Thanks for the reports. Unfortunately I can't help with your cable question. What lenses are you using the Nucleus with?

Olympus most expensive and last m43 camera comes in January
I don't think that Olympus are saying it can be used in video mode. Purely for still photography.is my guess.

Built in espresso maker? Its certainly big enough to have one. Who is the target market for this at the proposed price?

Stop shooting LOG Footage
@radikalfilm I hear that! You're both right about the bigger point for sure of unnecessary log footage, it can indeed damage the image in a low contrast/ dynamic range environment when you're working with low bit rate & depth footage!…

Stop shooting LOG Footage
Hmm, he's a little bit loose with the lingo ie. Confusing bit rate with bit depth. Argument that shooting log makes your footage noiser isn't valid, unless you underexpose the image and bring it up the shadows. If you expose to the same st…

Black Friday in 2018. Yes, again.
@Vitaliy_Kiselev Thanks for the reply. sRGB only , I don't think I'll be needing anything HDR for work , for now at least! 27 inch seems good but maybe something a bit bigger if its higher than 1080p. 4K would be great but non essential…

Has anyone spotted any decent deals on higher end "consumer" monitors that they can recommend for colour grading?

What type of camera are you using? If it is a smaller dlsr or mirrorless camera, use a cage you can fix tripod plate to vertical side instead of under side. If its a larger camera, something like this. http://www.arri.com/news/news/arris-vertical-f…

Recording 10-bit with the GH5S: MP4 or Quicktime?
One thing to note, free version of DaVinci Resolve 14 does not handle either natively, it seems that it lacks support for 10 bit files bassed on h264. I use transcode them to 10-bit MXFs before importing. Not sure if free version of Davinci 15 supp…

The Definitive Hackintosh topic
There are Dell XPS and Lenovo yoga models that have 2xTB3 ports that might be worth looking into on the hackintosh forums. I'm waiting on a z370 or z390 mini ITX with 2 TB3 ports or a TB header for an add in card, if it ever gets made ...

GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate
Hopefully some technical minded person will be able to answer this. Is it possible for AF to be introduced to variable frame rate mode in a future firmware? Is the problem that the AF too specifically tied to the frame rate readout and would requi…

Need advices about lenses
Go for consistency, get a set from the same manufacturer and range if you can. You will thank yourself in the edit and grade when you have minimal colour matching between setups in the same scene.

Not sure that this is at all useful on set, a solution for a problem that doesn't exist, would be much more useful for production office though.

Panasonic GH5 camera, actual users feedback
Hey Guys Really useful tip on autofocus on GH5 : turn on Synchro Scan setting for fine adjustments of shutter angle and set to 179 degrees. The theory seems to be that a faster shutter than 180 degrees appears to allow an extra focus cycle per fram…

E-Image Tripod with GH05 Head with counter balance, $179
I got one for £200 a while back, fantastic set of sticks, really solid and the one lock per leg mechanism makes life so much easier, and a decent head into the price. Any Manfrotto video tripods in this price range are flimsy pieces of sh*t, no com…

Panasonic GH5S GH5 S, 4K Video Edition
@endotoxic Lack of detail is due to noise reduction. By looks of it, noise reduction has temporal aspect to it that allows for less noise vs previous in camera NR , but as the expense of details. Its the same technique that A7s series use. If you…
