I'm looking into buying a GH5 or GH5s and use it as a B-cam for my Varicam LT. First I thought that the GH5s is the way to go but I've been seeing some complaints about lines of noise when shooting in VFR. Do all the GH5s cameras have this issue or has it been resolved? Does the GH5 also have...

I received some filters a couple of days ago that I've bought, and wanted to compare the image with and without the filters. So I placed some bottles in my kitchen for a quick comparison. Then I discovered something strange: In one clip (with the filter) everything looks normal, but when I...

A colleague here in Stockholm wanted to compare the Varicam LT with the Amira so we did it together last week. He had a 50 mm Master Prime available so I changed the settings in the LT to LDS but didn't get any additional information on the display. Has anyone tried this with success?

I'm sorry for posting this here, but couldn't find a specific place to post this question and since I'll use it with the Varicam I'm posting it here: Is it possible to put a grid pattern (thirds) on the O7Q screen? I'm going to use the O7Q to record raw, so I don't want to send anything from the...

I'm placing this thread here since I haven't found a specific place on the forum for lens discussion. I'm considering to buy a PL-mount zoom lens and I'm interested to find out if any of you have used these lenses, what you think about them, their pros and cons, which you would prefer and why...

A couple of days ago I saw people commenting on Mr Keaton's post about the new firmware for the Odyssey 7Q(+) and some of those comments included wishes about new features on a new recorder from Convergent Design. I have the first version of the Odyssey, the 7Q, and it has served me well. My...

I'm thinking about getting a wireless HD system for my Varicam LT which hopefully will work well with other cameras too. I have zero experience with wireless HD systems but have tried to find information about a couple of them. Since I won't be using it often I'm thinking about getting something...

I wonder if any of you know if it would be possible to construct a dumb E-mount adapter for the Varicam LT, or is the sensor not close enough? The reason I'm asking is of course the new Fujinon lens. It would probably be much more affordable to buy a dumb adapter and the Fujinon lens than buying...

I did a job yesterday and had my Sony FS700 connected to the O7Q for 4K>UHD Prores recording as a B-cam and used the Varicam LT as an A-cam with UHD. Later on I used the O7Q as a monitor on my stabilizer with the Varicam LT. I changed to 50p (from 25p, but still UHD) on the Varicam and changed...

On the Panasonic site it's possible to see which EF lenses are confirmed to work with the Varicam LT and to which extent: http://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/varicam/lt/ef_lenses.html 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'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...

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 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...
