What would you say if I said a square looks just like a circle? I was just saying the roll off is completely different, and that is fact not opinion.

@Brian202020

Tsk tsk easy with that forked tongue of yours. Everyone has an opinion, and i am entitled to mine

Here in Singapore, the queue is as long as the one at a free food joint. I was told to wait 3 to 4 months!!! I 'm still torn between a 2.5k and a Pocket. I do recognise the merits of each. For the Pocket, I already have the Ninja and could use it as a sunk investment to get loads of Pro Res footage on cheap disks, but I lose out on 2.5k Raw and a licensed copy of Resolve and Ultrascope. Also I cant do RAW for long periods with a Pocket (unless someone knows a workaround for the storage). For BMCC, I'd hv to work out v mounts and SSDs, which will cost so much more. But, I get to shoot RAW on SSD.

G'day,

I spoke with my supplier on Friday and they expect the first of my two orders should be ready to ship by the end of next week, the second could be a month or more away, they could not be sure.

saw the pocket cam at BMD day in NYC. It has a bit of weight to it, the active MFT mount looks robust (moreso yhan on the GH2) and securely attached the the metal body (strong lens mount), as do the 2 tripod mounting holes. I didn't see any signs if moire, and at 1600 iso noise was hard to spot except in extreme undercexposure. They said there are a lot of pre orders to fill, but, in s few weeks it should be available off the shelf.

The focus peaking works great, is fixed as waveform green. They had a Pana 100-300 on a demo camera. The AF worked if the len's focus was slightly off. If really off it couldn't get it in focus.

The people on the floor didn't have answers to a lot of questions. But when I asked to record a sample to an SD card I brought, plug in my Zoe DVXL lanc controller or my C mount lens w/ MFT adspter they knew the answer was... NO!

They also screened a video shot at NAB of Grant Petty saying a lossless AND visually lossless (lossy) cinemaDNG codec would be integrated into the firmware. Afterwards it may be applied to the CC & PC. Not really anything concrete, but, I thought it was good to hear from GP himself, his ideas.

It looks like woodencamera is the first to get this camera. They said it's a retail unit. So perhaps we will get it next week?

I have not, but they seem inventive and build quality seems good. Check out the proper topic for it: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/1323/edelkrone-pocket-rig#Item_73

Mind there are copies around and you can always use a riser, mount the cam up-side-down or something like that (mod the original) should you have problems like the ones reported by QuickHitRecord.

I´ve seen bad reports about their handles though, so you might want to stay away from them unless they have updated them. (you are well of with cheap chinese ones, in case you want it)

I wonder how it would fair on one of these goodluckbuy gimbals

The other big thing is the Thunderbolt to UltraScope. That alone has clarified shooting basic shots indoor, by connecting a MacBook and using the UltraScope software to monitor. Video monitor, audio meters, waveform meters. We are discussing adding a MacBook Air to all our BMCC "interview" kits now. Many of our shooters are not highly skill DP's, to say the least. Consistency has been an endless challange every day.

We've started creating jpegs of the different metering windows, with quick start instructions. "Adjust this until this meter looks about like that." "Then adjust that until that meter looks about like that." "Adjust external mic pre audio levels until that meter looks about like that." "Frame/zoom until person is framed about like that pic."

In thirty minutes we had our runner setting up and shooting very usable interview footage. Wow. I can't tell you how much bad interview footage we get in, and how much time we spend fixing what we can. These shooting packages will be a bargain to our overall production costs.

@RRRR Their rigs actually look interesting. More so their Modula series. Have you dealt with this company before? If so, how is the build quality, customer service, delivery times, etc? Seems they are based out of Turkey. If anyone else has used their rigs would be interested in hearing feedback.

I saw an unboxing of this camera on instagram. I believe it's somewhere in Asia. Arggggggggg

I think a big issue for the pocket cam is stabilization. Hopefully people will develop some really clever ultra-lightweight stabilization rigs. IMHO, extra gear kinda prevents it from being a true pocket cam.

That being said, I rarely go handheld with the BMCC either, and only if I'm rocking something <= 25mm.

@vicharris Thanks for replying.. Serious I'm about to make the jump than, yeah I'm in the states.. I live in CT so that's about 30 mins away from Manhattan. Gonna give them a call right now.. got a couple extra things to sell, today will be a busy day, but beautiful day :)..
