This was a labour of love project I did for my sister trying to help increase her profile as she climbed the ranks of Muay Thai in Australia. She eventually became Australian champ before retiring to pursue her career in Social Work.
Shot on a GH4 with the Sigma 18-35mm mostly. I'm more of a visual production guy so the audio is the weak link here but I was very satisfied with the result. Pouring your heart into a project is far more fulfilling than any payment, naturally this was a freebie

You are actually waiting patiently for BM to release the Pocket 4K as this is what the hold up is about as it needs to support Panasonic, Sony and BM
I haven't got a GH5 but I thought it had this feature in it ?
Anyway, knocking something together that has big chunky on screen buttons like the BIG RECORD SWITCH app above wouldn't be a massive hardship though.
How about A,B,C,D with move to each when you press it and a couple of speeds ?

Right, we'll make it A,B,C,D,E,F then so we can be twice as good
No promises but I'll check it back in here if I get a chance to do it over the next few weeks.

It has 8 storable focus points and you can transition from any to any with 4 preset speeds.
The stick can do both manual focus or can act as a transition controller between 2 stored points.

Congrats on bringing this to life. I'm sure a lot of us suffer from having many "cool" ideas that never get realised, so kudos to you. I'd love to support you with a purchase of a Panasonic unit when the time comes, just point me in the right direction when you are all setup. 
Question: Does you focus pull function work similar to the GH5's. For me this, and the remote thumbstick control of focus is worth the price of entry as a gimbal shooter. 
Great stuff mate.

You can do it with the same precision as you can with their app.
I'll leave you to work out what that means!
They only offer two levels of sensitivity in terms of speed of focus movement so I scale those on the joystick to give some feeling to it and to be fair its not that bad. 
Hard stop A/B focus points driven by the joystick will be incorporated.
Joystick driven focus point (i.e. use it to move to a point on the screen and then a single press A/F) will be incorporated as well.

It'll be released on the 29th of September.
Pricing for the hardware will be around £50 depending on where you get it and what you may already have.
Price for the software will be £0.00/€0.00/$9.99
 

Just signed in to say a big thank you to BTM_Pix for you efforts in realising this very snuckily sweet upgrade, squeezing a little extra love out of the Lumix mini-beasty  Great job, and many successes on your hardware implementation. Kudos to you and this community.
