OliKMIA Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi, with the GH5 coming I'm looking into buying an external recorder. After some research there's only a few options for 4k60 and they are very pricey (around $2k for the Shogun Inferno, Q7+). The BlackMagic Video assist seems nice but doesn't do 4k60. Also, Ideally I'd like to keep it small (5" instead of 7"). Beyond that, what is your experience with the various brand (Atomos, BlackMagic, Convergent, etc.) ? Any Pro and Cons ? Thanks in advance for your support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Sadly there are very few 4K recorder options which are 5" at any frame rate! Video Devices PIX-E5 being one rare expection, but it is not 60p Kisaha and OliKMIA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 You will pay as much a recorder that does 4k 60P Than a GH5 cost sad to say. Convergent7 is the only one I know that I would recommend. It is and has been a top pro item for years now. They do a lot of updates on their stuff which helps a lot. Not that Atomos does not. Convergent7 has a serious proven track record behind it. But it is on the thick side for sure, and 7" Looks pretty stupid on a BMPCC I can tell you.
