    BTM_Pix got a reaction from Adept in Pistol Grip - still relevant?   
    I've been asked via PM regarding is it possible to use a pistol grip with the MOVO foldable rig so thought it better to share the answer here in case anyone else needs it.
    The answer is yes, you can use one such as this cheapie from Amazon and screw it into the mounting plate either fore or aft of the camera. As the MOVO also has mounting points on all of its arms you could side mount it with any number of adapters if you'd prefer it on either side of the camera. 
    Once its on you can then do the usual shaping stuff with the MOVO to use it as a shoulder mount or top handle as shown in the inset pic.
    Handle I'm using is this one here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer-Handheld-Stabilizer-Panasonic-Samsung/dp/B018LQEFL4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1501604216&sr=1-1&keywords=Neewer+Camera+Handle+Pistol+Grip

    I'm going to pimp this again!
    Really flexible (literally) thing that can adapt itself to numerous support functions and thanks to the mounting threads all over it can have other things like monitors and recorders attached to it as well.

    Yes.
    There are two polls running on here for features and controller choice.
    So its very close now. 
    A bit delayed because there will be some different hardware that its going to run on so I need to re-write stuff but its weeks rather than months.

    Same as M43, you can get adapters to Fuji X from virtually any mount so from CY to Nikon to PL and all points in between.
    The Nikon lens turbos are cheap and give some great options with the X-T2 or X-T20
    My love affair with the X-T20 hit the rocks on last night's job when the spring went in the memory card slot. Had to fish the card out like getting ketchup out of a bottle with a knife.

    You could do with some sort of hardware controller that let's you adjust the exposure compensation on the fly using dedicated buttons....

    Read the spec sheet, saw all of the things it doesn't have, saw the price, know full well I have zero lenses for it.....

    Turns out the TL2 is much improved right up until the point you attach their Visoflex EVF at which point it, erm, breaks.
    Sales suspended until they fix it and seems as big a failure in testing as Leica have had since they decided on Victoria Beckham as a good candidate for a bit of celebrity product placement.

    BTM_Pix got a reaction from EthanAlexander in NETFLIX: Which 4K Cameras Can You Use to Shoot Original Content? (missing F5! WTH?!?)   
    Been doing some extensive research myself overnight.
    Its called Terre d'Hermès apparently and according to the manufacturer its "a symbolic narrative revolving around a raw material and its metamorphosis. A novel that expresses the alchemical power of the elements. A water somewhere between the earth and the sky. A journey imbued with strength and poetry. Woody, vegetal, mineral."
    I'll be dousing myself in this and inviting Sofia over for what I believe the youngsters call "Netflix and chill".
    Or "Netflix from an approved list of 4K capable originating cameras and chill" as its known on here.

    I decided that poring over the list of what cameras I could use for a Netflix film was distracting me from my other concerns such as what amp Paul McCartney would prefer me to use on his next album and the approved list of colognes to wear on a date with Sofia Vergara.

    "That's a vile accuracy"...
     
    C-mount lenses look confusing and problematic...
    I'll dumb down my focus all the way - shoot with back button focus on the AF lens and forget about anything fancy. Is that the best thing to do with AF lenses?
    And I'll maybe try follow focus with a c-mount lens or my Takumar, then get the lenses jonpais suggested - or the Voightlanders ? - if I get interested enough.

    Are we going on a double date?

    Anyway, I agree such discussions and not terribly practical! But they are FUN :-D 

    Plus sometimes interesting and practical points do arise naturally from such discussions.
