Thanks! Yeah I think you're right. I think sunshine played a decent sized factor too. I'm pretty happy with the x-h2s image (just avoid the menu dive lol). And the pyxis 6k is so simple to use. I'd love to get the EVF. I've got a PL mount for the fujifilm and would like to try the focus pro...

I shot this for a loop on a very large screen behind a reception desk: Gimbal: Fujifilm X-H2S with Viltrox 13mm. Tripod/Handheld (no rig, occasional cine saddle on the hip): Blackmagic Pyxis 6k with DZO Vespid 2 35mm. Drone: DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Shot in 3:2 open gate @25fps. DJI lidar focus pro...

That's a great idea and way easier! The goal of this build is to see if distributing all that's needed for the connex mini tx, over a greater area, is of benefit. With this approach, the camera provides "protection", vs. a protected accessory that's added to the camera. This is all an...

I've got the cheese bar in the "Chicago/Texas" orientation, applying apple box descriptions. I can mount with a single screw in the unthreaded hole, third from the end, but I'd prefer to reduce the twist risk, with a pair of screws, and all that's remaining are the pair of 1/4 20 threaded holes...

I'd like to pass a screw through a 1/4 20 thread of a cheese bar https://www.smallrig.com/au/cool-cheese-bar-with-1-4-inch-and-3-8-inch-screw-hole-1091.html and thread it into the 1/4 20 thread of another cheese bar. It's similar to how a tripod screw has an unthreaded shoulder, making it...

I have a fuji mirrorless at the moment and the EVF is so enjoyable. It seems like they're bad for business, but the barely there EVFs on some mirrorless cameras make them one of their biggest strengths, after size and usable IBIS. I'm not saying the fx5 nor fx6 need one, but it'd be great to see...

Abe got too political for the Moderators a handful of times before being banned. Yeah, the speculation is DLD is no longer with us.

I'm working on a pyxis build with the mini tx and BM converter. I need some partial screws, like these https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B08FBXHH2F?ref_=mr_direct_us_au_au&showmri, except with a longer shoulder (non threaded part). @morgan_moore, or anyone else, what's the best way to get a custom...

Nice!

Except, respectfully, professional is such a vague statement these days. We laughed at vertical video, now we don't get the work if we can't provide it. At some point, the look became more important than the sound these wireless systems are supposed to provide, and the consumer bluetooth clip-on...

I didn't know the dji mic 2 receiver isn't needed when using with the pocket 4/action 4. After accepting the risk, you could shoot an entire documentary on the pocket 4 with a single dji mic 2 tx if you wanted! It seems like there are more pain points when trying to shoe horn prosumer/consumer...

Oh as in there was just enough drift to create the comb filtering? Did you just basically mute whoever wasn't speaking and that worked? I've historically done this anyway, if only to avoid breathing or other sounds from the non-speaker, but for a full hour is quite the edit, and doesn't help if...

If it gets to a point where the transmitter files let you 1:1 replace the audio from the video clip, then what's the point of a UHF system? - locking connector - build quality - AA batteries - one less step in post If we take one of the biggest UHF selling points out of the equation and remove...

How does the transmitter recording sound vs. the iphone? My last post: "Are they both 32 bit float?". I wasn't thinking, the fx6 obviously doesn't have 32 bit float audio. If recording to the transmitter, I'm assuming you're either recording long clips, or starting/stopping remotely if that's...
