    That new Aputure wireless follow focus for Canon lenses would work pretty well for a low budget setup. If we get more options like that for other electronic lenses, that'd be a lot nicer than having to invest money in heavy, expensive FIZ motor setups.

    Anyone think the stabilization in that short film "Lifted" looks kind of bad? Is it just my eyes or is it wobbling unnaturally?

    The price would be great if the thing actually works but it's not a good sign when their own marketing video fails to impress.

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev I haven't tried to pull focus with the Panasonic WiFi app and GH4, I just assume it would hunt too much based on past experiences with the GH2 and GH3 touch focus. In my experience mechanical pulls with a manual lens (or AF lens set to manual) still tend to be more precise than AF algos unless you shoot Canon with support for USB remotes or use dual pixel AF. I'm not a fan of Canon's video image so it's not an option for me.

    It would be great to see Panasonic deliver the ability to focus on preset distance markers... just touch and go by tapping on a distance icon that you set and save in the app. I'd think this could be accomplished without any focus hunting during the move. Now that gimbals are becoming more affordable and commonplace it would make sense to add something like this. Unfortunately mfrs and marketing depts seem to have their own priorities when it comes to promoting "usability" in the feature list of a new camera.

    Yes but few companies are making it easy to control their electronic lenses wirelessly

    @Tron

    Presence of wireless follow focus in the time where almost every modern lens have good build in motor and aperture control seems odd.

    The problem I see with some of the shots in this film is that they seem to have gained very fluid camera movement at the expense of poor focus control. If DJI developed a compact follow focus servo and added a focus adjustment lever or rocker to the 2nd operator radio it would be an awesome package for nailing continuous takes.

    It seems most wireless FF systems to date have a combination of noise, weight or pricing issues that make them somewhat impractical for layered use with these types of gimbals. Perhaps DJI can change that by taking their control system one step further.

    I think to allow the top handle bars to be detacted for use on cranes, drones, ect ....

    Well, may be. But battery still must be not on this place. At least it must be detachable to place it properly.

    One thing I do not get.

    Why this guys placed battery in the place it is. As it shifts center of mass and also add good stress to the top motor.

    Wish I had the scratch right now, but they already drained my wallet with the P3. I love how easily the handles can be reconfigured on this unit, glad I waited before picking one up... this will be the one when I can afford to add it to the kit.
