Beginner drones for kids, help me select one
Hmmm, I am gonna have to consider this one, thanks. I like the price!! It weight looks to be small enough so that I don't have to register it with FAA. I wish it had propeller guards though like these two that I am looking at https://www.amaz…

Fujifilm X-T2, limited 4K camera
This camera just became my new favorite hybrid camera. I recently took one with the 56mm f1.2, 90mm f2, 10-24mm f4, and 16-55mm f2.8 a flash on an assignment to Hawaii and I am just blown away by the sharpness of those lenses. Wow amazing! 4k and 1…

Wow how come no one ever thought about this lol. Something so small but makes a huge difference. This just made me halt the gimbal purchase I was planning.

GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate
@Eno “Panasonic specifically didn't use phase detect pixels on the sensor cause they degrade the image quality.” Ture! Then Panasonic needs to go back to its engineers because image quality in 4k 24p coming from an A6500, especially the XT-2 …

@Imackreath, I don't rely on auto focus most of the time but when I do, I want it work. I have used the auto focus on canon and sony cameras on numerous occasions on paid jobs and it worked flawlessly. Actually each time I have a paid job, I tu…

Panasonic them self say it will make a great vlogging camera "...this camera should never be in the hands of a simple vlogger..." Actually it should because serious vloggers who have a good following on youTube turn to use good cameras: …

GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate
@Eno, this camera does not compete with Arri, RED, BMC. It's competitors ie A6500, XT2, some of Canon DSLRs all have way better AF. Another selling point of the GH5 is that it's a good vlogging camera. But if the AF sucks, then what good o…

@Faudel, that's exactly what I said too when I read that they were bringing it to X mount. I hope they pull out all the stops for such a camera.

GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate
For me I love all the new add-ons for the GH5, but the only thing that's holding me back is the iso performance. If it has usable iso up to 6400 like how Nick video claims, I will definitely buy 2. Come wedding season, they will pay their self …

@tylerknight, yes do. I will assume it already does but with a 6k anamorphic coming in the summer firmware upgrade, I would think it will an added feature.

@tylerknight, did they implemented the anamorphic desqueeze on the GH5?

Panasonic G80 / G85 / G8 4K 5-axis stab magnesium monster
@Vitaliy_Kiselev, so with that, it will be even more embarrassing and fail if the GH5 gets released without the HEVC encoder then? What codec do you think they will implement their 422 10bit with?

If the price of an advanced version is more than $1999.99 all I am gonna tell Panasonic is Bye Felisha! Based on the price of the EM1 mark II, those manufacturers are gonna be seeing more red in sales.

Woldlan SK01 and SK02 gimbals
3 thing I did like to know about this gimbal: Does the gimbal have a USB port to configure/update the PID? Does the SK01(single hand) model have an inverted mode? Does the SK02 model come with the attachment to do single hand?

Gimbal Reviews or Personal Experience?
I currently have the Beholder DS1 and it's probably my favorite tool for my kind of shooting. It works great for me but I have put in my time to learn and adjust it to my liking. I have read people saying they don't like it, but it's …

Sony's strategy is to put all it's competitors out of business lol. Sorry Panasonic, Olympus, fuji. I had the a6300 on a recent vacation to Europe, and it was a joy to use. My only problems were the overheating and non touch screen. Wi…

According to these videos you don't need worry about balancing? Can completely run without balancing and they claim a 2 hour run time without balancing. Very interesting... http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTczNDAzMjA0MA==.html?beta& http://…

Canon XC15
Wow Canon aka Cannot, can't do anything right. Add DPAF at least. Sony can do constant 2.8 lens on the RX why can't canon. Time to start looking into FS5 just to tell Canon F U too.

My first time using a canon camera for an extended period of time was the XC10 for a wedding shoot and I was pleasantly surprised. If they fix the aperture to something constant, more ND options, fix that poor implementation of an EVF on the XC10 an…
