What are your guys' thoughts on this monitor/recorder by blackmagic design? It's only $500 and is a 1080p monitor, as well as an HD recorder. I assume that this would appeal greatly to GH4 users because they can convert their UHD footage into 10 bit 4:2:2 directly within the recorder.
I was...
Many mention the **** quality of the micro HDMI port on the GH4. How does one mount a GH4 + monitor on one of these gimbals? There doesn't seem to be enough room to use a camera cage with a hdmi lock (Honu).
It seems like if you go raw cable to monitor attached to gimbal, it would easily be...
A lot of these threads are feeding into everyones obsession with gear. Now that we splurged on these cameras, I was hoping we can have a discussion about ways to earn money with video.
I'm aware people will say weddings, etc.. but starting from the bottom, which direction can new videographers...
Boredom struck on a recent trip to Marco Island, Florida. This was the result.

I Was hoping to start a dedicated thread for advice on shooting hyperlapse & timelapse on a GH4.
I've seen amazing footage ( https://vimeo.com/108018156 ) where hyperlapse is mixed into the video and would love to learn how to perfect it. The creator shot that handheld with a GH2.
If there...
I do a decent amount of traveling & would like to start putting together short videos that capture the vibe of my destination. It's obvious one can just go to touristy areas with their camera + tripod and hit record but I want to hear if you guys have any tips/ideas.
I was wondering if there was a difference in recording quality between a mic hooked up to a recorder via 3.5mm cable, and the same mic hooked up via XLR cable.
I have a Tascam DR70d, & a Rode Videomic Go, which I hook up via 3.5mm cable into the DR70d's EXT IN 1/2 (plug-in power). I'm...
I need some help setting up audio on the tascam DR70D. I have a Rode Videomic Go (doesnt run on batteries/feeds off cameras battery) connected into [ EXT IN 1/2 ] on the tascam.. Then a line out from the tascam into the GH4 mic input.. I can't get a signal.
What settings should I fiddle with to...
I just got back from New Orleans where I shot a run & gun style music video for a popular local rapper... The shoot was done primarily at dusk/night time. All of my night shots were shot between 1.8-2.8 aperture & around 1600 iso (if not higher-can't remember) on my GH4.
I can't understand how...
How many of you religiously abide to the exposure meter?
It always seems like the scene/room is well lit with detail in the shadows etc, but when i look at the exposure meter its underexposed. When i compensate and increase the exposure so its at 0 on the meter, the shot looks overly lit with...
Since there is no option within the GH4 to set frame guides for letterbox, I was wondering if any of you guys are using any workarounds.Hopefully Panasonic can add the guides in a future firmware update (i dont see why not).
In the meantime I was considering printing out a 16x9 chart with the...
I was curious about the process of film scoring.
should the score be available for the editor to edit along with the music?
or does the editor put the film together and then the score is created according to the edits.
It seems like it would be easier for an editor to make cuts in relation...
