Hello everyone,
just wanted to share a little travel film I shot in Valencia on my first trip with the S5IIX, hope you're gonna enjoy! 
 

Cheers mate! 😊
90% of the shots is the Lumix S 50 1.8 and I've used the 20-60 kit lens for the wide angles.

Nice compositions.
What lenses did you use?

The body layout is from the previous generation of cameras so it can either be an a7 III or a7r III (the only different thing would be the badge on the top left hand side of tha camera which is unfortunately covered in the shot). The lens is 100% a Sony G FE 90mm f2.8 Macro, you can tell by the big focus ring with clutch mechanism and the double distance scale in different colours (you can just about see the red marking is feet above the white one in meters) 😊

I gave it a go but, as i feared, the results are awful, even worse than perspective stabilisation alone 😅 I think it's just too complex to process some movements and geometries for warping stabilisation algorithms. I haven't tried with the other options to be fair but i don't expect great results either..
 
 

Ok, i did more testing today with a wider lens (10mm so 15ish mm equivalent) and i tried some more complex moves as well..
Few more notes:
-45º shutter angle is pretty much a necessity so all the clips have been recorded with that setting (i tried to introduce some motion blur back in in a couple of clips as well and it might even work, i just need to understand how much of it to use)
- The camera doesn't seem to record any Gyro data if the lens stabilisation is ON (i'm not entirely sure about this but certainly the option to select the Gyro stabilisation doesn't appear inside Resolve on the clips shot with OIS) so you have to remember switching off the lens stabilisation if you plan to use the gyro. I reckon it kind of make sense though because without knowing the data from the lens gyro the result would probably be a bit messy 😅
- I have noticed some strange sharpening artifacts in high details area when a clip has been stabilised using gyro but thankfully it seems to only affect the GUI and not the monitor output nor the final render (I'm on Windows 10)
- The results are overall very good, in shots with simple moves there isn't a great deal of difference between the gyro and the algorithm based stabilisation (the building tilt shot and the cushions shot for istance) but in other shots where there are more complex movements and lots of geometric elements that can (and did) wreak havoc on the traditional stabilisation methods the difference is day and night. I would not suggest this is a gimbal replacement by any means because is not but it's definitely a feature that will enable camera movents that are most probably not possible in any other way when you don't have or want to use a gimbal so it's quite exciting!
ps. on the clips where there is severe warping from the perspective stabilisation i tried to use the clips without OIS as well to see if it would fare any better but it made very little difference, it was unusable anyway.

Made a quick and dirty test today with my BMPCC6K and the new 7.9 software.
First clip is shot on a Canon EF 50mm 1.8 (so no OIS and 75mm equivalent)
Second clip is shot on a Canon EF 24-105 f4 @ 24mm (36mm equivalent)
 
Overall the new stabilisation works very well especially in situations where the traditional point based stabilisation can create visible warping (i included samples of that as well for comparison)
Things to note:
- The workflow is fantastic and probably the real advantage of this over any other gyro stabilisation solution.. it's just a new option in the stabilisation panel in Resolve, no extra software and rendering needed!
- Like any other gyro stabilisation system nothing can be done to reduce motion blur so, unless you have a miniscule quantity of motion in your shot, you need to shoot with faster shutter speed. I found 45º to work the best (apart from the weird look due to the lack of motion blur, i'm experimenting in dialling that back in afterwards and see how it looks)
- Another potential issue with gyro stabilisation is rolling shutter but, according to blackmagic, it's automatically compensated in the algorithm and it doesn't seem to be a big issue (even if the 6K is not the fastest camera around rolling shutter wise). 
Much more experiments needed but i wanted to share with you my first findings, this is a very exciting development!

Damn impressive results. Thanks for the footage. That is getting into Steadicam territory.

This is exactly what I was thinking! I mean.. pretty much every camera that I've ever used equipped with IBIS has a sensor cleaning mode that does just that.. it locks the sensor in a neutral position so you can clean it easily without it moving all over the place. Surely it'll never be as strong as a sensor which is permanently held in place but those magnets are a lot stronger than I thought so I'm wondering why one couldn't shoot with the sensor in that mode.
Of course I'm saying this purely as an end user without any knowledge of the engineering behind it so it's entirely possible there are very good reasons why this can't work 😅

Yesterday Gerald Undone was doing some testing on the 4K HQ mode recorded externally on a Ninja and the camera shut down due to overheating around the 1h15 mark so I think that estimate is very realistic 🙂

Complete madness! ?
I just spent the weekend filming with the BMPCC6K and like many other have already said there's simply nothing that comes even closer to the IQ that camera produces for the price, nothing!
I think the other companies seriously need to step up their video game and this is definitely NOT the way to do that... ?‍♂️
 

I'm very torn about this update because on one hand I think the m4/3 mount is the most flexible option in terms of lensing plus with the different flavours of speedbosters available you can get much closer to full frame than Super35 if needed. On the other hand 6K for 4K delivery has the potential to deliver a great image and will probably completely solve the only issue I have with the camera which is the presence of aliasing/moirè in highly detailed scenes. (it's got substantially better with BRAW but it's still there unfortunately).
Decisions, decisions! ?

The anamorphic mode is coming to the 4K as well in the next camera update ?

Really? That is awesome! Sweet then im not upgrading at all :D, unless the image looks better.
