I'm also interested in the Moza AirCross. Here the P4K is listed in "Supported Cameras". Let us know your take on it. (And the new announced Moza AirCross 2 sounds interesting, too. Except its details are not known yet.)

Now the only thing is to make a killer band. It might speed things. I'm in. ?

So true. XC10 is a good camera (within its own limits, like any other gear). And when those two clowns (Chris and Jordan) were engaged to make "reviews" for DPR, I stopped to follow the site. (I should have done that earlier, however.) From @Andrew Reid to them, a clear path of decline. Now DRP is just in business of marketing newest gear.

I also have Laowa 7.5/2 (for MFT, so it is 15mm equiv.). A good lens, I would say, it is rectilinear, but, of course, it is necessary to pay attention to the angle of view. Generally Laowa lenses are well built.

Yes. I'm on DR 16b1 already a week. No issues whatsoever. (MacMini 2018)

I don't "hate so much", I don't hate them at all. You simply attributed it to me. And I didn't talk about entertainment - let them amuse themselves to death, no problem with me - but about useful videos on Something (contents like gear, software or similar reviews) which become more and more boring, sometimes even annoying, just because the author or presenter put himself, his hands, his "sound", high above his content. I specifically have in mind people who aspire to be or to become video authors. A cliche is that it is not enough to have a dicent gear, and a skill to use it, but also to be elementary considerate of others eyes, ears, time, and intellect. But yor are right, they are not speaking to me.

@webrunner5 You are right, YouTube videos could be both charming and tormeting, extremely helpful and totally purposeless. No rules, a net anarchy, which is better than any authoritarian space. What pains me is when I sometimes see some very useful stuff made in rush, by someone who is really nice, like today (when I was reminded of Hamlet not sawing the air). Btw, a very good explanation of usefullness of the new Cut page in DaVinci Resolve 16beta1 (if only he wasn't so "super-excited", to keep his hands still and ecape the too bright window behind):

I was talking about Youtube(rs). What of your "hahaha" could be "directly applied" to my post?

1. What makes you(tuber) think that I'm interesting to look at your face most of the time? If your video is about Something, make it to be about that Something, not about your narcissistic persona. 2. "Do not saw the air too much with your hand thus, but use all gently, for in the very torrent, tempest, and (as I may say) whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness." Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III, Scene 2, 1603 AD. - So, tie your hands behind your back until you get used to not sawing the air. 3. If you must have some kind of opening, make it short. And do not let me wait for 30-60-90 seconds for actual start, go for It as soon as possible. 4. Also, do not put loud soundtrack that drums or screams into my ears. I'm not interested in your "musical" taste, nor I came to watch you video for that. Be polite. (And try not to use loud soundtrack in background that interferes with your voice and words.) Be articulate. 5. Do not bother me by asking to like or subscibe to your video)s). If they are interesting to me, then I'll do it. 6. Rehearse or make a plan beforehand, practice, that will make you more "pro" than any other gimmick. 7. Try to be economic with time. Do not waste yours, nor mine. Be short, precise and (and at least try to be) intelligent. Do not repeat yourself. 8. Find someone who would be critical but fair about your videos, and show them to him or to her, then listen. Four eyes could see more than two. Especially if you are trying to be innovative. 9. Don't just give to me your precious opinions. Give me the reasons why you think so-and-so, and then I'd accept your opinions (or I won't). 10. Go to the good museums, read clever books, watch classic movies. Your personal culture always needs improving.

Use it to activate DR 16. One can use 2 licenced copies of DR (on 2 computers, or pn 2 partitions). If one attemps to use the same licence on the 3rd instance, it will activate the 3rd, but deactivate the others. However, one can always reactivate DR (within the limit of 2 instances), as well as deactivate DR through the Help menu.

Kind of summary for DR 16 (link). The whole thing is here (.pdf). Also for a quick edit, or for preparing proper edit, etc. Several possible uses of a new Cut page.

It needs a pretty strong contrast to work.

Perhaps not a full stop, maybe a half or 2/3 of it in my testing of BRAW in the last couple of days. And to add, it seems to me that people who criticise BRAW - in the sense whether it is RAW or raw etc. - among other things forget that BRAW is also meant to be (post)processed in the DaVinci Resolve at the first place, where this new codec - which would evolve in time to come - shows as a very robust for grading. For me, it is gradable as much as cDNG, not to mention that it is more efficient for memory cards and computers. So far I wouldn't complain, and it is still posible to roll back to the 6.1 version with cDNG, if anyone needs so.

This one - IceCam Tiny 3 Vision - looks interesting because it is light (only 840g, holds up to 2.5kg). It comes from Italy and perhaps some EosHD forum member from there could ask the IceCam company if it works with BMPCC 4K.

It's too early for any conclusion, especially for shots with so many unknown other parameters (what lens, what compression, etc. etc - and the focus in this video is not quite accurate). Much more tests are needed to say "shocking" (or "superb"). Good thing that everyone can downgrade to the 6.1 version if not satisfied with the 6.2. Edit: And the author removed the video. ?

BMPCC 4K BRAW and ProRes Comparison:

Grant Petty, CEO of the BM Design, said so in his presentation of BRAW (at 4:29 and 27:14):

Yes, a good review. I have the Osmo Pocket for a week now, and although I've had a little time to test is properly, I tend to agree with the reviewer on many points. The video quality is good, surprisingly good for such a small camera. The sofware, however, both in the Pocket iiself, and in the Mimo app, seems somehow unfinished and a bit confusing. The better manual is also missing. The icons are not so intuitive, some options works in a strange way, or even don't work - like exposition correction in the the Mimo app, or, more important to me, a way to stop down overall exposition - one can change ISO down to 100, but still the light is too bright on a sunny, snowy day like here where I'm, so I had to increase shutter speed up to 1/800 (and the footage remains smooth, to my surprize, like it is not shutter speed change!?), since I have not found yet the way to stop down the aperture itself (it's more like it is always on f/2). - But it is good in low light, for inside shots, and my overall impresion is that this Osmo Pocket is useful for home or private (like travell) use. The footage is good, well stabilized (here I don't agree with the reviewer), and not bad for grading interventions in post. I hope the DJI will soon give us better software solutions for this interesting toy.

A decent toy, this Osmo Pocket - a YouTube example (1080, 60fps).

Yes, they (RAW files) can be imported and edited (and graded) in the Resolve 12.5, I confirm.

A question (if it could be asked in this thread): Does the P4K absolutely need Resolve 15, or earlier Resolve 12.5 could grade a bit (in a very basic way) its shots and then export / edit all in FCPX for example? I have an old Mac Mini, good for Resolve 12.5, but weak for version 15. My P4K should come soon. PS: In searching the net about the option to make a Linux station with Resolve 15, this exchange between and Unknown and an Anonymous enlightened me not to go in that direction: ?

To add, it seems that Osmo Pocket has nice stills, 12MP DNG raw. Together with video, it is like a nice usefull pocket-book always with you.

An interesting read: http://www.focuspulling.com/bmpcc4k-learning/ For example, "Bob insists that the Pocket 4K’s sensor is not the same manufacturing part as the one in the GH5S", Bob being Bob Caniglia of Blackmagic Design. Also, on P4K ("Quattro Kappa" for Italians) memory cards and SSD, USB-C variants, audio XLR and 4 mics on the camera, bluetooth remote control, Extended Video, dual ISO, shutter angle vs. speed, window(ed) shooting, etc.

A bit of basic math: 1. Weight: BMPCC4K 722 + Oly Zuiko 12-100 IS 561 + Sammy T5 USB-C 51 = approx. 1,3 Kg 2. In $: 1300 + 1200 + 280 = 2700$ Then other things (a rig or a cage, or a gimbal, cables, etc.) come. Not bad in 1 nor 2.

With the stills you can basically do 3 things: 1) print some of them (the best way); 2) put some of them on the net (well, a mediocre way, since they loose their precious IQ, and get lost into net galaxies of pics), 3) bury them into a hard disk folder and essentially forget them. And there is perhaps a 4th way: sometimes to combine stills and video sequences into a short video, organize them as a story, put there some humor and irony, music etc. Then your stills could then gain a new life and perhaps remain less forgotten. I'm for this playful combo of different rhytms of stills and video shots into videos, esp. as personal small projects that keep you on both sides of the image devide.
