That's going to eat up most of his budget isn't it? if he decides to keep his Canon gear.

Not a quick answer, but found these: http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/6344-learning-to-repair-lenses/ http://www.skgrimes.com/library/old-news/old-lenses-can-be-restored-by-re-cementing http://forum.mflenses.com/equipment-care-and-repairs-f6.html https://www.optical-cement.com/cements/cements/uv.html

@Mattias Burling I can't vouch for other manufacturers in the states, but I have bought multiple times from Canon USA, refurbished. They look new, just in a different box. And they come with warranty. Other third party stores claiming "refurb" and a scam? Maybe. At least refurb straight from Canon USA? I don't think it's a scam.

I found this. Hope it helps.

Ok so I found a GX85 repair manual online and also found this http://www.instructables.com/id/Add-external-Mic-jack-for-Canon-T1i500d/ I found youtube videos for this hack with other cameras too. I am very close to pulling the trigger for GX85 and I would like to try this. Anyone crazy enough to try this? @jase ? My soldering skills are very basic and I would probably have to practice a bit more before trying. Also found this maniac who made his own battery grip!

Yep. Even used G7 is not as cheap like Europe it seems. I am leaning towards either G7 or GX85. I was asking to see if anyone had different idea that I haven't considered.

flat black paint? also, unrelated. any footage of Canon FD 20mm 2.8? Couldn't find much online...

Ok so, I have a question semi related to the topic. What camera and lens combo would you choose for about $500 US? I have a Zoom H1 and a couple of lav mics.

It doesn't say iMac Pro, but I thought it maybe semi-related: http://appleinsider.com/articles/17/06/08/teardown-testing-discover-apple-made-2017-imacs-easier-for-users-to-upgrade

HA. You have some imagination. Also tells me you can't relate to parents. Back to writing/filming you! Share the footage of the screenshots you've been posting.

My next camera...

He explain here:

at work so I don't have links, but people have done this before. Just not the highest quality. Not sure about lag, I'm sure there are some.

It won't hurt to try. It worked on T5, though with some tinkering.

I do this and catch a lot. This is for U.S. deals slickdeals.com, setup deal alerts for stuff you are looking for. they also have mobile apps, which is great. i.e. "Panasonic" "gh5" "canon" "Nikon" "mefoto" "manfroto" "MacBook" etc. I also have Do Not Disturb on my sleeping hours on my phone, so I'm not getting alerts at night. (I'm just not the type of person to get up in the middle of the night to catch a deal, unless I knew beforehand) example: just in today is MeFOTO WalkAbout Aluminum Monopod at BHphoto Orange for $29.00, free shipping. I didn't have to go to bhphoto to know this.

Semi-related, because I'd like one less thing to setup/pack. I wonder what the performance of "modeling LED" is like on this: https://paulcbuff.com/db400.php "ultra bright LED modeling lamp (400W equivalent, daylight-balanced)"

To kind of piggy back on this topic, what would your gear list be if you were first starting out as a wedding videographer for small weddings, with a budget of $1000 USD? I'm serious. (I'm piggy backing, because there are a lot of good information here, in regards to wedding videos already.)

slightly on topic. It's currently on sale at BH! $697.99 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1302079-REG/panasonic_dmc_gx85kk_lk_dmc_gx85_digital_camera_black.html GX85 with Kit lens Panny 45-150mm $100 gift card

But it's not an American company is it?

The "Horn" in this kit, (which looks like rebranded Zhiyun) https://www.amazon.com/Glide-Gear-Motorized-Mirrorless-Stabilizer/dp/B01IRLZDBE/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1478550898&sr=1-1&keywords=glide+gear+geranos sells separately: https://www.amazon.com/BV-100-Glide-Gear-Stabilizer/dp/B00NTH7H52/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1478550975&sr=1-1&keywords=glide+gear+horn

Did not know it was going for that low. ha. will do some more looking. thanks for your input.

Yeah. as you can tell, haven't quite figured it out yet. panasonic would definitely be my main cam. Just thinking I can play around with a Canon since I got a buddy with ef lenses.

Sorry panasonic g85 or gx85, gm5

well scratch that
