Jon Olsson mostly used the Leica Q, didn't he?

It's Jon Olsson's girlfriend Janni Deler that uses the Leica Q for her vlogs.

Jon Olsson's channel on YouTube was THE place to look at Leica SL footage until recent switch to RED Helium 8K and Sony A7sII.

IF Leica SL v2 is forthcoming, hopefully audio jacks will be built-in, instead of needing this adapter:

Nice to know, thanks mate :-)

Some expectations over here on a new Osmo. It would be nice to listen about a release for soon.

What is rumored, and at what price?

..... I am wondering, though, whether Rode would ever create a mic with dual recording (one fed into the camera, and one into an SD or MicroSD Card?). 

VideoMic HD was announced, but never shipped:

I'll be using GoPro Hero 5, Panasonic GH4 and Canon 1DxII to film BTS for upcoming project, where I'll have to hand over files to network client.  

What's the best way to embed my contact info, description, date, etc. into all the files?

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Have 1DX MKII users tested their units for the pixel/heating issues that were affecting the 1DC? 

Seems like a serious issue that some thought would carry over to the 1DX MKII...

Except, sensor in 1DxII is completely different dual pixel design.

I enjoy watching Matt Workman's Cinematography Database channel on YouTube.

I'd like to make RX100v more grippable, but didn't find any cages online.  Any suggestions or interesting mods would be appreciated.  For example, I'd like to somehow use usb battery as grip & to power the camera?

Even their CrystalSky monitors are interesting.....has anyone found pricing info, and can they be used as regular hdmi monitor?

I hope so, I would love to see a few improvements... Mic in, 5-Axis in 4K... Maybe that 200mbps 1080p. I can only assume it will be announced soon, especially since the LX15 doesn't have 5-Axis in 4K. 

Agree.

I think it would be great if there will be a normal, and wide zoom models.

Thanks everyone for suggestions.

I ended up getting Delkin-brand unit with ball head for ~ $25.

What's the latest regulations for flying these UAVs?

What's a good suction cup that can hold GoPro up to APS-C,

or is it better to get dedicated suction cup for each camera size?

Thanks in advance for every reply. 

Is successor to LX100 still expected, in the pipeline?

Interesting new lav mic option:

http://nofilmschool.com/2016/10/tascam-lavalier-belt

How about this recorder for lavs, shotguns, etc.?

The REC Remote app lets you control your recorder from a distance using Bluetooth™.

Start and stop recording, adjust recording levels and settings, even add track marks so you can easily find content quickly.
