[@Sneaky-Sneaky]

It’s clear you have an eye for composition and the gh4 did it’s part! Very nice…..

[@IndieFilmArmy]

Thanks a lot, Sneaky! I think that's the biggest thing. I just want people to realize that if they beautifully craft their compositions, the GH4 is a monster!

[@Sneaky-Sneaky]

@@IndieFilmArmy Yes no doubt! I’ve seen,as I’m sure you have, really nice shots made with all kinds of cameras including ones that were very inexpensive….it all comes back to the Vision….Cheers!

[@ohigetjokes]

This actually highlights something important - that the best cameras for you might be a bit older. I'd love a roundup of older, amazing-even-today cameras!

[@IndieFilmArmy]

Absolutely! This camera was and still is a gamer changer!! That's a great video topic

[@oniscover5878]

Hey, you use it like a real filmmaker. Amazing work!

[@IndieFilmArmy]

Thanks, Oniscover5878! Appreciate you 🙏🏾

[@xeximaxi]

and honestly it still good enough for indie full featured movies in my opinion

[@robertwlivings2362]

We shot ‘weekend healer’ using 4 of these bad boys.

[@xeximaxi]

@@robertwlivings2362 thats great

[@xeximaxi]

@@robertwlivings2362 THATS good. how you synced between shots on many gh4 cameras ?

[@lemourafilms]

We shot a full film in this camera....such a beast. With metabooster and fast lenses you can even compensate for the low light.

[@atreidesN]

Did you upgrade since using it? If so, what did you move onto? GH5?

[@lemourafilms]

@@atreidesN we are using the GH5, such a GREAT camera. Go for it.

[@shueibdahir]

No need for a speedbooster. Get yourself the 7artisans T1.05 lenses or the voigtlander f0.95 ones.

[@lemourafilms]

@@shueibdahir True!

[@atreidesN]

@@shueibdahir what would be their equivalent of the Sigma art 18-35mm?

[@bramzwingli]

Ive shot something like eight features with a trio of these. They are beasts.

[@IndieFilmArmy]

Couldn't agree more, man I'd still have mine if it weren't stolen. What a powerful little workhorse!

[@allenrm120]

Thank you Allan for your wonderful channel. You have an incredible gift for explaining, mentoring, and showing kindness toward filmmakers. I am an actor (IMDb Randy Legend) and am beginning my journey behind the camera. That camera is a GH-4, so I am excited to see your take. I find your videos to be very detailed, yet accessible to beginning filmmakers and advanced indy filmmakers as well. I am looking forward to learning more from you. Again, Thanks. Be well.

[@Dionne_Sheree]

Beautiful cinematography! I miss my GH5 and may get another or cop a GH4 or GH3! Great overview! 🎉

[@IndieFilmArmy]

Thank you! 🙏🏾

[@thejanuarycountryfilms]

I actually have this camera. I was just looking at different lenses for it recently. Salute to you and D4Darius for what yall are doing with inspiring myself and many others who are walking in this path of filmmaking

[@IndieFilmArmy]

I'm honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as D4darious brotha, haha. Much appreciated, man. Yeah, man, even though it's like 10 years old, it still got it!

[@shueibdahir]

@@IndieFilmArmy try getting a speedbooster with sigma 17-50mm. The lens is incredibly sharp at all focal lengths with good contrast

[@IndieFilmArmy]

@shueibdahir Great suggestion, man. Speed boosters offer so many benefits that improve the overall capabilities of a mircro 43rds camera system

[@jeevus74]

Glad I kept my GH4

[@amazing-robert-g]

Wow, I've done my second film with this camera. But I always thought I had to get something new. Thanks to you, it will be one last time the GH4 for a triology!

[@B91168]

Use this as a C cam all the time. Set it up on a tripod with a good lens, it can get some great footage that cuts nicely with modern cameras. Love the gh4!

[@ryanhamstra49]

Love my GH4’s. Perfect as my wife angles for weddings adapted to a sigma 30mm ex dc1.4. Only complaint is the auto focus and stabilization

[@ThiCityProductions]

You know I almost prefer the lack of HDR this sensor offers and with a speed booster you almost have yourself like a late 90’s early 2000’s vintage look. Love the shadows! Embrace the darkness 🥰

[@jsameshima]

How is it for capturing sport like soccer or football?

[@vinciandres]

Gran video :) Muy buen trabajo, todavìa la tengo y la voy a volver mi cámara de cargar a diario. Es pequeña y poderosa.

[@IndieFilmArmy]

It still holds up pretty well today! I'm about to release my miniseries on the channel one I got 10k subs and I don't have to worry about video quality issues on how it'll be received to my audience

[@vinciandres]

@@IndieFilmArmy link to that channel?

[@ReelGoldstar]

Wow, inspiring video, truly some of the best footage I've seen with GH4 - A question though - Was the video you're talking in also shot on GH4 - while it is unbelievably sharp for a almost 10 year old camera - Tony

[@IndieFilmArmy]

Greatly appreciate it, Tony! I shot the talking with the GH5. My GH4 was stolen a while back, so I used the theft as an excuse for an upgrade. Hope this helps

[@ReelGoldstar]

@@IndieFilmArmy Wow - People don't hesitate to steal - but, seriously cool content ! Gotta say, appreciate people bringing light to the GH4 - it's highly underrated, except in the right hands -

[@daytad]

I hope to talk about the GH4 on ny channel soon. I shot almost all my videos on my channel with this handy beast. It just never dies... Mine is a little busted from use (the sealing is wearing out, the micro hdmi isn't working again, the touchscreen too), but it still works. It's my main camera even in 2023. I use my smartphone camera as a secondary camera.

[@IndieFilmArmy]

TRUE Such a great tool! @@daytad

[@vmcauley]

That is stunning buddy - was it filmed internally? No matter - I have two of them and will be adding a third for a podcast studio I am setting up.......... I have a gh6 - but there is something special about the GH4........

[@moonsunaudio2nd396]

Lens bạn sử dụng cho khung hình đầu video là bao nhiêu ? Vui lòng cho tôi biết cảm ơn

[@Atlasman]

Do you use Cinelike-D profile or neutral with custom settings?

[@IndieFilmArmy]

I used Cinelike-V for those clips in this video

[@PVMMAC]

100% love the video !!

[@IndieFilmArmy]

Nice glad you enjoyed it! Any cameras getting your attention so far this year?

[@ASofterSide]

I would love this for my daily vlogging but I heard the autofocus is not very good and I need my videos to be in focus and not have a lot of blurry moments. Any of these same issues?

[@SMGJohn]

Studio Sumizoon did a bunch of GH4 videos, there were also another Japanese KZbinr in Yokohama who made astonishing videos with the GH4 in the area, just cinematic city shots. I must say probably was at that point I realised the gear really has nothing to do with it, its all about who is using the gear, the GH2 was already plenty capable in the day and the GH4 really pushed the limits.

[@unbroken1010]

The ribbon defect was a big problem. I would skip it. All these camera manufacturers seem to have bad quality control at this period. Hopefully my gh2 holds up. Martin Scorsese 's favorite look years later

[@testowykana1763]

Could you say a bit more about it? First time I hear about it, saw a cheap gh4 and though I could buy it

[@catattackcat8754]

As opposed to the GH6, the GH4 has a low pass filter and has 0 digital details processing (no smoothed out details like hair and wires), it has noise reduction even when sharpness is at -5 but this is not the same than detail filtering. So the fine details are very differents between the two cameras, the GH4 is very very sharp without looking unatural. I much prefer the fine details of the GH4. Sadly the GH6 has IBIS, slightly better AF, more resolution and frame rate options, also better colors. I would love to have a GH4 with IBIS and the same colors as the GH6.

[@xeximaxi]

i love it too.

[@Puf254]

Where can I purchase

[@IndieFilmArmy]

Should be a link in the description

[@RiverHeights]

I'm new to the camera market. Someone said I should get this camera. When I heard how old it was, I wasn't so sure...Now I think I am

[@IndieFilmArmy]

Great to hear it! Just be sure to keep in mind what its limitations are and you should be able to work around them

[@untokyo]

The limitations are, you can't use it when it's dark 😝

[@RiverHeights]

@@untokyo Oof, that's a bit of a ref flag. I do want to do a lot of night footage too!

[@untokyo]

@@RiverHeights then I would go minimum with a GH5. For low light footage I would always choose Sony alpha

[@Dr.FordACG]

i have used most of the sony and lumix mirrorless cameras. To be honest lumix cameras especially the GH and S1H series are truly for film makers/video makers, Sony A6xxx 7x series are for people who don't understand specs.

[@bigrobotnewstoday1436]

In some ways the GH4 is better then the newer cameras because it does not have IBIS. And the reason for that is because there are any hard bumps or running fast with the camera the IBIS can shake even when the IBIS is turned off. The GH5S also does not have IBIS. The TV show Top Gear bought some GH5 cameras and they had them on snowmobiles and the IBIS was turned off and the IBIS was shaking. They went back to the GH4. I know this is extreme use but just something to think about.

[@IndieFilmArmy]

Oh wow, now that's a hot take. The only thing I wish the GH4 had was 4k slow motion, which would have helped me a ton in post with my feature. I had to upscale all of my HD slow motion footage to to 4k

[@bigrobotnewstoday1436]

@@IndieFilmArmy Other small cameras without IBIS that I know of are the Fuji X-T2 and I think the X-T3 and the Sony A7S first model. I heard even if the IBIS turned off and a actor is walking around that sometimes can shake the IBIS. Some companies use springs for IBIS and others use magnets.

[@AlexanderValdesM]

I stille use my gh4!!!!

[@code-mind]

i have one has 9000 shot like brand new and dont use it, need to sell it. :)
