What would you recommend I cut? Maybe PVC? Another friend also suggested that foam insolation that expands, and then sand it down before adding a layer of Epoxy. Another one suggested filling the hole with Epoxy, sanding it down, and then adding another layer or two of Epoxy.
As long as it's water resistant I'll be happy!

I've wondered if that would be possible as well. My assumption is that there wouldn't be enough space for both a eVND and the glass elements needed for a speedbooster. But again, I also don't know.
Yeah I'm guessing there's likely not enough room to do both, at least not optimally. Maybe someone will be able to do it though!

It doesn't seem possible that people can be this stupid or racist or hateful or mysoginistic or delusional or cowardly enough to believe and follow this mentally ill fool.
I don't like to use that kind of rhetoric because it dumbs down discourse and makes it impossible to have intelligent discussion. But it's extremely frustrating that information is so readily available and yet we have people taking politicians at their word. If you're not skeptical of everything that comes out of a politician's mouth, including ones that are on "your side," then I really don't know what to say.
Words still have meaning to some of us, and things like "alternative facts" don't really exist. The truth is apolitical, no matter how much people try to spin it and muddy the waters.
If someone can't admit, or accept, that the President is intentionally misleading people on this subject I'm really not sure what to say and worry that they are a lost cause because they are beyond caring about the truth at this point. It's hard to come back from that.

Kipon announced a EF-MFT Mount Adapter with variable ND filter. Supports auto focus too. Suggested retail will be about $600 US, which seems a bit high since it isn't a speed booster, but it wouldn't shock me to see Viltrox or one of the other Chinese companies put out a decent low priced version.

All bright, intelligent people know that the color made by the LUT will be the color of reelection. BTW, I am a "person of color." Not all minorities need what to think by a bunch of liberal whities.
You know political discourse is in the trash when people assume anyone that agrees with their views are the "intelligent" ones.
Just further proof that everything is constantly dumbed down by people on all sides because actual discourse and the exchange of ideas isn't conducive to the political environment they want, where political parties and ideology are like sports teams and the people on the opposing team are stupid, or hate their country.

So I picked up a 1560 Pelican case for dirt cheap after having used an off brand version. It was used to store computers, but I'd like to use it to store video equipment.
It's in really good condition, the problem is the case has been modified with five holes, two for power cables and three for ethernet cables. Does anyone have any experience with patching holes in Pelican cases? I'm not too concerned about making them submerge proof, but I'd like to make them as water resistant as possible.
Any ideas / suggestions would be appreciated!

1080 isn't good in the G85?? I thought it was decent (at least compared to how poor the a6300 did its 1080 vs 4K....)
As I could imagine there might be times I'd do 1080, such as when I know I"ll be rambling on for an hour or so into the camera and I've got limited card space left.It's not bad at all in 24 or 30p but 60p isn't very good. It just doesn't have the data rates you'd want.

I believe it's a Trump campaign video.

The used prices for the G85 aren't bad at all. I've seen them go for as low as $425 which is an absolute bargain. I got mine a year and a half ago used for $600 which came with two lenses. Sold the lenses and ended up only paying about $400ish for mine. Such a great camera! I still recommend it today, my only wish was that the 1080p was better.
8 hours ago, ac6000cw said:The G90/G95 does have unlimited video record time and V-Log L as standard, and it's a bit smaller and lighter than the G9.
But I agree - it's too expensive in comparison to the G9 and GH5 (and almost twice the price of the very capable G80/G85).
I can't see many people buying one when they could get a G9 for the same price or a GH5 for only £150 more...(based on current UK street prices).
In the US the G85 always had unlimited recording so that wasn't a problem here. V-Log L though was nice, but with the GH5 only about $200 more new the G95 was DOA. Less crop in 4K, 10 Bit, and 4K 60p made the extra $200, even without V-Log L, worth it.
I think Panasonic intended for it to become the updated B-cam for the GH5 but circumstances made them lower the G9 and GH5 prices to the point where the G95 really had no market. I hear hardly anyone talking about/using it, which is telling given how many people I knew/know using the G85.
It's gonna rank up there for me with the LX100 mark II when it comes to a blunder by Panasonic.

$1K might seem like a lot, but I'd say for people who are spending $5K+ on just the camera body itself, then it won't be a major factor in deciding which to go for as likely it is a business purchase and as such $1K is somewhat trivial in the grand scheme of things.Yeah, once you're getting in that price territory the difference in price becomes a bit less of an issue, though there are exceptions.
I do think though that the versatility of the S1H is a difference maker more than price. Being able to just throw a lens on and start shooting will always be a nice benefit for a camera like the S1H.
I'm very glad that I was wrong about Z-Cam though. They're going to be market disrupters and that's a good thing.

I really do appreciate the update but the auto focus update is underwhelming. I probably shouldn't have expected too much from the near/far shift AF but it was very, very dodgy in my tests. I found I got better results without it, in part because I have gotten used to knowing how to get the most out of AF as it was before and partly because it's just not implemented very well. It needs larger objects to work. When using it on a chain link fence and then tree branches it didn't work very well at all, it still wanted to focus on the background. It's not very useful if you can only really do it with any level of confidence with large objects. You can do essentially the same thing using single point auto focus.
Really appreciate the focus peaking in AF though!

Lots of reasons still for the GH5/GH5S, however unlocking the potential in the G9 should put a lot of price pressure on the secondhand market for the GH5/GH5S ? So still good news even for non-G9 buyers
The poor G95. What a blunder.

Unless you absolutely need to transcode a file to a different codec it is always best to edit the original. Image quality wise there is no added benefit for transcoding, if anything there is a penalty. You can't add what isn't already there.

Thank you!
and what about this:
Do you think that I have to set in Z6 /microphone sensitivity to 1 (the lowest possible)? In GH5 I used to put microphone sensitivity to -12dB
It's better if I connect straight the zoom to the atomos mic/line)? What about the lag?
You're very welcome! You'll want to test your audio levels but the Zoom should be able to do the heavy lifting, allowing you to lower the Z6's levels all the way down.
I'm not completely sure about lag, but I'd GUESS that the Atomos accommodates for the lag. I personally would input the audio into the camera, since that's what I've always done in similar situations.

Yes, I have xritevcolor checker, only used in the past for pictures, using it at the beginning of each session could help? Any specific advise to use in davinci?
Yes. In Resolve you can then use it to help better match your colors. YouTube "x-rite Davinci resolve" and you'll get a bunch of tutorials. It's pretty easy and works really well. You might need to tweak it a little bit but you'll definitely be in the ballpark. You just wanna use it at the beginning or end of each change in scene/lighting, that way you can match them.
The Z6 should output the Zoom audio over HDMI, just as if you were using a mic, though I've never done it with the Z6. But it's worked like that for every camera I've ever used. The Atomos should record whatever the camera outputs.

Getting a color checker card is also a pretty good idea.

Here is a lower budget option too:

It's a sign that we're flooded with options, but it's really hard for me to say this is a good deal for video shooters. There are better options out there in that price range. If you want to go with Canon you might as well go with the 90D, at least you'll get DPAF in 4K. The better battery life alone is worth the extra $200, not to mention 120p in FHD.

I'll wait for Curtis Judd's review before getting too excited.
I just kinda realized that for the first time in like 10 years I'm not using any Rode mics. Kinda wild.
