  1. Sounds like something like this would be useful: http://www.24shots.com/silencer-pro-trigger-controlled-camera-follow-focus/
  2. There are also work arounds for the a6300, but how do you know a similar FW update will never be released for it? ...yes, and the a6300 costs $2,000 less. I mentioned the lack of IBIS, which isn't a big deal if you use stabilized lenses or a gimbal, or both. I haven't seen a side-by-side comparison of DR between the a6300 and A7Rii, but I'm willing to bet the difference is negligible. Rolling shutter may be slightly worse on the a6300, but is it enough to warrant spending $2,000 more for either of the other two cameras? Depends on what you shoot and how much you have to spend.
  3. The a6300 actually seems to combine some of the best of both cameras into a slightly smaller, and MUCH cheaper package. It has incredible autofocus using native lenses (better than both a7Rii and a7Sii). Low light is comparable to Rii, not as good as Sii. It is 24 megapixels, so it's somewhere between the Rii and Sii. Definitely enough MPs for great stills. It downsamples 6k to 4k so the footage is extremely sharp. Has a lot of the video features of the Sii. The only thing you'd be losing would be IBIS but you can always use stabilized lenses or a gimbal. The major drawbacks of the 6300 are also present in the Rii and Sii, such as the poor battery life, potential for overheating, and lack of touch screen - which makes the a6300 a better value.
  4. Reading the comments on the video and the other one he uploaded, it appears that when he put his camera on the 4200, one of the springs broke. He also says, "the gimbal will work, but you need to fix bug". So, are we looking at both mechanical and electronic issues?
  5. That "review" was rather pointless, lol. Why do people upload crap like this?
  6. Maybe that's because simulating walking bounce would show how unstable the 3-axis gimbal itself is, nevermind the functionality or non-functionality of the spring arms (go to 23:15 and 23:50 in the video to see the gimbal do the funky chicken). To be fair, he may not have had the camera balanced very well, but...I think I'd have my mess together at a trade show. In fact, I'd take only a fool-proof sample of the product. But yeah, the whole thing is odd, and it doesn't seem that Filmpower even understands the strangeness of "demoing" a product whose sole distinguishing feature is not even demonstrated.
  7. LOL, wow -- It's a picture...of a picture! You couldn't take a prototype, or something?? All I see is the old 4000. I follow your FB page(s) and I really don't understand "updates" like this. There is nothing new to show. The last "big update" Filmpower has given us about the 4200 has been "spy pics" of....the case? Really? Show us the gimbal. Show it in action. Show some footage! We're intrigued by the idea and would love to see it succeed. The Nebula 4200 was announced on August 27 on your Twitter. 2 months and 10 days later and we still don't have any more info than when it was first shown. And by the way, blocking those who raise these concerns as well as questions about where their pre-orders are on your FB page is not the best tact.
