Re: 6D mark II video problems

A Canon EOS-90D. You’d have to compromise on your full-frame sensor. The APS-C sensor on a 90D is very close to Super35. At least you would have a camera designed for video.

It’s not only sensor...

Re: Battery storage and management?

It’s likely that your most expensive batts are the lithiums in the drones.

Many drone batteries have built in management that will discharge them to storage levels after a few days. That includes...

Re: Replacing C100 Mark I

I have much EF mount glass as well; it’s taken me a while to get to the lenses that work for me, and I’m reluctant to part with them.

Most EF-mount have been discussed here. The C200 would be a...

How important is sticking with Canon EF mount?
Canon C300 Mk2 (or 3).
Canon C70.

Re: Replacing C100 Mark I

I’m seeing the Blackmagic BMPCC 6k Pro as a possible successor to my C100 Mk1 DPAF.

It does not have In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS). I think this may be what you’re referring to as a gimbal?...

Re: How much light for Church stage/alter?

Positioning new lights “a little above the altar” is concerning.

Priests/presenters will be looking out at a congregation they are used to seeing, and *will* complain: “Those new lights are in my...

Re: Should I try to talk this director into doing this differently?

Re: Should I try to talk this director into doing this differently?

Yes. Every serious mobile device shooter should learn how to lock exposure & focus.

1) pay the $15 USD and get FilmicPro. So worth it. Easy manual controls.
2) see #1.
3) can’t or don’t want to...

Re: Canon 100c Footage is Grainy

What were your exposure settings, specifically your gain/iso setting? Too high a gain is the usual reason for grain or noise in an image. The usual solution is to adjust aperture and remove any ND...

Re: Sync problem? video clip made me scratch head

Right. Singers in remote production need two devices... phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, cd on a stereo, ipod... choose 2! Two phones works.

One device for playback, one for recording.

Firewire was the best method for this. Most (all?) cameras did not support USB for video file transfer. I’d recommend you go back to FW. What wasn’t working?
