Re: What's Your Second Cam To The LS300
 

The autofocus test shows what I was saying, you can't trust a GH4 or 5 on a gimbal if you run it in autofocus, you might get it right after a few tries but there are better camera's out there for this purpose. Personally I never would invest in a camera system that is dead, you need to use it with it's native lenses for best results but those lenses won't fit on any other camera and once you come to a point where you want to update or replace the camerabody you are stuck with a pair of expensive lenses.

I understand that. I'm getting a he'll of a deal for the body and 2 native lenses. Again this cam is just for the Gimbal nothing more than B-roll. If I was using it as a main cam I would then be mindful of investing into a dead system. Keep in mind Samsung has already belted out a good variety of glass for their bodies. This is not their first cam. It is their first beast of a cam. They were one of the forerunners for going mirrorless with the DSLR's. I found a deal on FB that was too good to pass up with the features that can be had with this cam. I have not used one yet but I'm optimistic about the outcome. This cam has a PL mount adapter where you can get into some really good glass for cinematography.

My Jvc's are my mains and the Sammy will allow me to run at the drop of a dime and get good b-roll with my slider and Gimbal while my work bourse are doing the bulk of the lifting as main cams.

I'm not a afraid to venture off the path. I know it is not a popular choice but sometimes that is when you are able to set apart from the crowd by trying something new. On certain sites and groups I see a lot of wedding videogrphers trying to make the same dream wedding and it is redundant. If you all make the same thing then the client will just go to the lowest bidder, hello! I think we need to develop our own nitch. This is what will have our clients pay what we ask. Because we specialize in that type of presentation. Anyway that is my thoughts...

So I finally got the Sammy NX1. It came with two lenses, 3 batteries, charger, and the body for $1100. I bought it from a woman out of California off FB. Someone mentioned about the footage being hard to edit... That is not true. the H.265 imports into PP with no problem and edits just like it was H.264. However initially when I imported the clips PP said that a codec HEVC has to be installed and by clicking ok it will be installed. Once I clicked ok, it was as if it was H.264. So just a note to those thinking of getting a cam that outputs H.265 and use PP. I will do some additional testing with it over the next couple of days and ultimately use for b-roll cam at my wedding Saturday in conjuction with the Zhiyun Crane V2 and the Zhiyun Crane dual grip extended handle. Will post some pics soon.

I like I promised here is the Samsung NX1 on the Zhiyun Crane V2 Stabilizer. I have not adjusted the color effectively to match the LS3 as of yet but I'm working on it.

Here is a similar double strap that aids in weight relief on long shoots - https://www.amazon.com/Release-Shoul...older+For+DSLR
