I received the Wooden Camera top and side plates from CVP today. I also bought the Panny handle and a viewfinder bracket from Vocas (similar to the one from Wooden Camera). A couple of weeks back I got the Vocas USBP-19/15D shoulder base plate, which the camera is mounted on. The reason why I...
On the Panasonic site it's possible to see which EF lenses are confirmed to work with the Varicam LT and to which extent:

Since I own a couple of EF mount lenses I thought I might add some lenses that aren't on the list, although I...
This Wednesday I shot three short TV-commercials. I used the Varicam LT on two of them (and a BMPCC on one due to limited space). I connected my Odyssey 7Q to the Varicam LT as a director's monitor and a 17" TVLogic as a client monitor. The audio technician made it possible for the client...
I found this in the manual:
As far as I can understand it's just like it seems to be on my camera. VFR mode (without audio) is fixed (on) if using any of the LT codecs, but not fixed if the base frequency is set to 50p or 59.94p. I think this is weird. It would be good if one could shoot at...
I was a bit worried that I have to find another backpack to carry my camera, if I want to travel light. Fortunately the camera fit into my old one together with some accessories.
In the picture from bottom left to right top:
Two IDX Endura DUO-C190 batteries, Varicam LT with a Sigma 18-35...
I haven't tried to shoot anything with it yet, just trying out a lot of stuff and to build a temporary shoulder rig until I decide which parts i need to buy.
I also tried connecting it to the O7Q just to see if I can record dual signals (Varicam LT and FS700 at the same time). It went really...
I've been setting up my Varicam LT this weekend and trying to learn the menus and functions of the camera. Some of the things made me a bit confused and AFAIK they aren't answered in the manual. If you know anything about this, please help me out:
1. When I'm in the 4K mode I can choose between...
I tried to see the line but I guess I'm not sure what to do in post to make it visible, but I noticed something that looks like a "dead" pixel.
Edit: Okey, that was hard to see. Let's try it this way instead:

First of all I want to thank everyone who has contributed with information about the Varicam 35 and LT here on the forum. I've read all the posts.
I would also like to apologize in advance if I don't express myself in the best possible way, English is not my first language, and for this...
I have trouble transferring ProRes-files with the CDProResTransfer to my computer (PC, MS Windows 8.1) since I upgraded it. The transfer starts and then remains at 0%. Has anyone else had this problem?
A completely different issue I've noticed is that the monitor on the Odyssey 7Q reacts a bit...
I just read that Atomos have announced a new range of accessories, one of them being a matte LCD protector. I was out a couple of days ago shooting with the FS700 and O7Q, and could barely see what was on the screen even though I used the hood, since the reflections were the main problem. My...
Isn't this an exceptionally bad way to treat customers?
First Sony advertised the FS700 as a 4K ready camera that just needed a firmware upgrade, and then it turned out that the camera has to be sent to Sony for the upgrade. That creates problems, if you're using your camera for work...
