As I say, they've recently updated it in the past few weeks to fix issues they had with Mojave so a lot of it will be related to those previous problems. I have not switched to Mojave so can't comment but I'm on High Sierra 10.13.5 and it works fine for me with the latest version installed. It even gives me a Touch Bar emulation at a cheaper price than upgrading my MBP With regard to price, it is a one off price for the regular version ($20-ish) and a subscription add on for the pro version which lets you use the iPad as a digitiser. I use it in a few different ways, depending on what I'm up to. In FCP-X I have the iPad Pro handling the interface and the MBP full screen as the picture monitor. For work, I will be editing pictures on the MBP and use the iPad Pro to view and control the FTP application so I can keep an eye on the transmission of the pictures to the agency without having to swap applications. As Duet works with any iOS device (and the one off payment covers you to use it on all the devices linked to your Apple account) then I tend to use an iPhone more than an iPad for that as it saves space and is an appropriate screen size for a smaller application. There are other similar products out there though so have a look around.

Oh that that where the only bug in that project. Have a look at Duet. I use mine with the Mountie clip system that attaches it to the side of the laptop screen but any old stand will do. They have recently fixed the issues they had with Mojave.

The original poster didn't come back with a resolution but I suspect this thread from DVXUser is the same person. Judging by that, the solution did seem to be sending it back to Panasonic for a repair (or replacement in his case as it was under warranty). There is an interesting post further down in that thread from someone saying that their one didn't AF unless it was actually recording so that might be worth a try to at least try and see if it makes a difference. http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?356676-12-35mm-2-8-NO-FOCUS-past-12mm

Just pondering whether if you attached something like this to the 1/4-20 mount on the top of the camera you could then have an adjustable way to mount some additional weight to the camera itself to try and balance it for the additional weight of the 18-35mm (Its about 140g difference looking at the specs of the lenses) without having to move it back too far ?

I'm not sure I follow what you mean about buying all the options? If you are talking about the different resolution options, then if you buy the €90 Multi Rez Stock Kit then you get all of them included. Or are you talking about the overall cost when you add the controller? As even with the more expensive option (the Arturia) its about €180, which is less than a fifth of the price of another option such as the BM Mini controller. Having said that, the BM Mini controller is a very, very nice looking piece of kit. I previously couldn't justify the cost of the available ones based on how much I did it but these and other lower cost solutions have given me pause for thought and I possibly will in the near future. I'm very much in favour of anything that offers a tactile interface to applications, so I use numerous different MIDI controllers for controlling DAWs and synths and even Lightroom via the LrControl plugin. And, of course, who can forget my very own custom real time Panasonic picture profile tweaker Maybe I should revive that for Resolve ! For keyboard shortcuts for Resolve and other applications like FCP-X, Logic and Lightroom I use silicon keyboard covers like these They are about £5 each on eBay and just lift on and off when you swap applications. I also have a generic one for when I'm working as it keeps the elements out of the keyboard. The other thing I've used for editing for years is the Contour ShuttleXpress. I used to use the original one but the more compact one is enough for what I need for jog/shuttle and marking in and out points etc. I'm not a colourist so I can't speak about it with any authority or insight whatsoever but I can definitely see where the wheels and trackballs would be a big boon, analogous as they are to the controls inside the software. If you want to dip a toe in then Tangent (who make a series of lower cost hardware controllers for Resolve) have an app that can turn an android or iOS tablet into a virtual version. The full price is £80 but they do a free version which you can use for an hour a day to see if its something that works for you. I wasn't actually aware of it before myself so I think I might have a go as well. Video about it here

With it being Bluetooth LE, I suspect this will be related to the F8n not allowing multiple client devices being registered for notification and/or write on the same service characteristic(s). However....whilst not a single button button option I think this will provide you with a solution.... If you go into the Ipad settings screen and tell it to forget the F8n then it will remove the bonding from the F8n which will then make it available to the iPod. Then when you want to swap back you would do the same on the Ipod to break the bond and make it available to the iPad. As I say, its not an instant single button solution but shouldn't take more than 10-15 seconds.

Nce find. If anyone is interested in a hardware controller for Resolve then Tachyon also have a 40% off sale running on their interface software to run with affordable MIDI controllers. The Arturia Beatstep version is ideal for keeping the footprint small and the Akai APC40 version has a ton of direct access controls. You have to source the controller yourself, the Arturia is roughly £75 and the Akai APC40 (which has to be the Mark I) is about £40 used. With the current sale on the software, the total solution is about £135 for the Arturia and £100 for the Akai. https://posttools.tachyon-consulting.com/davinci-resolve-controllers/beatstep-resolve-edition/ This is a run through of it and at 06:00 there is a very cool feature to control curves.

For the love of God, he needs to take the music off that video. Difficult to hear the lens noise he's talking about or any of his other observations when its drowned out by a soft porn soundtrack. That aside, I thought the Z6 did pretty well with the face tracking, especially with the 85mm adapted lens. However, it was definitely struggling and doing an overshoot with that lens when he was on the right hand side of the frame. It also seemed to struggle even with its native lens when he moved out of the frame completely and it had no face to track as, unlike the Sony, it was very inconsistent in then subsequently acquiring focus on the Leica/Billingham bag cabinet at the rear centre of the frame. Without knowing what all of his additional fine tune AF settings were set to (which are many with Nikon of course and can also include individual lens tuning), its difficult to call it a problem but the inconsistency is a bit concerning. As it stands though, the fast acquisition of focus on the face appearing from beneath the frame certainly makes the Z6 another solid choice for coverage of weightlifting.

I'm a bit confused about the apparent incredulity of Sony releasing an 8K camera sooner rather than later as well. We have already had this video on here before but here is an interview from the BBC with a Sony Senior Manager at Photokina where he clearly states that they already have it but will just decide the timing for the customer. And the little smirk at the end of the interview doesn't exactly hint at this 'correct timing' being several years away. (Ignore the hero frame, the link will start the video at the start of the interview. BTW If you haven't seen this video before it is worth rewinding it to about 4:06 to watch Canon's European Vice President being somewhat disarmed by the direct questioning of the BBC journalist)

They refer to as "Non-CPU Lens Data" and its found in Menu>SETUP This will let you profile the lens for the camera to understand for IBIS etc Obviously, you also have to be in Manual mode for the shutter release to work.

All that is, is a brief summary of the official Photokina announcement. https://news.panasonic.co.uk/panasonic-lumix-announces-development-of-its-first-full-frame-mirrorless-cameras/ Sorry but you'll have to forgive me a wry smile here. For someone who was saying this thread was going nowhere, I do have to applaud your contribution in taking it somewhere. Well, back in time by 2 months and 10 pages does count as taking it somewhere I guess

I posted this in the other thread but it was probably more appropriate here. -------- If you are looking for a used bargain then MPB have a 10% off promotion on all of their lens stock. https://www.mpb.com/en-uk/used-equipment/used-photo-and-video/used-lenses/

I can't recommend it yet (as I am still contemplating buying it ) but just for completeness, one lens that might be interesting for you is the Handevision IBERIT 75mm f/2.4 in Leica M mount. Nope, I'd never heard of them either. Here is a review and some sample images from a German reviewer using it on a Leica M10. Google translate has mangled it a bit but you can get the gist. https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=de&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.qimago.de%2Fdas-handevision-iberit-75mm-f2-4-fuer-leica-m%2F There are also some other images from a quick LeicaRumours test and these back up the lower contrast look (certainly against the Voigtlander) that the reviewer was referring to, which is not such a bad thing in my view if you are using it for video. https://leicarumors.com/2017/03/19/quick-hands-on-review-of-the-handevision-iberit-lenses-on-a-leica-m10-camera.aspx/ There are a couple of reviews on the Adorama site where they are currently selling it for a much lower price ($379) than €600 the reviewer was basing his review on https://www.adorama.com/kal7524lcmb.html As I say, I can't recommend it as I haven't used one personally but if I can find one in Europe at the price that Adorama are selling them for then I almost certainly will be.

Yeah but isn't that sort of someone else's post you should have been quoting

Its asking me to log in What is it? EDIT>>> I've just put "WEIP" (which is the brand of the connector) into the search bar at aliexpress and its returned a lot of products featuring ladies who presumably must be riding horses. In their lingerie. EDIT 2>>> If it is this product though, then I think its a winner. This is exactly what I'm going to use my cable kit for as I already have a few of the battery mounts that are included in this kit. The curly version of the cable is actually a better solution too. Link to it here https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DC-12V-NP-F-Battery-Power-Supply-System-Mount-Adapter-Plate-Holder-for-BMCC-BMPCC-4K/32955311989.html

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was pretty close to just hacking off the connector from the mains supply if BM didn't get a move on with their cable kit and it looks like he ran out of patience before I did ! Thankfully my real cable kit is coming in a few days so I don't have to do it. If anyone is interested in making their own custom cables - which might be a bit neater for some solutions as the official ones are 65cm long - then these are the connectors (make sure you order the 2 pin version obviously ) https://weipuconnector.en.alibaba.com/product/60735848587-806276836/IP67_Industrial_Push_pull_Metal_connector_male_SF1610_Weipu_connector_electrical_connector_metal_plugs.html
