FS7: I need FS7 several seconds long masters straight from the camera

I'm still trying to sell my heavy, cumbersome and over-complicated HD equipment which I can't handle any more due to my spinal cord condition. Already managed to sell the FS100 camera with all the belongings for quite a good price, so if I'm lucky enough and find a similar buyer interested with my stuff around the EX1 camera, I'll be able to say that I didn't loose to much and cameras earned for themselves during my ownership period...


In the meantime, I'm debating which camera to choose as my hobby tool; it must be compact and not too heavy (too light isn't good, either), and of course be future-proof as probably the last camera in my lifetime. As such, I simply couldn't pass on the FS7 and even though it's quite expensive to my current standards, it might be a good candidate. Therefore I'd be very grateful to my fellow forum members to provide me with some FS7 masters - short clips straight from the camera, without any edits, grades or even recompression... I realize the clips are heavy files, so several seconds ones will suffice.


Could someone provide me with link(s) to such clips? Thank you very much in advance

PS. Since I don't have any specific LUT required, the clips should be in some color space & gamma ready for watching; also I'm mainly interested in UHD resolution.

It may be not, but the camera is self-contained in that it's possible to use it on one's shoulder without anything extra. Oh, yes, i do realize this is not a case with any camera - hence so many add-on solutions from plethora of aftermarket suppliers - but the relaxed way I'm going to use the camera will make it possible to make a break whenever I need, and for as long as I need. So I'm NOT going to use any add-ons at all (apart from perhaps a back-plate for a large battery that would make the rig even more balanced, especially with a larger lens).
 
While you can add a bunch of stuff, I use it all the time just barebones and it works fine.

If it's on your shoulder all day, it would be easier to have a proper shoulder rig, but compared to other cameras in it's class - C300, F3, FS700, DSLRs, etc... it's way better just bare bones.

The one thing that does really suck is the EVF because the Loupe is really long. My friend uses the Zacuto BMC Pocket Cam Loupe for the FS7 and it's much better, but it's does not have the flip up, only detaches.

The FS7 makes even the EX3 seem like a lightweight camera. Of course, I have a Shogun recorder on mine and a Rode NT4 mic attached. The 28-135 lens along weighs close to an EX1 by itself. I've added rails, matte box, etc., and the package is quite heavy now. However, it's more manageable on the shoulder than EX3. I'm going to be finding this out in a very intimate way over the holiday weekend, as I'll be walking all over town with it, covering festivities for hours on end. If I don't report back on Saturday or Sunday, you'll know that my back went out on me and I'm hospitalized. /-}

My Dropbox account is good for 1-2 GB, but my DSL connection is very slow.. takes all night to upload a clip. But I suppose I could shoot a couple seconds of REC709 in UHD to XAVC (I or L is your choice). A few seconds is around 100MB. I can upload that in about an hour or less. What is the purpose? NLE compatibility or quality of image check?
