I've shot a lot on the C200 since launch but I'm actually surprised by a couple of things. First I never find the footage to snappy when looking at 4k in 1:1. Compared to FS7 I can comfortable display 1:1 and it's detailed and snappy. I only use internal mp4 recording. Second I find AF to be...

I find H265 from the X-T3 to be a struggle when editing so I started to test the camera and which settings I could get the smoothest editing experience and still have the best quality. My main editing is done on a Win10/4 core-i7/Nvidia1080Ti with Nvme2 drives for media and my backup is a 6...

I was given some preview information but I can't share more than this.

I wanted to try a ring light and bought an off the shelf Viltrox VL-600T. Just to try really and wasn't expecting to much. The whole light comes in the typical Chinese carrying bag and the light ring is made of plastic. There's not enough padding to keep the panel safe so it's more of a bag to...

I liked this panel so I got the All In 2 100W+40WRGB panel and put photometrics in an updated chart. I must say I'm impressed with this new panel as it provides both power, refinement and skills. I noticed one oddity while measuring. At certain settings the panel increased output by about 100...

I did a photometric reading comparing the Aladdin M7 and Aladdin AIO RGB at 1 meter: My own conclusion so far is this. The Aladdin softbox is a must have. As theses panels have such a wide beam angle they gain a healthy bit in light output when the beam is made narrower as the softbox does. I...

I just took delivery of a 1x1 Aladdin All-In-One RGB panel. This being my first RGB panel and not having any experience myself from RGB panels look at this like a first look. For years now I have used Aladdin Bi-Flex panels. First the Bi-Flex 1 Bicolor, then the 1x2 Bi-Flex Bi-Color and for six...

I had my FS7 for more than four years now and it has worked fine and still does. But when I put my FS7 and FS5 side by side last week to match them I noticed the fan on the FS5 was audible but the fan on the FS7 was silent. I know the fan is very quiet on the FS7 but it's still noticeable when...

I would never purchase Astra panels myself as they are so unreliable. Just before christmas I had a panel with trouble powering from V-locks.

Astra panels are fast to setup, even with a softbox, but they are also prone to break often in my experience.

I've worked with the less expensive panels like Swit and they look okay but I dislike the huge dimmers.

Flexible panels is a bit of a mixed bag. They are light and flexible put also involves more parts to put together. A solid panel provides faster setup times and less clutter. But I've used Aladdin bi-flex panels for years now and they have the best colour I've seen from any LED panel so far...

As each year goes by in this business I'm getting tired of the endless bombardment of new gear. It's not easy when so many have their main content focused on the new indispensable thing you just gotta have to work. How much written on places like Cinema5d or Newsshooter are related on anything...

Interview sample Canon C200.

I want to slim my FS5 further and tried to remove the microphone holder but the screws appears to be glued as when I tried to unscrew them I broke my screw driver! What can be done to unscrew these screws? They are tiny and it's difficult to fit a normal screw driver inside.

Okay, so been shooting and testing Canons latest C200 and I've found some issues when recording internally. I know that 35mb/s 4:2:0 is less than ideal and to use C-LOG is on the border to what's recommended but here it goes. The image from the C200 with internal recording does not handle flat...
