones), but this is really interesting. And their cameras seems to be improving all the time. As fuzzynormal says their first cameras were much worse than GoPros, but they are surpassing them now.....
-
BM in capable hands produce awesome results! It's a pity they harm themselves with this stupid way of presenting products when they are not ready!
-
Ursa can record ProRes directly
-
Imagine if this happened when you already had footage on there! You could either reformat or stop shooting...
This sort of thing makes me nervous about using bridge cameras and consumer cameras for paid work...
Our work and reputation depends on this little plastic cards.......

It does look interesting. There's one video specifically with the my camera and lens too. I'm just hesitant because of not reading much about the company (bad or good) anywhere.
I have a MiniSturdy Flight since the beginning of September. Jacopo, the owner/crazy inventor lives at 8Km/5miles from me, so it was great just going there, talking with him and having the gimbal set up for my Panasonic LX100. Took it on holidays with and didn't treat it exactly nice, it was on a too little bag but it survived well! The gimbal is very well built, the battery last forever (with the LX100). For my use, it's very nice. It takes out the roughness of hand held. You probably can use the start, the movement and the end of your shooting. I could use it even zoomed out (75mm equivalent) if not walking.
The nice thing about an electronic gimbal it's that even if it's not perfectly balanced, the motors compensate. It gives some weight and "look" to the LX100. The not so nice things, when you turn it on, it must be still, you can't turn it on while in a car, for example. And if you use weird angles (mostly too tilted up/down) it sometimes goes crazy, you must stop it with your hand. Those are probably common to all other gimbals.
Jacopo is a serious&honest people. He can probably pre-calibrate it for your NX1. Ask him!!!
Edited to add: I love that I can see the LCD of the LX100. No need to use an external monitor with the MiniSturdy Flight!!!

Wow! That's great news!!!!!

It's funny those conversations of "film high quality" when most of what film offers are defects. Lovely defects though!!! It looks great, your actors are very good and it brought memories of my own childhood!!!
Now a new thread is necessary: what do you have in your fridge?? ;-DD
-
The other day my Panasonic LX100 told there was no SD, my heart stopped for several seconds! I was in the middle of nowhere and didn't have a proper SD backup. The SD was inside, I restarted the camera and it found it and I formatted it.
Memory cards are important!

On the Ronin yes, of course. It's on the drone which is useless!
-
DJI has created a follow focus for drones. Only problem, you will probably fly further from objects than hyperfocal distance, so it's probably the piece of gear nobody will use.

What were you doing at the weight room?
He lifts 300 times a 1 pound weight! ;-DD
It won't be your first and last job, so ask what you would like to get. If they ask for a discount accept it. The better you get, the more you can charge!

It shouldn't be your only screen though

It's nice to check it on a smartphone or tablet, but it can't be your only monitor!
Nick thanks a lot for the link!!!!!!

Storage ideas
In: Cameras
I will be moving house soon. I have to store the gear in a compact/ordered way. If you are proud of your storage skills, can you post a picture of how you do it?? Some suggestion?? Using Ikea/common furniture is preferred to high-end solutions. Thanks!

I don't use RAW, but aerials is one area where it really makes sense, exposure changes a lot!
Choosing camera+lens to rent

Why don't you make your movie so good that you can shoot it with an smartphone??
Using money to rent gear you have never used, it's a really nice way to loose money. If you need serious photography, find a low-budget DOP.
