I’m pretty happy with my setup. Bought a MagSafe magnet off of amazon for $12, glued it to the T5, and then found a short usb-c 20Gbps for $7. Super secure and inconspicuous.

Call me cynical but …

Remove a single letter from sJcam and spell a new word. 🤔

At the very least… Perhaps even a slightly better promo pitch than the single line attempt above.

If I was you, I'd swap out your camera for a X-S20 (or perhaps wait a few more months, until a few more X-S20 show up secondhand). https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1765968-REG/fujifilm_16781852_x_s20_mirrorless_camera_black.html/overview https://www.newsshooter.com/2023/05/24/fujifilm-x-s20/

Exactly, any minor slight arguments in favor of the FX3 being their main/only camera is totally irrelevant once you look into how they were actually using the FX3! (for instance, always with an Atomos recorder and two timecode boxes on it, etc etc etc) In my opinion, they should have used half a dozen or so FX6 bodies with maybe a couple or so FX3 bodies for the very niche uses of crash cam / drone camera. (although it appears they used GoPros as well??? Again, I'd lean towards choosing a Sony RX0 mk2 instead... you can get s-log with 4K 10bit 422 files out of it, with a S16 sized sensor) Or $8M to spend on the production itself during filming. Interesting, the Cam Op isn't even using the Atomos as a monitor! But has added a SmallHD as his monitor for operating with.

And really, there are better options for shooting steering wheels whilst driving. I think it’s overkill and a GoPro mounted on his hat would also have allowed him to keep two hands on the wheel. Or one hand on the wheel and the other on his coffee.

One of the features from the R5C that appeals to me is the 2.9K S16 crop mode in Cinema Raw Light. I'd much rather see that mode in the R5 for the added benefit of IBIS, but it seems that most cameras I have had with IBIS were lacking in a lot of other areas, so I decided a while ago that it isn't a must have feature for me. Btw, it's good to see you're still experimenting with interesting lenses on these new cameras while everyone else is worried about some new bullshit zoom lens that lacks any ounce of character.
