1DC is sweet and does have mojo. As far focusing, I find it tough coming from a 6D with Magic Lantern (used peaking) The small hd 501 on top is perfect for it though, and makes up for a bunch of the downsides like zebras, peaking, false color, LUTs for log. I like the full frame mode too, it takes to post sharpening really well.

I already did. Go to the link below. What I can't recall is if I mentioned in that thread how much more robust the Canon files are. I had much more room to grade with the Canon, whereas the Sony files just turned to mush. Granted I have seen cameras that were even more flexible when grading, but not with the feature-set and iso performance that the Canon offers. All around the Canon is well balanced and never feels anything less than Pro.

Even in stills mode the Canon looked better at high ISOs. When noise was present, it looked organic, while the Sony image was covered in the usual green pink multicolored speckles that ruin shots. 

The only edge I give the Sony was pure resolution. And in good lighting the Sony can deliver great stills. Comparing the video quality is pointless. The Sony always looks video, no matter lighting, camera motion, audio... there's just no getting away from it. Where the Canon can look very cinematic, with pleasing motion cadence and great colors. Different leagues. The Canon may cost double, but even then, it punches way above its weight class.

I've finally stopped looking for cameras. I now have a tool I can work with.  I've turned my attention to the craft and creating the look. Ordered gels, canned haze, and some soft boxes. Recently got a jib, and I'm loving that thing... Although I need practice. The 1DX MkII is squared away. No more blaming the camera. Now I have to bring my A-game to deliver the results. 

 

 

Thats a good plan. It's good to be at peace with your choice. I like to get camera obsessed every once in a while and then choose my tool and stick with it. The 1DXII is fantastic looking.

Can anyone post a 1dc frame with maybe the wideDR lut applied and the same shot with prolost picture profile for comparison?

Really I could care less about the numbers. My 1DX Mkii blows my Sony A7Rii out of the water... period. In every respect it's in another league. Anyone that doubts this just needs to do a back to back test of both cameras. And if you haven't done a side by side comparison, don't bother chiming in,  you simply cannot appreciate the difference until you see them both head to head. 

please share some images then. 

All of my 1dc clog files seem to have a green shift to them compared to the neutral or standard profiles. I'm using the LUTs from canons site to de-log and they all exhibit this shift. Am I the only one?

For the Ronin Extension rods, are you referring to the ones made by DJI?

To stay on the topic of gimbals, I was wondering if anyone here has owned or owns the Ronin-M? I was waiting to get the Pilotfly h2 but it never shipped no was ever any indicator given so gotta take what I can get.

The problem that I am currently having with the Ronin-M, though, is that no matter what I do to try and get the X axis balanced manually before running the Tuning App, it does not stay in place the way it should.

I had my buddy record me as I attempt to illustrate the problem. Any suggestions would be a Godsend. 

 

It seems like it's a bit bottom heavy since it always wants to roll back to center. I'd move the body up slightly, which may make the tilt a bit off. Sometimes you'll just have the mind the best comprise and let the motors do the rest. 

For what it's worth, I made this on the ronin-m with no lens mount and an unbalanced camera. It was my first shoot and I didn't have a chance to read on balancing.  It still performed pretty well.

the color gamut has a broader range to work with in post.

It's not a wider gamut, if you're referring to color gamut in it's true sense (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamut) Thats my only point. 

 

Clog having an enhanced color space is a myth. You can look at the data and both color spaces are nearly identical, as in if they were any closer together it'd be the same colorspace. If technicolor said something it was either because of the motion.jpeg format, which does seem to be richer than h264, or it was the act that it was a paid pump piece funded by Canon.

8bit Clog has about 2 stops more DR at the expense of less shades per stop. Thats it.

people become self aware once they realize a camera is on them.

Looks great! What lens?

This was the 50mm 1.2L at f/2

efficient 4k codec

full frame 4k

c-log

120fps 1080

60fps 4k

internal functions like false colors, peaking, custom crop marks

I'd be happy to pay in the 6k range.

This 1DC is sweet.I just had a day of hating CLOG until I found a LUT that works properly. This is over exposed by about a stop and then brought down in post before the lut.   The FF 1080P file sharpen nicely too.

Why not wait till 1Dxmii ?

4 year old tech (facepalm)

Because I got it for $2500 cheaper than a 1dx II. And it looks better. What's everyone use as a LUT for grading Log?

Just bought a 1DC for an affordable price.  Pretty pumped to start shooting with something that seemed so out of reach a few years ago. 

This 1dxII footage at 120 fps is gorgeous. I mean just beautiful. 

I sent mine back. I can't see the Lcd outdoors. The colors are funny. It overheats unpredictably. Beautiful 4K image though!

The manual says something about only recording 60fps 4K for around 10 seconds. Is this the case?

This video looks pretty great to me. Better than any other canon except maybe the 1dc at 4k, : 

Hey guys, just joined here. The main reason being that there are many users here who seem to  see the magic in the 5DII and III when it comes to skin tones and people. I find lots Sony fans just love the specs and detail. Anyway, I did love the a6300 image and wanted to test it out. All handheld and bad editing. But it's just a test. I do like the ITU709 color mode because it doesn't have that drab look that I've seen in so many other videos. I still enjoy the skin tones of my 6D more!
