I wonder why there would be such a design flaw from the DJI ND filters. What's the disadvantage of keeping DJI's ND filters on the whole time?

Has anyone here bought ND filters with their Pocket 3? Which ones are worth buying? I'm thinking of getting DJI and calling it a day, but I think Tiffen has its own. I don't know if it's any good.

It's a shame that it's not 422.

Some people are looking for trouble and then when they find it, they get hurt. He'll get exposed. Sooner or later.

Which Seksonic do you have?

Since you're into conspiracy theories and making things up all of a sudden, I'm wondering if you're a pedophile given your erratic behavior.

You're acting like a stalking weirdo. Get a life, man. You're asking irreverent questions and just trolling around. Get a girlfriend and you'll be happier. Don't hide behind a computer screen.

I'm not convinced the influencers can give a negative review if they want to maintain a good relationship with their camera supplier.

Right, and I hope Panasonic will put an 8K sensor in the GH8. If Panasonic can get the same ISO characteristics as the GH7's sensor in a future GH8, why not?

I use both MacOS and Windows. Sadly, Resolve doesn't support ProRes RAW. I figured if I'm going to learn any NLE, it'll be Resolve since it's available on MacOS and Windows. Both of these NLEs are relatively cheap since it's a one-time pay and there are constant software upgrades. Did I get this right? What would you guys do?

Seems like there are a lot of OT discussions here. Is anyone else excited about the GH7? Does anyone wish Panasonic developed an 8K sensor? Maybe we'll get one with the GH8?

The method that I outlined for taking photos is what I'm used to do. My inclination is to do something similar for videos, but I don't know if that's efficient or not. With my method, how do I correct the white balance in Resolve or FCP? I'm looking for detailed steps as I'm a total newbie. Thank you!

I'm a one-man team. If shooting two clips is tedious and not optimal, any better idea? Is my photography-oriented method what a lot of guys do? Or do they get the white balance right before the shoot?

Thank you, but I'm assuming you don't have the GH6?

Thank you! As I said I'm a total newbie when it comes to videos so I need a bit more details and guidance to get started. For the NLE, I will work with and try to learn FCP and Resolve. I keep using the analogy of me taking a RAW photo of the scene and then immediately taking an identical picture with the same settings and a white balance card. Then in post, I used the develop module in Adobe Lightroom to correct the white balance. I know shooting videos is different. If I were to do something similar with videos, and you seem to suggest I can do the same thing with videos, then how long does the second clip with the white balance card have to be so that I can use it to correct the white balance in the first clip? Let's say I shoot a one-minute clip of an interview conducted in an office. Then shoot a one or two-second clip with a white balance card and use Resolve's eye dropper tool?

Thanks, bro! That video helped a lot! I'm assuming the camera when using auto will get the time from the phone when it's synchronized through the Lumix app? I'm also assuming that if I want UTC, then I'll also need to set my phone's time to UTC prior to synchronizing? Thank you!

You guys are amazing, especially the last two posts. It has dramatically improved my understanding of mics, believe it or not. I guess I'm looking for an all-in-one mic, but I guess that doesn't exist. Bringing multiple mics will be an issue due to space and weight. For camera lenses, I have mostly settled on zooms and all-in-one zooms for versatility and weight savings compared to bringing multiple prime lenses.

Whenever I see a shotgun microphone, I think it's unidirectional and useful for capturing audio coming in front of me, which would be useful for interviews or stuff like that. As I said, I want to capture audio like as if I'm standing right there and soaking it in. I don't know if that makes any sense. I thought my OP was self-explanatory when I outlined what I wanted to do. Or picture this, you're standing in the street and you want to record all of the sounds of city life while recording videos of people walking on the street. With regards to the Rode stereo mic, in which situation would that mic be usefully compared to the shotgun mica that you keep on referencing? A detailed explanation would go a long way to help me understand what I need to do. I honestly don't know how else to explain what I'm looking to do.

Can someone that owns the GH6 able to confirm if it's possible to sync the camera with a PC or smartphone to UTC time? If so, how?

Thanks for the information, but I'm still not clear on this. In Adobe Lightroom, I just go to the develop module and utilize the RAW photo with the white balance card to correct the white balance in the photo that I want. Can I do the same thing in a NLE? I'm not getting the impression that I can. It still sounds like to get it right or as close to the correct WB as possible. What would be great is I shoot a clip using as close of a WB as possible and then shoot another one or two second clip holding a white balance card in the frame, and go to an NLE to use that to correct the video. I've never done this with videos before so please forgive me and help me understand it. Thx!

That's why I'm asking. I'm trying to learn without wasting my money.

How is the Deity Mic better than the Rode stereo mic for the example that I gave? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1273119-REG/rode_stereo_videomic_pro_r_stereo_videomic_pro_rycote.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4MSzBhC8ARIsAPFOuyVlatWiDYvwbkdmDaYXXFRQLSZAblR3fS9woPQFR-xRkHpYy5z8sYAaAm5ZEALw_wcB Wouldn't I want a mic to record sound from the sides and back?

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm not getting the impression that I can adjust the white balance the way I'm used to with photography which is to take a separate photo with a white balance card for post. Is video a completely different beast where I can't fix the white balance after the fact when shooting in ProRes RAW or ProRes HQ 422? I would prefer the method that I had described in the OP as there are situations where there isn't time to get the white balance right before shooting. I figure the format that I'm shooting in should allow the white balance to be changed easily without harming image quality. I do agree that I should not use auto and instead set a preset that is as close to the actual white balance as possible and correct it in post. I just don't know if I can capture the equivalent of a RAW photo with the white balance card and then use that to get the white balance right in the video.

That sounds like a great idea, especially the Deity as it's nice and small. What do you mean by a scratch mic? I'm assuming it'll be compatible with the Panasonic adapter to record 32-bit audio? Will it fit inside the mic holder in the XLR2? Microphones seem to come I various sizes. I thought these kinds of mics were unidirectional. What makes it even decent for capturing ambient audio? Thank you.

I'm not good at imagining how a video will be displayed on a screen. When watching a 17:9 video on 16:9, 16:10: and 21:9 screens, what would the black bars look like, and where it'll be?
