Yepp! I do it all the time.

Shit. Thanks for the heads up. I updated last night but did no testing. Looks like my MB is getting unmounted for the time being.

IBIS is great until you get lens flares dancing around a seemingly stable shot. I'm happy to own several cameras with it and a few without it.

Well, you've sorta answered your own question by listing the OG Pocket's shortcomings... but it is still an amazing little camera capable of producing a beautiful image. The Pocket4K gives you up to 4K60p, 1080p120, raw video up to 4:1 compression, better audio preamps and connections, much better screen, and Gen 4 color science (if you like that). Under the same conditions (controlled lighting and battery solution), I'd take the Pocket4K every time. And one thing that probably doesn't need said, but I'll say it anyways. Even with controlled lighting, shooting with a great low light camera means you have freedom of exposure and DoF. You can maybe shoot something at f/5.6 for the DoF you want rather than being forced into an f/2.8 lens with the OG Pocket's limited ISO range. You might only need to rent an Aputure 120d versus a 300d. Etc.

Completely agree. Personally, I think a sexier design and the help of an influencer or two would have skyrocketed this camera's success.

I shot an interview last night with the Pocket 4K and GH5s in Film mode and HLG respectively. They match pretty well after only a few minutes in Premiere tweaking them. I'm excited to see the difference that Resolve will make.

Looks awesome! I ended up getting the 8sinn half cage right at launch. I wonder if certain Tilta accessories like the sunhood and SSD holder will be compatible. It looks like a standard 1/4" mount.

I just got the Aputure LensRegain for my Pocket 4K. Will report back when I've done some testing. I already have the Metabones XL and Viltrox and I love them. I got the LensRegain for a lightweight remote focus solution for my shoulder rig. Initial testing has been very good.

I agree. And no Panasonic rep, at any level in the company, would publicly speculate about adding such a feature. They know how things take off on these forums ?

TheSlantedLens is doing a live Q&A right now if ya'll want to air your grievances

The best IQ comparison I've seen yet.

Haha yeah at least it’s on the way now. I’m hoping to get some nice weather to shoot with it tomorrow.

I got a shipping notification about 5 minutes ago ?

Oh I'm in complete agreement with you. The allegation was nothing more than an unsubstantiated Facebook post. I wasn't taking sides; I simply did not know such a post existed.

I was not aware of this. Thank you for sharing.

That's a pretty inflammatory statement...

I doubt they would do that. It’s a free update to the Ursa Mini and BM have never charged for updates.

Haha it's like Christmas Eve my dude. I'll have to wait for shipping, but excited nonetheless.

Holy crap they just charged mine as well! Thank you for the heads up.

I haven't heard anything yet from them. I figure they're probably swamped with all sorts of orders since they've been closed for over a week. Hoping to hear from them soon either way.

Haha same! They had the OG Pocket image as a placeholder for my order ?

Not to be spiteful, but where's that guy that argued these Samsung SSD's would never work and it was all marketing hype? ? But seriously this is very exciting. I'm glad BM sent this out to a regular user to showcase its broad uses.

Absolutely none. Shoot raw format for an advantage in stills.

This. And let this be a good lesson to take your time with your prep. A good clap into all mic's and in front of all cameras can really save you some headaches. When I'm working alone I always say what I'm doing out loud so I don't miss something. "Cam A rolling picture and sound, cam B rolling picture and sound, sound rolling." *clap* Then a few seconds to breathe and double check. Good luck with your edit!

Opinions on the GH5 are pretty nuanced. Some people think the camera sucks without a speedboosted lens, others think native is the only way to go, and others think both have their place. Some people think the AF is atrocious, others think it suits their needs just fine. Check around this and other forums. Find GH5 users whose work you like and see how they use their camera to give you an idea of the benefits and detriments.
