Olympus pro range of MFT lenses have it and some of the premium ones such as the 12mm f2.0 and 17mm f1.8.

You'd have to ask Andrew as I only supplied a lens and some swearing to that video. Licensing is a real minefield, more often than not with different rights holders for the actual music and the particular recorded version of it you want to use and different rates depending on use type. YouTube do have some options to keep you legal and avoid takedowns on their platform so a guide like this is a good starting point. https://www.lifewire.com/legally-add-copyrighted-music-youtube-1616424

I think that is just to address BM's v6.9.5 firmware killing the general compatibility with Viltrox rather than adding the focus stuff. V6.9.5 was a bit of a nightmare as it also killed Bluetooth operation of the cameras but BM have now released v6.9.6 yesterday to resolve it so maybe Viltrox will now have to patch their fix to back to what it was ! Be good if you or anyone else who has one could have a quick test of it though as I get a lot of enquries about what adapter to get for my focus controllers so it would be good to offer a lower cost option than the Metabones.

One thing to bear in mind about the Viltrox adapters - unless they have upgraded their firmware recently ? - is that unlike the Metabones ones they don't support electronic focus control on the P4K. So, touch AF won't work for example and nor will any add on adapters that interface with the camera's focus control functions. Might not be relevant if you have no intention of using any sort of electronic focus control but worth bearing in mind if you do. If anyone does know if there have been any firmware updates from Viltrox recently to enable it though then please chime in about which models as I have a vested interest in knowing which ones they are !

Some terribly cynical opportunism and profane language from whoever was stood near you when that Ferrari ran off the road there.

So....considering how they did a cripple number on the $5K mirrorless to protect their cinema line it does beg the question what they will have done to an actual cinema camera at $6K to protect the ones above it. They might well surprise us but I'm guessing most people will be quietly humming this waiting for the answer to that as the press conference unfolds.

I thought so, which is why I was surprised at the $200 figure as its less than 100 in the, erm, "World Series" style denomination. There is absolutely no way that I will be doing do the same thing to buy a GFX100 in Tokyo for €3K less than it is in Madrid. Absolutely no way at all. Not until the immigration restrictions are lifted.

$200 US or Australian ? The Contour ShuttlePro v2 is only €90/$99US so it should be under $150 AUS, how much import duty are you paying over there 😉

You might want to look at one handed programmable keyboards designed for gamers too as they are relatively cheap (circa €25-35), have a lot more keys and have wrist wrests which makes them a bit more comfortable for long sessions. Plus, garish RGB lights of course !

Well compared to the BM controller they're not so its all relative 🙂 I use the jog/shuttle all the time (I even developed an interface to be able to use it with LumaFusion on the ipad) but I'm an old fart who grew up with that sort of interface from the tape days. With the jog/shuttle and its surrounding keys mapped for play/pause, mark in/out, insert to timeline, previous/next edit point and zoom in/out, I find it really fast to cut with. Its not just the mapping (as that can be done with anything) but its the way the keys are positioned around the jog/shuttle that makes it more intuitive and, as a consequence, faster for me personally.

When dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was starting off as a tape op, Beyer DT100s were all a boy needed and I used to wear them all day long. I use Audio Technica ATH-M50s now and I can still do fairly long stretches with them but the DT100s still edge it for me in terms of duration. I don't like the way either option messes up my bouffant though.

I think its a Sony AX100 (or one the variants as they have a few cameras that share the same shell) and the images themselves been flipped horizontally. Unless Sony have released a limited edition left handed version.

If you don't mind paying a bit more then you might want to look at something like the Delux T11. This video shows it is a real world comparison in Resolve versus using keyboard shortcuts. To be honest though, if you are looking to get a slice of the editing acceleration that the DaVinci edit controller gives you then I think you could do a lot worse than the Contour ShuttlePro v2. I think a lot of people have forgotten about it because its been out so long but it really does offer some good functionality. You can combine it with one of the cheap programmable keyboards if you like too and also do the same with the cheaper Contour ShuttleXPress if you just want the jog/shuttle wheel and a few programmable buttons.

Check your inbox in about 90 seconds 😉 We downloaded and tested it early this morning and all is good now.

I don't remember Canon being particularly keen on a trusted journalist from the BBC getting a grip of them when they launched the EOS-R !

I suppose that technically you should report that to Canon as a bug 🙂

By the by but giving out advance copies of the firmware to YouTube "influencers" to make videos of them testing it who didn't lift a leg to test or raise any objection to this issue in the first place is not a good look for Canon.

DEVELOPMENT UPDATE AFX has five user selectable focus transition modes. When the transition mode is set to Off, no transition is applied and the AFX snaps immediately to the new focus point. When the mode is set to 1,2 or 3 then an increasing preset length of transition is applied from the current focus point to the new focus point. The final mode is called Natural and applies a transition that is based upon the distance between the current and new focus points meaning that the greater the distance the longer the transition. Focus transition mode is available in both AF-S and AF-C modes.

Cripple Hammer Live Cam when Canon read about people using workarounds for their cunning plan.

Shhhh.... I'm very much happy to be the Stuart Sutcliffe/Pete Best of this saga when you all get sued for inciting people to break their cameras 😉

It sounds like they've broken it in a very creative way then ! I think this update was for external control of the cameras by the ATEM Mini ? So it sounds like there might be a conflict there. They've acknowledged it publicly at least but I don't know what "ASAP" means in BM terms but I'm guessing it won't be too long in coming.

It certainly helps with the diagnosis if not the issue ! It appears that Blackmagic have broken Bluetooth in 6.9.5 and are doing a fix. If they had made changes then I'd sort out a firmware update but they've flat out broken it so the solution is to roll back or wait on them unfortunately.
