Hi! My name's Lenny and I'm an Australian filmmaker living in Austin, TX. Since the age of 15, I've wanted to make films and whilst I've made a bunch of short films, a web series and countless short-form videos, I've yet to reach that elusive feature film! This is me documenting my journey of writing, producing and directing my first feature film, sharing what I learn along the way!
if you use L mount lenses then there is a setup where you don't need the motors at all instead the lidar communicate with the camera thru the gimbal and use lens internal focus motor
Salut l’ami et merci pour tes video que je suis , bravo, juste une question je possede le gh6 et j’ai acheté tout les objectifs sirui anamorphic . Pourriez tu s’il te plait me do,ner des conseille sur la resolution du gh6 la meilleur pour l’anamorphic ainsi que les reglage sur fcpx je n’y arrive pas ou du moins je n’arrive pas a trouver le bon format , je suis pres a te payer pour tes precieux conseils merci Michel
You don’t have to take all those steps to used the LiDAR using the GH6 autofocus lens ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AXg5o9FJvsQ.htmlsi=LPBfWCJjFruN8mdK
Take a camera (GH5/ GH6) with one of the best IBIS+OIS, and learn basic manual focus techniques, and you should be golden… Cost effective plus learned a usable practical skill… 🤔
it will be nice if the lidar system can communicate with panasonic software, so it can give instructions or feedback to the camera when we are using the lens with internal non linear motorized autofocus
Thanks for the video. Can you adjust the sensitivity of the Active track, so the camera doesn't move with SMALL movements by the subject? Meaning, can it be set so that the subject has to mover further before active track starts to move the camera?
Yes, my understanding is that you need lenses with hard stops for the LiDAR calibration. I found this on the DJI forum where a few people have some hacks to get around this limitation, but I haven't tried any of these yet, and not sure how well they would work, but thought I'd share anyway: forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=235065
That's a good point to add! I wouldn't recommend this setup _just_ to get better focus on your camera. But if using the RS3 Pro is already part of your setup, then adding the LiDAR focus could be worthwhile for you.
Yes, it DOES look like a hassle. But... if you shoot with Panasonic cameras with contrast-detect AF only (or shoot with manual focus lenses), it's either this or pull focus manually (or, buy a Sony camera).
I would pick the GH6 or the G9 ii. I have two GH5s and a GH5 ii. I shoot primarily live theatre, concerts, and dance shows. I already have a pretty good collection of MFT glass. I also appreciate have cameras that are easy to match while editing.
Correction. If you still don't know it by now, the GH6 does not shoot in open gate 60fps. It's actually 4K with the illusion of looking like a 6K format.
i wanted all the things you said but also auto focus.....yeah you may laugh but its a big step up from my BMPCC4K, i watched the GH6 for a year and yes the price was to high ...then i saw a rebate code on amazon that took £400 off the price taking it to 1300....I got so many MFT lens i wont give them up...I have a GX8 too so its a no brainer i like the size and price of the lens now added the anamorphics to the collection and 6k HD at 300fps love it.
at 5:55 you said the gh6 can shoot 6k 60fps internally. How are you doing that? mine is updated to the newest firmware 2.2 and only goes up to 5.7k 30fps. Am I missing something? please help lol
No battery grip for the gh6 is really killing it for me. Im pretty done with jerry rigging power solutions. I think all cameras should just have 12volt barrel connectors now. Btw on the 6kpro 1 battery is about an hour and ive gotten 3 hours with the grip which is pretty nice.
With our work, the GH6 is the best choice. We produce a lot of PSAs, commercials and events. The stabilization and high frame rate options allow us to shoot in 4k 120 for everything and let's us get silky slow motion on demand for any scene. Interviews we just 5.7K and cropping in looks much nicer now. The low light is improved dramatically and with just a touch of noise reduction onboard, there's not much grain at all. The ONLY gripe, which doesn't affect us, is autofocus pulsing, which is still a thing. This is because to get 10bit, high frame rate etc, requires a small sensor or it overheats like all the other full frame rigs. I'd love to have the bokeh of full frame, but honestly, using a sigma at 1.3 or 1.1 F stop gets me there most of the time and isn't worth the other tradeoffs. For us, when funding permits, we'd like GH6 for field, and Canon for interviews (or other full frame). Some other cons, no live streaming built in, which should be for this type of camera in 2023, and the AUTO WHITE BALANCE is terrible as it shifts while recording and doesn't lock on resulting in terrible results for editing later. I'd buy this camera again no problem.
@@myenglishgig5182 I'd look at the R5, but it really depends on needs and budget. The options are crazy and if Canon can just solve the overheating issues, they could own the market. Don't know why they just didn't add a fan as most people could live with that happily instead of limitations. Anyway, it's great to have all these options and prices are not bad at all considering the capabilities and time we get out of them
For my needs the GH6 was the best fit, I need good Stab, Open gate 4/3 so I'm not having to rotate the camera and reshoot for social, For my main video content (walking tours) I need Deep DOF even in lower Fstops, so the MFT or APSC fit the bill there. I was able to find the focal lengths I want in MFT for much less than in APSC or Full frame, Just in the lens costs I saved more than the cost of the camera itself. Is it perfect? No not even close. If money hadn't been a factor I would probably own an A7s3 but after the body and lenses I desired it was well out of my price range for a hobby that doesn't make me money yet.
And the autofocus? You haven’t said anything anymore after that :) ONLY thing which keeps me from buying this camera. Otherwise, great stabe, tons of features… a dream camera.
