    If you look at the down vote in the bottom right of the post and click it, it says that you down voted it.
    Don't know whether there's something going on with your account automatically doing votes because there's a post in another thread that says you did the big laughing one when it didn't seem like it was a funny post in the slightest! Mind you, us gentlemen of certain advancing ages do tend to laugh in all the wrong places !

    My dear erstwhile member can you please stop attacking John Brawley now.
    I have long since given up on camera forum arguments so might not be completely up on who is right and who is wrong-evil / killed-a-kitten, but can we tone it down a bit. It's JB! We could be learning so much and having such interesting cameras talks with a film industry guy and I am sure one of the only people with a Blackmagic Pocket 2 prototype yet instead a handful of you are just bitching. It's pointless. Even if you disagree with him on certain matters, hold your tongue a bit for the benefit of the rest of us who are interested in what he has to tell.

    Let me put a point on this: Who gives a shit.
    Can we please stick to talking about this camera, it's highs, lows, competition, accessories and application. If you feel the need to post about other users, or argue about who said what and under what context, I'm sure most people here would prefer you do so elsewhere.  Maybe you can contribute here: 
     
    Thank you.

    Well, thanks to a bit of jet lag boredom, that escalated quickly and tomorrow is now today.
    I have an Alcatel Pixi 4 (4) which is a cheap 4 inch Android phone which you can get for £36.50 off Amazon. They also do a 3.5 inch version as well. 
    As a phone its not going to give Samsung or Apple any sleepless nights but its a good little tool for stuff like being a pocket hotspot or running custom remote control apps
    This is it running an app I've just made will basically turn it into what you want which is a big record button for the GX80 (or any Panasonic camera).
    You just press the screen to toggle between record and stop (red when recording).  Cheaper and easier than knocking up a piece of hardware for a task like this.

    App is here if anyone needs it.

    Work in advertising and haven't really had much time for my own projects the past years. But I am releasing a music video in June that I directed, shot (handheld BMPCC), edited and colored. 
    For now, this is my latest, for mother's day:

    @tweak 100% agree.
    When their cheap monitor was announced, I tried to buy it but the shipping & import rates to Spain made it too expensive.
    Finally i got a Lilliput A7s with same funtions and identical menu layout.
    Another topic of conversation would be the aggressive strategy in introducing a product below its cost to break the market to get publicity or notoriety.

    As someone less than politely pointed out on the other thread, I appear to have been a bit of a lazy arse in the almost 12 months since I tripped over and found the Cinelike d thing.
    You may recall it happened because I was researching making a hardware controller and after several iterations, here it finally is.

    And yes, it does look rather like a calculator doesn't it?
    The different iterations (including an Android app at one point!) have been in pursuit of making something small, standalone, self powered, fast connecting, push buttons and with an integrated screen at a lowish cost and, well, here we are.
    Here is the finished spec and features :
    Compatible with all Panasonic Lumix cameras that can be controlled by wifi Integrated USB rechargeable battery Full colour screen 20 keys with 3 bank switch keys giving 60 direct switch operations of functions Control of Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed, White Balance, Colour Profile, Contrast, Saturation, Sharpness and Noise Reduction. Automatic unlocking of Cinelike D and Cinelike V on GX80/85, LX10/15 and TZ10 Control of manual focus in fine and coarse steps  Control of One Shot AF Control of Record Stop/Start Store and Recall 8 focus points 4 selectable transition speeds between focus points Store and Recall 8 setup presets (each consisting of Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed, White Balance, Colour Profile, Contrast, Saturation, Sharpness and Noise Reduction) Presets are stored in non-volatile memory so are available in any session. Boot time to camera connection and control under 2 seconds. Wifi control range tested to 20m. Optional accessories :
    Interface module to support Nintendo Nunchuck controller for manual focus control (native lenses and adapted lenses with smart adapters) and zoom (integrated lens cameras and power zoom lenses only) Wireless interface module to sync remote record and stop on supported Tascam, Zoom and SoundDevices audio recorders.  The controller fits a regular cheap cellphone to threaded adapter holder so as well as being used handheld it can be mounted to anything you have a need for with the right attachment so could be on a cage or a gimbal or whatever.

    I'm going to be doing some more testing of it in anger in the next couple of weeks and I'll put up a video of it in action then.
    So, I have been a bit less lazy than first imagined
    By the by, the controller has both wifi and bluetooth so it begs the question would anyone be interested in a version of it for the Pocket 4K ??

    Pro tip when passing through airports, or interacting with cops in general, do not refer to your BOOM pole or your SHOTGUN mic. 
    (but me being me, I've done both of these things)

    I tried all kind of combination but only with one button.
    It seen that RC600 has 3 buttons.
    My led color sign was OK (green for standby, red for recording even peaks blink in orange) 
    But i miss resistor and other 2 buttons.
    My electronic skill level is: Beginner

    4 pole 3.5mm, as original one.
    I keep a photo of my prototipe where pin 1 was inner pin and pin 4 (GND) was the outsider pin of the 3.5mm connector.
