Its better.....but the right hand side of the cabinet is going berserk at 0:37. Have you got a non-native lens you can put on it to rule out additional lens and AF corrections it might be making at the same time?

I'm not suggesting he did anything to mislead but the screen shots of him adjusting WB etc were of a completely different scene to the actual comparison footage with the RED. Can't see an ND filter on it (as they're usually clip on with smartphones so would be visible on the stuff where he's showing it on the gimbal with the RED). However, perhaps the most salient point here is that neither can you see any ND on the lens on the RED, so that would suggest they would both be on 1/800 hence why they aren't showing any difference.

I think the BMPCC/BMMCC/BMCC etc are fantastic sensor and storage solutions to base your own custom cinema setup on. Whereas I think the GH5 is a fantastic camera. With the BM stuff, they give you the insides but you have to provide the camera that goes around it, if that makes sense. Both very worthy approaches but both very different and one doesn't negate the other. I look at the BM stuff versus a GH5 like the Sigma Foveon cameras versus something like a Fuji X100F. Both APS-C, both fixed lens but the Fuji canes the Sigma at every turn for low light, speed and functionality but then you look at the RAW images from the Sigma. Thats not to say the GH5 can't make fantastic images because it demonstrably can but just that - like the Sigmas - within a smaller operating window of and with a lot more effort in post the BM stuff can make images that truly shine.

If you are OK with this being done from an Android app then its not a massive deal. You'd have to set the base exposure in manual mode from the app but as long as the calculated brackets don't exceed the particular camera's preset shutter speeds (possible with those sorts of ranges) then it will be OK.

It depends on the size of the power bank but we are measuring in hours rather than minutes. I ran that test the other week with a 4000mAh one and got bored after two hours of powering one and it had run down one out of 4 bars on the indicator. They are literally credit card sized but a bit thicker so even carrying a spare isn't going to be a hardship. Something like this one will work as is and even has the acrylic case which you could store the power bank in (in the space where the raspberry pi would have gone) I think @Kisaha has just ordered this one or one near identical to it https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5-HDMI-LCD-1920x1080-Touch-Screen-IPS-Display-Kit-for-Raspberry-Pi-1-2-3-EB/332253259667?epid=24003437661&hash=item4d5bd66793:g:CLQAAOSwH09ZNoG6 The ones I'm sourcing are designed for VR headsets so they're OLED and better native resolution but the price is a fair bit higher. I've got a 5.5 inch 2K 450Nit one just come in from China to evaluate from the same supplier so I'll see how that goes first. With regard to the remote control, this is a readily available one that covers most functionality. https://www.cinegearpro.co.uk/products/cgpro-bmmcc-bmmsc-focus-zoom-record-remote-controller There is scope to do something like that integrated in a handle for example with a display as well and even an Android remote interface to it. Basically, these things are all Arduino based boards that talk to the camera so there is no end of things you could attach to it in terms of thumbsticks and switches to have dedicated direct control of all the key functions. It all depends on what someone would want. That one for £99 is not bad though.

Yeah, the Video Assist is what they would like you to use with it but, like all the 4K recorder ones for GX80 etc being 7", you end up with a ridiculous situation where its dwarfs, unbalances and generally takes away the point of a compact system. I've found some 3.5 inch 720p displays that I'm going to pimp my DIY EVF with which would be ideal as they can be powered off a gentle following breeze (well, a credit card thin USB power bank). LukiLink would be a good solution as well when it ships. I've no idea what the sales have been like for the micro but I've always expected them to drop in price and they never have as I'd probably be very tempted at a lower price. It just that little bit too much when I add up all the other bits I'd need to make it complete.

These adapters can help the battery situation so you can use long run Sony batteries. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Change-Canon-LP-E6-to-SONY-F570-F770-F970-Battery-Pack-Adapter-Holder-to-Sony-/310795410767 As for a monitor, I think BMD are keen on everyone buying their Video Assist for it The remote control options via the expansion port cable set are very interesting with the BMMCC. I've seen some quite cool home made hardware remotes for it.

The theory is that its this one. Based on the specs, it would add up. https://www.sony-semicon.co.jp/products_en/new_pro/may_2017/imx294cjk_e.html It is also used in astronomy cameras as well so there does in theory exist a way to make your own very ghetto 4K raw C mount camera system by attaching it to a high end windows tablet. As the module is quite small, it wouldn't be too dissimilar conceptually to what is being shown on this thread attaching the RX0 to an Atomos. Not dissimilar prices either. https://www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-cameras/zwo-asi-294mc-usb-30-colour-camera.html Someone has done a video here

EDIT>>>>> I'm trying to be less argumentative so I've deleted my original response to this but suffice to say that you couldn't have missed the point of my posts more if it they'd been written in invisible ink. I do hope you can see the irony in your offering the sage advice that 'not every camera is for everyone' immediately after criticising someone for explaining exactly why - in its current form - that camera isn't right for them though. <<<<< EDIT

It reminded me of this

Yes, its 3. I've had a few times with the X-T2 where it doesn't run them down in a sensible fashion where the internal one drops before the other two which means I have to take the grip off to get to it for swapping out which is a pain in the arse. It can run without the internal one and just uses the ones in the grip so thats often a better solution as you can leave the grip on permanently then. The problem I have with the battery life with my work is that I have to leave the camera on as it needs to be grabbed and be ready for work instantly like a DSLR would be and I found it a bit too docile in waking up again if I had the power management on. Added to the fact that I have to be in boost mode as well doesn't help so whilst it won't chew through all 3 in a game, it can, depending on how busy I've been with it, need one swapping. What doesn't help with the X-T2 as well is that the power switch is extremely easy to move to the On position when its being transported in a bag so I had a few times of arriving at a stadium and unpacking a very warm camera that had ate 3 batteries so now I make sure its got none in when its travelling !

Its quite informative to take frame grabs from YouTube clips and bring them into FCPX and look at them on the scopes and see how much some people often leave behind and how other people are eeking out everything thats there. You can do it in real time too if you attach your Atomos as a second screen on your computer and display the YouTube window on that

It certainly enjoys consuming batteries when its in boost mode thats for sure. The good thing about the grip though is being able to power it externally if needs be. They make the AF pretty tuneable so hopefully they might do the same with the IBIS but there is a danger with that much tweakability you can end up in a bigger mess so I could understand why they wouldn't.

Indeed. I wasn't expecting miracles from it but I suppose the rule of thumb is if you can see it working then its not really working as you need it to and its just too jarring for me. The IBIS has gone from a deal maker to a deal breaker for me when it comes to switching from my X-T2 as it was really the single most compelling reason. Still, its Fuji so it ain't over til the firmware fairy has been!

Yeah, the second one was one of the ones I saw where I thought "Have you actually got IBIS enabled on the A7iii ?" and looking at the comments, I wasn't the only one ! In the first video though, whilst it obviously canes the A7iii again, I can still see the same sort of coarse changes. If you look at between 2:07 and 2:10 just as an example, the water pipe does an abrupt move to the left from one frame to another. I've pulled three frames here and done a difference overlay to show how it is transitioning from the first two frames (where nothing much but the bush is moving) to the one where it has to do some work and makes the jump. In the brickwork, there is slewing as might be expected but also some scaling changes that all adds up to a bit of a mess that I think is what is making it so jarring. I'm not some mad pixel peeper as a rule but some of these transitions I'm seeing are very rough as are the less than subtle scaling changes even when its not being taxed too much. Its like a Scooby Doo transition at times though

For £26K I think I'd go for the Hasselblad H6D-100C and get some medium format RAW 4K. I reckon it probably takes decent stills as well Now DJI own them, I do wonder how long it'll take to filter down to an Osmo !

All of his stuff is straight out of the camera so I think IBIS, rolling shutter and lens correction got together and had a party.

The A7iii looked abysmal in one side by side I saw so, yeah, even accounting for the different sensor size the Fuji fares well in comparison. I just don't like what I'm seeing it doing when it does hiccup though in that its almost like an entire frame has skipped. I mean, obviously it hasn't but its a similarly jarring thing. There are a whole lot of things wrong with this Cameralabs test (not least the shutter speed) but watch for example from 18 seconds onwards at the blue wall on the left. I've pulled out a sequence of frames here and there is a fair degree of sliding and warping in the image that troubles me and when I saw it in motion it looked like an unnatural jump between frames 2 and 3. Yes, its not something I would do with it myself but I've seen quite a few examples of it doing this on less extreme motion. I'm going to have to try one myself and see what its like.

I think this Fringer EF>FX with AF adapter (when its ever available in stock again!) and the upcoming Kipon version with the focal reducer will make a big difference. I have to say though that the IBIS on the X-H1 bothers me more every time I look at demos on YouTube and is making me sit it out for a while yet to see how it progresses. It concerns me more than the AF issues actually. With those you can always workaround it (by using your own eyes ) but some of the coarse corrections I've seen on people's demos are terrible and, of course, permanent. Of course, I'm basing this purely on watching other people's footage rather than personal experience so thats a big disclaimer right there and I'm hoping someone who actually owns one can contradict it. There is a lot of curiosity about whether Fuji will do a firmware update for the X-T2 for internal F-Log and/or Eterna and I have to say if I was them I would steer clear of that for a good while as, for me at least and I'm sure a few others, if it has those then I can't see enough in the current IBIS performance to make me upgrade to the X-H1.

Probably because they've had RAW on the NX1 as far back as when they were building the pyramids.

Epic, Raven, Monstro, Scarlet, Weapon, Dragon, Helium and now Gemini. I'm no fan of the boring naming convention of other cameras but that sounds like the lineup at an 80s heavy metal festival.

Why not make it international and semi-virtual ? Get 10 films from your local area and 10 from other countries that are submitted electronically. Get a Skype connection to do a live Q&A with the international film maker. Then we could all reciprocate by hosting a similar event where we live. A whole international circuit of interconnected independent festivals at minimum expense.

No. Haha....yes, of course. I just like the drama

MTF Services were doing an FZ adapter for them a couple of years ago. https://www.newsshooter.com/2016/02/23/bve-2016-mtf-mounts-for-veydra-prime-lenses/ I don't see it listed on their site but it might be worth dropping them an email https://www.mtfservices.com
