Personally, I think there should be something like Q3 since I've found the low-end of Q5 is too low on some static shots.  It should also help the noise on the shadows thing.

It works with any native MFT lens and EF lenses on a Metabones smart adapter.

Ok, so for something like the Voigtlander lens, will that work because it's a native MFT lens but doesn't have AF?

Wow, what a development!  Does the unit have a follow-focus gear to integrate with manual focus lenses or does it only work with Panasonic/Leica lenses?

Not sure what I'm looking at in BTM Pix's post?

The problem with big / bright screens is battery life.  All those nits have to come from somewhere!

This is where that existing battery grip comes in handy.

For Pocket V2, Blackmagic should just partner with Feelworld and get their 2200 nit version into the camera somehow.

Jordan, I think you are the yoga king if that non-tiltable, non-movable screen doesn't bother you, my friend.

To be fair. Blackmagic body, ergos, color science, codec + Panny battery. 

The funny thing is, the battery can be resolved externally, but none of that other stuff can. 

First time I've heard anyone choose BM body/ergos over Panny body/ergos. 

Panny body, ergos, battery life  +  Blackmagic color science, codec  =  Greatest camera ever.

Just based on volume of videos alone, you'd think camera people were trying to hit the YouTube jackpot with videos about foliage.

They must be getting close to release.  I can actually use this version without it crashing.

First week with Resolve and BMPCC 4k. Lotsa blue skies in this edit and I'm not seeing any banding or microblocking shooting BRAW 8:1. Maybe a bit from YT compression but the QT is clean. Probably a little of FilmConvert could emulate that Cinema DNG look but haven't transferred that license over to Resolve yet.

 

Looks great!  What lens did you use here?

Actually, it sounds like the dude that posted in this thread earlier made most of his money from affiliate marketing and sponsors.  

I also noticed that a lot more people are selling T-shirts tied to their YT brand now too with just a click.

Lately, it looks to me that bot computers just upload cartoons so busy parents can plop an iPad in front of their kids for hours at a time. 

There's a whole thread about that Blue Sky thing on the BMD forum:

I didn't do much more than use the Extended Video v4 LUT and some lift gamma gain adjustments. (I did darken the bookcase on the wide).  I've been really impressed with the colours out of the BMPCC 4K!

Good to know, thanks! I always found that LUT a little harsh so sprung for that buttery films LUT. 

Feature request for Davinci Resolve - one click 'make my skin tones awesome' button.  Make it so, Blackmagic!

Pocket 4k with Metabones XL and Zeiss CP.2 shot in BRAW 5:1 

 

Damn, nice! Skin tones bang on. 

BTM, if the kickstarter starts in August, when would we receive our units? 

You are ahead of your time, my friend! 

I need this in my life. 

BTM, how is the device powered? And can this be worn on person like a watch? 

Always good info from Captain Hook. An asset to this forum.

Pretty sure 6.4 was only for the Ursa Mini Pro. 

6.2.1 is the same as 6.2 except they fixed the problem they had with Windows users installing 6.2

Honestly, I think it's because many BM users are whiny and entitled. Announcements would get hyped up beyond reason and ultimately people would be underwhelmed by the actual improvements. Look at what happened with some of the GH5 AF improvement announcements: people jumped the gun and starting declaring that it would be Canon Dual Pixel level performance immediately, only to be disappointed when the firmware was actually released. Better to just surprise people.

I say this as a BM user and lover.

Hmmm.. that doesn't sound like a very good reason.  It would seem to me that drumming up some excitement would greatly outweigh any potential disappointments.

I always thought it was a bandwidth issue as it seems like BM is a small shop and can only devote their engineering resources towards a few projects at once. That's just guessing, though.

BTW, does anyone know why BM doesn't advertise their fixes and firmware improvements ahead of time instead, of just opting to dropping them out of the blue on their users? 

I only say this when you compare it to other camera manufacturers that tell you months in advance that they are working to improve or add something.
