  1. That's awesome. I wonder if stereo mode gives you two 16x9 videos or one frame with two squeezed images. I understand the fisheye for the 360 stuff, but for stereoscopic images it could be problematic, since we don't see the world with those distortions. Stereo photography is about trying to place the viewer in the scene, but that illusion would be lost. That's also the reason I never bought into those GoPro stereo cases. Never the less, it's an interesting concept, and as a Stereo Realist user, I hope this works out, as there's a lack of worthwhile 3D cameras out there. (I think the Fuji W3 is probably the best of the bunch, but it's getting on a bit)
  2. How is that powered? I can't see any space for a battery, and looks like you can only use that DC 7-24v socket. That alone makes it difficult on smaller systems. The Zacuto EVF runs on LP-E6, which makes it a better solution in that respect. Hopefully I'm just missing something though.
  3. As far as I know, all lens measurements, regardless of the system they mount on, are based on a full frame sensor, from field of view to the amount of light they let in. For example, shooting at 50mm f1.8 on full frame will be wider and brighter than 50mm f1.8 on APS-c, which will be wider and brighter than 50mm f1.8 on MFT. That said, does medium format also follow this rule? would you say it has a negative crop? So 50mm is actually 35mm FOV? (or whatever the maths makes it out to be)
  4. You might also get away with the Meike 28mm f.28 - it's a great cheap, tiny manual prime with clickless aperture. Nice focal length for a walk around lens too.
  5. To quote, but slightly reword our own @BTM_Pix: As luck would have it, a post about one for the Ninja V has just popped up in another thread that might be of interest.
  6. How long did it take you to get a response? I've send 3 or for requests over the last week or so, but hearing nothing back.
  7. There is in Raw. If it used the full sensor, it’d have to down res/ process the image, making it no longer raw. ProRes has no crop in 1080p
  8. The video to me looks awful. It could be down to the lighting, but he looks more like a Ken doll than a living, breathing, fleshy human. The stills look fantastic, of course, but I'd never use this for video.
  9. I think it's a 2x crop on the MFT sensor, so 4x crop of full frame.
  10. Has anyone got one of these? I've mailed and signed up for it numerous times, but never get any response back.
  11. I still have my VX, though it’s an ornament now as like many others before, the tape deck died a sudden death. I wonder, how many people get into filming through skateboarding? Does anyone remember SkatePerception? That place taught me so much back in the day.
  12. So basically, editing on a 4K timeline is a waste of my computer's resources? I'd get the same end results (4k master) if I edit on a 1080/720 timeline?
  13. Including me, as a RAW noob... Can help me with project settings for working with Braw? Does this look right? While editing, there's no problem in adjusting the 'Decode Quality' to half or quarter for smoother playback on a laptop right? as long as I change it back to full for the export? Should I have Highlight Recovery on by default? Or adjust that on a clip by clip basis in the Color tab? All help is greatly appreciated. EDIT: also, I've generated a sidecar file, but the Blackmagic RAW Player still shows me the ungraded clip, even when the video and sidecar are the only files in the folder it's playing from. - anyone else having a similar experience?
  14. I might be mistaken, but to me this little video has that OG pocket mojo people are looking for. (aside from the slow mo)
  15. What’s the happy medium with space to flexibility ? I was planning on using 8:1 but kinda thinking the QB options might be better
  16. For sure they will since this one is the same price as the original cost yesterday. It was a joke. BMD have upgraded a lot here, Sony changed the colour of the ND filter selector from silver to black. All the internal stuff stayed the same.
  17. But the question is - did they change the color of the ND selector? If not, FS5II is a much better option.
  18. Grant Petty cracks me up. No script, no rehearsal and no retakes. Brilliant. UMPII looks great though , much better update than the FS5II. With no DNG though, I wonder how they’ll handle the still frame function. Will check that once I update.
  19. P4K updates: Added Blackmagic RAW codec support. Added Constant Bitrate 3:1, 5:1, 8:1, 12:1 recording for Blackmagic RAW. Added Constant Quality Q0 and Q5 recording for Blackmagic RAW. Added support for double tap on touchscreen zoom. Changed tap to focus behavior to tap and hold to focus. Removed CinemaDNG formats. -------- Will be updating as soon as I get home. Super pumped.
  20. That’s awesome @leslie - when did you order? Are the lists getting shorter yet?
  21. Smart idea. Their official iOS app is iPad only. You have to go 3rd party of you want to use your phone (wut?) — I’m not sure if it’s possible on the camera, or if your interested in it, but it could be cool to add a frame grab button in the app so when you’re shooting in prores, you can also take stills mid shot. Would be handy if you have an assistant using the controller. Feel free to ignore that though.
  22. I would definitely get this if I had Android, any chance you're planning on porting it for us fruit users? Also, I assumed my camera had a busted Bluetooth chip as I could never get it to connect to my phone or iPad. Turns out, it doesn't show up in the settings and you need an app to connect through. Figured I'd post it here so others in the same position can get their connections connecting.
  23. This looks pretty great. You can even charge the battery via USB (although I imagine that will take forever) https://cvp.com/product/blind-spot-gear-bsg-1302-007-01-power-junkie
  24. Depending on your system, and how you edit, it can actual save time. If you're grading for example, you'll need to render less and still have much smoother playback. And then exports are likely to be quicker too. You can do the transcoding over night, so you don't even lose that time in the first place.
  25. I took mine off. You need a bit more force than you expect, but they don’t break and you can put them back in later if you want to.
