  1. Hell yes, make it so! I Loved that body shape. You could but one of those in the glove box.
  2. Very true. James Miller seems to have his stuff together on the GH5. I would guess he could do the same with about any camera. He does have talent. Like you say hands down the best output i have seen yet. I think it is going to take some time before a lot of people get the hang of the GH5. It is a different beast color which is a good thing.
  3. Yeah a 20lb head ought to be using a 100mm half ball. That would be pushing the limit for a 75mm.
  4. Cool. Since I started this thread I ought to get 2 of Them!! Sweet. Thanks for the heads up kaylee.
  5. This is pretty damn well done. Food for thought. https://vimeo.com/40536121
  6. PL Metabones Speedbooser Ultra is here. https://***URL not allowed***/metabones-pl-e-t-cine-speed-booster-ultra-is-here/
  7. I have those same legs and they weigh a freaking ton. And it's really not that easy to set it up either. Now once it is set up it is sturdy as hell, but... And I don't think the 3063 Head is really even a real Fluid head. They are more of a industrial head, meant to take a beating. I have heard very few good reviews on it working well for heavy video use. I mean sure for the money pretty hard to beat one though. But you are looking at 15 pounds of tripod and head here to move around. It will be a hump trust me. I have found with the legs to NEVER have the camera on them before you get it set up. The legs can spread out almost all the way to the ground, which is a good thing when you Want That to happen, but it can tip over too damn easy for my liking!! They are good legs and a accident waiting to happen all at the same time. But the center column is sturdy as hell even almost fully extended. It really is a Photo tripod, not video legs. Just be damn careful. and don't get in a hurry with them. No way you can kill the damn tripod, will it to your great, great grandchildren they are built that good. I mean it is a Hell of a tripod for nearly no money.
  8. Yeah not good. I thought the Natural looked pretty good, but v-log, ehh, not so good.
  9. Yeah, more like 70% tops on a Panasonic camera.
  10. Pretty neat time saver if you use FCP, Probably works in other Editors. http://nofilmschool.com/2017/03/watch-how-use-waveforms-quickly-edit-dialogue
  11. Now that was one crazy good, great filmmaker, writer, Cinephotographer!!
  12. Yikes, the Borg is among us! Or maybe we, are, the Borg??
  13. Both are closer than one would think, but there are so many good LuTs out there now, just about anything is possible. But I would think Raw on the Ursa would be, well, better. But to the average person I doubt they would see it, or even care about it.
  14. I know this is Way off the topic The new "Based on the award-winning Pascal architecture, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti features massive gaming horsepower with 3584 NVIDIA® CUDA® cores and 12 billion transistors" Jesus C. 3584 NVIDIA® CUDA® cores and 12 billion transistors. 12 Billion, yeah 12 Billion, and 3584 Cores on a video card! What the hell LoL. Man what a time we live in!
  15. Well since I am nearly 70, a week away, but hell who is counting! , I grew up with film, made my living a lot with film , even Video, Sony Beta SP video, was sort of like film using tape, I have it, that look embedded in my soul, my mind. I grew up when there was Only B&W TV's, I Love B&W movies from the 40's 50's. So I am biased as hell, no doubt. I am looking for that look, sure am not going to go back to film, but I like that smooth, buttery look a film can have shot on film. Nothing like it. But I am a dying breed. film today is reserved few a few highly respected producers, directors, and they too are a dying breed. Digital is here to stay, but like Pink Floyd, Stones, ACDC, Led Zeppelin, it ain't dead yet. And I still like to pursue it if I can. But there is a whole new generation that can take advantage of all the wonderful Digital stuff, for really some cheap prices, and make it how They want to see it look. And that is a good thing for them to pursue also. Because by the time they get my age, it will be a , "damn this new stuff sucks ass compared to what I grew up on" thing. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing. Even if it was right or wrong, it brings a smile to your face. A happy time indeed. It is a reward for a long life's journey.
  16. Wow, I really don't know a lot about the GH5 color science. I have not paid much attention to it as I am not buying it, no matter. But from what I Have seen I think it looks like a pretty damn big improvement In Color Science, am I right?? But wow in love with Panasonic Color Science, gulp, yikes Fritz you are seeing something Way different than I see, but I am old and can't see too well anymore. IF you would had said BMPCC, Canon C300, eh Canon 5D mkIII Raw ML, heck even my Panny AF100A, well, well I am running out. I guess in the see what you see, hmm I guess you are right, but I don't like the see what you see look, and I don't think too many on here do, well maybe not, damn maybe they do, Hell. I Don't like a digital look, I Like a filmic look, It has its uses in advertising, I guess even Weddings, Maybe, but, but I sure don't try to get razor sharp, perfect contrasty from hell output from my cameras. Quite the opposite. But that is why we are NOT all created equal, and I sure as hell respect your opinion, I really do. They are popular as hell for a reason. I guess some of us are in the minority here for sure. Like, maybe me Heck I even put a shiity 50 dollar B4 lens I have, on my Panny G7, to cut down the digital look on it in 4k. That is what I sort of think about Panasonic "Color Science"! Now taking still photos, I want it so sharp it cuts my eyeballs when I look at it!!!
  17. That sort of is the main problem with the GH5, and GH4, etc, if you use a Speedbooster, which most people use with a EF mount, autofocus with them on average sucks ass. Sure they work a treat like they say with native glass, but when you try to up the sensor size by using a Metabones you loose any dependable AF. That is the big advantage the Sony A7r mkII has. And I guess even the A6500 has. They sort of do work with EF glass. Hell the A7r mkII maybe damn near as good as a Canon on AF. The old "No Perfect Camera" stuff again.
  18. Yeah, I figured you would say something like that. But true, I am a Old Man.
  19. Interesting spreadsheet for camera battery life From Lens Rentals. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UvrpF_MvcadJAv_YjfyaNtP-FCkM8TGjZ0Xp-pnIAcY/edit#gid=0
  20. Thanks for following me. I can be a old crusty turd at times. But with age and experience comes wisdom, welll it is Suppose to work that way. :grimace:  Welcome aboard.

  21. Yeah other than no OIS, I think it has a better output, color wise, than my iPhone 6s Plus. Trouble with iPhone I was pretty much forced to by a model with the 128gb memory to use with 4k. Paid damn near 1000 bucks for it! On the Note 4 it has a micro SD card you can use. Damn Apple and their whore making money schemes. It really gets old. But I use it mostly for the Facetime feature which IS a great thing to have when you have children, grandchildren all around the country like I do.
