The Insta360 Mic Air seems a rebranded Hollyland Lark M2, I hope they implemented the receiver in the X5 so is not using bluetooth for the audio.... this would be great. As you can put a full windmuff on it and place it in better position it would be a great improvement. Currently I sync in post a DJI Mic but is a pita. https://store.insta360.com/product/mic-air

It is more a 4.1 version than a 5, but some good refinements: - Mics with integrated wind shields, on my X4 I use the velcro wind muffle but they are quite bad and I lose them often. From the reviews audio in windy conditions seems much improved but who trust reviewers nowadays... - Replaceable lens, I never scratched mine but I got very close a few times. - Finally a quick release mount! - Pure view + larger sensor, curious to test this with MTB as the X4 needs really good light to work, already in daylight in the forest the X4 breaks a part. They now have also an external mic but nobody is speaking about.... unfortunately it does not seems like the DJI Mic 2 and Osmo Pocket 3 that can do 32 float internal in the transmitter while sending good quality to the Pocket 3. Insta360 X4 Bluetooth mic just sucks, not sure something has changed in the X5 and if the new Insta360 Mic Air is a normal Bluetooth Mic then is a big miss.

Really impressive and cool. The only thing that bothered me is the slow panning back and forth between actors when they were talking because they did not want to use two cameras and have cuts (breaking the one take choice). I started to notice and then it become more bothersome. I find a bit unnatural, as a human you would quickly switch your look to who is speaking and not this slow switch.

I have the movmax + insulator version that came out before. I use it for Cars and MTB

Yes, R5 II has the setting for Face priority and Face only. In term of AF (other than having peeking on while AF is on) R5 II can do all the R5c and much more. One of the key features that I use a lot is that you can size and position your AF area where you want. Another one is that you can load a face of the person you want to AF on and it works quite well, at first I thought it was a gimmick but in a group of people it works quite well.

R5 II RAW CLog2 is a better image than R5c RAW CLog2. Imo on the R5c CLog2 does not really give you anything more than Clog3 other than matching to other Clog2 cameras. It wasn't me testing out SRAW, I'm a big fan of 8k so I never used SRAW and probably will not if future, but if they would add SRAW for 4k 120 fps and 2k 240fps then I will be super happy. For my usage (sports, actions) the AF is a quantum leap compared to both R5 and R5c but if you do more "normal" stuff not sure it makes such a difference. I really only miss the WFM on/off but happy to trade this with the C1, C2 and C3 that is such a time saver for me especially for going from normal to HFR. I do miss a bit but not a big issue peaking while AF on.... as it helps me judging if the AF is doing his work. The movie playback on the R5c is also a bit nicer but are really small details. If you shoot RAW the R5c battery is still miserable as also when you are not shooting is consuming the same amount. Just one recurring example, Ice Hockey match, camera is on for 1.5h in 3x30min periods and I record around 10-12 min per period, R5 II I have 50% battery left, R5c I need to change battery at least once. Is the R5 II better than the R5c, for my use absolutely. Is it worth the difference in price used R5c vs new R5 II? It is a harder question to answer as the R5c is very capable and now at a good price and with the new battery it solves the biggest issue that I had.

I have two R5 II and the first firmware fixed my issue, and since then they are super stable no more issues. Very happy with mines. Now Canon please just make the waveform on/off assignable to a button.

This is wired I used exactly the same d-tap adapter for 2 years with my R5c and never had this 90 second issue, is just immediate. I use it with FXLION Nano One batteries. Never the less Canon should do an official dtap dummy batter that mimics the EP-E6P. I now moved to two R5II but if I would still be having a R5c I would simply move to EP-E6P and for really long stuff use the USB-C. PS: it is great that Canon made the R5c work with the new battery it really removes the biggest issue I had with the camera.

Since the FW update mine works flawlessly, no issue at all. Since the new FW I shoot 3 horse showjumping competitions, two MTB events and 11 Pro Ice Hockey matches and not a single glitch. I finally received my second R5 II (it took two months here in Switzerland to get it 😮) and sold my beloved R5c. Now please Canon just add a way to turn Waveform on and off with a button!!!!!

OF is a joke not sure why people watch him and repost his video.

Hope the hurricane will not hit bad. Ordering through BH is an option and the total cost is about the same as here but when I resell, not sure why people, want to see that it was brought in Switzerland even if is a 4 year old body with no warranty. Auto WB is not a major issue for me as I mostly shoot RAW, but I did notice that between "takes" especially on the ice arena is inconsistent something that the R5c is not. I will use the preset when using 10bit formats just to be on the safe side.

It seems that your first one had some hw issue on top of the bugs. I tested IBIS with the old FW at 14mm (IS lens) and 16mm (no IS lens) handheld fast panning, slow panning, tilting and twisting and I could not see the same wobble issue that the R5 had. If is still there very much improved. Since updating to the new FW I have shot 2 more hockey matches and 1 additional show jumping competition, and I did not encounter any issue. I will be selling my R5c for a second R5 II as soon as I find one in stock that here in Switzerland seems impossible to find. I can confirm that the AF, battery life and the image quality vs R5c the R5 II is definitely better. Just now I was editing a video that I shot with both R5 II and R5c both in RAW and the image of R5 II is just better and can take more beating in post. One thing that is not super is the auto WB, the R5c is more consistent. Frame grab 8k 50, ISO 4000, no noise reduction, shot through a Plexiglas...

3. Could explain why it does not happen to me a lot, because I either use the EVF but then the LCD is off an mostly turned in or I use the LCD but I don't use the EVF. Thinking about I know why it happened only in 200fps because there I was continuously switching between EVF and LCD.... I hope it fixes it. For the battery drain die you had the setting with Standby: Low Res to On? This makes a big difference while not filming how much battery you drain. R5c does not have this feature, and it burns battery at the same rate if your record or not.

Number game interpretations. For RAW with no processing you should compare to the max DR possible so it would be 14.9 vs 13.4. The proof that in 4k Log R5II 13.6 stops of usable DR vs 12, indeed disappointing 😉 And view that you are disappointed can you point hybrid cameras with more than 13.6 stops? I believe only A1 has 0.2 more... But again, I don't care about the numbers too much as I just open the files from both camera that I own and is definitely visible the better DR.

The wide lens (sensor) is the same quality as the standard one so a good improvement but other than that not much this time.
