I've been testing the Ninja V with the P4k and GH5. On the GH5 in V-LOG the zebras have to be set at 85% and not 80% to match the signal clipping in the waveform and the in-camera Zebras - not such a big deal but in HLG the Zebras are way off. On the P4k the zebras have to be set at 95% or lower...

The 12-100 has (unusualy for olympus) lens IS which I believe overrides / disables body IS on the GH5 but can anyone confirm if this means the 'IS lock' feature is also not available? I've found this feature to be incredibly useful with all sorts of lenses but I'm particularly interested getting...

Previously using a Vinten 3776-3 which is a 2 stage twin leg carbon fiber design of similar size and weight. The Flowtech is very well made and the top is metal which was a surprise as I had assumed it was plastic. Setting it up and changing height is as expected a doddle and way faster than...

I've got a Syrp Genie but I find that when I want to do a very slow pan esp with a longer focal length the motion is not smooth and there are steps in the motion. I also find the whole setup is not very stable as the interface between the rotating base and unit is not very rigid. What are the...

'Theoretically' I liked the idea but I don't use my EF-E-mount speedbooster on my A7r2 because I found optical performance at the outer edges of the frame was compromised. Resolution drops off and it looks like it's due to the focus field curving in rather rapidly. Works fine for shooting a...

Shooting with an A7s +Shogun producing very nice looking UHD ProRes 4.2.2 files. I recently bought what I thought was a fast laptop to do some basic editing on in the field in Davinci Resolve and PP; Dell XPS 15 (9530) with UHD screen i7 4712HQ 16gb RAM GT 750m GPU 500 gb mSATA boot drive for...

Davinci Resolve has quickly become my go-to editing and grading app. Unfortunately it won't import audio with native files so I need to transcode them and as I'm also shooting with the Shogun now it would be sensible to use the Prores codec. What apps will do this without loss of quality / least...

I really like what I'm seeing in Resolve and Premier Pro (more so in Resolve) and would like to share footage for review to others in a smaller HD size. What are good codec settings to achieve this as it's quite bewildering at the moment........

I have a standard 24 patch card but there are also better ones with more colours like the digital SG. Is there an application you can shoot these cards with and then create a LUT from as you would profiling a stills camera ?

First post here and hope this doesn't sound like a rant..... It was a bit of a shock coming from the creamy smooth and malleable 10bit BMPCC files to find that blue and grey skies fall apart so easily on the A7s. Even shooting Cine profiles so you don't have to expand the tones in grading...
