Re: what is this slider?
I get that its different and has limitations, but the idea of a slider short enough that you could probably leave it on your tripod for most of the morning appeals to me.

Re: Any new thoughts on the processional?
Chris, I LOVE the fly wire idea.
As for me, in the U.S., we rarely have to deal with the exterior doors being right there. Would a 3/4 shot, on a high tripod, from up front on the side fix your...

Re: Low cost lav solution
If you're talking about pocket recorders, the Olympus DM-620 is slender, or the Tascam DR-05 (a little thicker) are had for under $100 each. I have 3 pocket recorders and a Tascam DR-40.

Re: GoPro Hero 4: Extended battery life
Like the others said, you're kind of stuck.
Get an extra long USB cord if you want to be able to hid the power pack.
Don't use WiFi to get 40ish minutes out of the battery.

Re: Will buy a new camera
Canon 80D vs Canon 70D - Is it better in low light? - YouTube
Low light comparison video for 70D v 80D. Not an earth shattering improvement, but slightly better.
80D also does 60fps at 1080.

Re: DJI Phantom 1 - Outdated?
For comparison, the 3dr Solo and the new DJI 4 professional basically fly themselves. It makes the learning curve almost zero.

Re: Will buy a new camera
I agree that the new features on the 80D aren't really worth paying extra. I do absolutely love the touch screen autofocusing and would immediately buy a 4K capable 70D with good (or decent) low...

Re: Lens changing and focal lengths
I have both full frame and crop factor cameras.
I don't like switching, but like having options on hand.

I'm trying to remember the exact number, but I'm almost sure that, as a DJ, I got a call from The Pros (all the same people) and they offered by $180. To drive 2 hours.

Re: 4k vs HD
The reason you bought a 4K camera isn't necessarily for now. Its because, if you're going to buy a camear now, you want a camera that will meet standards in 2-5 years, when 4K IS the standard.
