Why is it so popular (in EOSHD) to emulate "dirty" look of 70's and 80's movies? Wouldn't be more beneficial to emulate something like The Martian? Clean image with beautiful colors.
Is it because it's so much harder to make image look actually good, and it's easy to make images look crap and then say it's artistic?
Is not beauty in the eye of the beholder? In any case, I don't recall watching The Martian and thinking, "oh boy, I would really like to have that look in my productions". IMO, The Martian had a look reminiscent of Aliens ( I'm going by memory). It wasn't bad, but nothing I would feel compelled to achieve. And btw, lets not confuse in camera color from a $1k camera with the finished work from a $108 million dollar budget Hollywood blockbuster, with experts in cinematography, colorist, special effects, lighting, makeup, props and talent etc... In any case, I think many here would be curious to see what looks you have created with the NX1... and please share the settings. Who knows, you might have a winner?
FYI: Here is a little peak inside "The Martian"

Filmpower posted several videos of the Nebula 4000 in action, but exactly zero videos of the Nebula 4200 in action. Something tells me the 5-axis design is a flop and they don't want pre-orders cancelled if they were to post a video. Don't you think that If it worked well, they would have posted several videos already?
When something works you post footage... Lots of it. Like these guys did. Anyone can look at the current design and quickly see why it cannot work.

Thanks. As a result of the Nebula4200 structure is more complex, and we are responsible for the customers, so we took a long time to test the new gimbal.
Product has now been in the shipment according to the pre-orders. The video will be more and more about Nebula4200.
Nebula4200 Lite was presented in Fotomassan2015(Stockholm, Sweden). The links below is shooting video.I imagine most are interested in seeing footage shot from the 5 axis stabilizer you claim to have created, not another 3 axis model. Notice I said from... you need to show the gimbal in action and the resulting unaltered footage. If you can't show this then pack up and go home.

It's more about the codec actually.
H.265 effectively doubles your bitrate due to 2x greater efficiancy.
70 = 140Mbit/s
The NX1's codec is able to hold onto more detail, where H.264 on the a7R II goes a bit muddy due to compression.
The RX10 II's codec is muddier still, probably due to a cheaper processor.
So in short... definitely more 'real' detail on the NX1 compared to the A7R II and A7S II.
Agreed, in comparison the Alpha line looks soft.

It has the same problem that all the other one-handed gimbals have: too much bounce. Curious to see footage from the Nebula 4200 which (they claim) solves that problem.
if i werea betting man I would bet against the Nebular 4200 working as advertised.

Black hole aside, am I the only one here that thinks the NX1's image looks better than the Sony?
-
Does the camera even detach from the gimbal? And if so does it still function normally?
You can use this camera with the Osmo. Not sure why you would want to detach it from the gimbal. Why would you want shaky footage?

I'm looking for good reviews of this camera. Most of what I see is from drone people. But what I really would like to see is how this camera compares to say the gh4, nx1, Sony A7 whatever etc... How it works as a cinematic tool.
-
Don, the video you attached is Tony Northrop's first video. He took the camera to Machu Picchu and posted a second video where he comments on the overheating issues. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxxKAJtBnhA.
Hopefully the smaller sensor on the A7Sii will not have this issue.
No, the video link that you are quoting as a follow-up is for a different camera... It's for the A7Rii. The original video is the latest one by TN relating to the A7Sii. Click on your link and read the title.

i don't know that this warrants a reply but I read that as "human feces" the first time.
This is too easy... So I'll leave this one alone. Not wild about the blue in this setting, but think the NX1 looks great anamorphic.
-
You mention for drone work 45mm is unusable... But Osmo is not for drone work so I would hope that Dji world recognize this difference and make it compatible for hand held use.

DJI is the BMD of flying cameras! ;-D
I wasn't very convinced about the remote focus (perfect for the Ronin, not for drones), but this is really interesting. And their cameras seems to be improving all the time. As fuzzynormal says their first cameras were much worse than GoPros, but they are surpassing them now.....
From what I've seen the X5 series is pretty good. 13 stops of DR and cinema 4k at 24fps. Certainly good enough for indie film, music videos or documentary work.
I'm liking it a lot. The only problem I see is lens support, which right now is limited to only two third party lenses, both of which are fairly wide.

Interesting, will check it out now. Might be pretty cool editing with the pen on my lap, then use it like a tablet whilst it renders footage. Would still want a big monitor and the dock though, which will probably make it $4k ish. On the other hand it could replace my tablet and it is super light/thin for travel. Only other issue is the battery just lasts 3 hours when not connected to the keyboard.
I recently checked one out at a Microsoft store; it is build very well and is super light in tablet mode. Microsoft claims the screen is color accurate as they are aiming this device at photographers and videographers. The models on display are still prototypes and there were a couple driver related hickups, but these issues should be sorted by the official release.

Microsoft haven't revealed what the graphics card is in the Surface Book. My guess is that it will be too weak and just 1GB or so, which is nowhere near enough for 4K video editing. My Macbook Air has 1.5GB GPU and has no chance of editing 4K, it does FHD slowly but fine. It will also cost around $3000 for the top spec Book model, which is too much for a machine that will barely, if at all, be good enough. Their sales pitch was all about being the fastest and newest in the world at various things: they can't do that with graphics; so have conveniently decided to be vague about it. If they had said the GPU/keyboard could be swapped in future then it could be worth considering.
Next week there should be a new 21.5 inch iMac announced with 4K screen and (hopefully) good enough graphics card/s. Then next month the lenovo P50 and P70 laptops will be released (with UHD screens and awesome specs), just in case Apple under powers the iMac. I am probably going for an iMac as I love their screens so much and am happy to do no editing with the Macbook Air when on the move. These options will all be around $3k. There are certainly no laptops where I live available for $1k, even if there was the screen would surely be poor.
A friend who does weddings told me he just bought a PC for $7K+ yesterday, which makes me feel OK about the $3k options.
You need to watch the presentation for the surface book. They are pushing it as perfect for editing 4k video. They transfer a 3gb file in like 4 seconds, then edit it in Adobe premiere pro. They showed it driving 3 4k screens at once. Plus it can handle 4k h.265 files without transcoding as it uses Skylake.
Microsoft claim it is twice as fast as the MacBook pro.

This is just a test video, real shooting video is still in the process of filming, if it is made ready, I will release to everyone at the first time.
We trust this will not be post stabilized, as this would render any demonstration useless.
-
My comments were not directed to the demo... They were directed towards the lens. From what I can see, there are better, and cheaper ways to get an anamorphic look.
-
Not one that will stream live video.

Personally I expected some sort of breakthrough. A game changer. I know this much... I wouldn't buy these for $150, much less $3k.
NX1 Transcoder Question.
In: Cameras
Posted
Recently I acquired an Samsung NX1 and have been testing it to see how it compares to the Sony A7R that I have. The A7R is clearly the superior stills camera. The full frame sensor makes creating beautifully blurred background a breeze. The NX1 seems to even things up in the video department. To that end I am looking for a transcoder, so that I can edit some of the footage in Adobe Premiere. I will be doing the editing on a Window machine. I downloaded a few of the popular transcoders (Rocky Mountain and FFmpeg, but the former was in Chinese, and the later did not run.
Does anyone have a link to something that actually works?
