Thats a really nice find. The lack of power requirement and small form factor makes it ideal for cameras like the S9 etc and the BM cameras like the Micro but also for the Pocket4K. It doesn't really have to be the absolute pinnacle with all the bells and whistles as a lot of the time with something EVF less like the S9 etc as you just need it as an add on for when shooting outdoors. I'm surprised someone hasn't been buying these, slapping their own logo on and selling them on for twice the price. CineFran would've done exactly that if he hadn't moved on to barefaced retro console emulation scamming.

It’s unfortunate that AI has such a weird issue generating hands as it would be ideal for the camera to also create something that looked more natural when it is doing the selfie stick removal. Aa it stands everyone is walking round in these videos looking like a 1970s Action Man with the gripping hands. Its an impressive camera though all the same.

Surely the gymfluencers will be flocking to the S1Rii after that recent magnum opus ?

Well with one country being run by a tit and the other country selling so much tat, it is quite apt that these tit for tat exchanges will go on for quite a while yet.

There are legion scenes in The Thick Of It where they absolutely nailed the Tory party but this one reigns supreme.

Sorry @eatstoomuchjam I can see how I’ve muddied the waters there as I was just illustrating how components of a system would attract different rates. The Ursa Cine 12K and its media module would’ve been a great example of that if it was “Chinese” enough to get hit and as BM didn’t hike the price to reflect that then I’m guessing it isn’t. But it might be later on today when the next random move happens. And then rescinded the next day etc etc

When BM announced the PYXIS price hike, it was an increase in price that was in line with it being manufactured in China. So they themselves must have considered it would be hit. Subsequently, it now isn’t in line with that even though the tariffs remain on China so logically (ironic to have logic mentioned in this nonsensical trade war) BM have subsequently changed where it will be made as they do have manufacturing in several countries. The “substantial transformation” aspect of the rules of origin calculation also give a pathway for mitigating tariff impact as I said the other day by them separating the hardware and the software of their cameras as they are just a box of cheap bits without the software. Clearly by no longer having the PYXIS price increased in line with the China tariff, BM have found another way from what their original intention was via either route and they must be confident it will survive a challenge. As they don’t have a definitive shipping date they were able to do this without having a ton of stock inbound to the US and they will also be able to absorb any delay incurred in the change of plan by just extending the actual release date. It’s not like the customers will complain about a delay if the result is the price not being hiked and, of course, it’s BM so no one was expecting it to ship on time anyway !

Here is the list of the new exemptions. https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDHSCBP/bulletins/3db9e55 The general HTS code for cameras is 8025. So they are not included in the list. As it currently stands, if you buy the Ursa Cine 12K then you will be hit with 150% for the camera but not the media module. All of this is “as it currently stands” because he’s probably not finished his morning double cheeseburger yet so is almost certainly subject to further “strategic alterations” and all the new tariffs are removed over the next two weeks. I’m surprised they didn’t disappear in real time while I was reading the document.

When it was dawning on the hard of thinking here that Brexit was a load of old bollocks they just doubled down on the delusion using their weapon of choice, the piss poor home made sign. The weapons of choice for Trump’s disciples when the penny drops might be a bit more problematic for him.
