    Has anyone in Europe bought this from outside Europe for cameras without the 30min limit? I was looking for stores in Hong Kong. Someone surgesteed personal-view.com but I don't know anything about them. Shame to see DigitalRev is only selling with the kit lens and it's out of stock. Anyone know of any HK or any other trustworthy online stores where I can buy one? Thanks.

    Personal View has a good reputation for their deals. Vitaly, who runs the site, is the guy that originally hacked the GH1/GH2 Panasonics..

    Mojo seems to work really well with Visioncolor - seems alot more effective than with my panasonic footage for some reason, possibly because Mojo was released at the height of the DSLR/Canon revolution, so perhaps optimised for Canon's... I like Mojo alot, it can be such a quick way to get a great look happening! 

    I read that the way Mojo affects colours puts some priority to isolating/protecting the skin tones, and also that Visioncolor gives a similar attention to the skin colour range - there does seem to be some synergy happening with these two products!

    Check out the VisionColor profiles - definitely my favourites.. might have to try Kendy's though.. if it is as good or better than Visiontech I will be v happy :)

    Hey Tupp.. I tried the test again, with some interesting results.. used this static.. https://vimeo.com/10893761 btw the link from before was a text file of the mediainfo results of the file.. 

    anyways, tried the test a few more times, got some failures, first at a minute, then sooner.. the focus might have been off on some earlier ones, so less detail for the sensor.. the files that stopped were getting up to 120 Mbps, so I lowered it from 3.5 to 2.8x - giving more stable (3 min) recordings at around 60-65 Mbps .. pretty good I reckon for a 40 MB/s Sandisk Ultra card..  will try a faster card soon. 

    I'm not 100% sure if I have TL or ML with the all-I.. it's a build from 2015.. 2015-08-22 nightly build according to the info screen..

    Thanks Tweak... stunning colours.. can you remember what lens you used on that one? I did try the raw on a 50d, had a slow card though, so couldn't get the higher rez .. I hate shooting crop too:) I sold it, but the memories of it's colours bought me back to canon!

    I'm pretty happy with 3x h264 and all-I at the moment - I'm more used to cc and grading now, the footage responds really well so far. Will post some soon :)

    I'm not even sure if it is TL.. some build I found from 2015.. it's running stable now, so I don't want to touch it! I thought there was software to remove the pink dots in raw? Might not be able to resist trying it out..

    Please help me with audio issue!

    Izotpe RX all day long.. on a totally different level than most any other nr.. plug ins like the nr in premiere seem to be about the same as the ones we had in 1995 (Steinberg Wavelab) ... back then CEDAR nr systems were like 100k pounds for the full setup.. RX was a revelation when it was released - learning curve is steep though, and it takes a fine touch to get rid of the noise, without killing the hi end, and detail.. if I were you, I would take gh2sound up on his offer, you will be amazed I'm sure.. if most built in nr is like a Moped, RX3 is like a Ferrari- and sure, someone like me or you could maybe get it around a racetrack, but a real racing driver would be so much faster :)

    Give it a go yourself for sure, but even if you master the software, someone who has used it alot like gh2sound would get better results just from experience..

    On Ebay, EOSM bodies are selling for as low as US$135.    That's a nice little inexpensive backup camera!  In addition, it is very versatile in regards to lenses and adapters.  I have a focal reducer, a tilt-swing adapter and a couple of adapters (one dummy Nikkor and one smart Canon EF).

     

    The ability to do tilt-swing on APS-C with full frame lenses in amazing, and the focal reducer effectively makes the APS-C a full frame sensor!

     

     

    If you just want to boost the h264 bitrate, you are probably better off going with ML, rather than TL.  TL is older and probably less stable (although it seems that the most recent ML builds write odd colors to the Canon menus on the EOSM).

     

    Consider using TL for getting all-I frames in h264 (along with boosted bitrate), but you can compile ML to offer all-I frames on the EOSM.

     

     

    Yeah, I was very interested in the all-i, tried it out but it seems you loose audio - and having that audio input was a big reason I got this little beast.. 

    Just tried it again, it seems to be working ok with audio now at 3.0x bitrate, and all-I .. :)

    Hi everyone, I picked up one of these cool little cam's today, because I miss Canon colours! Got it almost setup, installed tragic lantern, that's all ok.. I messed around with 50d raw a few years ago, so I know my way around ML a bit.. not using the ml raw for now, just going high bitrate h264..

    Anyways..  I thought I had set everything to full manual, and it seems mostly ok, but my shutter speed keeps fluctuating, and I can't work out why.. I don't remember this happening on the 50d - any Canon/ML experts know why this is happening? I tried to switch any auto settings off, but must have missed something..

    VisionTech seems easy to dial in all those classic teal colours.. something like magic bullet mojo seems to work really nicely with it. It warms up well too, it just seems to react best for me if you want to push the colours.

    I think you have to give it one more day of term and does not meet its commitments, not publicly discuss what action to take, since you are reading this forum, let Andrew and the oldest forum (Council of Elders) I took the wisest decision.
