  1. I'm guessing he's referring to activating it using the Android app that I wrote a while ago that is linked in this post. I don't have a G9 so can't offer any advice over how it responds.
  2. Not sure if this was a question specifically for me ? I don't have a 5D Mark iii so better leave the specifics to those who do - particularly around usability/practicality - but, yeah, the image quality is certainly there from all I've seen of it.
  3. Day 4 of lockdown confinement. Some projects have been looked at but now I've discovered marble racing videos then I may have no need of any distraction. Sound on so you can hear the commentary and I defy you not to get invested in Comet's performance here
  4. Keep the little fellas safe though.
  5. No, I know. Germany has a specific foreign trade law to scrutinise and prohibit takeovers from non-EU countries if it threatens national security and order. https://www.pinsentmasons.com/out-law/guides/germanys-foreign-investment-regime The issue at hand really is whether he tried rather than whether he was thwarted Scooby Doo style by the meddling of those pesky kids.
  6. The German government are taking the report seriously enough to be discussing it today in their crisis meeting so we will see what we see. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/16/not-for-sale-anger-in-germany-at-report-trump-seeking-exclusive-coronavirus-vaccine-deal A cynic might wonder why if such a report as this, with attributed comments from named German politicians is indeed "fake news", why a certain someone who is so enamoured of that phrase isn't tweeting precisely that. With caps locks on and many, many exclamation marks. Great exclamation marks. The best exclamation marks ever, in fact.
  7. And yet here we are. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/15/trump-offers-large-sums-for-exclusive-access-to-coronavirus-vaccine
  8. Probably worth pointing out to younger readers that "Kiki Wipes" are not, as the name might otherwise suggest, an alternative product with which to circumvent the current toilet paper shortage.
  9. I've seen her demo the Tricaster at various shows in the recent past so I think she still works for them. And combining both aspects, here she is talking about another application of NDI
  10. Looking forward to seeing the results of the time lapse and milky way project @Trek of Joy My milky way project will mainly be eating the chocolate variety whilst not achieving anything on my list.
  11. Yeah, a Community Video project. We could call it COVID-20. No, hang on.
  12. If you haven't already, I'd offer a nudge towards investing some of that research time into NDI. Although its core use is to simplify video connections into a hardware or software switcher via a LAN (there are hardware adapters and apps to bring in regular cameras, PTZ cameras, phones and computers) with low latency, it also means that the sources and the switcher can be in entirely different locations using an NDI cloud service. As PTZ is part of the protocol this means you can do full remote production without requiring operators at the event. A lot of information is generally skewed towards Newtek switchers (as they invented the protocol) but there are much more affordable software options such as vMix that integrate it. https://www.ndi.cloud/secure.html https://www.vmix.com/ndi/
  13. It will double up as a worldwide wide angle lens test as well !
  14. I've bought so much of it that when the lockdown is lifted I'll be having to do some urban combat tactics for laxative purchasing to make sure I get the stockpile down !
  15. 'World Cup' was probably the wrong term as they are only held once every 4 years and I've managed to hoard enough lenses over the years to make it a daily event !
  16. My municipality is now in lockdown with travel restricted in and out and all bars, cafes, restaurants and leisure facilities closed. I'm pretty sure that it will last much longer than the 14 days currently decreed by the regional President and that we won't be fully back to normal for many months. Being confined to the house isn't too much of an issue for us work wise as we both work from here anyway (though boy did I get out of being a professional sports photographer at the right time as I would be fucked) but it does mean needing something else to fill up the non-working hours to stop us getting cabin fever. I'm guessing that a lot of people on here might well be about to experience similar confinement if they aren't already, so, trying to make lemonade out of lemons, what long put off projects will you be doing ? For me, aside from finishing a couple of the latter Final Fantasy games to get me sharp for the release of the VII remake next month , I think I might look at : Making a start on learning some Unreal Engine stuff Re-wiring/configuring my music studio Having a couple of lens world cup shootouts to try and thin the collection Developing a wireless interface for BM ATEM switchers Advanced urban combat tactics for hand sanitiser purchasing Be interesting to see what people are planning and seeing how those plans progress here to keep our spirits up ? Might even be a good time to have a "One Single Room In Your House Film Challenge"
  17. Unfortunately, one of the reported cases is two streets away ! I might drive up to Vera as it looks like that isn't in lockdown and if there is anything that will scare this virus away its the sight of me and a bunch of other fat Brits playing beach volleyball in the nude.
  18. There are a lot of second homes in this area owned by people from Madrid so they've targeted those areas to stop the influx from those fleeing it there as most of the positive tests in Murcia have come from people being in Madrid. Roadblocks et al. https://murciatoday.com/murcian_government_decrees_enforced_quarantine_of_a_guilas_san_pedro_san_javier_los_alca_zares_cartagena_la_unia_n_and_mazarra_n_1353560-a.html
  19. In Murcia, where I am, the President of the region has announced the restriction with immediate effect in coastal municipalities, one of which I live in. https://www.eldiario.es/sociedad/Ultima-hora-coronavirus-mundo-Espana_13_1000679924_40595.html
  20. The President of our region here in Spain has just announced that we can't travel in our local municipality to try and contain the spread of the virus because "there is no other option, from this moment there is no freedom of movement" Ironic really as I came here to get away from my own national government taking away my freedom of movement with their lunatic Brexit cult
  21. Depending on what happens in the next month, the price point in the UK will either be around £3.5K or two tins of soup, 20 sheets of toilet paper and two squirts of hand sanitiser. Plus VAT in both cases obviously.
  22. I'm not sure of what is the more ominous indicator of an impending end of days apocalypse, the COVID-19 virus or Canon releasing a camera with such a no holds barred spec.
  23. What the fu..... Oh you meant him. Hopefully
  24. The last time I flew mine, I got so close to a power line that I very nearly ended up with a literal drone sizzle.
  25. Lifted from Reddit last year so whilst there might be a Spam shortage in supermarkets there's clearly no shortage in this thread
