Stefan Antonescu Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Andrew, any news on the Pocket 4K review ? I've been checking EOSHD twice a day for the past month. I can't wait to read your take on this little monster. RWR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novim Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 A question (if it could be asked in this thread): Does the P4K absolutely need Resolve 15, or earlier Resolve 12.5 could grade a bit (in a very basic way) its shots and then export / edit all in FCPX for example? I have an old Mac Mini, good for Resolve 12.5, but weak for version 15. My P4K should come soon. PS: In searching the net about the option to make a Linux station with Resolve 15, this exchange between and Unknown and an Anonymous enlightened me not to go in that direction: ?

Anaconda_ Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Haha love it! It depends how you shoot. If you're filming in ProRes, any software will do the job, but in my limited experience with RAW, you need Resolve to playback and grade. I'm not sure if 12.5 will be compatible with the RAW files out the new camera, but there are plenty around you could download and test out for yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Jimothy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 22 minutes ago, thephoenix said: metabones seems a bit ahead when wide open I was reading about this at another forum. Considering how the Viltrox typically is just as sharp as the Metabones on other M43 cameras, the running theory there is that it’s something to do with the coating on the speed boosters and Blackmagic’s sensor in the Pocket 4K. Still, I think either would work well enough overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 What do you people think (or know) about BMP4K and the Ronin S? What other speedbooster people recommend? I have the Dec Regain on order, but I do not like that you always have to use its handle, so I would probably buy another one, just in case.

You can control the aperture directly from the plug in receiver so you only need the handle if you want to do remote focus. As the other speedboosters don't allow any sort of focus control on the P4K anyway it would be much of a muchness aside from the extra bulk of the plug in receiver.

thephoenix Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 the ronin s is kinda heavy, the combo might be heavy then for the dec regain you can take the antena off you loose the focus control but it still works as a speedbooster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graphicnatured Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I love my Micro too, but I don't love needing to also use a hdmi monitor. Especially when traveling. I've always loved the images out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webrunner5 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 He used Neon 20 in the subtle mood pac from Tropic Color. One of the main reasons it looks good. They have some nice Luts. Yeah great footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
