You're joking right?

How so?

Hi Pat, Here's a comparison between F-log and S-log. Like Phil says, the Fuji lens lineup is pretty awesome. Currently, the widest Fuji lens is the 10-24mm f/4 OIS. 10mm in 4K crop mode is the equivalent of about 17mm in full frame.

Pistol grip gimbal by any chance?

Unfortunately not possible because of the earth's gravitational pull. Did you even bother to read this thread through before posting?

We can build pipelines, walls and prisons, why can't we build a camera?

And I want to see more aerospace technology in Ghana, more particle accelerator research in Namibia, more artificial intelligence laboratories in New Zealand. And the Germans - why do they keep producing those clinically oversharp computer designed multi-coated, multi-element lenses, and can't anybody make a medium format 4K camera for under $3,000?

???

I'm not familiar with the 7D, but there are plenty of videos showing Canon 5D cameras working with the Crane.

Yes, I'm quite certain the GH5 won't be able to do what Brandon Lee did with his a6500.

Since I just picked up my second Crane gimbal this evening, I thought I'd share this information. One of the reasons many filmmakers held back on purchasing an X camera, as well as one of the major complaints of online reviewers, was the lack of IBIS. When I searched online for videos shot with the X-T2 and the Crane, I only found a couple, and they were of execrable quality. So I went ahead and tried balancing the X-T2 on the Crane again just now, with the 35mm f/2 lens, and it took me all of 5 minutes to do. So any serious filmmaker who wouldn't consider the Fuji before because of the lack of IBIS alone now has another option. I will post footage sometime next week hopefully. Oh, and I know some will say, but yeah, now it's no longer a $1,600 camera, it'll run $2,200. Well, I think any serious filmmaker should probably have a gimbal in their kit anyhow.

If you're wondering why I'm quoting you, it's because I lost control of my keyboard. Anyhow, i just bought my second Crane this evening. It has several upgrades from the original Crane, making it much more usable. The grooves in the arms are longer, allowing for more adjustments. Cosmetically, the it's now pretty much all black, whereas before two of the caps were silver, so now it's more fashionable. Most importantly, and I commented on this months ago, the screws did not remain tight. Now, when turning the three screws, they have a much nicer feel, fit snugly and won't come loose. Zhiyun could have continued making the Crane the same way but they listen to user feedback and make changes.

Kidzrevil l is right, they both share the same 16MP sensor with no AA filter. The G85 has a chunkier body and OLED EVF, an SD card slot separate from the battery compartment, an AF/M mode lever on the body, it's weather sealed and has mic input and mic level adjustment as well as the choice of luminance levels 16-255 or 0-255. It also has CineLike for a flatter profile if you like grading footage. The G85 has a fully articulating screen. The IBIS is second gen, some people had problems with that at the beginning, but cameras shipping now have firmware update. Choose the GX80/85 if you want something pocketable.

GH5 Rolling Shutter looks pretty good here:

I have no grudge at all against Canon, like I said, I loved my little pocket camera when I had it. What does bother me is when professionals here always ask why I don't shoot with a Canon. Canon really does have a stranglehold on the market. But what do they know anyhow? People in these parts still believe that Heineken is a premium beer! So it is an encouraging sign that more and more, I'm seeing professionals shooting with Sony.

There really could be no higher endorsement than from someone who has actually owned and used the DJI Osmo Raw!

Brandon Li's tried the Beholder and the Pilot Fly too.

Here's a nice video shot with the a6500 and Crane by Brandon Li, using EOSHD Pro Color v2

Nice job. Handheld very steady looking with the IBIS, excellent sharpness, good exposures and color. Was this at ISO 6400? Was it straight out of the camera?

Here is the link to the downloadable footage. If you watch the video below at YouTube, you will find the link to the LUTs in the description.

I'm pretty sure Mr. Neumann avoided shooting at higher than ISO 1600, and in the woods scenes, he underexposed and lifted the shadows in post. If you want a general idea of the low light capability of the GH5, the closest thing we have at the moment are tests of the GX80/85 and G80/85. Personally, I'd never shoot higher than ISO 1600 with those cameras, but some members here say ISO 6400 is usable. I would have a look at them yourself and decide. Mr. Neumann shared his Vlog files, so I'm assuming he shot everything in log. His package of LUTs looks great by the way.

I wouldn't say Panasonic's colors are horrid - just 'meh'?.

I don't have a vast collection like you (yet- I'm working on it!), but I'd think the 16-55 and 50-140 would be too large on this compact camera, no? But sure, with a pancake, alright.

I was going to say GM1 too! You are a mind reader! But... no. ? I'm kinda liking my alternate identity.
