Of course not, but I'm waiting for the full review. The link you posted is more of a "first impressions" thingy. ?

Andrew, any news on the Pocket 4K review ? I've been checking EOSHD twice a day for the past month. I can't wait to read your take on this little monster.

Looks really good, love the vintage feel.

Out of curiosity, why did you choose to shoot with the Pocket 4K and Gemini instead of just one camera ? More coverage?

It’s actually a music video for the Plain White T’s. I used the Pocket 4k and RED Gemini. Lenses were Canon FD primes, and Sigma 18-35.

Thanks.

Thanks. It’s an 80s era video so I made a custom look just for this.

I cannot tell you how much I'm looking forward to seeing this. I absolutely love a 80s film look. What lenses did you use ?

Thanks Andrew, I love the blog and your take on things. I can't wait for your Pocket 4K review !

And a word of appreciation to everyone on this forum. This is also such a great place because of you guys.

I think the Ronin-S looks fantastic. It truly feels like the Next-Gen in terms of design and build quality. If DJI can make it reliable with great performance, It will most certainly be the new king of the hill.

Maybe ask the Egyptian dentist that responded to my OP ;-)

Yeah, this was from years ago, but it's the Polish movie "Ida."

Coincidental that this should surface again as I'm the DP on a S16 film shoot later this month and we're going to do static shots pretty much the whole way.

Ah, I remember that movie. Only saw it once, but man, had it great compositions.

This is it. I remember when it came out there was talk about the unusual composition used, like all the headroom, etc. 

 

 

Thanks. It was a great movie.

I love static shots and that movie made me realize that it wasn't old fashioned by any means.

I can't see the link... Fuzzy, could you repost it ?

Anaconda, you just answered a bunch of important questions. Thanks !

I had the Pilotfly and the Crane. Crane is actually much smoother. The city video is done by rollerblading this is why it is so smooth. I am not paying more than Crane for less smoothness. No way... 

good idea for the 45 angle though 

I'm personally waiting for the next Crane with this new 45 angle magic. 

Looks great. The motion looks good too.

Well, 3-axis is pretty self explanatory for the straight forward designs we've seen. Don't know if this is harder to balance, tougher on the motors and battery life... if losing a couple of degrees from the straight axis makes it less stable? Maybe it helps with the walk-bounce? But it's sure nice to have a clear view of the screen for camera without a vari-angle screen or stabilizer with configurable set-up that can swing the arm the other way around for the left side to be clear. Interesting for sure. Hopefully they'll have some kind of trade-in/upgrade programm for H2 users.

Battery life is 26 hours. Even if it's only half in real life, I think it's plenty for most users.

New Pilotfly H2-45 Gimbal. Up to 4.9 lb (2.2 kg). Probably $999 like the H2.

IMO, this is huge if you don't use an external monitor ! Should be available next month.

$199/Year for unlimited downloads with very high quality music. IMO, this is the best thing that happened to our industry in the last 10 years.

What NLE were you using?

I forgot to mention. I was cutting in Premiere on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machine. SSD for OS and HDD for media.

I just got my Ryzen system built yesterday and went into a Premiere project, switched off my proxy files expecting playback of 4k files to be butter smooth but....No....its not!!

I am thinking i must have something set up incorrectly cause the system should sufficient - Ryzen 7 1700, 32GB RAM, Radeon RX 480 Nitro 8GB.

Any ideas???

Cheers

 

A couple of years ago, I was cutting 4K H.264 files from a GH4 without any problems. Buttery smooth playback and editing.

1080P timeline. Intel i7 3770K, 16GB RAM, GTX 580 1.5GB. 

Good to know you like it. I'm trying to decide between the DS1 and the sturdyflight. I'll be flying a GH4 as well.

Thanks Andrew, much appreciated !

Dave tried the H1+ and the Came-TV Single which is quite big.

Speaking of the Sturdyflight, it's ugly as hell, but the videos on their web site are the best I've seen so far. Period.

I would really like your take on the GH4 V-LOG + FilmConvert which seams to make the most out of it.

I bet I'm not the only one...

Anyway, good to see the nice stuff that's coming !

Cool, thanks !

I'm interested as well. It's the smallest gimbal which lets you use the flip screen on the GH4.

Andrew, where are you leaving ?

BTW, I'm hoping you can test the V-LOG on the GH4 if you get some time... :-)

This is awesome ! Way to go Panasonic !

The GH4 just became a 5.7K camera over night, as you can get a 5760 x 2400 image with 2.40 aspect ratio !
