I'm wondering if you format your SSD to work for direct recording from a GH6 can you still use the SSD to store other files or does it have to be dedicated to recording GH6 video?

I've read that using a colorsync profile with your computer monitor can really help your computer monitor display accurate color. I've got a new Thunderbolt display. Should I be using the default colorsync profile or HD 709 A or something else?

I've got a couple of feature length screenplays that are close to being ready to submit to competitions and screenplay categories at festivals. However, I've never submitted a screenplay to a competition before and I was hoping someone could point me to some information about giving your...

Just got 5DtoRGB lite on my mac (running mountain lion). I shot a little on my GH2 and inserted my SD card in the computer but 5DtoRGB can't seem to find anything on it to convert. It does convert files from the "orignal media" folders created by FCP X, but it would be nice not to use FCP X to...

I'm really excited about this product, but I'm surprised it wasn't at NAB. What's the deal?

I've got a USB Dual Pre pre-amp which I recently adjusted so I can mount it on my rig. I can plug my xlr shotgun into it--adjust gain--then run a cable from the headphone monitor jack (I can also control the levels here) and into the GH2 for recording. I know the little pre-amp is outputing a...

Going to get a Zoom H1 to use with my GH2 and Sennheiser ME66 (with power module) but I'm unsure what adapter cable to get to go from the XLR shotgun to the H1. Will there be an impedance issue or a problem because the mic is balanced and the recorder input isn't? Thanks for the help.

I am not a tester but I thought I'd report an issue I had with the 176 GOP1 Hack. Works great (no spanning of course) but when I was taking stills and then decided to press the red movie button to grab some video I got an error message telling me the write speed of the card wasn't high enough (I...

Can someone explain to me what AQ is (auto quantizer I'm guessing, but I don't know what that means) and what the differences are between AQ 1 and AQ 3?

Lightly used, top-of-the-line lightweight mattebox. Great for DSLR or cameras like the HMC-150, HPX, etcetera. I've been the sole owner. It's been out on a feature and two short films. Mattebox - 16:9/4:3 (1.5 lbs or 47.6 kg) 16:9 insert mask (450-MA) removable folding French Flag (or...

I liked the Olympus 14-54mm II, but I was frustrated with all the clicks the lens makes when focusing and zooming (I often have to mount a mic on the camera). I got the Panasonic/Leica 14-50mm with OIS and it doesn't click when focusing but the OIS makes a fair amount of noise. It sounds like an...

Did a real quick and dirty test of the Rode VMP with a 11 dB attenuator cable. Basically, the +20 dB setting on the VMP pro was too hot so I thought (and I'm sure I'm not the first) to attenuate the +20 dB with a -11dB attentuator cable, rather than just go with 0 dB on the mic. This is just a...

I'm interested in this panny leica lens as a walk-around zoom. The stats sound really good--decent throw, fast (if not constant), OIS...but I don't see it being discussed much on this forum. It's now more affordable--though it's still more expensive than the Oly 14-54 (which seems to be the...

It seems like getting good--or at least useable--audio through the GH2 is possible but challenging. With the kind of work that many of us do, it's a big hassle (to near impossible) to do dual system. Even if you are going dual system, there are a myriad ways to thread sound to the GH2 for a good...

Anyone worked out a system for doing this? I don't want to pile more stuff on top of the camera.

Anyone have an opinion as to which one of these is a better run and gun, on-camera mic?

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious and easy, but I can't figure out a non-clumsy way to make the footage the plural eyes synced on the timeline into stand alone clips that appear in the browser. Could someone walk me through the steps?

I do mostly hand held, documentary type work, so I love the idea of the variable ND, but my experience with my Light Craft Workshop variable ND was a mixed bag. In many situations it wasn't usable. Crazy flaring or glare, off colors--particularly inside (yes, I'd like to be able to use it...

Haven't heard much about these (I'm talking about the 80% stuff, not shooting 60P and then conforming to 24P). Has anyone been using them?
