    Thanks for the feedback.
    Here is a sneak peek at what I've just finished developing.
    It is an interface that you plug the Contour Shuttle devices into which then enables you to use them via Bluetooth LE in LumaFusion to control it.

    I only recently connected my keyboard in hope it will somehow enable audio scrubbing. (It doesn’t)
    I can see myself using the J, K, L, I, O,  arrow and space keys a lot.

    It has actually featured on here before a couple of months ago as it was featured on Newsshooter IIRC.
    The interest is in adding it to cameras that have no integral wifi transmission capability to an app (i.e. the Pocket4K) or for the Fuji cameras where you can have 4K and you can have wifi transmission to an app just not at the same time.
    I'm interested in it for both really but primarily the Pocket4K so I can integrate it into 3C as the latency looks better than current bulkier ones I've been developing with.
    Not to divert the thread but I think the real future for this stuff is NDI to be honest though and the new Newtek versions are far more compact than the original spark and can do 4K.
    Atomos having the cheap NDI module for the Ninja V is a big deal as you can record/monitor from the HDMI port and have the NDI version streamed directly onward from there.
    Panasonic have integrated NDI into one of their new compact pro camcorders (CX350) and it is going to be the first of many.
    What it currently lacks is a viewer app for mobile devices (although Newtek do an app that turns your device into an NDI camera which is actually pretty good) which will no doubt come over time but, again, this is where the Ninja V comes into it as of course it can also be used as an NDI viewer.

    H265 files for import are supported.
    I believe you can not export in H265.
    @BTM_Pix I had to do a very simple and small 5 sec/5MB video for use on a site, so I did the exact same on my gaming laptop (i7/16GB RAM/1060 6GB) and the 8GB RAM Surface Go.
    I used 4K H265 footage from NX1 cameras.
    I have no clue how the new CUT function works, so I did it in the traditional way.
    The export took 8seconds on the laptop and around 30seconds on the Surface Go. 
    It is not ideal, but honestly I was expecting much worst. Certain things are possible.

    BTM_Pix got a reaction from newfoundmass in Eos R finally closer to it's actual value   
    I think the price drops from Nikon and Canon are probably reflective of slow body sales due to people hesitating over buying into a new lens mount as much as they are about the bodies not being interesting enough.
    Both systems launched with pretty underwhelming native lens lineups that offered no enticement to anyone to make the switch if they could only get their current lens ranges via adapters.
    Most of us on here have no problem being early adopters and using adapters but I'm not sure its a view shared by the larger camera buying public.
    I think that Panasonic may well be walking straight into the same problem unless Sigma get those native L mount lenses out pretty sharpish.

    Your glasses, I’m afraid. This beach is where horseshoe crabs lay their eggs once a year, so there are hundreds, if not thousands of birds there. Speaking of, here’s a repost from the Canon 24-70mm f/4 from an early shot from my film that takes advantage of this time of year.

    I've been staring at this and wondering if they are birds.
    Do I need to clean my glasses or do you need to clean your sensor?

    But since I sent out the Canon FD 50mm L to be modified, I found a dirt cheap Samyang 50mm 1.4. And as much as I like the Canon FD, I'm unsure if I like it 3x more than the Samyang...
     
    Both were shot around f/2 and both have my hatchet job color grade... lol.

    That’s pretty much my assessment too. The FD is a better built lens with better color separation, naturally, but the Samyang seems sharper, naturally, with possibly an easier path for me to get a more neutral modern look. 
    Another plus of the Samyang, which seems overlooked in lens tests, is that it has some focus leeway between 15-30 feet... making it much easier to track your subject.
    Also, for the price of the Canon, I can have the Samyang 50mm 1.4 and 24mm 1.4... that has to play into my decision a little. Or a lot. 
    Btw, here’s another shot from the Samyang that was taken at the same time of day, with a more similar grade...

    Just as a cautionary FYI about this is that there is some weird shit going on with SD cards for these cameras now.
    I pulled my Pocket out to do something with it and it didn't recognise any of the SD cards (Sandisk Pro and Extreme ones off the approved list) that I put in it. Had a bit of a search and it turns out something changed at the Sandisk end that has caused their new cards to be permanently incompatible with these cameras but also with the Video Assist.
    Sony changed the firmware in their cameras to accomodate the change but BM haven't and are not really showing any intention of.
    The thread I found was long and alarming as people were buying and returning all manner of cards trying to find any that would work with them without any success.
    It now seems to have boiled down to only one card that you can buy new that will work in them (a Sony one ironically) so make sure you have some available!

    If you want timecode sync of the Ninja V you can use their AtomX Sync add on module if you are within the wireless timecode ecosystem of products from Timecode Systems like pulse: and UltraSync One.
    If Atomos ever actually release it of course.

    LT storage rate is just over 40% of HQ so roughly 2.5x the record time per TB.

    BTM_Pix got a reaction from webrunner5 in Two camera setups for hand-held film-making?   
    The second camera is the Sony X3000 though.
    In its (I'm guessing) primary role as a second angle its not issue but even in 'selfie' mode its plenty wide enough and small enough sensor to get in focus shots without needing too much reach. Well for a normal human that doesn't have T-Rex arms like me it is anyway  
    For what its worth, though, if @kye was open to suggestions about alternative cameras (which I appreciate that he isn't), I agree with your earlier one that the camera I would be using for something like this would be the Osmo, not least because it has a screen but also because it can be driven remotely by a travel companion from a smartphone, something which opens up a ton of additional possibilities to squeeze additional coverage from a fixed position as do the automated tracking options. I'd mount it on a flat bar in the hotshoe but mount the bar facing forward so it overhangs the top of the GH5 lens to give distance back to yourself when its in selfie mode.
    Mounted in one of these brackets (which has a 1/4 20 mount in the base) its really fast to take it out to use it standalone as well.
