The comparison nobody asked for (except me). The micro 4/3 Osmo X5 vs the new 1-inch Sony RX0II used for car-to-car video.

Looking forward to Sony's new A99II. I've been using A-Mount glass with the LEA3 adaptor on my FS7 for the past few months (as I moved from Nikon glass) and ordered the A99II as soon as it was available for pre-order. It pretty much ticks all the boxes for a weather-sealed hybrid still/video...
If you haven't heard, a new major release of Final Cut Pro X came out yesterday. (In addition to new versions of Motion and Compressor.) It is really worth upgrading. A few key advances:
- Support NAS devices for Libraries
- Built in LUTs for Log and Raw footage (can be enabled or disabled on a...
Today I put the Nikon D500 vs. my Sony FS7 to see if I could get a comparable look out of each with minimal fuss. The results surprised me. What do you think?
Here's a quick sample video I put together today with the Nikon D500. It's downloadable in ProRes 4k format for playing with. Specs in the description.

I already have an Odyssey 7Q+ (previously used with an A7S using a Manfrotto ball) and just ordered an FS700R, which will be here later next week. Now, I need to figure out a decent way to mount this thing to the new camera.
The caveat is that I have a Nebtek dual "Sony L" cage on the Odyssey...
Here's my setup. I have the Jag35 swivel shoulder pad to attach for when I'm doing run-and-gun. They don't seem to make this anymore, but any pad that I can press into my shoulder would work for this particular setup. I prefer small systems, and in this case I push the pad into my shoulder, as...
I shot this in Arizona last month. The setup was an A7S in a Movcam cage and assorted rails. For accessories I used a Sennheiser shotgun, Sony wireless lav, Juicedlink XLR box and switched between the Odyssey7Q+ and a SmallHD DP4 for monitoring. Power was thanks to a Westside AV Sony "L"...
With the recent V2.0 Firmware update, the Sony A77II DSLT now shoots XAVC-S video. So I thought a comparison was in order vs. the Sony A7S, a camera I've been using extensively since it shipped earlier this year.
In one corner the $2400 Sony A7S. In the other, Sony's $900 APS-C DSLT, the A77...
A short piece I threw together from the most recent round of the Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship.

It was shot mostly handheld with a small JAG35 shoulder rig. Lenses include the Tamron SP 24-70 and SP 70-200 in A-Mount...
