Does anyone know what the +crop factor shooting UHD on the G7? I know the GH4 jumps from x2 to something like x2.3. I still have all Canon gear and want to move the GH4, but will need a lot of extras to switch, Speedbooster, some new lenses etc. The G7 might be a good starting point to build up...

I'm using a 2 channel Jucedlink mixer with a variety of wired shotguns, lavs and dynamic mics depending on the situation. Of course they are all mono XLR dedicated left and right channel inputs. I got a complaint from an editor, why there was only one channel recorded. I said all my mics are...

I moving over to a GH4 from Canon and looking at the Olympus 12-40 over the Panasonic 12-35. I tested the 12-35 and it's sharp and works well with the GH4, but that's about all I like. The 12-40 looks very solid and the manual focus looks good. My only question is will it function with all the...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/52537913@N08/ Got a test camera from Panasonic Friday. These were shot with the Panasonic 12-35 f2.8. Day shot 200ISO night shots 400ISO. Love the camera but not crazy about the 12-35. Looking forward to using my Canon glass with a smart adapter and a speedbooster...

This is my first try running with the unit yesterday. It's the curved frame design with a gimbal and rotating handle. All the movements have ID 6mm x OD 15mm bearings. I'm building a straight shaft version now because I think it will be subject to less wind forces. http://youtu.be/ys4onM9cN3Q

I needed a very long and light crane for a project and designed this crane. I needed something to get over the formula cars from a safe distance. Right now I'm using a Canon 60D on it and controlling the camera with canon utilities from my notebook mounted at the crane pivot point. This is...

I'm using my Canon 60D on a long crane and using Canon utilities and a notebook with a USB cable to focus and start/stop the camera. It works but not the smoothest method under pressure. Also my laptop battery doesn't last long. Any suggestions on a low cost alternative. Just to monitor, quick...

I'm renting the 5D3 more all the time and although I only pay $50 a day with a 24-102mm it still adds up. I think I need to get one, but the 6D has a few features the 5D doesn't. I'm planning to use the camera on an 8 meter crane and the WiFi could be good. Right now I'm using my 60D on it but...

I have a 600D and the original charger was lost at a shoot. I replaced it with a Canon LC-E8C charger with a 1 month guarantee. After 5 weeks it just died on the job yesterday. I'm pretty disappointed, cause what do I do, plan to buy a new charger every month? Any advice on a reliable charger? I...

I'm editing on an i7 PC with Adobie CS6 / Win Ultimate 64bit working with H-264 files. I'm on the road more than not these days and it would be nice to be able to edit at least get a head start before I go back to my studio. I have a small HP Laptop for downloading cards etc and would like to...

This thread was also posted on the BMCuser. I'm curious what the response is from each side of the isle. Right now I'm stuck in the middle. I know this has been debated from the beginning of time, but I don't know which way to go anymore. I have a 60D and a 600D I use daily and of course...

I assumed the lens elements would be the same with a different housing, but T3.1 vs f2.8 is slower. Can't find a side by side comparison. Does anyone have hands on experience between the 2 versions of this lens ?

Is there a way to lock up the mirror on a 5Dmk3 for shooting continuous timelapse?

I'm just getting started hacking my 600D and looking for shooters doing the same to share info etc. I figured this is the best place to start. http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php

I have about $1,250 to spend on a 70-200. The 70-200 2.8 and f4 IS are about the same price, but I'm having a tough time making a choice. Right now I need it for full daylight on a tripod. IS is not 100% essential, but will always save a few shots with vibration, high winds etc. The 70-200...

Heading back to KL Malaysia to shoot the first round of series racing June 10th to June 16th. I'm working this project alone and since I can't be in 2 places at once to increase the footage coverage I will mount 2 cameras on one rig. A 600D with a 200mm telephoto + 3x crop view, and 60D wide...

I have a problem. I have a 3 day shoot with a 60D. My client picked up a Nikon D7000 instead. I thought it would be helpful having a second remote camera but turns out the Nikon doesn't shoot 25P, only 24P and 25p@720. I'm in pal land and shoot and edit everything at 1080p 25fps so I think the...

Is it possible to change the assignment of buttons/wheels on 600D/ T3i to command different operations other than the standard default settings. Specifically can the finger wheel on front be programmed to control the aperture exclusively as apposed to shutter speed?

Sorry, I know this has been discussed last year but I can't find the threads. I'm trying to glue my 60D rubber grip back on because it's getting really bad now. I asked another 60D owner who tried everything including contact cement only to have the rubber peal off again after a while. He...
