Hello, all! I have some small rigging problems in my studio that I would love some help on. I film a lot of stuff at a desk over my left shoulder and I have a cage above me that I rig everything to. In order for my camera to get close to me, I use 2 grip arms. The problem is that it attaches...

I've recently moved into a new office space which I will film out of. It has a drop ceiling which makes rigging gear to the ceiling challenging, however, I prefer it because it cuts down on cable clutter on the ground a ton. My plan is to use scissor mounts for drop ceilings, an extension...

Hi, I currently have an over-head rig in my small studio that I attach things to like this. Currently the gear I'm using is a GH5, a mediocre ballhead, panasonic's 12-35 f/2.8 lens, and an impact super clamp and 3 section impact arm. This works pretty well and it allows me to adjust the...

Attached is a diagram of what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to light a 7ft x 3ft wide desk from above with a Kino Flo (and likely some diffusion in between). My idea was to use two C-stands on either side of the desk, with a nano clamp attached to the baby pin of the C-stand, gripping onto a 1/2"...

I'm planning on have a lighting setup that mixes LED lights with china balls that have CFL's installed in them for filling out a room with light. I know that even though I can dial in the color temp on my LED, the lights won't be identical so I've begun hunting around for a color meter to...

Hey guys, Looking for some very bright lights to bounce off of a white card or shoot through a lot of diffusion with a budget of about 1.5k (I don't mind spending less money as well:Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)). About 2 years ago, NFS released an article comparing 28 different LED fixtures...

Hi, I make art videos on youtube and I'm always struggling to make the art show up correctly in video. With a video color checker chart you can address issues with white balance and color shift, but nothing tells me how much I need to saturate/desaturate my image to get it close to reality...

I recently purchased a GH5 for Black Friday coming from a GH4 and wow....the menu has significantly more stuffed into it. I'm going to need to take some time to educate myself. My largest confusion is about the various recording formats, and the impact of using something HLG, v.s. vlog, v.s...

I've never had a drift issue with my GH4 and sound devices mix pre3 until a week ago. In a 20 minute recording, the drift will be 4-5 seconds which is insane. I reset my mix pre3 to factory defaults and am still having the same issue. Any idea what might be causing such a severe drift? Scott

I like to save off my premiere pro projects with Project Manager. My settings are: Consolidate and Transcode: Individual Clips Quick Time GoPro CineForm 12 Bit w/Alpha The original project is around 130GB, Project Manager says it'll be around 16GB, when it actually finishes it's like 500GB...

I'd like to replace my crappy $80 tripod with something nicer and I've settled on this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/822102-REG/Sachtler_1001_Ace_Fluid_Head_with.html I asked B&H what QR plate and receiver I could use that would be compatible with this and they said there isn't one...

I am currently using the stereo out of my mix-pre3 to feed the mic input on my GH4. My exact config is like this: http://cdn.sounddevices.com/download/guides/MixPreSeries-PanasonicGH45.pdf I've discovered that when I plug any aux cable from the stereo out of my mix pre 3 to the mic input of my...

I shoot video on a little set I created which comprises mostly of posters on a flat wall. The problem with the posters is the glass/acrylic. It operates as a mirror for my lights reflecting all back at the camera in some capacity. A solution would be to ditch the posters, and use something else...

I picked up one of these guys on a recent group buy and I need to rig it up on wheels and a boom arm. On one end of the spectrum there's this cheap thing...

I understand this is the GH forum, I hope it's OK to ask about the G85 here. Does anyone know if the live preview monitor goes black or stays on while recording with the G85 with the hdmi out cable plugged into something like a Atomos recorder, or a Blackmagic Intensity card, etc. The G7's...

Just bought a MixPre3 and used it on a typical project and I'm getting all sorts of weird little audio anomalies. Little pops, cracks, noise ramping up and ending in a pop, etc. I'm using an Oktava MK-012-01 boomed out of frame above into the MixPre3 via XLR. Here's a few examples of the...

I've lost many hours of editing to Adobe Premiere's constant crashing. It's a very poor piece of software and is becoming increasingly frustrating to use. I'm curious if anyone with a similar experience with Adobe Premiere switched over to Resolve and had a much more pleasant experience.

I'm about to go for the kit suggested by Caleb Pike in his "Best $500 Video Lighting Kit and What You Can Do With It" article: http://dslrvideoshooter.com/best-500-video-lighting-kit-can/ I just want to make sure that I'm not making a gross mistakes by going for these few lights. My current...

Looking for this combo for my GH4. Want a metabones adapter that will adapt canon lenses to m43. Fine with either Ultra or XL.

At the risk of chastisement, I was wondering if there were any mid range (~$500) tripods that employ the hand crank for lowering the raising the camera? They seem to only be on tripods in this price range: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/842090-REG/magnus_vt_300_video_tripod_w_2_way.html...
