It doesn’t make sense that the sdi hasn’t have 4k out and although the HDMI does, it is unable to put a clam on it. Besides the whole shame of prores intern.

@@framejunky I don’t use SDI so it’s not a big deal for me. I use the Atem Mini Extreme ISO for live events so I’m limited to 1080p anyways. I can see how larger productions might need 4k though.

Were you able to get it to film at 60fps? I have a similar setup and the capture card is deinterlacing the footage to 30fps and i havent found a workaround yet.

I got the Panasonic HC-X20 a while ago. It's a bit like the HC-X2. I actually wanted to get the X2, but it's too expensive for my stuff. I've already made a few videos with the camera. But I use a USB3 adapter for the menu videos. Take a look at that. It works really well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ_TnJSmeNWDhsk

I know you mean well. In fact, there are hardly any explanations of this camera and its functions online. But then you don't know most of the functions either. How much time is lost in your video because you have to think about what is what, then you realize that you never use this or that function anyway. And the viewer is just as smart as before. The difference between gross and net in this video is really striking. A little more preparation would have been really nice for the viewers. So we basically have to do the preparation with you, and that takes time. The knowledge gained, at least for me, was extremely poor. What a pity.

Oh man... I hate these greenhorn-shit amateur videos. The guy doesn't know shit about the camcorder he is trying to demonstrate. He didn't think this shit through. He's trying to film the video "on-the-fly," and it did NOT WORK... AT ALL!!! I tried skimming through to see if things would improve. They only got worse. After the 20th time of him flipping the camcorder all over the place I gave up. I think the fucked up comments about how great this video is are hilarious because this jack-don't-know-shit... Write a script, make a cheat-sheet, plot and plan your delivery, and above all, now what the hell you're talking about at least a little bit. Know your product, know what to say, when to say it and how. This is one fucked-up video with no sense of direction, no plot and is as useless as the time he wasted trying to demonstrate. Not coming back and don't give a shit what you think of my comments... rant all you want, I don't care because I won't see your responses to my comment. BYE!!!

Just click the shutter button to put it into auto, then click the gain button to put it into auto, then click the iris button to put it into manual. You can control the iris with the smallest ring. You really should follow the 180 degree rule with your shutter though so I personally always set the shutter manually to double my frame rate.

It's weird how Zoom has so many different sample rates and bit depth on their products. The R4 appeals to me for 48kHz and 32 bit floating point. No concerns about clipping with the latter

@GeorgeNiksch 9 ай бұрын

Its really about technology. The H6 is old tech at this point. I will never buy another audio recorder that doesn't do 32 bit float just because the tech exists now. I use a Zoom F3 and a Zoom F6 these days for recording, but the H6 still comes in handy to record room tone for band performances using the built in stereo mic.

@_jellone 23 күн бұрын

Firewire sadly has a different kind of data transfer, it cant be converted as firewire afaik sends out dv datasets and not video footage. One technically possible way to go tapeless via firewire without getting the hvr/fs5 recorders would be to set up raspberry pi's with a pci connected firewire port. Then you'd need to write software to read it out to then safe it on the device. This would set you back 150$ and a couple months of designing this thing as it does not exist lol This phone method is, imo, the cheapest and most convenient way to go tapeless. Have tried it and it works like a charm on most dv-cams

You should have a cable for the AV port that goes to rca. It’s like a headphone jack to the white and yellow rca connections. If you don’t have the cable then search for one on Amazon.

A condenser mic like the B2 is not ideal for wind noise. You might be ok if you get a wind muff for it, but ideally you would use a dynamic mic like the Shure SM57 with the A81 windscreen on it. I have since purchased two of these mics and windscreens and they work great outdoors. They're also relatively cheap mics.

@GeorgeNiksch 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. It is a better capture if you are using a FireWire cable from a mini DV tape. But Hi-8 (what I was using) can only be captured or played via RCA. Hi-8 is a lower quality than mini DV. But at the end of the day, if you are going for the low quality aesthetic then who cares? I have clips I filmed in 4k and skaters have screen captured them so many times that it looks worse than Hi-8. I really don’t think quality matters in the skateboarding community unless you are filming for a huge sponsor with like Ty Evans or something.

The S1 and S5 are the same now. I never have issues with the autofocus on either of them as long as I am using Panasonic lenses. I also find the G9 and GH5s to be about the same as the S1 and S5 when using Panasonic lenses. The GH5s is probably the slowest, but I rarely have issues with it. I don’t shoot sports. I mostly do weddings and corporate events.
