Those are good used camera choices/options that you listed for sure. Lots of potential winners. Agreed on staying with Canon since you already have Canon EF lenses. You have basically listed out all of the pros and cons to a T. I previously owned the C200 and it was a great camera for me. I...

Honest question for this thread as someone who hasn't necessarily weighed in a ton on this topic. It looks like this question was first posed at the very end of 2022. At what point does the timeframe that has passed make this question a self-fulfilling prophecy? For example, given enough time...

If you don't need the really high frame rates for your work then it looks to be a perfectly serviceable camera. Tilting EVF is handy for those that need it or want it and it keeps things very small on that front, as opposed to connecting a third party EVF. Including better stills...

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1892080-REG/fujifilm_16954095_x_half_digital_camera.html Is there anyone else who is looking at this camera and thinking, "What the #$%^?". Maybe I'm getting too old, but who in their right mind is paying $850 for a digital camera that shoots "half a...

Amazing to see this camera out being used in 2025. I sold a DVX100B for $50 just a few years ago just to get rid of it. In hindsight, maybe I should have kept it, but it would've been purely a novelty.

I’m curious why you didn’t go for the third base iso at 12800?

Yes, I'll occasionally deliver videos via Frame.io but I'll also just send a Google Drive link if I have a lot of files to deliver. Mostly because I have way more storage on my Google Drive than I do in Frame.io. I have Frame.io as a function of having an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. So I...

Frame.io has been the standard for me for several years now.

Understood. I wouldn't worry quite as much if I were you about frying anything. Most power banks come with built in safety features. The default USB voltage is 5V and that is what you will get out of any standard USB power bank. If your power bank has USB-PD (Power Delivery) capability, it...

If the main connector to the charger is a usb c input then I would think you'd be able to use a power bank with PD to charge it with. If a power bank with PD will charge a MacBook, surely it will charge a small battery. Why don't you just test this and find out if it will work for your needs?

The free version of Resolve is limited to 4K exports. If you want to export at 8k you'll need to pay for the Studio version of Resolve.

Yep, looks like you were already thinking along the lines of where I was going with my comment. I see the pros and cons of each of the links you provided. Agreed, not sure it gets you where you want to be, but might be worth a try on some of the lower cost options. At least they're...

I don't have any specifics to link to, but surely there's a ready-made solution for what you want to do by using speedrail and some combination of car rigging mounts and parts that already exist?

The Zhiyun X100 is an interesting light because of the output to size ratio. Not the cheapest, but also not crazy expensive. https://amzn.to/4cY7tK7 Nearly the size you specified, but way more output than some of the other options. And can be run and charged via USB-C

Yeah that probably wasn’t as clear as it could have been. The edit is 3 1/2 minutes long. The rendering time is 1 minute 45 seconds. Export format is the H264 master setting that is one of Davinci Resolve’s presets.

The edit is/was around three and a half minutes and will usually be between 3 - 4 minutes on this type of thing. 4k timeline and 4k export resolution. Corporate testimonial style of edit, interview and b-roll with some light effects/transitions. I have the most recent base model of the M3...

I would imagine that it differs for everyone here and also differs based on the client and the project. Occasionally I will work with ad agencies that want to work together through live editing sessions. I may have had an initial couple of days to come up with a first cut, but as things...

I'm not really the biggest Artificial Intelligence fan, but there are dozens of services online where you can plug in your voice over script and it will let you pick from all kinds of different voices, accents, etc. and it will spit out a VO for you. Some are paid, some are not. But if you...

There are most definitely some Arri dovetail plates from other manufacturers that are slightly out of the official spec. I use Bright Tangerine's Leftfield quick release baseplates on my cameras and the nice thing about their system is that it was some wiggle room when it comes to interfacing...

For only 100 euros I would get on eBay or some other reseller's marketplace and try to buy an older version of a light that has the features you need. Unfortunately it's just not a lot of budget to do all of the things the OP is asking for. Agree with the comments about something like an...
