Yes, that's a common way to transport a cinema camera during a shoot, or on the AC's lap. 
Otherwise inside a really large camera bag. You might remove the monitor/EVF to make it easier to transport the camera, but otherwise leave it all rigged up as is. 

In case of you are not able to use a large camera bag to cover the camera and you are planing to transport it in a seat of the car with the seat belt, which I use most of the time, also use a blanket, a jacket or whatever you have available to cover the camera, you really don't want anybody to notice you are transporting a cinema camera.

I just can't wait for the news, just hope rolling shutter is decent, R6 looks like the choice for me, let's see......

$6000 for that zombie skin tone color?, no thanks, I hope we will see a huge improvement in that area so I can consider to add this camera to the list.

if Komodo not only get the RF mount, but also some kind of DPAF from Canon, it is really going to be in my list, I love RED footage, so easy to work with and so much room to grade, also I have a R1 which could be a perfect match....let's see, if not good enough I will go R6 route.

anyone can tell us if there is an improvement in autofocus?, compared to DPAF?

I don't know of any specific tutorial for this one. But my two tips for this specific recorder (beyond all the general recording which is true for everything you might use) is:
1) enable dual recording
2) buy a slim USB powerbank, and velcro it to the back of your DR60D, use this to power the recorder

excellent, many thanks!

The DR60Dmk2 is only roughly an inch bigger in each direction than the Beachtek DXA-MICRO-PRO PLUS you referenced before. (plus the DR60Dmk2 isn't as long as the H6, and also the Tascam has much better ergonomics to be mounted with the camera than the Zoom H6. The Tascam DR60Dmk2 is better ergonomics too if you wish to work independently from camera as a boom op with a field mixing bag)

There is also the Tascam DR70D (only twenty bucks more than the Beachtek DXA-MICRO-PRO PLUS), which is a smaller height than the DR60D.

Thanks IronFilm for all the knowledge, I have been also looking for an external audio recorder for a while and the DR60Dmk2 is certainly in my limited budget, I think I will get one soon, is there a youtube tutorial you recommend to watch for this audio recorder?

R6 will still be announced next month as rumored.

Hopefully it still have 422 10bit and clog like R5 do.  It will be using a different sensor than 1DX III even thought both are 20MP.

This is the camera that most of us will be afford to get.

R6 looks promising, I do not need 8K, if it has the features showed in the rumors plus 422 10bit, clog and DPAF, is the way to go for most of us.

I find that to be (broadly/roughly) true as well!

But reason I believe is simple: when I'm busy shooting, I'm literally too busy! No time to think about upgrades. 

The troubles start when I'm locked in at home, with time on my hands, and an internet connection....

 

I hear you man!, I have been in lockdown for a month now and I spend hours and hours in eBay, looking for things I really do not need, but for some reason my brain think this is the best time to get them....ohh Gosh!!!!.

Thanks God Canon announced the R5, my mind blow away and discarded everything else, now at least I will have some months of peace of mind waiting for my dream camera.

Here's an informative interview about viruses that move from animals to humans and how scientists track down their origin https://www.wnyc.org/story/new-coronavirus-wont-be-the-last-outbreak-to-move-from-animal-to-human

excellent article, scientists data is always welcomed to show some lights in any topic.

i dont think animals are the issue, animals are quite content to keep doing what they have been doing for thousands of years and not bothering anyone, lets not take it out on the poor animals. I live in the country, i'm probably surrounded by thousands if not millions of wild animals ranging from bugs up to kangaroos, wild dogs and wild pigs and deer. There are two issues at play here 1) Its mankind in general thats the issue. Whenever man interferes with natural order of things, things get out of kilter very quickly. whether thats an algae bloom or pig / bird virus. My generation and the ones that have come after it, have benefited greatly from vaccinations and penicillin. but if you asked a virus expert they'd probably agree that microbes are starting to fight back.  2) god gave Israel food laws, some animals  are clean and good to eat, some are unclean and not good to eat. there's probably a bloody good reason why bats are unclean and bad to eat.  England learnt this lesson what ? 20 years ago with mad cow disease, there are some things, one shouldn't stick in your mouth or the mouths of other animals. That's why you should only buy 100% grass fed beef and lamb from aus/nz 😀

  China doesn't like looking bad in front of other countries any whistle blower in china is unlikely to survive the experience. Regardless or whether is is manufactured or mutated from the wild. Tienanmen Square should prove that beyond reasonable doubt,   I'm willing to bet that china would have loved to go into hong kong and the other areas that have been protesting recently with a few tanks and soldiers. The only thing keeping those protesters safe is the large amount of the worlds media being there to keep an eye on things.

getting back on topic, should you not be successful in obtaining a sony,  bmd do make a fairly viable option i'm sure 😉

I agree, the issue are not the animals, are the humans and how they use them, that's the reason I am vegetarian, but the empirical data tell us where humans are in contact with wild animals not following minimum protocols the virus transmission will continue to happens, most of them in Africa, like AIDS, and China, like different Virus.

So the only solution is humans to use better protocols, and move away wild animal from large cities.

Yes, the filmmaker and his family sadly were not found a bed in hospital. They could have been saved. I also find it extremely sad and suspicious that the two main doctors who blew the whistle early on are dead.. One of them in his 30's. The virus has a 2% mortality rate and tends to impact old people worse, so the chances of a fit and healthy 30 year old doctor dying from the virus alone are very slim. I think there are factors at play we don't know about.

I also find it hard to believe the virus came from a fish market, or from some sort of sneezing snake.

Far more likely to have originated from the Wuhan institute of virology.

"The laboratory took over a decade to complete from its conception in 2003, and scientists such as U.S. molecular biologist Richard H. Ebright expressed concern of previous escapes of the SARS virus at Chinese laboratories in Beijing, and the pace and scale of China's plans for expansion into BSL–4 laboratories."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuhan_Institute_of_Virology

Why were the Chinese government so keen to cover it up in the first month of infection?

It could even be possible for research lab animals to be sold on the black market and end up at the wild animals market in Wuhan.

I understand your suspicious but the reality is that wild animals have transmitted viruses to human race from the beginning of the times, I hear the same suspicious about AIDS when it was known by the public in the 80's, a decease created in a lab released against gay community, etc. Now has been confirmed after some years of research that AIDS was transmitted from monkeys in Africa to humans around 1910-20, since the virus has been found in old samples from early 40's in Africa from people killed by an unknown decease. The most probably cause of the Corona virus creation is a mutation of the original virus from a wild animal like always, and this is going to continue happening in places where humans are in close contact with wild animals, like China and Africa.

I hope China will finally learn from this bad experience and most probably will ban in the future markets for wild animal close to big cities.

Any clue regarding the price range for the R5?, will it be close to $4K or $6K?

Wow. If Sony can fix their general image/color issues, these could be huge. Either way, they'll sell really well, especially a full-frame Sony FX6 - craziness. These two cameras might be Sonys return back to the top of the specifications and feature list for the best price. Surely FX9 will be much cheaper than the Canon C500II (I'm guessing $10-12k) and the FS5 will come in right around the C200/EVA-1 launch price ($7kish).

 

Well, if the price is around $10-12, it is game over for 99% of people in this forum....I don't understand why Sony can only produce good skin tones in expensive cameras, we need it in every camera, no matter the price.

Not necessarily. They could have negotiated a license with limited rights for a lower fee. That is not unusual in the tech industry. You would do something like that if a particular feature was not necessary for your product, it is a means of managing costs and improving your margin.

I love Canon color, I have an original C100 and I love it,  and I have been waiting for ages for a good 4K camera at a good price, don't care about IBIS, don't care about FF sensor, S35 is good enough for me...but I do care about DPAF, the best useful feature from Canon...and even loving Canon, it is clear to me like a summer morning, these two cameras were cripple, try to argue against it is really stupid, it is so obvious....removing 24fps and people acting like fools trying to justify it is beyond understanding....gosh, we will have to continue waiting for Canon to wake up, I don't put any money to the PRO EOS R, that is going to be so expensive that I could probably be able to buy an Alexa for the same money, If Canon just upgrade the firmware in the RP for DPAF in 4K, we could have such a winner.....

There's no reason it won't. EFs are made for APSC sensors, which this is. The only reason they don't work on speed boosters is because the glass in the booster stops the lens from clicking into onto the mount. On the P6k, there's no glass between the mount and the sensor, so nothing to get in the way.

I am not fan of BM cameras, but this new P6K with EF mount looks unbelievable attractive.....I can see myself getting one of this next year.  

I hope to see sooner than later......a HUGE improvement....

Awesome shots man, really nice

Just a quick question, sorry if it was answered before, do this LUT works with GH4 footage?, or GH4 footage recorder with an Atomos external recorder?, any examples around?

I do agree, the trailer could be much MUCH better I feel, given what the content probably is. 

Which goes back to one of my first points:

"What is your elevator pitch?"

That should help you focus down on what your trailer should be about. 

 

I agree with all the comments above about the trailer, it urgently needs a re-do, it is lacking emotion, do not show the guy in front of the camera, only show actions and voice-over, make us feel emotionally involved in the rescue of the dogs....

That is pitiful little, have you looked into renting a FS7 elsewhere? Someone who actually has a properly equipped FS7 

The best solution was to get the Ninja Assassin, now I have more Than 1TB, renting an FS7 elsewhere is going to be a lot more expensive, and I can use the Ninja also with my new (old) GH4 when I am SOLO, at the end I think I made the best choice....

lmao why not just record in XAVC L instead of I and get longer record times...

Even with that not enough media, 128GB in total if I remember correctly, with the Ninja I have 1,256 TB.
