Ah oh well, still a nice camera. There is an Ursa mini 4.6k on ebay right now for just above $3000. If this drives the prices of them down more that would be cool. Though if the only upgrade is 300fps I don't see it being that big of a killer. 

4.6k 120fps is the biggest upgrade imo....

Where can this be purchased or more info had?

Will be available via their Shopify site and Amazon late April

Well I think this new portkeys monitor is what many people (including me) have been asking for. Nice price for all the features. 

I think this lens was made for you @kaylee?

This will be interesting lol

they conclude with 

In short, Fran is not finished, which, again, the company accepts. Other camera manufacturers have probably taken orders for cameras which were less finished than this one. Even so, it's rather unusual to have started talking about reviews at this very early stage. It's fine for manufacturers to send out early versions of products with known issues highlighted as a work in progress. That's done all the time, and should continue. Fran, though, is really in a very elementary condition, with some serious issues, such as the very slow user interface.

There is no XLR audio, no timecode, no SDI, no EF lens control, no LUTs, no genlock, no full-rate playback of high resolution material. There's much that's right about the camera-as-a-platform model, especially running a popular OS with good development tools, but, to be charitable, Fran is a lot of work away from realising the benefits of that approach.

Yeah, should do the trick. Could power both the monitor & camera that way. 

looks like a decent solution @Anaconda_ 

I wonder if the tilta npf baseplate would do the job? If only they could release the bloody thing haha!

Anyone used this? Looks pretty good!

I wouldn't recommend using a monitor to power your p4k, it  could potentially burn out your monitor and camera. 

Tom Antos killed two monitors trying to power the pocket 4k via dummy battery from dc out...

I guess they've gone after people that would want the ninja v with the pocket 4k... (obviously don't need the recorder). 

 I should've said that the monitor could become popular with pocket 4k owners. ?

I don't think it is aimed at Pocket owners. At this price, if you have the P4K it'd be better to get the 5inch Blackmagic Video Assist that records 1080p as well. The UI between camera and VA is the same, the batteries are the same and you can record 1080 and 4K at the same time. - the Ninja V is overkill since the P4K doesn't output 4k, and the Shinobi is just a monitor (with great features).

If you want a proxy then sure it would be a great fit... but how many users want that? The video assist is still great but I think a lot of users would take the 1000 nits and smaller profile of the Atomos over the  assist! 

I guess they've gone after people that would want the ninja v with the pocket 4k... (obviously don't need the recorder). 

Really in terms of price; I think under £350 would have been great but it still is unbeatable a this price!

And while we're at it, Atomos would also have a big hit by doing an affordable EVF.

couldn't agree more, seriously. People would be hot on a great evf, with less than zacuto prices ?

looks decent. Cheaper body but very similar features for around £400 (no recorder) 1000nits, 427 ppi 5 inch. 

Monitoring FeaturesLuma Waveform, RGB parade, RGB Overlay, Vectorscope, Vectorscope Zoom, Histogram,

RGB Histogram, Anlaysis mode (Multiview scopes: Waveform, Histogram, Vectorscope), Focus Peaking,

Zebra, False Colour, Blue Only Exposure, Zoom (1:1, 2:1, 4:1), SMPTE Safe Areas, Cinema Guides, Anamorphic Desqueeze

The new multi tool 'analysis' seems like a great feature. It simultaneously shows the image, plus waveform, histogram, vectorscope and audio-level meters. In addition, there are multiple options inside each of these tools. This gives the operator a complete picture of what is going on within the image, at any time

.braw will be invaluable because it gives RAW flexibility at prores file sizes. It also seems to create more organic detail than RAW, perhaps close to prores? I "want" it.

Same guy shot this one. I'd seen this and really enjoyed it. I think the newer one has a more Kodak grade which I love. They're both great. I'm also a massive fan of the Southwest and desert. I'd shoot every single frame there if I had my way.

 

Very nice! Makes me want to rewatch Breaking Bad haha!

The XT3 looks even more appealing now. Oh dear Olympus!

He may have just single handedly restored my faith in this camera.

He used the 12-35 f2.8 and SLR magic 17mm only! Impressive!

This film was posted on the P4k FB group earlier. WOW.

have a look at this mate!

Also here is the document for the dvx200, which should be very similar to gh5 in terms of V-LOG!
