Some cameras allow you to customize the zebras, setting them as low as 50, which I believe corresponds to 50 IRE on waveform scopes. I only shot with the GH4 once, and that was a few years ago, so I...

Sounds like you just need more light. Doesn't the GH4 have zebras? I find zebras much more useful than a histogram.

Most field monitors these days have false color, which will give you a rough...

I think that the most humane sentence for Satire & Sarcasm offenders would be "Twelve years in leavenworth or eleven years in tweleworth" Groucho Marx.

Did anyone try the settings in this video for the S-Cinetone look?

If you upload a Prores file to YouTube, is there a noticeable difference between Prores HQ & Prores LT?

Some software introduces a sync issue when rendering to H.264, so just offset the audio by a few frames to compensate. Perhaps there's a better fix, but that's how I've dealt with it.

P.S. If my...

I think some people on here have Zeiss Contax lenses, which seem well liked.

I've shot some with my Dad's old Hasselblad Zeiss lenses, but the focus rings are very stiff, so they're better for...

Maybe a Nikon 50mm 1.8 series E.

The Magnus PV-7451M is on sale again for $50.

The 5D is on the latest 2.1.2 firmware and ML build (July 2018), which supports RAW video.

A $50 survey tripod might be the sturdiest cheap option.

I had no idea that it was so easy to get a Regional Emmy, now all I have to do is save some money and... oh yeah, ethics. :(

I'm trying to get a 5D MK II with ML to output 1620x911 over HDMI, see this thread for an explanation of the rationale.

I can only get the 5D to output 640x388 over HDMI, but I read at DVInfo that...

Any consumer range product is going to be crap, even from decent brands like Slik. B&H sometimes puts the Magnus PV-7451M on sale for $50. It's a crappy tripod with no quality control, but perhaps...

I've run across it in a lot of YouTube videos, and I think it sounds terrible, and I'm only 30.

I bought a Magnus PV-7451M when it was on sale for $50, and it has several engineering flaws as well as quality control issues. I had to warranty exchange the head because the 3/8-16 threads were...

Quality control can be pretty hit-or-miss or nonexistent on Chinese products; I'm glad that your Miliboo turned out to be a good copy.

Back in the spring I ordered an E-image tripod with a GH05...

No joke, I'm completely serious. I'm in the USA, and my state issued weapons permit allows me to open carry or conceal carry weapons, but it's best to conceal carry though, as most people will...

No, just a few of the old classics, like Strangers on a Train & Dial M for Murder. I try to sell stuff on Craig's List or FaceBook to avoid fees, but I meet in a well-lit public area with video...

I don't think that the video feed is monitored, it's just a recording to be referred back to if there's an incident. I wonder if criminals are emboldened to commit robberies, with it now being normal...

FYI, Some police stations have an E-commerce area with video surveillance, where people can meet for Craig's List or FaceBook Market transactions. It doesn't guarantee safety, but it minimizes risk....

I have to ask, do you really need a matte box to look more professional? The C500 MKII is a proper video camera that certainly looks pro as far as I'm concerned; I understand rigging a...

If it's just for show, you could get a cheap Fotga or Neewer.

I have a Cinematics matte box, mainly because I got it really cheap second hand on eBay. It's the only matte box I've ever owned, so...

I haven't shot with either camera (aside from helping a friend set up an FS700 MK II), but I would find full size XLR inputs, built-in ND filters, and AF a pretty big advantage.

It really comes...

Years back I read that someone ruined their Nikon AIS lens with a clamp-on matte box, but I can't remember what matte box they were using. I wouldn't recommend putting anything other than standard...
