  1. Interesting! I googled that to check, and you are right, as been so for decades. I'd much prefer the BMMCC over the BMPCC as they're similar prices, because it gives you better internal battery life and 60fps slow motion. Oh, and a BMPC4K with MFT could use the full BMPC4K sensor, just like the LS300 (the 4.6K sensor however is just a little too big). I hope at NAB they announce a URSA Mini 4K MFT!
  2. Wow!! Now that is what I want
  3. Is another day, and have written yet another blog post about Kinefinity..... perhaps I am trying to singlehandedly double the amount of English content online written about Kinefinity! ;-) Talking about Kinefinity's Kinemount: http://ironfilm.co.nz/what-if-kinefinitys-kinemount-became-a-universal-cinema-mount/
  4. Is by any chance KineMount an open mount like say Micro Four Thirds is? I am guessing it is not. There is a thread over on BMCuser about possible interchangeable mounts for BMD cameras. Got me thinking that the absolute best result would be if BMD adopted the FZ mount in future cameras. FZ mount is what is used in the Sony F3/F5/F55, which I've used and is an absolutely wonderful mount! You can adapt it to anything else, for instance I've got a rock solid Nikon F mount on my Sony PMW-F3. So it works, and FZ is an already popular mount used by many. But Sony will never let BMD use FZ mount. Thus the very nearly almost as good option is to talk with Kinefinity and see if they'd open up KineMount for everybody to use (in many ways KineMount is like Sony FZ mount, and kinda better... as Kinefinity have a focal reducer option! Yay). As if that happened it would be tremendously good news for both companies, and a massive result to help the indy / hobbyist / low / medium budget film industry. Be great if Kinefinity and BMD could talk together with each other to create a universal mount system which can go onto dominate the film industry in the future. http://www.bmcuser.com/showthread.php?16668-Possible-interchangeable-mounts-for-4-6K
  5. Wow wow, that is an amazing deal on the battle test KineMINI 4K!!! Seriously considering that now... But no David, must resist the temptation to spend money! & be content with what you have now :-) Wonder how long until they'll have Battle Tested Terra bodies for sale? Probably not after a year, maybe two years from now? As I really like that ultra small form factor. I think I can squeeze out that much more lifespan from my Sony PMW-F3 / BMPCC until Terras show up as a Battle Tested deal.
  6. Craft I'm betting on being vaporware for now until I see evidence proving otherwise BMD's nearest direct competition on price/quality/raw/ProRes is KineFinity
  7. I agree! This is why I'm about to order a bunch of GoPros to stick them in a rig designed for 360, that then gets stitched together in post. It is the only way to do this at a high enough quality and at a still reasonably low cost. (low thousands)
  8. Does Apple make a habit of including on that list cameras which have not even been released yet?? And haven't yet implemented ProRes anyway. Probably not.
  9. yay!!! Now add back Cineform to them as well! ;-)
  10. My prediction is Canon will carry on being predictably boring. And BMD has never made a "mk2", why start now? No, instead it will be something new, or a twist on an existing product (like the BMCC => BMPCC => BMMCC progression was, each one a little twist and improvement on the way before. But not a "mk2"! Ditto the progression of: BMCC => BMPC4K => URSA 4K => URSA Mini 4K
  11. As you have Nikon lenses I'd recommend the NX1 If you'd have Canon lenses you'd be stuck... as then you couldn't use the NX1 And Panasonic would make more sense then.
  12. Who is going to spray paint their Terra "red"? ;-) haha
  13. It could be to do with the weight distribution, I bet the RX10 is longer and more spread out, while the BMPCC/A6000 with a pancake lens would be far far more compact (and easier on the gimbal). Envious of your liberal flying laws in Switzerland!
  14. True true, I wonder what would've been the reaction to Nikon's 4K if the A6300 had been announced one month early and Nikon's one month later. It probably wouldn't have seemed so shabby!
  15. My view on the top three low budget cameras with higher than 4K raw options (RED Raven vs URSA Mini 4.6K vs Kinefinity Terra 6K): http://ironfilm.co.nz/speculation-red-raven-vs-ursa-mini-4-6k-vs-kinefinity-terra-6k/ (.....and then I go into much more detail.... read the article!)

    Sony RX10 III

    Probably the mk4 next month will get the constant f2.8 lens version ;-)
  17. For the curious, here is the thread (I've commented a few times in that thread already, I'm "David Peterson"): http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?143351-New-6K-Terra-Camera-6K-for-5400
  18. Yeah, you need a gimbal that probably is a similar weight to the camera itself to do it properly! Which adds up to a lot of weight in total! I really would not fly an RX10, an RX100 would be just about as good but much lighter. Every gram counts!
  19. Nikon will be removing the tiny 4K time limit on the D5 in a future firmware update I read on NR. As for the issues with the D5/D500, have we forgotten already how *bad* the first ever HDSLR was from Nikon? But then fairly quickly they got ok, and then eventually surpassed Canon. I reckon the same will be true with 4K, this is just their first 4K camera. Give them a little more time and we'll see a Nikon D5700 come out eventually which does wonderful 4K for cheap!
  20. I'd go with a Nikon DL18-50 for aerial video instead
  21. The D5's 5 minute time limit will be removed with a future firmware update from Nikon. For time lapses you could use almost any modern stills camera. But if you want to splurge out a little why not get a secondhand Sony A7r mk1 for cheap?

    Sony RX10 III

    RX10 mk2 is still superior! Constant f2.8 for the win
  23. This camera would easily double its sales if only it had 10bit 4K
  24. Mercer, google "CHDK". I can write programs to run on my p&s
