The ghost of squig

?

Thanks. ML works fine with external monitors, I have a smallHD 501 and AC7, but in this case I was using a Zacuto Z-Finder, the extra point of contact with my face helps with stabilization.I left the Ronin-M at home, didn't need it, and doing up to 19 hour days I had no time for it. Thanks. Yeah, the 5D Mk3 raw looks good upscaled to 4K, I have no complaints about the resolution, the 35 Leica is 70s vintage and not the sharpest lens either. As always, it's all about the story.

That's why God gave us gaff.

Hehe. No lossless in the nightlies. I only shoot 1080p, the rolling shutter in 3k is horrendous. 1080p raw upscaled to 4K looks solid. I just bought an X-T3 and a Pocket 4K, I'll be testing them both up against the Mk3 raw and posting the results when I have time. I love the look of the Mk3 raw, but the 11.7 stop dynamic range is a big limitation.

Thanks. You too.

I just did a few jobs for independent candidates running for parliament. Besides some gopro adventure footage at the beginning of the first film, it's all 5D MK3 14bit lossless. 99% shot with an old Leica 35mm summicron-r, a few shots with the 90mm summicron and 135mm elmarit-r. Almost all of it shot from the shoulder. Also used a B+W Käsemann polariser and a cheap Hoya ND. Cut and graded in Resolve 16 with filmconvert and http://www.colorghear.com/ , upscaled to UHD.

I picked up one yesterday to test and the non-locking doesn't really bother me. The mic jack fit is snug, plus you can run it without a lav. It sounds best running it at it's lowest gain setting into a mixpre-d, it would be the opposite running into noisy DSLR mic inputs of course. It sounds even better with a Sennheiser lav as tested in this vid, but in a noisier or live room I don't think non audiophiles would notice any difference. I just bought 4 or them, and I'm thinking of getting 2 or 3 more. People have had issues with the dead cats falling off, but mine fit well. Rode said they were working on a fix, I may have picked up one of the new ones, Rode HQ is about 20min drive from my house. No sponsorship deal as yet, but I've been using Rode mics for 10 years and these babies should complement my NTG-3 well. I do prefer the sound and the XLR receivers on the Sennheiser XSW system, but the 4 things that swayed me to the wireless go were: 8 unit operation vs 5, 3 gain settings vs 1, optional lav vs lav, and $250 vs $600.
