    TILT got a reaction from Mark Romero 2 in Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K   
    My battery door is a complete mess. a slight bump, opening the sd card and cfast compartment for instance and it pops out. A bit annoying, but I've finally opted for a dummy battery, so I'll take it off anyway. I can see it becoming a problem when I'll switch to Blackmagic official power cables (66eur a pop) and will no longer need the dummy battery. I'll ask a door replacement to Blackmagic as I think mine is probably more flimsy than other people's BMPCC4K.

    But no big deal, I'm happy for the upgrade. I was using the NX1 before and I love that camera too. But the iso range was just too limiting. Now I have a strong camera for stills and a strong one for video. In some situations, I'll try to match the NX1, NX500 and BMPCC4K to ensure me a multicam setup in well-controlled environments.

    ND's are definitely a need though, sticking to iso 400 with the viltrox speedbooster and most shots are still overexposed at f/22 when sunny. Need a 3 stops ND I guess.

    Cinemartin has a 5 inch for 95 EUR +38EUR shipping. Not sure about the quality though, I couldn't find any review.

    Did you set infinity focus on the Viltrox, that could be the issue. You need to turn the optical element inside to make sure infinity focus is correct. I have the Nikon Version and no problem on a Pana M43. Still waiting the BMPCC4k to try it on though. Maybe the Viltrox covers the sensor a bit too much. Their factor is wrong it is not 0.72x but a little bit more.

    TILT reacted to CMCFirm in Petition for Samsung NX1 hack   
    How hard would it be to remove the block on the NX1 so that the Samsung Camera Manager app functions while using manual lenses? Would be great to have wireless live view while using non Samsung Glass. Thanks everyone! 

    BTW, for anyone interested in developing, I am posting the link for accessing all NX1 firmware files again for ease of access. I usually grant access pretty quickly when a request comes in. Access the files here: https://drive.google.com/a/cmcfirm.com/folderview?id=0Bwt0uzFgEoRkQ2ZLOUJOM295UGM&usp=sharing

    The entire firmware history (v1.01, v1.10, v1.20, v1.21, v1.22, v1.30, v1.31, v1.32, and v1.40) for the NX1 is now archived in that link:

    Happy to help and really am impressed by what you all have accomplished thus far!

    TILT got a reaction from vaga in Petition for Samsung NX1 hack   
    I've tried it yesterday and there are not much risks, at first the liveview froze when I selected VGA(2.5k) 25p but a simple reboot and it worked. However, VGA(2.5k) 50p captures 2 times the normal speed and some other options in VGA made the video rip apart.
    I can't report much on the quality, I'll do tomorrow if enough time with a daytime scene.

    Great work from Vasile again, we can really see improvements steps by steps. Any chance we could modify the width of the sensor region for anamorphic?
    Cheers!

    TILT got a reaction from liork in Adobe Premiere Pro CC Now Supports H.265 NX1 Files   
    Here is a comparison of HEVC vs Prores I did an hour ago. To me banding is still less apparent in Prores but for most projects HEVC will be my choice for saving space on my HDs.

    TILT got a reaction from IronFilm in NX1 OK for 3 hour shoot?   
    Same here. I shot a lengthy 5 hours of interview (in 4K) with a 16,000 mAh powerbank. I only had a few seconds break to swap the SD Cards once full.
    It's a shame we are limited to 30mins.

    TILT got a reaction from Flynn in Nikon users about to get raw via their version of Magic Lantern?   
    They've been doing really well so far. It was cool when we've gotten 60Mbps h.264. They are the reason why I didn't sell my D5100 and D5200. Bought the NX1 6 months ago though,  but I still use them as B and C cameras. Raw would be awesome!!!
    Long live Nikon Hacker and ML!!!

    TILT got a reaction from JGlimmer in NX1 clip limit- any workarounds?   
    That's one of the request I added to the document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pwCklH7KMPvGlOWiy9RjGKUKaQnD7gJ-hiW7xotVJ6o/edit
    For unknown reason it seems someone removed it. I hope they will follow the path of the GH4 and allow continuous shooting in next updates, even if we have to pay a small amount due to that stupid EU tax. Who uses DSLRs/Mirrorless cameras to pirate movies at theaters anyways.
