The main camera manufacturing countries just got slapped by Tango-man. China - 34% Vietnam - 46% Taiwan - 32% Japan - 24% Thailand - 36% Hope all the ones who voted for this enjoy their new electronics prices 👍 -
The price of S1RII is higher than R5II here (R5ii running on promo), that definitely makes it harder to attract new people except for the Lumix users. -

After a few tries to order the media module from stores who claimed to have it in stock, but didn't, I gave up and ordered a couple of CF Express cards that are on the recommended list when they went on sale. My cheap scrub Sabrent cards were working fine in the few limited tests I did in the house, but I'd rather use some sort of approved media when on a shoot. And then, suddenly, B&H had one in stock - and even better yet, it was used! Usually I'd be pretty iffy about buying used memory modules, but given that the UC 12K has only been in user hands for less than a year, I was pretty confident it would be fine. It showed up earlier today and as far as I can tell, it is! I still need to check if there's a way to display the media age/lifespan on the camera, but to stress test it, I set the camera to something I'd be unlikely ever to use - 8K 16:9 at 168fps in 3:1 compression. Then I set up the camera in another room pointing at a downspout in the rain and let it go. After around 30 minutes, I had to change the battery (even my biggest 220Wh v mounts only last so long, especially with the 26v converter, and it didn't start full). With the second battery in, everything recorded fine until I stopped it with 1 minute remaining. Conformed (in camera) to 23.98p, this left me with approximately 7 hours of footage. At the end, the media module was mildly warm to the touch and the camera's top handle (the fan exhaust vents upward) was uncomfortably warm. Not bad for having spent about 40 minutes writing 3 GB/second of footage. The heat sink on the media module (and on the CF Express module) is substantial and I'd guess the airflow is well-designed to flow over it. I threw it on a timeline to have a play - looks really nice and while it isn't exactly a challenging scene, the raw files seem very flexible. My biggest lesson learned was that unless BMD release a cheaper media reader, plugging the camera into 10gE is really the only way to edit stuff in situ - and the only reasonable way to offload footage. I tried it via USB and what I learned is that instead of just working as a media reader, the camera exposes a fake network interface over USB. Network properties in OSX show it as 100 megabit per second. Trying to edit that way in Resolve means a delay of more than a second when you scrub anywhere on the timeline - and playback is like ~1fps. Wifi was a little better with a slightly more responsive timeline and like 1-6fps. When I plugged into 10gE, I could edit in real time. If the cheap version of the camera (which I bought) came with a power cable, I could presumably just offload overnight with one of the slower methods, but since I'm running entirely on batteries, that's just not a good option. Anyway. Here are some water drops falling from my broken rain gutter with rain falling nearby. -

I hope proress gets released on the newer cameras again + internal ND on the full frame cinema 6k sensor. -
Very interested to hear more about this! Thanks for your thorough reflections.
