It would be nice if they had included photometrics in the specs (pretty standard for a lighting unit) so it could be compared to existing products in the market. Also the specs list that it operates...

I think that's a fine idea Samuel. You'd have to be vigilant to keep reflections out of the gel as those would be the biggest giveaway if there was any shimmer (it's pretty tough to avoid a certain...

Sure did George, good catch. I was on my way out to work and didn't check my post. Of course the 4:4:4 mode delivers less recording time.
