    Wait are you talking about using it as a printer profile? Thats they only option that I see with Lightroom. Is there something that I am missing? 

    With Capture One you can use ICC as a camera profile (again can't optimize intensity). 

     

    Yes, as printer profile in Develop tab (it's called "Soft Proofing" in english if I'm right).

    Unfortunately this solution is not compatible with Lightroom but only capture one...

    I just tested the ICC profiles you sent me with Lightroom CC 2015.6 and it works.
    I copied the ICC file into: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended
    Then we can use it in LR, but we can't adjust intensity.
    Nice alternative anyway ;)

    I have been using these more for grading photos than videos recently. 

    For the longest time I was trying to find a way to use it with Lightroom without the need to roundtrip to Photoshop but I did not have any luck. 

    Then I have the Capture One a try and I managed to convert the LUTs to ICC profiles that can be loaded in the program. Success! Now you can easily add these LUTs to your photos although you will loose the ability to partially add the LUT or use any camera specific ICC profile. 

    Here is the link with the compiled ICC files:

    EDIT I just figured out I shouldn't share this since it was Benjamin's LUTs. @benymypony I sent you a link with the files if you want to add them to your drive folder. 

     

    Thanks Don! It's awesome, I didn't know this way to load and use the ICC profiles in Lightroom, nice find!
    I just tested and it works :D

    I was looking for a Crane in ebay and I came across to this:

    Capture.PNG.629773b0ffa8dc3dce5c551a3135ae69.PNG

    Capture.PNG.0e90a706528659912d4017ec194ab63a.PNG

     

    It's obviously the Crame but notice the different mounting plate and the joystick, which seems to be a ver.2?

    Has anybody got this version? The ebay item number is 282100541696

    Edit: I think I know what's going on there...... The pictures are actually from Crane-M, which is a smaller gimbal, the seller is probably doing something wrong.....

     

    It's the V2 of the Zhiyun Crane. Differences are just aesthetic, with quick release plate included in the gimbal. No better weight capacity.

  5. Hello, I received my GH5 this Thursday and unfortunately, he's already back to Panasonic workshop :( 

    I had a dust blocked between the sensor and the filter. I took him to a photo shop near me and they weren't able to clean this dust. They think the camera was delivered as this. I opened the sensor cap only a few seconds to put the lens. They are almost sure it's only a dust, but maybe it’s actually a scratch on the sensor. I hope no !

    The dust is very small on the sensor but very visible at f/22 on images. Check the still frames below, I can't keep that seriously…
    And at f/2.8 it's already visible, like a dark spot on the images.

    The workshop is faster than I thought (and located only a few kilometers from where I live). I should get back the camera for the end of next weekend, hopefully.

    What. 

    Im curious to see your raw footage without ETTR or Zone System. 

    Everyone know that the sensor need the best exposition in RAW use, or else we get noisy low light revovery. 

    It depends of which RAW we are talking about. On RED cameras the RAW catches each frame on all ISO available, on the base of 800, so what you see on screen is just for reference. I don't see the interest to ETTR on RAW. But I can be wrong...

    In LOG or standard usually I use the zebra. Set to 95%, I expose just one step before the zebra. Don't know if it's a good technique but it works well, on daylight and on night scenes with secondary LED panels.

    @benymypony for 550$ I am doing it for free on my 3m boom pole (which I do for years and years now anyway with gopros) and buy a used Phantom!

    Seriously, it is a great accessory, but rather on the expensive side, still a great buy for some. Small cranes are very cheap these days too (from 80-200$) and can achieve great motion.

    Of course it's too expensive. A painter pole is the same thing for $30 :D

  8. This doesn’t sound serious…
    Your camera is broken, but you certainly have lenses, batteries, cards, filters, etc.
    Or everything is broken? No luck…

    Assuming you’re serious and you really want to renew completely your material to be "semi-pro in a decent budget" for wedding videos, I would suggest:
    - Sony a6500
    - Sony 18-105mm f4
    - +2 batteries
    - 4 SD cards 64Gb
    - ND filter
    - Polarizing filter
    - Zhiyun crane

    You'll still have $96~97k to spend in champagne, girls and drugs.

    Good luck!

  9. I recently bought a BMPC 4K in Canon EF and I don't regret.
    I used the BMPC 4K during a trip in Japan this month and I shot with natural light, in street, forest, etc.

    The cons of this camera are, in my opinion, its a bit heavy weight, bad ability in low light, no slow motion, unreliable battery indicator and ND filter recommended.
    But the pros are the image quality, the ProRes 422 HQ in UHD, the CinemaDNG RAW in 4000x2160, the SSD, the touch screen and the operating system are simple and pretty fast, the general build quality and the price !

    The BMPC 4K is perfect for controlled shooting and if you don't need slow motion.

  10. It's very interesting. In my opinion I think that Blackmagic is the camera manufacturer with the biggest potiental today.
    I'm tired of all these cameras with low video abilities for pro.
    I mean we need RAW, we need at least 4:2:2 10bit, we need ProPres internal, we need a serious LOG profile, we need 4K 60fps minimum, we need < 5000€ price, etc. We are in 2016...
    For sure Sony, Canon and Panasonic are able to do that in a DSLR but they don't want, to prevent cross market products (otherwise, overheating seems the only problem imo).
    Recently I bought a used Blackmagic Production 4K in pack with SSD and lenses and even if this camera has some bad points, there is no competitor at this price.
    Hope Blackmagic will not become as RED and create a camera that cost a house.
