Re: Ninja 2 with FZ1000
 

Hi Chris, Sorry so long on reply, I changed to the 49 point all good now recording to ninja 2 got battery pack for camera and just waiting for adapter to suit Panasonic dummy battery the Panasonic power unit and dummy battery are not standard sizes which is a pain I have ordered a couple of cable adapters but if that does not work i will change the plugs on the Panasonic charger.
The power unit you bought online for you camera do you know if the connections are standard sizes 5.5 x 2.1mm plugs

Hi Mark

I didn't buy an adapter as yet so no idea!! The eBay ones seem to be listed as suitable for the GH2 cameras. Which plug is actually not compatible with what? The DC coupler seems to have a female plug and you were talking about using a different battery pack to power the camera I think ...If you have an issue just buy compatible plugs/sockets from JayCar Electronics and cut off the current ones and solder in new ones. You basically need a socket on the coupler and charger and a plug on the new battery pack (or viseversa) so you can unplug the pack from the DC coupler when it starts to go flat and plug it into the charger surely?? Does the actual dummy battery you bought fit into the camera OK???

Hi Chris yes I think I will have to cut the Panasonic connections off and replace with standard size, thanks for the reply

Re: Ninja 2 with FZ1000
 

Easiest way and no fuss ! What battery pack did you end up getting and did it work? Pannys are fussy about which batteries work and which don't work or does the DC coupler disable the encoder function in the battery. I'd like maybe a bigger battery pack for long events but in standby the camera seems to easily last 2 hours and more!! Sometimes we are in situations where we simply cannot get to power (like an outdoor event!!

I have updated both my Atomos Ninja 2 firmware to 4.3 and just discovered that when I connect my Panasonic FZ1000 to them now the camera is not recognized anymore, has anyone else had this problem or is there a setting to change?

Re: Ninja 2 with FZ1000
 

Hi Mark

Is the camera in AVCHD mode? Mine was not recognised if I put it in MP4 mode which was painful!! I actually sold my Ninja as with the cam in AVCHD mode the Ninja recognised it perfectly BUT the HDMI passthru was not recognised by my Livestream encoder so it went back onto eBay and was sold!!

Too many issues to deal with so I simply record with my second camera which is about the same price as a Ninja anyway!!

Re: Ninja 2 with FZ1000
 

Fixed. I reset my camera to factory default and installed 4.2 firmware still same problem traced it back to camera settings had set record to 28m 50p Ninja 2 didn’t like it changed camera setting to 24m 25p all good again reinstalled 4.3 firmware with these setting all good, sorry for the inconvenience something so simple, Ninja 2 works ok with 17m 50i just doesn’t like 50p mode

Great Mark!

It still will not work in any MP4 mode including 4K which really sucks ....Funny thing is my encoder accepts MP4 from the camera but Ninja only wants AVCHD and whatever it spits out of the HDMI passthru the encoder doesn\'t recognise as valid video ...round and round in circles
