Hey, y'all. Any help on this would be most appreciated, my headspace is maxed out. I'm wanting to know if the Rokinon Cine DS 10mm with the Ultra 0.71x Speedbooster will work with the DCI aspect on the GH5S. The information I'm finding online is contradictory at best. All of the info I've...

Hey there! I'm looking at the Lumix 35-100 f/2.8, and it looks like it's available for around $700 from non-US sellers. Is there any risk of issues with firmware updates on Panasonic lenses sold from other countries? I'm going to be getting a GH5 this year, and want to make absolutely sure I...

Hey there, Is there any chance of a firmware update on the GH4 to allow use of UHS-II cards, or is that a hardware issue? I'm needing to get some new cards and would love to future-proof myself for the GH5 if possible. -DES

Hey, y'all! I'm jumping back into run-n-gun freelancing (corporate, commercial, industrial, etc.), and I'm realizing some of my cinema-oriented gear isn't best suited for such environments. I do have a follow focus and geared manual prime lenses, but I'm seeing the shortcomings of these in fast...

Hey there, I'm having an issue when using any external mic on the PMW-200 with the LCD open, and I'm hoping someone can help me out. There is a high frequency noise audible in the audio track that is only present when the LCD is open and on. The tone of the noise even changes when the LCD is...

Hey there, I have two 10" 15mm rods that just will not come apart. I've tried freezing them, vice grips w/ pliers, and shouting at them, and nothing seems to get them to budge. I've always made sure to double check that I'm twisting in the correct direction. Are there any tips or pieces of...

Hello there! Here's my newly finished reel. The grand majority of it was shot with the HPX (also some 5D Mark II). I'd love some feedback if you'd be so kind! -DES

Hello, I'm trying to create different video files that I can throw onto a P2 card, load into my 170, and play back on the LCD and my external monitor that will show me guides for different aspect ratios that I can use to tape off/mark for production. How I'm going about doing that is...

Yo. I'm currently running CS3 Production Premium on this: http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/1014737R/1014737Rsp3.shtml with an upgraded GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161061 and 4GB of RAM. I'm mostly editing P2 footage from an HPX-170 and a bit from a 5D Mark...

Hello there, I've been looking into this for a while and it seems that there is an aversion to shooting 1080/60i and interpreting it as 24p in post to create slow motion. I'm looking for an explanation on why this is a worse way to go over the native capabilities of 720/24pn @60fps. Thanks...

Hello there, I was on a shoot this weekend with the 5D Mark II with the newest firmware update. The top dial was set to M for manual. During playback of a shot that passed behind a blond actor's head, it is beyond obvious that the camera was doing some sort of auto correction on exposure (as...

Hello, I'm having a heck of a time being able to edit my own scene files from a text editor. I've followed the instructions from Panasonic, including formatting the card and nothing seems to be working. Here's what I've been doing: I've been taking the scene files from Barry's HPX book and...
