Whoever that was is going to be apoplectic when I post my upcoming essay "Canon and Nikon as viewed through the prism of the template for competing Japanese technology duopolies established during the transition from analogue to digital synthesisers in the period 1979-1987"
Well, pentaprism at least.
Anyhoo....
If you want to monitor audio from your camera but it doesn't have a headphone jack then a little lateral thought will get you here.

Plug this into the HDMI socket and it will extract the audio to a 3.5mm jack socket at which point you can then use a similarly cheap and small battery headphone amp to monitor it with or if you want to be all fancy and wireless you could use a Bluetooth transmitter like this which are all over amazon for about £12

Good thing about this - apart from sticking it to the man and not having to buy the next model up to get such a fundamental feature - is that you are listening post the camera taking it in. External pre-amps are good by offering you headphone monitoring but its before the camera has taken it in so can give you a false sense of security.

Thanks for all the work!

If there is any company that will have a massive standoff amongst its users about adding anything video related (even an optional larger grip for more battery life and XLRs etc which you wouldn't be obliged to buy) its Fuji.
The poor man's/smart man's Leica purist vibe is strong in that community!
If they produced what I think they should (basically a video oriented mini RED) there would be skinny latte spat out over beards in Starbucks the world over when the news broke.

Unbelievably, the shop had an actual Panasonic rep in who was eager to help me evaluate the G80 so I had to think on my feet.
"Can I just see how the focus tracking works when its being controlled by the app compared to my GX80?"
"Of course"
"OK, you go over the other side of the shop and I'll put the app on and then you walk towards me. Slowly".
" OK....Is this far enough? "
"No. Further away".
(Faintly) " How about now?"
"Yes. Now walk back really slowly"
(pretend to study app screen while sending commands)
"How did it do?"
"Its the same as the GX80 so I'll stick with that for now"
 
What's also the same on the G80 and the the GX80 is that VLOG doesn't work on it either.
I have an idea about a clue in the GH4 that might shed some light but don't hold your breath.

What, you think I'm just going to wander into a camera shop in London tomorrow asking for a demo of a G80 and casually try and put VLOG on it?
Because of course thats precisely what I'm going to do !

What exactly does the capture mean and how can someone unfamiliar with the process do it?
Your answer may expedite the process and maybe inspire a layman to help.
While I have hacked the GH2 and the GX85 after your instructions, I am not sure what you mean by the 'capture' reference. 
Maybe if you outline it more easily, it could help with the good work.

What would concern me about Fuji doing IBIS is that the lens corrections they currently do are far from seamless without adding movement into it.
Could end up like a lava lamp.
Would've liked to have seen them take a chance on form factor as well instead of putting it in an X-T2 style box.
Something a bit more modular like a slightly bigger BMMCC (or even XC10) where you could have then have the EVF as a separate mountable addon etc. 
Otherwise its just going to be a bit of a me-too with nicer colours but a less flexible mount.

Oh well, CineD is already more than expected when we all bought this camera. I don't think the score is 1-0, it's more like 0-1. So there's no V-Log, but you can't miss what you never had. Thanks again for the time and effort BTM_Pix. You rock! 

EDIT >>>>>
OK
After harvesting commands, I can confirm that as I suspected it is game over for VLOG on the GX80/85.
You all owe me £3.99 for that discovery 
 

Hang on.
Its a Brawn F1 car sponsored by Canon.
Proper grassy knoll territory now
 

Hello, my GH4 is still on Firmware 2.3
The Android version of Gmonitor app recently added the feature to change Cinestiles.
I am now able to select and use V-Log L.

If you still have V2.3 on your GH4 and have access to an Android device and don't mind doing a bit of work to do GX80/85 owners a favour (even if its to put them out of their misery!) can you please post here and I'll give you some instructions.
