Same for me Jon...I like quiet cameras that you don't "feel" in the footage...just because you can move it, does not mean you should??...but if you do, I like the slow control of a dolly/slider shot....For me the value in IBIS is getting away with a shot without a tripod!

Same here. John Brawley's handheld work with the Olympus was very impressive, but I don't recall if there were any panning shots per se.

With my GX85 it works nicely, up and down movements stabilized, tilts as well. Pans not working well, only for the classic Pennebaker handheld style for connecting shots and following movements.

As soon as it is about static objects to pan along, jitter is killing the image with my specific GX85 camera.

That´s true and it avoids jitter very well.

Your ellusive shooting style of daily life vignettes reflects that well, floating with the flow, letting the viewer forget the camera completely and allowing

him to concetrate on the subjects and events and sights.

I am a little bit sad, that for background panning I cannot really use my camera with IBIS, only following movements in Pennebaker style.

I'd been scouring this godforsaken place for weeks, searching for a shoulder rig for my kitted out G85, when @Fritz Pierre suggested I check out an EasyRig. At B&H, the genuine article runs thousands, but you can find cheaper knockoffs. I found one at a shop here for a touch over $600 USD. It takes all the strain off my arms and back, and the camera just floats in front of me like a butterfly.

That thing looks like it will vacuum your house and carry a toddler through Disney World. Cool find though.

No, that's not what it's for. 

Usually on shoots we don't have much time to eat, so what you do is dangle some sausages in front of your mouth so you stay fed. 

If you're a veggie, you can use carrots instead. 

Also, the bit at the back is actually a mini microwave, so you can heat up some cofffee for your assistant.

If money were no option I'd get the GH5 with a full Voigt lens kit. After shooting on BMPCC with metabones speed booster for years, I've come to the conclusion that I hate using adapters. Going native is so much more reliable and efficient. 

That may be my plan, as I now need some MF lenses.
