    Antonis got a reaction from IronFilm in GoPro Karma   
    Well...it kind of was to be expected that the Karma wouldn't be as stable in the air or have all the flying features DJI has developed over the years.
    But the point where GoPro totally dropped the ball imo is by not having improved the codec and overall IQ over the 2 year old GoPro 4...

    That was the one thing they had going for themselves and they chose to leave it completely untouched..shame.

    Antonis got a reaction from Marco Tecno in NX1 vs. Blackmagic Cinema Camera (EF mount)   
    Having used the BM pocket camera and NX1 I would say that the NX1 is a much more versatile camera thanks to the 4K, and 60 & 120 fps in 1080p.
    The slo mo is great for so many occasions, from action shots to immersive closeups. And the 4K single camera interview setting gives you the ability to intercut and crop the shot to look like you are shooting with two cameras.
    Plus the small file sizes and long battery life (you can charge it on the go with a USB power bank) make it a much nicer run and gun camera if you are out there all day.

    The main thing BM has going for it is the gradability of the files (both Prores and raw) which give you much more room to play around with before braking up.

    Like Mattias said, it really depends on what you want to shoot.
    Two very different cameras imo.

    The majority was shot in 1080p 60fps & 120fps and graded heavily with DeLuts from James Miller.

    Im currently testing some new settings, heres a few examples, these are all separate projects, so they all have a slightly dif. look.








    These are all videoframes, and not pictures, as soon as im done testing these settings, ill share with you guys!
    Im considering creating a specific lutpackage that could be sold at a very affordable price, what do you guys think?

    Antonis reacted to SMGJohn in Is there any point for an external recorder? If not, then what monitor?   
    Blackmagic Video Assist is actually and probably THE best external recorder right now, the build quality is superb and the interface is as one expect, very solid and touch friendly, beautiful display and supports NX1 and NX500 at least in my tests but ask Blackmagic just in case.
    But to answer your question, no.
    But like you said, your partners need ProRes, and shooting with Samsung in-camera colours and outputting it to ProRes could be many, MANY hours saved in not just grade but conversion as well. And this alone is a huge advantage, another point in using an external recorder besides the dual purpose screen is also the fact that you can record audio to it! 
    Why audio you may ask? Because it is a known fact that the audio in the Samsung cameras are "#&%"("#!) and you really need to watch those audio levels like a hawk, if it goes a bit over you are screwed big time, it works fine for me on regular use but the first time the audio fucked me over big time because I assumed it worked like my GH4 which it did not.
    So basically, because the Blackmagic Video Assist is SO cheap and so well built, one may ask why not? But if you really just want the ext recorder for better video then no not worth it, but on the longer run it may be if you plan on getting a GH5 or something although it wont support 6k video or 2160p60 so there is also that to take into consideration. 
     
    This is my opinion on an external recorder for the NX1 anyway, for the NX500 it only adds ridicules bulk to the camera. But if I wanted audio features I would use the Blackmagic, and yes I have tested the Blackmagic and the Atomos Shogun, the Shogun is shit with terrible build quality and the battery life is horrible worse than a Sony A7s in the heat avoid it like the black death.

    Super annoying!
    But it seams that I found a fix:
    You just need to open Terminal and paste the following line: defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug -bool YES

    To reverse it back to normal just paste: defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug -bool NO

    Make sure to copy the "-bool YES" line to DISABLE the automatic app opening.
    I did it the other way around the first time and that indeed doesn't work... :p

    Antonis got a reaction from Adept in FILMCONVERT Poll results : possible NX1,A6300 & URSA MINI support   
    I actually prefer using the Filmconvert 'default camera' profile over NX1 profile(s) as those indeed give too much red and too little saturation in the blues.

    Here is a video I did today, graded with Filmconvert and shot on the RX100m4 & NX1:

    Thanks!
    The project was 24fps.
    I shot the RX100 in 60fps (40% slowed down) and some 240fps.
    The NX1 was set to the "portrait" profile, -10 Sharpness, Master Black Pedestal to -15 and green to .97 in 4k 24fps and 1080p 120fps.

    All the pit shots were the RX100, the car parade was a mix of both, the crowd of people was all NX1.
    Basically all the deep depth of field shots are the NX1 (85mm F2.8).
