I’ve never owned or used a gimbal. Always shot handheld or stationed. This is kind of in my price point, and my bday is coming up, so should I put in an order? But I own some Sigma Art lenses and they’re heavy and long, so worried it might not work? What do you guys think, and what are your tips for someone interested in getting his first gimbal?

Ah there we go! Thanks!

I usually use preview, to well yeah, preview my edits for my producers. But for a while now I've known it desaturates the image. Same thing with Quicktime. As seen below, only VLC is showing the correct colors. (1.Preview 2. VLC 3. QuickTime) Anyone knows why this happens? It's a ProRes file so it would just make sense that at least QuickTime would render the colors correctly. Only VLC does. Very curios....

Got it! I'm only familiar with the BMPCC one and didn't recognize it. I'll still keep my hopes up for a BMPCC4K specific one!! Thanks!

Anyone who recognizes the speedbooster here? Or can we expect a BMP4K specific one around release?

I’m going to a music event in the woods of Pennsylvania in August and would have loved to have it by then but I guess it’s big brother OG pocket will do! Gah, I really wish they would just drop it now for early preorders.

Work in advertising and haven't really had much time for my own projects the past years. But I am releasing a music video in June that I directed, shot (handheld BMPCC), edited and colored. For now, this is my latest, for mother's day:

Yeah, that’s def not what it looks like on my BMPCC’s DNGs. Can you please upload a DNG to here? You can’t video DR on pocket while shooting RAW. It defaults to Film.

Yes.

I agree. And he says he misses actual buttons and dials but it has the specific buttons right there, huge, next to the record button with a scroll dial. Was he even there lol

I own that Sirui and LOVE it.

I’m a little late to the game, but ProRes Raw, will I have the same raw abilities as with RAW? Like will the camera tab in DaVinci be accessible working with it? Or is it just a gloried Prores that’s easier on my hard drives?

I mean, I know Andrew from here and Luke from his YouTube (also he’s being nurtured by pana, don’t think he’d come out at say anything bad as long as he has the relationship he has with them). Who are these other people, vloggers?! Also Jonpais, now you’re personally attacking and that is offensive. I work with some pretty well know clients too, and I don’t think we’d ever consider using the GH5, we did use the a7s for some underwater shots for last gig but that was because we didn’t wanna case up the Alexa nor Digital Bolex. Anyway, why are we still talking about this?

So you say that when I paid B&H 1400USD it goes straight to BMD? I’m just curious, I would think that all vendors already pay BMD for preorder stock so they already have the initial funding. Say that B&H might get an overload of preorders and then give BMD even more money as result. Again, personally, I don’t think is preordering has given BMD a dime of our money (not as of yet at least). Just my 2 cents and I have no actual idea how this works. Again, Jonpais, you have to calm down. If people dislike the footage produced by a camera then that has nothing to do with your final product. They’re talking about the footage out of camera, not your personally graded and corrected footage. Jesus, calm down.

This will be soooo much fun! Can't believe I have to wait until September or even more!

I don't think it can spit out enough juice to actually charge the camera. I had problems with this looking for a power bank to charge my Switch.

Quick question to the people preordered with B&H, under My Orders - All Orders, what does it say under Status for y'all?

Get a DC to USBC? Use the USBC for HDD and DC to charge from powerbank?

I agree with you mercer, sorry Jon. Been skipping your comments cause all you keep talking about is that damn GH5. Little Pana-fanboy on the line? Can we stick to the subject OF Pocket4K here?

So excited to start seeing all the third party accessories to come now! @IronFilm, in response to your reply, I am curious to see what metabones might cook up for this one specifically as Simon Westland says in the youtube interview by slashcam. But also curious to see cages, and what pistol grip gimbals might be able to fit it etc.

You guys need to learn how to hold your cameras correctly, and also how to pull focus. I have a few Cannes lions under my belt and I’ve shot with no ibis, non active lens mounts and finally NO AF for the past 7-8years. This camera is crazy insane, and also it’s freaking 1400dollars with tax!!! Like what stuff do you guys even shot?!

So in response to my previous question. I own only 3 lenses, all Nikon mount, Sigma Art 18-35 and 55-100 and 12mm Rokinon Cine DS. I assume the Sigma ones will work with an adapter as they’re 1.7x right? Any thoughts on the 12mm Rokinon? And using a speedbooster with non FF lenses would just be stupid right?

Well got my preorder done from B&H! Let’s see how backordered this one will be! So can I use my BMPCC speedbooster on this? I don’t want to rebuy my glass.

Why do they have the OG Pocket as pic?

Yeah, no audio here either
