    BTM_Pix got a reaction from Andrew Reid in 3C Cinema Camera Controller App for Pocket 4K - OFFICIAL LAUNCH   
    These are the key mappings for the two joysticks (the 8Bitdo is the small one)

    As the 8Bitdo is mapped to be used in a vertical orientation, it will be as follows 

    There is currently no option for re-mapping keys inside the application but it is something that could be incorporated into a future version.
    You might also want to keep an eye on our PBC controller as for gimbal use as although it is primarily designed as a Rec/Stop controller (plus one additional one shot function) and monitor, it will have an expansion option for additional hardware switches that you can map to aperture/iso etc.

    This is how its done on a ThinkTank Hydrophobia so you will need to replicate this.

     
    At its most basic level then, you can do this in a DIY fashion by removing the EVF cup and cutting a hole in the plastic cover to snugly fit around the EVF that the removal of the cup has exposed but keeping the mounting rails for the cup exposed.
    Then when you want to use it, you remove the EVF cup, press the cover onto the camera and slide the EVF cup back on and the overhang from the cup will hold it in place.
    As I'm being extra helpful this morning, I have just produced this handy guide illustrating that poorly described process via the medium of a Fuji X-T2, a plastic bag and some scissors

    I'm hoping Jinnitech crack open the original 1.8 RedMag and find there is just a couple of cassette tapes in it so I can join in the lawsuit !
    Nice work !

    He doesn't deserve it?
    RED have accused him of all sorts in a court case that had been running for nearly 3 years that has now been dismissed.
    A company owned by a multi-billionaire trying to bully a tiny operation out of business based on absolutely bogus claims and he's had to keep his mouth shut about it?
    I think he deserves to be able to make it into a 5 part mini-series after all that.
    Not to mention be bought a drink by everyone who will benefit from what he has laid out there.

    Now I never really expected RED to have made the physical media inside their mags so it doesn't come as a massive surprise to find that they contain fairly run of the mill standard drives.
    Did I think they were taking the piss with the price they were charging for them?
    Well I still wince thinking about how much I paid for the 64 gig Redmags that I bought with the EPIC so the answer is definitely yes but when you looked at how much Panasonic were asking for P2 cards then it was par for the course.
    This video - which has been produced by a company that make alternative mags - shouldn't come as too much of a surprise then when they strip an official one and show the components.
    What I hadn't really appreciated though in terms of significance are the statements that RED have made regarding them developing the drives, the millions spent on custom firmware that writes the data in a unique way and how its a US made product.
    All of which this video pretty much debunks and in addition shows there being a somewhat innacurate description of the capacity.
    Charging people ten times what they could buy the product for is one thing but the misleading descriptions is another and one that might well cause them a few issues.
    I'll be very interested to see what the producers of this video have in store for part 2.
    Particularly as it appears RED have been trying to sue them.

    Looking into this a bit further, it seems RED's suit against Jinnitech for IP infringement was dismissed a few days ago, presumably freeing them up to release this video.
    Meanwhile, Jinnitech's suit against RED is still very much alive....

    To be fair to him, he's only repeating the truth with the same frequency as his accusers were repeating the "alternative facts".

    It could well be that.
    Atomos settled their suit with RED recently so maybe a contract re-negotiation now has to take place with Nikon regarding the royalties Atomos now have to pay RED?

    I think there are probably three reasons for it.
    Their reputation has been trashed by RED so they need to establish definitively that they have done nothing wrong in terms of theft of IP and are prepared to show their working out They have other products to sell like an adapter for RedMag cameras such as EPIC etc to use MiniMags so this has established the legitimacy of those (not to mention raised far more awareness of the company) and I would presume that the MiniMags that will go in these will be theirs as well rather than REDs. Its a huge two fingers to RED that means even if someone else does come along and undercuts further at least it means no more profits will be coming REDs way for them. Who knows, considering the scope of their case against RED which must have severely impacted Jinnitech's business for the three years its been going on, they might also be on the receiving end of a settlement that means they won't mind losing a few sales to other companies.
    As far as I remember, the 8 gig Lexar 300x CF card is compatible so can be picked up off eBay in multiples to kind of mitigate it.
    One way round it is to get one with the SSD Side Module as you can then use either the original 1.8  RedMag or use the Jinnitech adapter to let you use their lower cost MiniMag modules.
    By the way, someone had some joy with a 16gig version of a Lexar car and, well, here is his story on Reduser about what happened when he tried to share the love !

    To be fair, they also did it to us with the CF cards and Red Drives for the original Red ONE camera when their brand name was largely associated with not shipping a camera on time
