jhnkng Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Sounds like lots of people really want an updated Pocket Camera with LP-E6 batteries and 60p... Actually, somewhere on the internet there's a guy who showed that you can use a servo tester for RC planes to make your own controller for the BMMCC (like this). You get 4 channels of analog PWM controls with the expansion port, and if you attach a servo tester to each channel you'll have direct control over each of those settings. Add a LANC pistol grip and you're almost there with what you have in mind. In fact, you can take the composite video out and send that signal to a little LCD that takes composite, and you can do it all with just the expansion port (Composite out, 4 x PWM channels, and LANC). Find a mechanical engineer friend who has a 3D printer and away you go! Though having shot the BMMCC for a month now I don't know that I really, really needed anything like that (definitely a "nice to have" rather than a "need to have"). Though I built my micro camera into a camcorder style that's bigger than the GH4 it replaced, because I found that I needed the weight balanced rather than the smallest possible package. It's hard to beat the original Pocket Camera for size if you really need to get under the radar. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
