Hi all, Does anyone have any recommendations for good camera carry-on bags that will fit the C500 II? Have to fly out to the States soon, and the current bag I have is massive. Too big for carry-on.

Hi all, A little while back I posted about a problem I encountered with jittery/choppy footage after exporting footage from Resolve. The solution seemed to be turning off frame re-ordering in the delivery settings. This time, however, I'm seeing the same issue straight out of the camera on the...

Eek. I just accidentally took the lens off, intending to do a ABB, but forgot to switch the camera off. Only realised the camera was still switched on after I put the cap on the body. I guess the sensor was exposed for maybe 3-4 seconds, but I’m worried I may have done some damage.

Hi all, I'm trying to troubleshoot a couple of things with my uploads to YouTube. I started another thread about aspect ratios but thought it best to keep this one to a seperate thread. I've noticed that sometimes, when I shoot, edit and then deliver - the picture shot on the C500 II can be...

Hi folks, At the moment, i'm shooting the majority of the videos for a project I'm working on in 4k, full frame, XF AVC rec 709. I put the footage into my edit timeline (using Da Vinci Resolve) and keep the dimensions as 4096x2160. However, I've been told that delivery on YouTube in this...

Edit: The thread title should say C500 II - NOT c300... Hi all, The audio that comes out of the camera seems pretty decent to me, especially for the basic 1-2 people interview set-up I mostly use it for. However, is there is significant gain in quality to be had in throwing a seperate...

Hi guys, I'm in the process of putting together an online satirical news show. Over the last few weeks i've been testing things out while the set gets put together. As I have explained in another thread (http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?367020-MKH50-indoors-placement-on-mic-stand) I'm...

Hi folks, Another day, another newbie question from me! When I'm white balancing using a grey card, is there a way to do it without having to zoom in so that the card covers the entire screen? I.e. is there a way to select a portion of the image containing the grey card and white balance based...

Hi there, I'm on a steep learning curve when it comes to audio, so please bare with me. I'm a one man band, trying to set up a mini studio at my home. I'm converting a portion of a living room into a studio space to record a show. I'm using the MKH50 on a mic stand to record the audio from...

Hi there, This may be a rather silly question with an obvious answer, but wanted to see whether its fairly normal to see noise/grain when you use the magnify feature on the camera? I've noticed, even in fairly well lit conditions, that a fair amount of noise is seen when using the magnify...

Hi all, I took my C500 ii out the other day for a test shoot in a run and gun rig (shoulder mounted with dual trigger grips). Immediately realized that the LCD screen that comes with the camera is not good in sunny enviornments. So now i'm looking at getting an EVF. The trouble is, I also...

I'm looking for a good set of V-mount batteries and charger for the EU-V2 on the C500 ii - something that I can essentially use all day long without worrying about losing power. While one battery is on, the other 1 or 2 can be charging, and have them rotating all day. Any recommendations...

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a satirical news show where we'll be filming in a fairly tight space. I'm converting a small room in a house into the studio we'll use to film the show in. I want to keep things fairly simple. The focus should be on the actor hosting the show. It will...

Hi there, I'm building a mini set in my home studio for a new project launching later this year. I'll be mostly filming someone sitting down at a news-style desk doing pieces to camera as well as interviews. Lighting is not my strong point and I need to start thinking about a lighting kit that...

Hi there, This is my first post on the forum and I apologize in advance if this is a bit of a newbie question. I'm purchasing the C500 ii and looking at investing in lenses. I'm going to be using the camera for both run and gun work and also creative cinematic style promos done in a studio. I...
