What is your budget and prefered size?

Budget is 300$, 5.5 inch will be okay.

Mostly interested in Portkeys LH5P or Atomos Shinobi as i want to control wireless different cameras.

I am planning to buy monitor which I am gonna use with different cameras.
So I need something universal monitor which gonna work with Blackmagic, Canon, Sony, Red cameras.
They should have color accuracy closer to cameras monitor and of course touchscreen.
Please share which one you would recommend and which one do you using right now.

Is there any photo or video example which will visually explain desqueeze aspect ratios of 1.33x, 1.5x,1.8x,2x anamorphic lenses?

I am not in US

maybe i have a lot of them, that's why

I am just curious, is there any websites which allow to purchase camera, lenses, video accessories in cryptocurrency? 

As we know Sigma cine zoom lenses are made from the same glass as Sigma's 18-35 and 50-100mm still lenses have.

So question is this, does Tokina Cinema 11-20mm T2.9 ATX and Tokina 50-135mm T2.9 Mark II Cinema ATX lenses are made from same glass as their still versions?
If yes can you tell me the full name of that still version? Because there are ton of tokina still lenses and i couldn't figure out or you can share a b&h,amazon link.
I am just doing some research, thanks.

Yes i know that, but was thinking that arri have something like Lee filters swatchbook, which they offer separately from skypanel series or included, but i guess i am wrong.

How can i get/download Arri SkyPanel (S60-C) Led LIght Scanned Filter Gel Pack?

Hi i am using Saramonic UwMIC9 96-channel digital UHF wireless  microphone system, which includes 2x TX9 bodypack transmitter and RX9 portable receiver.

Problem is that both of my RX9 receivers record volume in a different level during video interviews when i record 2 people at the same time and my wish is to equalize both receivers recording level at the same height.
I even make myself tests when i read same text with both receivers but receiver with Group B at 556.510Mhz was low and Group A with 514.560Mhz was much higher. I have checked all the settings on the receivers and they are the same, but i don't understand why during recording interviews of people both receivers record volume in a different level. Any advice will be helpful, thanks.

Suggest best monitor options for BMPCC6K which will alllows me to change camera settings by touchscreen through that monitor.

Here is the list of affordable cine zoom lenses, which one would you choose? and if i missed any other affordable cine zoom lens just tell me.

What you think Blackmagic Design will announce this year or late in 2021 a new full frame camera Blackmagic 6k Pro?

Thank you, i got valuable information.

Hi to all, anyone who use BMPCC6K did you find a solution to make image more stabilized and autofocus more accurate using mount adapers?

Example  if i want to use on BMPCC6K with Canon EF glass which don't have IBIS, is there any way to use specific adapter which will allows me to have IBIS and more accurate autofocus?

Hopefully RF mount..

As C500 have interchangeable EF/PL mounts i think they will not add RF mount, but that would be great if they would do so

What do you think which model or models they will be (C400 or ...)?

What kind of specs would they have?

There are not too many search results, and I sent you a link with them already "sorted by most orders"

Quite easy to quickly make a decision.

Agree, just 10 options which is enough to make a decision.

The Aputure Light Storm C300d I see used on C Stands all the time.

The Aputure Light Storm C300d has a packaging weight of 25.5lbs, thus I'm sure the weight of the light itself is under 22lbs. 

But yes, if you're using it with a C Stand you'd definitely want to use it with a sandbag or two, and not try to get away with none. 

If you're going for something heavier duty than a C Stand then you're looking at the likes of a Combo Stand, which is even more expensive (and heavier! Thus much more expensive indeed to ship to Armenia).

Edit:

Hmmm... cheaper than I thought! Can be got for only US$200ish, with free shipping to NZ for a 3m or 4m Combo Stand. (don't bother with the low boy however. I'm tempted to get a low boy though as a mic stand)

today i am gonna spend long time in search of best c stand on aliexpress )

thanks for quick reply

That is in Armenia, I suspect shipping would be a killer to order C Stands from B&H!!

Just put "C Stand" into the search bar of Aliexpress:

See above!

Sure i will, thanks.

Yeah, Impact's 13 foot are really well made and a bargain. I've used them as a tripod before when I needed to film over a crowd. 

Links?! 

he means purchasing links from online stores

All V-mount and Gold-mount batteries are expensive, and if you want run lights, or power hungry cameras then you need the bigger, heavy duty batteries.  You will most likely spend over $1000 USD to get even a modest package of two batteries, with a charger.  

I got it, so which one you can advise (2 batteries with a charger)?

@Hayk Here are the Heavy duty light stands, as good as c-stands but much cheaper and lighter: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1274797-REG/impact_ls_96habi_9_5_heavy_duty_air.html

Here is a link to an affordable C-Stand: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/372016-REG/Impact_CT40MKIT_Master_Century_C_Stand.html

And here is the large, octa-dome 150cm softbox/grid combo: https://www.essentialphoto.co.uk/product/pixapro-150cm-octagonal-easy-open-umbrella-softbox-with-4cm-grid/#image-4

Thanks , these are all good stuff but these c stands can hold 22lbs which is not enought for heavy lights as 300d ii or for others (the second option is really great), because i want to buy more versatile so is there any options even not in B&H but with capacity of holding 27/30/33lbs?

C Stands are rather heavy! You'd want to buy them locally. Where are you?

Or do what I do, and buy Chinese C Stands direct from China. (not sure if that is a great idea currently though, you might be in for an extra long wait)

i'm located in Yerevan, but usually purchase through amazon/B&H/ebay/aliexpress so if you have the links please share it and yes China can work as well)
