Hey, Guys. I wanna share my last job. It was a completely insane run and gun stealth job for a local artist making an urban intervention.
Gear used: A7r II, Sony FE 28mm F/2  (always in f/2) and Sigma ART 50mm with a Fotodiox adaptador (only a few shots).
Settings: 4k 24fps, Full frame and Crop Mode. Color: Autumn Leaves -1 -2 -3.  Used clear zoom in some shots too. AWB in all shots (specially horrible in sodium lights)
The great pro of this setup was the weight and the fact that it was perfect for point and shoot. I didn't have time to prepare, light or anything else. Probably the A7s II would made a better job with low lighting, but the superb AF (even with 50 ART + Fotodiox) plus the capability to use FF or APSC (and clear zoom( was a great deal. Hope you like it. It's not beautiful, but I think the message was delivered.
The Youtube compression is way better than vimeo (try to watch in 4k):

Musings on the future :  The idea of grabbing stills from a video stream  occurred to me back in 2005  when I was shooting with  my Nikon D70 and my Sony HrV1U HD  camcorder.. process I would the 1920 X1080 in after effects and loving what I got despite interlace. I could grab that instant in time @ 30fps.   Then I knew it was a matter of time.  And I still believe that.  Any one that does not has not seen  70 MM positives from the great movies knows that they are perfect moving images .  But then again I remember recording movies onto VHS tape in the early 80's because I knew that one day frame grabs would be possible.   I also at that time only licensed my video for "helically scanned  magnetic media" back in 1987,   knowing that there was something else coming down the pike in 10 years.  I moved to Betacam SP asap and I am glad I did because using decent cameras and Beta Sp recording meant that with the terrenex processor from BM,  I could scale up and reformat  the aspect ratio ( yes with a little distortion) of those videos and people today assume they were shot in HD when viewed on the web  and computers.    They look GREAT! 
Actually, 4k does make 1080P look better.  I can see that by looking at 4K video on youtube  on 1080 P tv's  .   So I for one, cheerfully await the  coming of our 8K overlords .
Interestingly, MY Vizio 43 inch "UHD" TV can display a resolution of 7680 when pushed by my mid 2014 Macbook pro and using SwitchResX ,  the resolution shows up in the options  ( the native display on the MBPro can be pushed to 3840 x 2400).   tThe curser almost vanishes to a pinhead,  but El Capitan's desktop takes on an  almost 3D quality so much so that I had to touch the screen to see if the apparent texture of the cliff  face was really there.    And this is not official 8K.   Noticing commercial cinema lately,  it is usually beautifully sharp and colourful, with exquisite detail ,     ie Tarantino's 70 mm  release and every other commercial theatre release today and for the past 20 years.  The only place that I see faded and "film like" is the efforts of those using DSLR's , who marveling at a "look" that, whilst nice.. is not necessarily "cinematic"  ( whatever that is supposed to be )   seem to ignore that fact of what is actually playing in the cinemas"   I love those rich images and wish that I can portray that dynamic range, detail and colour.  The A7sII is not bad in that respect.   The low light flexibility is amazing ,  and I am shooting 4K with it ( and grabbing promotional stills)  for the  same reason why  I spent 14k on a BVW50 in 1987... the future...

They'll build something with Samsung tech that can make use of the Nikon F- mount. Anything different from that would be a surprise.

That functionality would definitely help me to convince my wife that we need to buy it.
I liked the Lilliput, It seems very nice. Thanks!
If someone release a Smartphone or tablet with HDMI input, will be the end of field monitors. Imagine the ton of possibilities with apps and wifi transmissions.
 
I'll take a look. Thanks!

Just bought one too, but I'm keeping a 6D for some still jobs.
