Apologies - edited this as it refers to what we don’t want to discuss. Suffice to say it referenced scratched sunnies and the Newton...

Sony A5000 (£100) and Nikon 18-55 (£49).

Well done to everyone who entered.

Hopefully we can have another edition so that shiftless lazy buggers like me can actually get their act together and join in this time.

...And justify the €12.99 or whatever it was you spent on some delectable objet d’art!

Someone lend me an Alexa and I bet I could prove that point..

I don't know how long RED intend to let this routine of putting out teasers go on for but if it continues much longer we'll have to start calling it the Komodo Drag On.

I’m stealing that joke...

Picture with a GDU lens attached. AF?

What was the time code box he plugged in to the camera? I think I might get a second P4k to play with the editing features. Looks fun.

6k? Can’t decide...

I finished writing this for the documentary I'm doing of my small town:

Great news. Well done!

Looking forward to seeing the result.

Outstanding work @BTM_Pix

I’m thinking that ORANGE is the new RED.

everyone is afraid to be last and lose their camera

But think of the kudos!

And it’s better than coming first because it’s a useful way of having a clear out (yes, I did use that rusted bent quick release plate on that custom bipod...)

I’m shooting today if everything goes to plan.

Most people on this site don't know what a line cross is?

Damn. I might be one of them. Is it the same as the 180 degree rule?

I posted the video on the RED Hydrogen forum - didn’t last long before it got removed!

So I reposted it...

I think an equivalent yet opposite example is BM requiring users to use specific SSDs (etc.) to avoid dropping frames - but not selling them at inflated prices.

Tim Berners-Lee would be proud of this community.

Game on

£56 plus the cost of epoxy & orange plastic so don’t get too confident as it’ll be closer to the 200 max...

Camera purchased. Seems slightly odd me buying a camera to send to someone else without even the politeness of asking what they’d like...

Thought I’d found an interesting lens...

But just getting over excited.

I was struggling to think of what to shoot but I'm definitely going to use that title now to make a James Bond film where he goes after a deep state conspiracy to rig elections.

 

Good God Man! The last thing we need is for the majority of people in this country to vote even that many times... don’t encourage them!

(Far better employed painting models of buses - although in sunny Spain that reference might be lost?)

I’d suggest that we don’t impose a strict limit and rely instead on an honest statement of gear used (body & lens - let’s not get too worked up about batteries, cards etc) and the cost. This can then be taken into account when voting.

If we aim for €200 that gets us going in the right general direction. And someone will get their PhD studying why eBay prices suddenly levelled out at €200...

I tend to buy Hawk Woods (v-lok & npf) and they work. But I’ve absolutely no idea why I think they are ok. I have some off brand npf (Atomos & Blindspot Gear) and I try to replace them with the HW. But it does get expensive simply to have the same labels in the bag. 

I only use genuine Canon for the P4k - until the battery grip arrives when I’ll use the HWs. I do find it slightly odd that I don’t “trust” BM’s own batteries. Irrational? 

The Blackmagic logo includes orange so it would look particularly relevant. Especially in aluminium rather than plastic.

Too much similarity to a Quality Street will however end in disaster.

I think BM keyboard is overpriced for what it is. Having jog is nice but it depends on how responsive and precise it is. 

Yes, I think it possibly is. But given that Resolve is possibly very underpriced for what it is I don’t feel too bad at preordering!

I doubt the jog will be as silky as the dial on the Naim Muso (if you have one near you, try it - it’s utterly gorgeous) but hoping it’ll be decent.

What about Blackmagic’s own keyboard?  I’ve preordered one - like the look of the jog/shuttle dial - but no delivery date yet. 

I didn’t vote because I can’t remember the last time I actually said either “baby” or “dude” (with or without the “!”).

If I had to vote it’d be for the “it depends” option.

Pocket 4k joins The 400 Club.

Blackmagic should add it to their marketing.
