Well its difficult to say anything definitive about noise and signal loss really as I can't A/B them against anything as these are the only ones I have and the Pocket4K is the only piece of equipment I have that has mini XLR inputs. Yes, have tried with phantom powered and dynamic mic.

Whatever happened to you trying to get a cable from Tilta ? The Fuji remote does not require any power as it gets it from the camera. I think the easiest approach for you to do is to buy one of these cheap £10.99 RR100 compatible remotes from Amazon Then crack open the handle part and take it from there as at least you will then have a fully working example to work from. https://www.amazon.co.uk/JJC-Shutter-Release-Fujifilm-Replaces/dp/B07K9VLFN2 If you want to be a bit more fancy then they do a wireless version for £21.50 that you could do the same thing with. This may well be more appropriate as you can have the handle anywhere then without running cables. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Shutter-Release-Fujifilm-Replaces/dp/B07N5J6LZM

Finally got around to buying and testing these mini-XLR adapters. They are the official Blackmagic ones that they sell for the VideoAssist but obviously work fine with the Pocket4K as well. Decent build quality, very practical length of 40cm and they come in a pack of 2 for £30 so a good value as well. More to the point they are actually available, as mini-XLR to XLR is generally still a tricky cable to track down. https://cvp.com/product/blackmagic_bmd-hyperdaxlrmini2

It is not necessarily at Nikon's end of the HDMI cable. Atomos had a lawsuit with RED (which coincidentally, or not, was filed within weeks of Atomos announcing ProRes RAW recording) that was settled with them having to license RED's IP. Whether this license has created additional hurdles/costs is one potential reason for the delay as it is in the Atomos end (ie the recording of a compressed RAW signal) where any infringement would occur. Having said that, its also worth remembering I suppose that this will be the first camera that can record ProResRAW over HDMI rather than SDI so the delay could also be caused by the good old fashioned more prosaic reason of it needing a bit more work than was imagined Mind you, based on my personal experience of buying RED products in the past, that is so much a part of their brand DNA that it wouldn't surprise me if they'd patented that as well !

I mentioned the other week that Atomos are also way overdue with the NDI and Timecode modules for the Ninja V so the issues may be at that end as well if Atomos' attention is on getting those out. My side bet is still on there being some licensing issues with you know who.

Those are actually the spare ones That particular lens is a bit of a heavy breather which makes it look a bit off particularly in snap mode but the sensor needs a bit more tuning too. More samples in a few days and a bit more of an insight into how the other non-ToF aspects of the focus controller work.

I've lost track of all the simultaneous conversations about this G7 to be honest so was answering the right question in the wrong thread or the wrong question in the right thread.

Sorry, yes, I can't keep track with their names (or the sheer number of different conversations in different threads about the G7 if I'm being honest) but, yes, for 1" its the TZ100. Although the TZ80 can be hacked as well.

Bear in mind that the LX100 doesn't have Cinelike D so you will have to use the regular profiles on both if you want to match to your G7. The fixed screen may or may not bother you as well. Its a great camera and at the price they go for its a complete bargain but make sure you are comfortable with using a different profile on both before you commit. If you are set on the LX100 then it will be worth checking out @Andrew Reid's Pro Color for Panasonic as this would provide a route to a common profile between the G7 and LX100.

"Fast snap" was another clue

I was trying it in a shop when they thew me out but anecdotally from people who own them I think its a no. The cheap travel versions of the 1" cameras like the definitely TZ80 can be though. I remember posting on here that if anyone bought the demo TZ80 at Stansted airport electronics shop then it had already been pre-hacked for you by me and stored in the C3 setting

Absolutely. Three different flavours in one multi-pack. They are spoiling us.

Another quick and dirty demo just so you know that I'm not sat on my arse not getting on with it. This is brought to you via the medium of a family pack of Golden Wonder crisps and a microwave to illustrate fast snap between points and also continuous refocus as the king of low cost potato snacks approaches and retreats. It is using an Olympus 17mm f1.8 lens wide open. There is no ramping set but as with the 3C app this will be an adjustable parameter. NB. I was not preparing to put the Leica and those pickles in the microwave. TOF_31_7.m4v

Its around 15-20ms for the whole trip.

Trust me, its the hundred and first project that you don't know about that will really blow your mind. Meanwhile, unfinished symphony number 49 has had a bit of an upgrade since it was first unveiled last week. Sensor is now integrated into a separate unit that sends the measured distance wirelessly over BLE to the main focus controller which then processes it and sends it on to the camera. And also has a measurement display which will come in useful at a later date........

If you are interested in that type of 1" sensor camera as a B camera to your G7 then you might be better considering the Panasonic FZ1000 as they both have Cinelike D so will be easier to match. Same battery as well. They are also generally a bit cheaper than the RX10 too.

If Canon were Einstein, E = mc2 would be E = (mc2) * 1.74 if it was 4K

What will they talk about on their channel though? The vast majority of the interesting YouTube content is based on people knowing something (whether it be it making films or making pies) and then sharing or showcasing that knowledge. That knowledge is largely derived from the good old fashioned pursuit of having a hobby and I'm just not seeing that same interest in doing that from either my younger relatives or in general from their peers. If their only hobby is watching YouTube then the whole thing is going to eat itself pretty quickly if that is the only thing they know about to make content about ! The biggest problem that the overload of short content from social media is how it aids the normalisation of actions and statements that have previously been considered far from normal because the news cycle is now as slow as the attention span. Politicians telling bare faced lies and being woefully uninformed has now been normalised. In a time when we all have instant access to the information to disprove the lies and/or expose their stupidity, it seems bizarre to me that they are held to account less than ever. When that holding to account doesn't happen and the lying from public figures becomes so accepted then countries just sleep walk into disaster. The really sinister people behind these useful idiots are using social media to not only push and shape their agenda but also exploiting its desensitising effect on user's willingness to question it. I wish that the YouTube content that the young generation would be piling in on would be investigative documentaries exposing this stuff because they are going to have to grow up with its consequences. Sadly, it'll probably just be the usual travelogue and ranting in a PIP over a video game bollocks though.

Nah, an ingenious and/or smart man would have charged you for it

Yes you can change the settings. It is a derivative of this more comprehensive automated app which enables you to set a range for the parameter(s) that you are interested in changing. When you have set those, it will step through each permutation and take a still or do it continuously as one piece of video. When it is running, it displays the settings on the screen so you can film them at the same time as a colour chart or whatever subject you are interested in so you can reference the settings for the look that you want. There is no oIS version but it runs on very modest Android hardware so any cheap used handset can be used if you want to run it.

Yeah...sure...meanwhile in my office.

I can only speak about Europe but I've found Switzerland to be the cheapest place to buy Nikon for us and currently the Z6 with FTZ is 1700CHF which is pretty much $1700 Thats about 20% cheaper than in the UK but not so impressive for anyone in the US as its more or less the same price as you'd pay at B&H with their latest offer. You'll have to be quick though as that offer expires tonight ! https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1454249-REG/nikon_z_6_mirrorless_digital.html

I've had no issue with mine but I haven't with my LX100 either which for a lot of people was a big dust magnet as well. Might be a chance to pick up one for even cheaper then and then use this "easy" guide to removing the dust from one Can't help thinking he should have done a mic input mod while he was in there !

If you are looking for a (much) cheaper option to the RX100 that can match the colour profiles of your other Panasonic cameras then the LX10/15 (unlike the LX100) can use the Cinelike D hack made by that Focus Device Prototype Guy™. Its f1.4 on the wide end as well so its faster than even the Mark V. Still the same no microphone input bullshit though.

Sorry, that was aimed at the person that clearly didn't. Yikes at the $7K. In the UK, the used price is currently equivalent to $3K, pre haggle With the way the pound is devaluing as well it wouldn't surprise me to see that get to $2.5K post October 31st.
