ENG rig for GH3
Slowly getting together my GH3 ENG style rig. Attached is the rig in "beta" testing, still a number of things to add, mod & change. Put this up on twitter (still new to twitter, but feel free to follow @zijital) & it got some hits. SmallHD reposted on their facebook page & that got a bunch of likes.
A bunch of people were interested so I put together a very simple lens test (IE: far from ideal lens test / comparison) http://youtu.be/I9_C9t_0opY Let me know your thoughts! Rig: GH3 (got the last one in stock from Norman camera in Michigan) Canon 16x8 ENG lens SmallHD DP4 EVF Tilta baseplate (love this thing, got a good deal from teamtilta.com e-mail me if you need an invite) Lanparte v-mount battery pinch (from Ozirigpro who had an amazing deal) 2/3" B4 to m43 adapter 12pin ENG lens to D-tap adapter (to power servo)

Re: ENG rig for GH3
Interesting rig, however I am most interested in how the lens is working with the camera. Can you go to full wide angle?

Re: ENG rig for GH3
Check the video on YouTube (URL hyper link now fixed, it wasn't click-able before).
When in ETC (crop) mode you can use the lens with or without the 2x (aka "doubler"). When you're using the entire 4/3" sensor you have to have the 2x enabled, if not you'll have massive vignetting (you can see this at the start of the video.)

Re: ENG rig for GH3
Looks very, very good. Right now I can't see it in HD but since it's an SD lens, I wondering are there any chromatic aberrations when you zoom in?

Re: ENG rig for GH3
Can you clarify what you mean by you can't see it in HD b/c of the SD lens? I've read reviews of some good "SD" lenses that perform great on HD cameras & some "HD" lenses that don't deserve the designation.
Not sure when I'll have the time, but I'll try to shoot some more footage & try to push the lens to a breaking point of image quality.

Re: ENG rig for GH3
Now that I've seen it in HD ( I was watching it on a tablet before), I can see that there is very little chromatic aberration in the circumstance you were filming in and that's good. The Canon's detail is softer than the 14-42mm lens which is not unexpected, it being an SD lens, but that might be a good thing at times.

Re: ENG rig for GH3
Looks great Zach. Where did you get the 12pin ENG lens to D-tap adapter ?
