Thinking about getting the whole setup with a gimbal, side battery grip, follow focus, T5-mount etc... Waiting for BRAW as well and hope they can fix the red clipping issue as well. Moire and aliasing isn't a problem at all when using some diffusion. Long time lurker. Funny to share the same feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchtape Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Anyone with this camera have any of the issues posted on the bmd forum? - left edge of screen turning whiteish - issues with usb-c ssd connections https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=80576 Thinking of picking one up after seeing some of the films from this thing (looks great!) but don't want to get the first batch if they're having lots of problems. I'm not in the US so returning the camera to get it fixed is going to be a pain. I thought m43 was dead. Not yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used mine with samsung t5 for the entire weekend and a product shoot today and not one issue. I'm totally stoked on this camera. I'll be posting some shots this weekend once I can catch up with work. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurtlandPhoto Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I shot an interview last night with the Pocket 4K and GH5s in Film mode and HLG respectively. They match pretty well after only a few minutes in Premiere tweaking them. I'm excited to see the difference that Resolve will make. webrunner5 and AlexTrinder96 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Interesting DR test over at Cinema5D. graphicnatured and AlexTrinder96 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yeah they have had a whole new way of testing DR over there. They spent a ton of money for this new gizmo they use. So they have been testing new stuff, and retesting some of the older stuff to get fair results. All of the results seem to be lower, but truth be known they probably are more accurate. They have had this new machine about a year or more. It is sort of like DXO DR test. Yeah people bitch about it, but low or high they do do the same exact test on every camera, so it is consistent like it or not, probably just like the outcomes on Cinema5D. You are Never going to make everyone happy. Trouble is there is 50 ways to state DR results and 50 different tests. Tom Antos did a test years ago and I like the cheap way he did it. Makes more sense to me than all this fancy crap. Hell it is just a damn chart you look art LoL. I will try to find the video. Found it. He pretty much uses a Waveform monitor and counts the stops you can see. There is another way he di9d it also, maybe in this video of shooting every stop or something. Andway cheaper than some 100K machine to test it. https://tomantosfilms.com/14305/camera-shootout-2016/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrothersthre3 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 They look the same in MurtlandPhoto's examples. I think in more extreme conditions the BMPC4k would pull ahead. But obviously in a more normal settings they can look almost indistinguishable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotchtape Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The problem is not with the mics on the camera but the XLR and 3.5mm input, the on camera mics seem to work fine. Were you using an external mic through the 3.5mm or XLR or just testing the on camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaconda_ Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I've not had any issues like that, and have used both 3.5mm and XLR extensively. A while back I did have an issue using phantom power, but that's kind of healed its self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphicnatured Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I think my 3.5mm cable is at work, so I'll check when I have the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphicnatured Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Found one. Had to reduce input to 27% on Pocket4k to match MixPre3 so clearly no issue here. IMG_4593.TRIM.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
