  1. I'm fairly sure this won't work. The SteadXP records the movement of the camera, and then counteracts that in post to give a stable image. With IBIS, the movement of the camera is different from the movement of the sensor, so the recorded data won't match the footage. I'm still hoping camera manufacturers build the gyrodata into the recordings, or as a companion file. That would give the steady results and would still work with IBIS, since the data comes straight from the sensor, not a 3rd party box in the shoe mount.
  2. But then how will you put your photos on Instagram? What's the point in taking them if you can't get loads of likes.
  3. I've never used the Micro or the Micro Studio 4k camera. But in theory, if you used a Ninja V, could you rig up the Micro Studio 4k camera in this same setup, and get a 4k recording? The only thing you can't do is record internally on the camera right? That would be a pretty slick setup.
  4. Like I said, it depends on how you class a digital equivalent. If you want the same final look, then yes, a s16 sensor or a good one. If you want a shoulder mounted doc camera that's ready to go, then that's another set of cameras. If you want a camera that's unlike any other before it, then you're in a different category again. I'm still unclear at to what the actual question is.
  5. You're right, sorry about that. I thought's the g2 did. I should have double checked before posting.
  6. I only mentioned it because @tupp did. I'm not up to date with it really, but from what I gather you can shoot up to 5k, and 2.8k is the sweet spot. It's ergonomics are terrible though, and handheld is a nightmare because it's so small and the crop at 2.8k is quite sever - a 5x crop on an aps-c sensor. So the balance and stable image is out the window for documentary style stuff, unless you rig it up and give it some weight. The live view also isn't that reliable just yet. Parts of the frame is missing etc. For the price, it's amazing what it can do, but I would never use mine in any setting other than hobby videos and family clips. Ursa Mini Pro has an anamorphic 3k setting, but I'm not sure if there's a crop on it's 35mm sensor. BMPCC4k has a 2.8k super16 mode, so maybe that's a good option too? Again though, you'd want to add some weight for handheld use.
  7. I think it depends what you mean by digital equivalent. Ease of use? Price? Ergonomics? Image quality? -- As far as a point and shoot doc camera, I'd say the Ursa Mini Pro g2 is pretty close. With Braw you really can fix everything in post - apart from focus. File sizes are reasonable and you have good audio inputs and with dual ISO, even lighting isn't an issue, other than for artistic effect. Next I'd say FS5/7 and Canon's Cx00 range depending on specific needs. Or if you have the budget, go for Red. Eosm is nice, but not grab and go, plenty of room for error, although the footage will probably have a closer feel.
  8. It's likely that the bigger drives have faster transfer speeds.
  9. The GH5s came out like 8-9 months before the Pocket 4k. And that's not including any shipping delays or waiting lists etc. I bet there are many who shot for over a year with the GH5s before they could get their hands on the P4k.
  10. If you got a similar message with the SD card, I would assume the hourglass warning is saying the buffer is full and the media isn't fast enough to free up some space. Similar to what BTM_Pix mentions above, I used a right angle cable on a Pocket 4k, but I got errors while recording. Despite the cable supposedly being fast enough, it's not. I proved it with Blackmagic's Disk Speed Test software. Assuming you have a computer with a USB-c input, you could try all your cables with it and it'll show you if they're the bottle neck, or if indeed it is the T5 that's on the way out. I get 483MB/s Write and 509MB/s Read with my T5
  11. This was such a great feature for the JVC LS300. They called it VSM (variable scan mapping). there's even a zoom rocker for smooth zooms from S-35 to MFT crop. You really didn't need any other lens other than the 18-35.
  12. Oh and they also added crop marks to cover up the flickering lines so they're not distracting at all while shooting. So what you see on the LCD is what your the file records, but your file does have a little bit of extra height since you can't see the bottom 1/8th (or something) of your frame while shooting... Other than that, it's perfect.
  13. Sorry to quote you again, but there's a new test build with complete realtime preview, non-cropped for 5k modes now. I just shot 2 minutes of 16:9 12bit raw without any dropped frames. I could see my framing perfectly as though I was using a native camera mode... almost. There's currently some scattered lines at the bottom of the LCD screen. It's not distracting, and they're working on it. but seriously, I would advise you to use this build. I just used the 5k anamorphic 16:9 frtp preset and laughed at how good it was. https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern_jip_hop_git/downloads/crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_raw_only_2020Sep21.EOSM202_frtp.zip
  14. That's what I thought about Blackmagic RAW stills. Then I remembered it only makes things harder to edit really. For example, at the moment stills on the pocket cameras are DNGs which you can open and edit in basically anything. That's not going to be the case with Braw stills. Also, I was kind of hoping we'd see a hack to exploit the DNG stills. Some kind of rapid fire 24fps stills function, essentially bringing back DNG video, but as a hack so BMD aren't liable to the patent BS... Maybe they also thought the same and want to put a stop to such a thing before it happens.
  15. Nobody even has this camera yet, and BMD have released a pretty amazing update for it. Also updated RS readout times:
  16. According to Fuji Rumors, this update also gives:
  17. I was the same when I got mine. I don't understand how people can enjoy using those modes... Maybe if you had an optical view finder it could be fun. Now though, I never shoot more than the 1080 Rewire option. It's non-crop (other than the aspect ratio) and realtime live view. If you shoot this way, it's basically the og BMPCC with a bigger sensor and much better audio / battery. If you run through MLV APP and convert each clips to DNG frames, there's barely even any extra steps in post. As far as my test of the new builds goes, the live view in the higher resolutions and crops is getting to realtime, but they're refining it. Give it a few weeks and come back to it.
  18. One more request / suggestion: Is there a way to implement the Window Sensor mode? Assuming the camera's already set to shoot ProRes 1080p, having the window mode at your fingertips would be really cool. It would make the 18-35mm lens even better for any run'n'gun situation.
  19. That is amazing news! Looking forward to the update and AFX pre-orders !
  20. Rawlite make them for Blackmagic cameras, so it is possible. But also camera specific, and who knows if they're developing it for any other systems. https://rawlite.com/
  21. 1600 in Holland, also with an adapter for Leica M lenses. https://link.marktplaats.nl/m1586586466?utm_source=ios_social&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios the problem is, for an extra 100 or so you can get it brand new, with warranty if you’re in a position to get tax back.
  22. Well, that bottom frame alone is enough to make me want this setup. It's been on the wish list for a while, and has been bumped up a notch, that's for sure.
  23. More Bluetooth issues with BMD updates. I imagine this will also impact the AFX Focus Module?
  24. I think Doc Brown has already made an eND like this. Oh wait, no, it was @BTM_Pix If I recall correctly, many Canon L lenses have rear filter slots. I'm not sure if there's NDs built for them, but I would assume so. And there may be a few other lenses with a similar design.
