Hahaha! I know that is a lie. Because I already had a beard when I started the "Sound Speed!" channel. Although many many years ago, I used to rock a goatee which was just as long as my beard is now (if not longer!).

My first "jobs" were on student short films, or no budget web series, or similar such shoots. How confident was I? Very. As I'd been "DoP" or AC on numerous such shoots like those already, and I felt confident I could perform better than the average soundie I'd usually see on such levels of shoots!

It is true. If you have 1.1 crop applied to a 2x crop, that doesn't mean you've got a 3.1 crop!! ha No, you have a 2.2 crop in action

Back in the day, people would use say a G3 to transmit TC. I wouldn't settle for anything less like using a bluetooth audio transmitter! But this still makes no sense, why are you not taking TC from the BNC TC output of the F4??? And why use a bluetooth transmitter at all when a Tentacle Sync E is so very small / lightweight / cheap! Which app exactly is this? Movie Slate Pro? Ahhhhh.... I see now! Well, that isn't the usual usage for UB. Normally that is set to the day's date then left alone for the whole day's shoot, until the next day. I highly highly HIGHLY RECOMMEND you talk to the guys at Timecode Systems Ltd, get yourself an Ultrasync BLUE https://www.timecodesystems.com/products-home/ultrasyncblue/ Earlier in the thread I mentioned :Blink to you, and indeed now I know more about what you're doing I reckon this absolutely is the path you should investigate first because you're developing a new app. What you want to do is make sure your app can talk with TCS' gear, so a person could just velcro an Ultrasync BLUE to the pack of their phone/tablet (so that the Ultrasync BLUE is kept nearby in range always to the app device), then the rest of the cameras/recorders on set can all be on the :Blink network (using Ultrasync ONEs and a :Wave for instance). Also check out very very thoroughly what Movie Slate Pro already does, you'll need to think about a few questions: are you going to be an additional tool alongside Movie Slate Pro? Or are you aiming to replace it completely with something better? Or is your goal completely different?

It would be tough to argue that the "FF" options offer *better* low light performance. At best, "equivalent". The GH5S isn't an "upgrade" to the GH5 but a complementary camera to the GH5, and its price reflects that, with them both being fairly similar ish in price. The Pocket and E2 are rumored to have "the same sensor", but the Panasonic cameras always are much better implemented / polished / stable. It is worth paying a small premium for that.

I wouldn't buy it at the US$500ish I've been seeing it sell for in 2018, but damn... that is really cheap! As for myself, I still have my BMPCC, and use it now and then. Sometimes for vlogging with, but I prefer my Panasonic G6 for its flip out screen for selfie filming. Also use my BMPCC a little as B/C Cam when I'm shooting with others. You like the OG more than the BMPCC4K??

How would you even send TC over bluetooth from the F4?? Sure there is the app, which displays it, but what practical purpose does it have when used with a camera, who would you then get it into a camera to be used? (this is why we have TC boxes) Then you have range issues etc This sounds like a very confused question. Why on earth would you make a smartphone be your master clock??? That will take a few weeks of watching a better! I wonder if anybody has ever watched all my videos? Not even I have done that :-o Extreme obsession. Some textbooks. Hanging out on forums all the time like jwsoundgroup Some youtube channels like Matt Price's one. Doing it all the time as much as I can on as many shoots as possible. (on which point, must dash! Have another shoot soon. Just some corporate one I'm doing sound for, nothing too exciting though. I won't vlog about it) What other metadata? Sadly we don't seem to have a good standard way to do this widespread sharing of metadata easily on sets, with Timecode System's :blink network with a 6 series perhaps kinda being one exception.

Only if BMD works very closely with Nikon first

Just buy the GH5S! And you'll still get to have matching accessories and lenses, plus the perfect B cam to it: your original GH5 You seem to be getting Hz and FPS mixed up a lot in this thread.....

EOSHD Opinion - The Sony A6400 is an absolute turkey
IronFilm replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
The a6000 was from FIVE YEARS AGO I'd say it bloody well had better have improved since then! And very substantially so. -
Vimeo legal blunder leads to $10 million fine in Italy

Imagine if you owned a house, and thus EVERY law that was broken by anybody in your house, you are then equally "guilty" of the crime as well. Even if you were never there yourself, and had no knowledge whatsoever of the crime. -

Not plus, but times. It is multiplication, not addition.

I have six words for you: Do not. Do not. Do not. WTF??? WHY???? Use the BNC TC output on the bottom of the F4 :-) Also, another video is up:

Yeah the Z Cam E2C should be sure to ship this year, and I think it is just $699? And it will have 4K 10bit internal
-
Hopefully. But I'd only give it 50/50 that we'd see this from Sony in 2019 And likely it will only be in some of their more expensive bodies. While we've got a good 50/50 Panasonic could decide 2019 is the year to bring 10bit to even their cheaper bodies. (after all Fujifilm is nearly there with their quite affordable X-T3)
-
Wrong, the core reason is because it is a brand new sensor they're using (a very good one too!) but which produces much more heat than usual and thus needs a bigger/better heatsink (which is tough to do with IBIS). However, they did highlight that for a few people no IBIS is a benefit. You're still restricted to 8bit with Sony. Unlike with Panasonic or Nikon Z series when you'll get 10bit (or even raw from Nikon!).
-
You can already get 41K120FPS right now for sub $2K with the Z Cam E2 ?
-
It is going to happen! If not this year (with a X-T30 or Panasonic G90 or similar), then it will in 2020! I bet it
-
I meant to write "4K 30fps 10bit internal", kinda was implied by the reference to "internal" and the discussion just immediately before about 10bit
