Nobody using a mattebox with nd's btw?

Hi, My variable ND's are quite old, and they always seem to wash out the image quite a bit (loose a lot of contrast and sharpness), and give it a slight colour shift. So I think renewing my ND strategy might be one the best purchases right now. Do you still a vari ND? Which brand do you swear by? Or do you use single ND's not variable, single ND's might also help a bunch. Thanks!

I never crop in, 4K and 6K is totally overkill for anything that I do.

Hi, I dont want to deal with post syncs on this shoot, so instead of recording into my zoom h6 I will record wireless lav (sennheiser g3) into my panasonic s5 and sony a7iii. Any settings/tips I should know to not f#ck up my audio recording? Thanks!

By networks, you mean TV networks? (Have not worked for them). Or you mean every contact you have. Have not shot with sony in a while, so not sure how much I am shooting myself in the foot. Allthough I would like to work straight for the customer in the future, more margin, customer doesnt care about gear, more control over income.

Hmm but I am prolly going the bm route again soon so with braw I might not have that issue.

Thanks that is quite the beast! I am on Amd right now though. Might need to change back then if only intel is h265 killing it.

Yeah did some tests, seems like a combo of my disks and my gpu. Might need to invest in an upgrade of both..

There is no option in resolve that displays the hardware where he struggles with right?

Hi, I am still running a gtx 1080 as my gpu, so I am thinking about an upgrade. Has anyone made a similar leap these days and felt an great increase of performance? Davinci resolve often freezes during playback, have to wait a bit and then it starts again. (Have to note that I do not copy my footage to internal SSD drives, but usually just run it from external drives, which might have a bigger impact then my gpu, but not sure at this moment. ) Cheers,

Yeah S5II, S9, GH7 was way too fast. I just bought a S5II, then I was pissed about the S9, and now the GH7 has these interesting specs, next month they will prolly release the S2H. I just hope the ARRI colors will come to the S5II as well. That would be quite fair I think.

I hope panasonic will release log3c to the s5ii as well. (Now they suddenly released a cheaper smaller s5ii named the s9..)

Hopefully they will release logc3 to the s5ii as well...

Not a big zoom distance though. But good that there is progress.

Biggest problem of this the ump's was for me the weight and the dreaded fpn (god I hated the fpn). I just like to shoot smaller camera's, which require less heavy tripods/sliders/gimbals/battery's. Just more efficient. + I like the full frame sensor. But I would just buy the blackmagic cine 6K. Because I hate adding more monitors to my camera and the pyxis monitor seems to suck. (allthought the blackmagic cine 6K formfactor also sucks).

The price has gone up all over europe. But b&h in the states still have the promo. What gives? I was about to pull the trigger and now I can't get it anywhere.

Oh man I already own an s5 and s5ii. Now I read in a comment they may have fixed the AF on 1080p 60fps modes. Which is my main issue with the s5 ii.

Its about 1.5 stops more DR. Not a huge jump. Not sure if the r5 will be able to run magic lantern at some point. That jump would make more sense to me. Allthough the r5 would overheat after 2 mins I guess.

Hehe just came here to post this. Which makes me consider it somehow. I was thinking about picking up a used pocket 6k pro, for the internal nd's + I already have a bunch of cfast. But the full frame + L mount makes more sense to me..

Are there any good eos r or 7d2 magic lantern videos? I saw a 5diii magic lantern vs eos r magic lantern, but found that the 5diii had more DR over the eos r. Could be a bad test. Don't have any canons left, to test myself. Strange that there are no comparison video's online. Like eos r magic lantern vs pocket 6k, a7s iii, s5 and so on.

It fixed itself somehow.

Well kinda disagree on this one. For me its about the look I can create with the lights, and during daytime I am allways fighting the sun. And 300w led lights for example dont allow much creative looks. Were playing with iso's you are just lowering or increasing exposure as is and not affecting the look in a dramatic way. Like popping the subject from the background. Not sure if you ever do flash photography, but I absolutely love the fact I can completely change the look of an image in bright sun with an flash. But yeah I dont like to deal with huge ass lights either an an one man band.

What is your best monitoring LUT for V-log on the S5II. Have tried a bunch, but not yet found the sweet spot. Thanks!

Sounds great, I wonder how much the AF has improved. (Especially in slowmo or full hd resolution)

Allthough you need an external recorder. (something I don't like because it makes the setup too big and defeats the joy for shooting for me). + the IBIS is not to be underestimated. But the sigma FP does have an nice image.
