I Turned Panasonic G9 into a Cinematic Camera BEAST

[@GoTravelPlanet]

G9 rocks, I thought about upgrading to the GH6 but decided to stay put, the G9 is an engineer marvel in my opinion. Great video, I need a simpler rig, but this was very informative, thanks

[@MatthewDangyou]

Yeah! I have been slowly upgrading from this rig as well. With things like v mount batteries which is a huge game changer!

[@cameronkrause4712]

yes, the G9 is an engineering marvel. I just bought one in 2022 and it doesn't feel dated. I am actually shocked at what can be done with this camera.

[@CoffrinsOldWestGallery]

Great advice, nicely explained in a good production. I've had my G9 for some time, shooting stills. Your advice provides a great foundation to make purchase decisions. Thank you.

[@MatthewDangyou]

Hey I am glad I can help! I did do an updated video and then I also made my GH6 rig video which has a lot of similar but more up to date gear as well that I recommend usinh

[@phildaigneau7304]

Banana Boat, I’m shocked on what your doing as I didn’t know how you’ve progressed in your knowledge very proud of you

[@techtrx]

I made the same thing. Lots of people keeps on telling me to upgrade cuz nobody cares about mft. But the video capabilities on the G9 is amazing. I combo it with ninja v as well. Im now getting into shooting 4:3 So that i can crop it after editing to 9:16 or 16:9 Good job on the video

[@MatthewDangyou]

I know micro 4/3 cameras are insane! I dont know if you saw it yet but the new black magic assist camera allows a couple of the Lumix Micro 4/3 Cameras to shoot 12 bit 4k BRAW codec externally

[@sentineloffreedomforever1381]

I specifically searched for micro 4 thirds videos for shooting in micro four thirds video your presentation was super super great and I'm super super happy that you did it it helped me a super super bunch so a super super thank you to you Mr 🍌 boat

[@MatthewDangyou]

Awesome! Glad it was helpful

But i think thats only internally. Cant do it on the ninja v

I shoot a lot of small social media post in 4:3 just because of the fact it can be in "6K" and is an amazing camera. Trying to get my hands on the GH6 in the near future hopefully.

[@EXORDIUM-3D]

Very informative videos you have here. Man, you deserve more subscribers.

[@MatthewDangyou]

Haha thanks! I am trying really hard to make more and more content that can help people!

[@JustinMannMedia]

Thanks for making this video. I have a Ronin SC that I barely use. I enjoy the look but loath adjusting it and worrying about batteries. I’ve always been interested in rigs as I prefer to handhold but just never pulled the trigger. With ibis, especially from the g9, you could potentially have the best of both worlds having a rig and smooth shots.

[@TonySelyem]

Banana Boat. Thank you very much for sharing this with us. I too have a G9 and have made similar investments. I don't do client shoots so I don't have the benefit of all your experience. Thanks again!

[@MatthewDangyou]

That is awesome and for sure one day you’ll get there!

[@TripleU-E]

interesting to see, what is possible with the G9, would be nice to see this kit in action - banana boat 😉

[@MatthewDangyou]

Got a couple things in the works;)

[@SteveWB]

I bought the small rig for my G9 and well ...doesn't fit so well...lol so you probably made a good choice!

[@MatthewDangyou]

Yeah! I potentially might want to upgrade to the Gh6 or get a black magic camera one day in a far future. That is why I love that camera cage because I can use multiple different cameras on it!

[@janbrunner8798]

what a video! Would you say the camera has realistic whites? Im looking forward to making skiing movies, and I need a good camera with nice white balance and good light handling for it!

[@MatthewDangyou]

Yeah I would say so!

[@KutWrite]

Enjoyed it. Banana boat.

Banana Boat :D

[@MatthewDangyou]

Yeahhhh Banana Boatttt crewwww

[@mheadfilms]

Can I expect to film on the f9 with a cinema lens for a documentary and not have an issue getting distribution on a streaming platform

[@MatthewDangyou]

🤷🏼‍♂️ I don’t know I would be more concern on specs required for streaming platforms. Most require C4K like Netflix and the G9 can’t shoot that

[@neo.visuals]

Hey man, are you using the small rig matte box lite 3575 or the normal version 3196?

[@MatthewDangyou]

I am using the mini version which is the lite i believe

[@neo.visuals]

@@MatthewDangyou awesome, thanks man dig the setup

[@freezedtube]

Hi! What about camera power? Have you ever tried to power it with NP-F batteries using junkie or dummy? Thanks

[@MatthewDangyou]

Hey great question! I am planning on getting a V mount battery with a dummy battery for the Panasonic camera in the future. Just don’t have the money to drop $200 for all the equipment right now😂

[@freezedtube]

@@MatthewDangyou Ah no, I'm talking about more budget alternatives like NP-F + dummy. I know that it works with GH5, but there is no information if it works with G9.

[@MatthewDangyou]

Ah! Gotcha! Yeah I haven’t tried any np-f battery alternatives for my monitors, but I am using some Panasonic batteries to power my camera alternatives that are working just as good as the original camera battery if that answers your question?

[@MikeJaySingerandEntertainer]

Great video! Can the monitor enable the recording limit?

[@MatthewDangyou]

Unfortunately not, you might be able too with an external recording monitor but not this one I used in the video

[@smart45zm24]

Hey l would like to how to unlock the 6k feature in the g9

[@MatthewDangyou]

I did a video on it on my channel already!

[@TracerPavo]

Hello. Thank you for your video. I'm thinking about buying a camera for under $1400-$1500, and so far I didn't find anything better than G9. I need a camera, mostly for shooting movies with a comparatively good performance in low-light scenes. In 90% of cases, I will use it for movies, and short videos, and only in 10% of cases for photography. Could you please suggest to me should I take the G9 or if there's a better device? Thank you.

[@MatthewDangyou]

Hey! For photos, ibis, auto focus, and videos the G9 honestly rock! If you can get this camera with a couple different lenses that would be the best-case scenario. I would also consider though looking into a used GH5 mark 2 since that offer 4k 60fps 10 bit internally and anamorphic mode allowing you to shoot 4:3 format without needing to hack it. If you really want the G9 you can probably find one for $900, get a kit lens, Panasonic 25mm for about $150, if you want a cine lens like the Meike 25mm those are really nice at $400. Or you would be able to rig it out like crazy with a monitor, top handle, and all the other goods! I am super happy with it! The 4k 60 fps in 8 Bit in Cinelike D looks really amazing still and on client shoots I have had no issues using that. The only downfall is a 30-minute record limit in 4k 24fps and 10 minutes in 4k 60fps which I personally never had issues with before. If you can get a used Gh5 mark 2 for $1000 I would do that! But the G9 in my own opinion does have the best ibis, autofocus, and photos out of all the micro 4/3 cameras besides the GH6. Hoped that helped

[@TracerPavo]

​ @Matthew Dangyou Thank you so much. You've helped me a lot. I've been concentrated mostly on mobile filmmaking, and this field is completely new for me. Thanks once more for your reply, and the information about the lenses would help a lot. I'll think about GH5M2 as well. Have a nice day. (Subscribed)

[@MatthewDangyou]

@@TracerPavo Yeah! I personally am planning on getting another meike cine lens probably the 50mm to have something different because of how high quality class it is. But it is all in manual focus! I am working on a bunch of videos right now, but one in the queue is about my smaller camera rig I have been constructing and what is in my filmmaking backpack! Let me know what you end up deciding, and if you reach out and what to chat sometime to ask questions about the G9 DM on Instagram!

[@TracerPavo]

​@@MatthewDangyou Thank you so much. I'll keep in touch with you. You've helped me a lot.

[@jas.cinema]

@@MatthewDangyou how do you get jobs?

[@MatthewDangyou]

@@jas.cinema Great question, the answer is not super simple though... Word of mouth and doing work for free in the beginning definitely helps. Then trying to land a meeting with a client instead of selling them your services when you are cold calling/emailing/messaging them on social is better to talk to fellow humans. I always suggest having a conversation to show them you are serious, professional, and care about their business rather than simply saying "what your services are, here is my price, do you want to shoot a video" And being consistent with reaching back to people, talking with them consistently, trying to land the first meeting with them. Help solve a problem with them, then when you shoot with them try to keep the door open, be friendly with them, take them out to lunch to keep business going. Hope that helped a little haha sorry it was long!

[@jas.cinema]

@@MatthewDangyou how do you find them in the first place 🤣

[@MatthewDangyou]

Lots and lots of real search, LinkedIn, searching local business also major thing too is know what content videos you are good at making and focus on making those videos. Don’t be a jack of all trades saying you can do it all instead by the master of a few things and do those things really well
