Likely the only way you can find out is by trying it yourself! Or asking the manufacturer if they're passing timecode or not. As I'd imagine some external recorders would still be passing the record trigger through their HDMI output, but I bet there are some recorders which could end having stripped that out in the process.

haha, not in a good way! I think you're a little too harsh on the F series, I reckon they hold their own (or beat) the MixPre series (with the possible exception of limiters, but depends on how hard your style of shooting is pushing them, and depends on how much of improvement this look ahead style limiters will be).

In my view the Sony UWP-D11 are the "best" right now from all the "no budget wireless" (i.e. not Zaxcom/AudioLtd/Wisycom/Lectrosonics/etc). But G3/RodeLink are ok enough if you get a screaming good deal on them secondhand. If I was filming with a Panasonic GH5 by myself without a sound recordist, then I'd very seriously be considering a Panasonic DMW-XLR1 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1304877-REG/panasonic_dmw_xlr1_xlr_microphone_adapter.html Other alternative is getting something like a Tascam DR60Dmk2 or MixPre3 etc to just wear on me while running with the GH5, to then later on sync up. (as for that H4n, just do the world a favor and chuck it in the bin)

Rather have lenses with interchangeable mounts for DSLR and PL mount as well. But if going for mirrorless only mounts, it seems Veydra instead is the ones to beat. I could imagine many people preferring H265 for the much smaller 4K 10bit file sizes, while raw would be huge. Especially as today is now years after the NX1 release (which unfortunately was "too early") and H265 is becoming a bit more accepted in some workflows.

Uses a portable recorder with a USB powerbank that is usually used by gamers to record their sessions, all for a total cost of under a hundred pounds.

Watch his video, this is exactly his point, it is all these non-sensor / non-codec stuff which people need. But essentially the days of pixel peeping might soon be "over" (like it is in the stills world already, or so he claims).

Note I said: Because with 4K 60fps raw, and even greater HD slow motion, and pretty high DR and good lowlight, what really is left? Of course just like the folks in the stills world there is a never ending list of "more" wanted! But I reckon just like the stills world we might get soon to point we can worry less about the technical quality of the image, and more about everything else. (such as ergonomics, or having built in NDs, I/O options, TC, wireless, or focus tracking, etc)

I agree with him, in the photography still world the technical performance has plateaued out, with only incremental improvements now. When will we reach this in the video world? I reckon the BMPCC4K could be the beginning of the end.

Sony has 14bit raw (with for instance their F5/F55, which I've shot raw with, BIG files!). https://www.newsshooter.com/2014/03/11/shooting-raw-with-the-sony-f55-and-r5-recorder-just-how-good-is-it-asks-matt-allard/

People have an investment in their lens collection, and Metabones allows people to use that with a new camera without buying a whole new set of lenses.

They're still slower than built in ones. And you can't use it with a focal reducer, or with native lenses.

Hold your horses, too early to call this a "FS5mk2" release! Welllll... quite the opposite, we can say clearly this is *not* a FS5mk2 release! As there will be hardware improvements (while the FS5mk2 we can skeptical if there are any hardware changes....) Remember, this F8n is only a couple of hundred dollars more than the launch price of the F8, is that worth it for a handful of improvements? (some which are very much wanted, such as line/mic switchable XLR inputs and headphone amp improvement) I reckon that is worth it for a couple of hundred dollars. This. The F8n will probably have small cache, perhaps 10ms or less. So it can "look ahead". Some other recorders/software does that. Six hundred dollars more than the F8n, will it be worth it? I'm very skeptical if it will be. We'll find out soon enough!

I'm proud of the fact that I have now finally caught up and read EVERY post on this entire 50+ page thread.

I want to see the reaction on reduser when you share that image I'd rather have an internal eND than have 4K 60fps

Exactly my thoughts too, I'm expecting a smoother roll out than some other BMD camera launches. Yup, normal workflow again for cameras without the ability to apply LUTs. But a pity that a camera which can apply LUTs (this new Pocket) doesn't have an extra output option to fully make use of this (maybe the USB-C is an option here like someone else mentioned). Love they've got a full size HDMI output, but what if they'd had a full size HDMI *and* a micro HDMI output?! Interesting, does the UMP have "extended video"? I've never seen it on the BMCC/BMPCC. I am surprised they didn't just GLUE the cards into the slots on the cameras (as it is an easy part to replace themselves after the tradeshow).

That wouldn't be the CROWDs financing it. It would be a bank (or similar) doing the funding, and even then the funds are not given (like a kickstarter campaign is) but is simply loaned.

Hmmmm.... that is an interesting thought.

It is normal for many brands across many industries to be comfortable to say one thing in person but not be comfortable for it to be filmed for the entire WORLD to then see. Ah yeah, I remember that popping off! That was funny. Must have given Grant a mini heart attack.

Is a pity it doesn't have more than one output from the BMPCC4K, as then you could have a LUT on one output for the client and no LUT for your own monitoring. Damn it!

How do you make the BMPCC4K be a pocket camera? By folding it up! Be a bit of a waste of a BMPCC if I only ever used it on one wedding.

Raw to the CFast and 720P ProRes Proxy files to the SD card for folks like me who have a totally useless PC to edit on with a proxy workflow.

The GH5 and BMPCC5K sensor are very different? It is the GH5S and BMPCC4K sensors which have a similarity. (emphasis mine) I've used the BMPCC almost naked while running around like a headless chicken at weddings.

I'd assume/hope so, as that is just an extremely normal workflow for many MANY productions. Record raw/log for the best results, but apply a LUT on the image you sent to the client monitor so that they don't freak out!

Agreed with him, internal NDs is the big feature missing from the BMPCC4K.
