Any info on paid HFR firmware for Sony FS5?

[EthanAlexander]

If you haven't heard, Sony released firmware V4 for the FS5 today:

1.     Support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) by shooting in Hybrid Log-Gamma** (HLG) standard
2.     Support for continuous 120fps High Frame Rate (HFR) recording in 1080p with CBKZ-FS5HFR (sold separately)
3.     Option to change the minimum ISO sensitivity number to ISO 2000 from ISO 3200 when recording S-Log2/S-Log3

 

I've searched for the CBKZ-FS5HFR upgrade, but all I could find was that it's $500 for 50mbps 120p?? That's insanity. I'm hoping this is wrong and someone has better info than what I found.

 

If interested, here's a link to

Yeah its a $500 paid upgrade for continuous 120P mode that is standard on cheaper A7S2 and A6x00

Yep, you have to pay an expensive fee for it, even though the little A6500 has it. 

Unless you needed to shoot long sequences at 120 frames at a low bitrate (like a dance routine) - at that price- this update is a waste of money.

It probably is a better idea to buy a used a6300 for similar money, and have a B(C, D, E) cam, as well a small body for taking -better than an iPhone - pictures with.

this upgrading policy of Sony is a bit annoying, why charge a software update so much money? 99$ would be just fine; free, even better.
