So it's really pretty useless. Is so annoying when you realize they do it! Ah well Give us a heads up if any cheap monitor monitor pops up that does it properly and zooms into a non-scaled down 4K image for pixel to pixel zoom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I’d recommend recruiting a family member, friend or fellow hobbyist like many vloggers do. I would invest in LED panels to brighten up the workshop with soft, even lighting. I’d also be using several cameras to capture different angles. I would avoid using Auto anything on the Panasonic. Lumix G7 cameras can be found on eBay for just a few hundred dollars and DSLRVideoShooter’s a great place to learn about affordable lighting. If you want to get really fancy, angles can be adjusted remotely by putting the camera atop a brushless gimbal. Also, in all my years of shooting Panasonic, I’ve found tap to focus with the remote app to be quite reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do shoot with 2 cameras, and my second camera is a G7. I bought the G7 back in early 2016 for my honeymoon, it's what got me into M43. I purchased it specifically because I could shoot amazing stills and UHD video. My set up is as follows: GH5 is the A camera G7 is the B camera (hacked so i don't have the 30min record limit) RodeLink for my dialogue/explanations Azden SMX-30 for machine/room noises Saramonic sr-pax2 pre-amp to combine the RodeLink & SMX-30 signals as well provide enough clean gain so the gH5 is always set to -12 Besides a tripod, I've also got some cheap custom wall mounts I made so I could get shots where a tripod isn't feasible. Two of them are cheap articulated TV wall mounts, and the other is a wall mounted 4' light boom pole, that doesn't bat an eye at the G7 being mounted to it. Just today I purchased a Zoom F4 because B&H had them on sale for $420. I eventually want to get some testicle syncs as I hate manually syncing clips. I have two much light in the shop if you ask my wife, shes says it's like an ER. When everything is on, I'm dumping 86,400 Lumens out at 6500k.

The audio could suck with testicle syncs, depending in what kind of film industry you work. BTM_Pix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trek of Joy Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I bought the Lilliput A5 since my Sony's and Fuji's don't have a forward facing LCD. Only tinkered with it in test shots, but so far I like it. With the skinny Sony battery its not unwieldy on top of the camera. The bigger Sony batteries will run it all day. Found a seller on Ebay that had it ad $149 shipped obo. I offered $135 and they accepted, three days later it was in my hands. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lilliput-A5-5-1920x1200-8bit-4K-HDMI-DSLR-Camera-field-monitor-F970-LP-E6-Plate/263676993363?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Chris IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish the sun hood was a) better designed/engineered b) less expensive c) both of the above Besides that the monitor is a pure pleasure.

Grimor Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Someone have tested the de-squeeze with the liliput (2.35:1 aspect ratio) when Gh5 is outputing 4:3 signal? I found that there's a bug on my A7s monitor, showing glitch image with weird lines across the frame. If the signal from Gh5 is 16:9, then the de-squeeze works just fine.
