Ihas a better shutter than its more expensive GX8 sibling, but it gives up an articulated EVF and a bigger sensor.

I measured 1,280 lux from a distance of 1 meter at 4100K (640 lux at 3,200K) with very high CRI (95+, just as claimed), yet the complete kit including batteries, power brick, light stand clamp, remote and case is just $299 [B&H|Amazon] . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1477242641063-IIXRSIHSST65NEMJF7MU/image-asset.png All Posts - Kamerar's D-Fuse: Light Modifiers for Aputure's Excellent Amaran LED Panel Aputure EZ Box with grid designed specifically for the Amaran LED panel, $55 [B&H|Amazon]. The 'box is pretty well permanently attached to my HR672C because it works AND because it's a pain to take down and set up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1477242574129-PUSGDIW9420PXUHD46J4/image-asset.png All Posts - Kamerar's D-Fuse: Light Modifiers for Aputure's Excellent Amaran LED Panel Kamerar D-Fuse soft box for Amaran, $29.95 [B&H|Amazon].

When you line them up, it just kind of snaps into position, taut (see bottom). The Grid just slips over the 'box with an elastic band. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1477257838899-7BHO8VZZOI8PLEBMW0AB/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Kamerar's D-Fuse: Light Modifiers for Aputure's Excellent Amaran LED Panel Another view of how the posts snap together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1477257631144-ID8T4UYZZB970RGO8SIB/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Kamerar's D-Fuse: Light Modifiers for Aputure's Excellent Amaran LED Panel The D-Fuse grid works and is very easy to put on.

Very nice, but when you unscrew them it's very easy for the pieces to separate as the tension is gone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1477257136072-SPOFNRDXI8P2KCGTMOS8/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Kamerar's D-Fuse: Light Modifiers for Aputure's Excellent Amaran LED Panel On the other hand, the diffusion panel doesn't fit as tightly nor consistently to the box as the D-Fuse does. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1477257938345-CXHNZLNTHIXOX9ISO1B4/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Kamerar's D-Fuse: Light Modifiers for Aputure's Excellent Amaran LED Panel The posts on the Aputure EZ Box are plastic tubes and fit by friction, so sometimes they don't seat consistently with the result that the diffuser fits differently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1477257386038-VSBTCMEANF58U5UBIP5R/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Kamerar's D-Fuse: Light Modifiers for Aputure's Excellent Amaran LED Panel Still, the net result is that Aputure's EZ Box clears the air vents and controls much more easily than the D-Fuse. Now if only it had more surface area and the front diffuser fit more tightly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1477243813214-336BPOC8N8XC9N20T6J5/image-asset.png All Posts - Kamerar's D-Fuse: Light Modifiers for Aputure's Excellent Amaran LED Panel Only available in tungsten at the moment, but Aputure's new 120t with Bowens mount and 2,500 lux at 1 meter (four times the light of the HR672C, but without the ability to change color temperature) looks pretty darned interesting, $645 for a kit excluding V-mount battery [B&H|Amazon] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1477244403529-0AGWDJAF9F6DYZLD5VJQ/image-asset.png All Posts - Kamerar's D-Fuse: Light Modifiers for Aputure's Excellent Amaran LED Panel Cinegears is now in the battery business, too.

But You Shouldn't Be Surprised The Sony FS5 [B&H|Amazon] is twice the price of the Z150, and a couple of thousand less than the FS7 before you contemplate adding on RAW capability. I prefer the FS5' size, weight and form factor, but what I really want is an...FS3. Hey, if Sony can take the guts of an RX10 III and put it into a dedicated video camera, then Sony can take the a6300/a6500 sensor and put it into a baby brother to the FS5 and charge less. You know what? I'd give up RAW and 10-bit for that. http://hughbrownstone.com/all-posts/2016/10/8/rx100-mark-v-first-images-thoughts monthly 0.5 2016-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1475952520227-SE56YDAS23CTVEPX3TWM/image-asset.png All Posts - RX100 Mark V, Part 1: First Images, First Footage, First Thoughts (What Would HCB Do?)

ISO 200, f/2.8, 1/30, JPEG, intelligent auto exposure, high speed burst:this is an example where the intelligent auto made a trade-off independent of the subject matter. Simple enough to change, which I did (below); sometimes, appropriate -- especially when artistic license kicks in. After all, a little motion blur can be a beautiful thing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1475954236048-7YPTZXQIEWZGXYQGOFKF/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - RX100 Mark V, Part 1: First Images, First Footage, First Thoughts (What Would HCB Do?) Fair use: THIS is a decisive moment, one of the most famous by the photographer who coined the phrase, Henri Cartier-Bresson. Copyright 2010 Henri Cartier-Bresson/Magnum Photos. Scanned from "Henri Cartier-Bresson The Modern Century," Copyright 2010 The Museum of Modern Art. The RX100 Mark V is a radically superior image capture machine compared to the Leica with which Cartier-Bresson took this photograph, but in the end this grainy, slightly blurred image taken almost 85 years ago proves that it's not the machine, it's the person. And that technical perfection is NOT always the goal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1475942729658-YX9B5ZAU44WAFUQGPUCA/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - RX100 Mark V, Part 1: First Images, First Footage, First Thoughts (What Would HCB Do?)

Remember: f/1.8 on a camera with a 2.7 crop factor will yield depth of field equivalent to a full frame's f/4.9. Having much more reach would be another way of getting there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1475959076243-EZY6ZG8BBP1JAJYBDKX7/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - RX100 Mark V, Part 1: First Images, First Footage, First Thoughts (What Would HCB Do?)

My travel camera back then (I lived in Europe from '98 - '01) was the same as my everything-else camera: a Canon EOS 3 35mm film camera, usually with Canon's EF 28-70mm f/2.8 L. It captured some of my favorite images of all time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1474394445207-CX7AGOYIQUM7TF1ERSIJ/image-asset.png All Posts - 2016 Travel Camera of the Year: A Plane Ticket The EOS 3 sat just below the legendary EOS 1n. It was my last film camera. It had 45 AF points and eye control, which allowed the user to simply look at where he or she wanted the camera to focus, and it would recognize it. When you look at its specifications, it may strike you as thoroughly modern (including EF mount, E-TTL flash system and 1/8000 top shutter speed) except for the lack of a digital sensor and everything that comes with it. Mine also had a battery grip. All told, my "travel" setup weighed about a shade over 5 pounds (51 oz for the body, grip and batteries and another 31 oz. for the lens with hood). The body alone takes up about 1,389 cc's of space, give or take. I preferred Kodachrome slide film back in the day (ASA 25) or even Ektachrome (ASA 64). The closest thing to it today is Canon's 5D Mk IV, a vastly more capable image capture device with a price tag of $3,499 [B&H|Amazon] . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1474395651900-9QYR9TQS00QM62O3W8M4/image-asset.png All Posts - 2016 Travel Camera of the Year: A Plane Ticket The Canon 28-70mm f/2.8L was the predecessor of Canon's 24-70mm f/2.8L II. Both remain legendary zoom lenses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1474397008767-0KLZ047KAU7Z2JDZHF5Q/image-asset.png All Posts - 2016 Travel Camera of the Year: A Plane Ticket I replaced the EOS 3 in 2002 with the original Canon 1D, a 4 megapixel digital camera with a top shutter speed of 1/16,000 and a top ISO of 3200. The rear panel was 2" diagonally with 120,000 pixels. I loved it, but the digital merry-go-round began almost immediately thereafter: over the next years, I moved to the 10D and then 30D before settling on the 5D Mk II. Each one was my travel camera, coupled to the 28-70/2.8L. Today's equivalent, the 1 DX Mk II, is again a vastly superior camera, the only hybrid of which I'm aware that shoots 4K DCI at up to 60fps (oh, yeah: it also has a top ISO of 409,600 and 14fps in stills). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1474395836008-RSFH1EC25EJSA9QXYZJY/image-asset.png All Posts - 2016 Travel Camera of the Year: A Plane Ticket https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1474398922657-61TM2D80DLRT6UTGX128/image-asset.png All Posts - 2016 Travel Camera of the Year: A Plane Ticket The RX10 Mk III is a massively accomplished all-in camera for $1,498 with a full frame equivalent built-in 24-600mm zoom. At $1,498 [B&H|Amazon] it's not cheap, but I think it's unmatched at the price for flexibility including 4K recording. If I had to bring one camera to cover the widest possible range of contingencies, this would be it. But I'd miss the shallow depth of field that only prime lenses -- for now -- can give you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1474726617316-9289F0W6I55ONKNCL32B/image-asset.png All Posts - 2016 Travel Camera of the Year: A Plane Ticket The FZ2000 was announced at Photokina, and on first blush it seems to be Panasonic's version of Sony's RX 10 Mk III updated with those things we'd want in a Mark IV: built-in ND, 10-bit, 4:2:2 4K via external recorder; and full articulating touch screen. Yowza. It has a 20.1 mp 1" sensor (you have to wonder if it's the same one in the Sony). Looks like it's going to be a couple of hundred bucks cheaper, too - but it's not yet listed on the B&H site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1474399287004-74RPFZH7HVSUSTKR3QG0/image-asset.png All Posts - 2016 Travel Camera of the Year: A Plane Ticket For just under $800 with kit zoom lens [B&H|Amazon] , this little brother to Panasonic's GX8 offers interchangeable lenses, 4K recording and Panny's 16mp micro-four-thirds sensor. The sensor doesn't wow me (although it's better than any smartphone's), I don't love the Panny zoom lenses (but better than any smartphone's), it doesn't have a headphone or a microphone jack, but it's petite and less expensive than my go-to camera these days the Sony a6300, it has in-body image stabilization, it doesn't overheat - and if you want to buy better lenses for it, you can. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1474399610587-VMSVB4G9444KH4CQ38U4/Screen+Shot+2016-09-20+at+3.26.28+PM.png All Posts - 2016 Travel Camera of the Year: A Plane Ticket I haven't gone hands-on with it yet, but the M5 is an intriguing camera, perhaps Canon's first serious entry into the mirrorless space. At just under $1,000 for the body only [B&H|Amazon] ($!,497 with an EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens, 28-240mm full frame equivalent), it's still missing 4K recording and I'm not-yet-quite-sure-what-else (how good is that electronic in-body image stabilization, for example?), but with the sensor of an 80D, a newer Digic 7 processor, physical controls and a touch interface which just might be lovely -- and an adapter allowing it to take any EF mount lens including a wonderful selection of primes, it just might be a hit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1474400230705-OD6CCI821RLRNWBSY3BD/image-asset.png All Posts - 2016 Travel Camera of the Year: A Plane Ticket I played with the diminutive RX1-R II at a Sony press conference, and with the 42mp sensor from the a7r II and a built-in 35mm f/2, it was enticing: keep it simple, work with what you've got, and whatever images you do end up liking, you can put them up as murals. But at almost $4,000 for a niche product [B&H|Amazon] it's very expensive: you could buy trans-atlantic tickets (economy class) for three people -- or rent a Tuscan villa -- with the same money. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1474400559329-1IV40YHJQ5VO3HBKQP9T/image-asset.png All Posts - 2016 Travel Camera of the Year: A Plane Ticket At $4,250 [B&H|Amazon , the Leica Q is an even greater object of lust even as it is more constrained than the Sony - it's also a full-frame, fixed lens camera, but with a 24mp sensor which no doubt yields lovely results at enlargements up to maybe even A3, you still can't enlarge the final image as much as you can with the Sony. For the same dough you could buy a beater and road trip across the entire U.S. You might not be comfortable, but you could do it. Route 66, anyone? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1474396510328-DGD17AEO6LX423JT43LY/image-asset.png All Posts - 2016 Travel Camera of the Year: A Plane Ticket Apple's latest iPhone 7 Plus sports two lens/12mp sensor units which are full frame equivalents of about 28mm f/11 and 56mm f/12. This already gives it more flexibility than the RX1-R II or Leica Q for field of view, but both blow it out of the water for depth of field control - unless the new software which Apple promises will simulate bokeh works really, really, really well. The iPhone 7 Plus is dramatically smaller and lighter than everything else here, and since it doubles as a phone and pretty impressive computer. I want one (I'm getting one). But I don't need it because I already have the 6s Plus. If Cartier-Bresson could capture iconic images with a Leica III and a 35mm or 50mm (his usual combo) back when even ISO 400 was exotic, how can we complain about just about any camera we have today? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1474727530507-561ZCRPD6SY3BSIO247J/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - 2016 Travel Camera of the Year: A Plane Ticket The Eye Witness series of travel books is just about the best in the business.

Sony's new FE 50mm f/1.8 has full frame coverage but at $248 is $50 cheaper than one of my personal favorites, its APS-C crop sensor older, slimmer brother the E 50mm f/1.8 OSS. Image quality was very good, but it felt like a step back from the little E from an operational and ergonomic perspective: the E was quieter, faster, and felt a bit more solid. In fact, the new FE reminded me more of my old Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II. The 70-300, I'll tell you right now, is a GREAT lens.

Peak Design's CapturePro [B&H|Amazon] with MicroPlate [B&H|Amazon] was the perfect solution: the camera and one lens would always hang off the shoulder strap, leaving plenty of room inside the bag for everything else -- and be that much faster in moving from awareness to shot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470166045952-99CZ7QMUZ3Z4VUSSPGNH/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention? The MicroPlate is smaller than the regular plate, making it easier to use Sony's tilting rear LCD panel. Unlike the regular plate, however, it only orients one way (notice it's wider than longer). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470167599253-A2WA4SFXR2YITTF55ZPO/image-asset.png All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention? Periscope is not much more difficult than twitter -- no setup involved -- making it an easier choice for me than the other app I contemplated, Wirecast Go. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470172614024-YP2JER84SI3UQPANJZLJ/image-asset.png All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention? I've used RØDE Rec since I bought my first smartLav. It works well. Zoom, among others, makes a similar app. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470230195231-W9MCQYNKT04HTVUF84TH/DSC09932.jpg All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention?

iPhone 6s+ screen grab en route to Wells Fargo Arena and first night of the DNC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470233144246-715AYO6XZA8STES96B1A/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention? Arriving at Wells Fargo Arena in the middle of a flash flood: iPhone 6s+, ISO 80, f/2.2, 1/10. There's a reason point & shoot unit sales have dropped precipitously: who needs one when you have one of these? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470233282723-04YVLLUYMFVPXTP9TAL0/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention? Racing through flash flood from the bus to the security tent at the DNC. iPhone 6s+ ISO 40, f/2.2, 1/15. Out in a jiffy, I didn't mind that it got wet. It was just fine. I think the Schneider iPro case helped. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470249825166-IG20G6U9IDCHTS0R4WEP/DSC00114.jpg All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention?

Sony 500mm f/4.0 G: reach, speed and image stabilization in A- (not E-) mount, but it can be used with their LAEA4 adapter on E-mount bodies. The adapter's a very reasonable $348. The lens? That'll set you back just under $13,000. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470251099964-KIPJ4AZ486CRP89AUFWP/image-asset.png All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention? Sony's 300mm f/2.8 G II is petite by comparison at 9 1/2" long and a shade under 5 pounds, but it doesn't have IS. Then again, it will only set you back $7,500 or so. It can also use the LAEA4 adapter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470251369589-PPQ8H231LRJNPC3GBATR/image-asset.png All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention? We were heading down the path of the 300mm f/2.8 with this Sony LAEA4 adapter, but Mark had another idea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470251769467-1MTYYF7NOCR9140XOKY9/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention? Sony RX10 III [B&H|Amazon] would give me more optical reach than the 300mm f/2.8, yet at the wide end would go all the way down to a full frame equivalent of 24mm, besting the Batis 18mm on the a6300. I'd used it before and liked the set of trade-offs it represented, but until Mark suggested it I'd never thought of it in this context. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470251982695-HLFPNML0C8E9RE0J4Q4H/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention? At $1,498, Sony's RX10 Mark III is just about one-fifth the price and half the weight of the 300mm f/2.8 alone. Sure, it gives up a stop of light and uses a 1" sensor (still 20 megaixels). But for most of us, it's a much more reasonable set of trade-offs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470252971475-R4JL7AJ4UQDVAFVKFO00/DSC09962.JPG All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention?

Left to right: Sony E 50mm f/1.8, Sony FE 50mm f/1.8, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 with Commlite adapter. I wouldn't recommend the last combination - autofocus on a Sony body with any adapter just isn't great - but the real standout here is the E 50mm f/1.8 if you're using a crop-sensor body like the a6300. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470254331623-SR5NHYWMK53C63K555B4/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Three Days with a Pile of E-Mount Lenses, an a6300, an a6000, an RX10 III, an iPhone 6s+, and a Couple of Bags: What Better Way to Stress Gear than at a Presidential Nominating Convention?

It's actually no comparison at all. Massive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1471004182028-3IZR6Z1NOCVLF8KX25PX/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving The base plate is super-robust, but one price is limited travel of the front riser and the need to really lock it down with a pair of hex screws. With the FS5 and the Sachtler Ace Matte Box, this meant I needed a separate riser to line up everything else. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1469917662515-GB04QX6F6EGB8PSX1O7L/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving Once you dial everything in, it's easy enough to tighten the base plate's mounting screws to the camera with a narrow flat bladed screwdriver.

I really like this. Also note how the two little arms are different lengths - that's because I screwed them in to different depths. This approach (rather than, say, using the clamp to also lock them in place after positioning them better) makes it very hard to put them exactly where you need them to prevent twisting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1469902709293-WT9DZAOZIIPPW6LLTN4L/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving Good idea: the Zamerican Arm relies on what is essentially a quick releaseso that you don't futz around screwing and unscrewing an entire monitor into a 1/4" 20 socket. The problem in this case is that the equivalent of a second tripod screw or the kind of lip you find on something like a dedicated ReallyRightStuff L-bracket --these two little 90° holders -- are too difficult to line up for every situation. I think this needs a redesign, even as I recognize it's impossible to anticipate every combination of gear or mounting points. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1469918742633-66ADW3SWZNOGYJJP54NM/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving But with this written, once you screw the heck out of the QR clamp, that arm is just outstanding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1469897655361-KQSM9M4F3DHG26XR61N8/image-asset.png All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving QR Riser available for $98.10 at B&H https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1469909575375-5LON2YBMR26WRM0XW53I/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving As you can see in this photo before the QR Riser arrived, the camera sat too low relative to the matte box. It's just one example of the challenge faced when mixing and matching gear from different manufacturers. It's no one's fault: it's impossible to account for all possible combinations. Properly lining up the follow focus and matte box also required me to locate the FS5 all the way forward, creating a pronounced tilt even with the counter-balancing weight of the Anton Bauer battery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1469909223390-LOZ2RYJIQLH0SBP6254F/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving The riser did the trick in placing the lens in perfectly alignment with Sachtler Matte Box (not shown).

The only fly in the ointment is that I couldn't find the right balance with this particular set-up when also using a matte box and follow focus -- I needed Zacuto's not-yet-released update to the VCT base plate with sliding deck. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470754232013-QTDHZ2YCOYS4LFPJPOL9/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving This is the only button on the Eye, but it's more than that: it's a joystick, and works beautifully with a very rich Zacuto menu system. including focus and exposure assists (with my favorite, false color) and the easiest to use LUT function I've ever seen.

There is zero slack on the Z-drive because of that universal joint, and it has a heft and silkiness to it that the edelkrone doesn't approach. Can you get the job done with the edelkrone? Yes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1469914289352-T05HDC8CFKRBX8JIZ8OY/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving Never mind that I don't even have a geared lens mounted - that's not the point. The point is that the Z-Drive is a truly original follow focus designed for run 'n gun one-man band operation, interestingly enough a scenario less appropriate for all of the other gear here. I've removed the Tornado grip which is intended to complete and complement the Z-Drive as part of a two handed rig and reversed how it would then be pointed - away from the body. It really is brilliant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1469914539679-HFYIDN3K2ISUYF4G0UHB/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving Here's the Z-Drive side by side with the edelkrone, Tornado grip removed. It's almost as compact as the edelkrone, but again it's in a different league. At $261.25 for the grip alone and $522 for the Z-Drive by itself (the edelkrone is $199 on the edelkrone site) it ought to be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1471005743118-DN3I4V2QLIQ20BJPOOK7/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving But nothing's perfect, and the two tightening levers which attach the Z-Drive to the 15mm rod can get in each other's way. Sure, these are spring-loaded levers that can be lifted and turned so that you can get them as tight as you need, but this is a good example of where upping the design will pay dividends in the user experience and perception of thoroughness of design courtesy of real world feedback. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1469895097570-QPN8PVHDKOKZ30NBFWKN/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving The Gratical Eye is beautifully designed and built in the U.S. Am I the only who's reminded of Fritz Lang's 1927 METROPOLIS? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1470754571745-XNJCJR46WS4X2HNAMUDE/image-asset.png All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1469915007306-U7MJ78XYIASJ2JZXSXDC/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Zacuto: Bullet-Proof but Evolving Or maybe the speakers at one of the last drive-ins in Ohio?

Lovely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1468416656922-MARPL2L6ALSEY0GTA38B/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Sachtler Video 18 S2 Fluid Head: Crazy Good, Crazy Expensive The lighted bubble level on the Cartoni is easier to see and easier to switch on, but that might be because the Cartoni can tilt a full 90° -- the Sachtler doesn't go quite as far. The pan drag on the Cartoni is the rubber ring just below the bubble level that reads "FLUID" -- it's not as easy to grip nor as precise as the Sachtler. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1468416418160-ZIN61CJ6KX15G9JLFOHP/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Sachtler Video 18 S2 Fluid Head: Crazy Good, Crazy Expensive The Cartoni is beautifully built and beautiful to look at. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1468416459788-28NFOJ3UGNNV208LM36D/DSC00003.jpg All Posts - Sachtler Video 18 S2 Fluid Head: Crazy Good, Crazy Expensive The drag controls are easy to engage, though the locking levers are smaller than those on the Sachtler -- and less easy to unlock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1468416573397-QEZMI7VKAOQPVQAPUT02/DSC00004.jpg All Posts - Sachtler Video 18 S2 Fluid Head: Crazy Good, Crazy Expensive The pan locking lever, like the tilt locking lever - is small and therefore requires more force to unlock it. Sachtler levers are larger and better placed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1468417146804-PDTN9MEUYNQVEFBVC1PI/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Sachtler Video 18 S2 Fluid Head: Crazy Good, Crazy Expensive Both the Sachtler Speedlock CF and Cartoni feature 100mm bowls, and both have sturdy, quick set legs (Cartoni uses two stage legs, Sachtler three). The Cartoni legs are larger diameter and appear to be very robust aluminum, while the Sachtler legs are made of carbon fibre and narrower. Because the Sachtler uses three stages, it can go both a touch higher and a little lower than the Cartoni. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1468418847995-VXLW4FCNVIR7157O5KYO/image-asset.png All Posts - Sachtler Video 18 S2 Fluid Head: Crazy Good, Crazy Expensive The Cartoni's leg locking mechanism is a bit different, but I've grown to like it. The lever hinges up/down rather than left/right as in every other lever locking tripod I've ever seen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1468419012535-P61VP9HVPATKB7IL59QZ/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Sachtler Video 18 S2 Fluid Head: Crazy Good, Crazy Expensive The Sachtler locking mechanism is a bit different too, but it still a left/right orientation. I think it's a little easier to pinch your fingers this way, though it hasn't happened yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1468417315356-RARIADAE234ABTKR7THQ/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Sachtler Video 18 S2 Fluid Head: Crazy Good, Crazy Expensive The Sachtler sticks came with the Speed Lock, a very clever, faster and easier way to level and lock the head in place than the traditional style knob ti down on the Cartoni. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1468417613283-IRYG1JZMRD21DIF5W6P4/image-asset.png All Posts - Sachtler Video 18 S2 Fluid Head: Crazy Good, Crazy Expensive There's nothing wrong with the mid-level spreader on the Cartoni.

Pull the loops up, and you can remove the feet immediately to reveal not one but two spikes at the end of each leg.

Yes, It Makes Sense to Compare Them. Like its companion base plate, the Sachtler only needs one support rod clamp to attach the matte box via the rod bridge.

Then again, the Neewer matte box weighs all of 210g, vs. the Sachtler's 954g, and that third lever in the center gives the Neewer one huge functional advantage over the Sachtler: it's height adjustable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1468851220194-KRKMK2WD9ITYOZ4COXF9/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - $500 Sachtler Ace Matte Box vs. $20 Neewer Matte Box.

Yes, It Makes Sense to Compare Them. It's marred only by the fact that the matte box itself is not height-adjustable, and the base plate -- which is height-adjustable -- doesn't allow the rods to sit quite low enough to make up for the lens mount to camera base height. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1468851352722-81UVQCA6SK4U9TKV8W5O/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - $500 Sachtler Ace Matte Box vs. $20 Neewer Matte Box.

It's easy enough to use a cloth donut or even do a little McGyvering by performing some surgery on one and then gluing on a second Sachtler rubber donut ($22.50 at B&H) or perhaps choosing from a whole set of Redrock Micro donuts to do the same thing ($19.95 at B&H). There's not much leeway with the Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 cine lens (75mm diameter), though it didn't get in the way of the image. But there are even larger diameter lenses you may want to use, and this may become problematic. Everything about the Sachtler screams "perfection," so this is a touch disappointing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1468348371748-HNZKD5PDWPVAJZ2YP2TL/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - $500 Sachtler Ace Matte Box vs. $20 Neewer Matte Box.

It can work with Super35-designed lenses like the Veydras and a manual follow focus like the edelkrone FocusONE, but I wouldn't recommend it for use with large or full frame geared cine lenses with high torque follow focus motors.

THIS is Why. The FOTGA is even elegant in its own way -- but only when it comes to aesthetics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1467387285288-3SJ95DVJGG5R4GIM9KXL/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Sachtler vs. Zacuto vs. FOTGA -- or Why the HECK Would Someone Spend Five to Ten Times as Much on a Freakin' Baseplate When You Can Get a Perfectly Usable One for $60? THIS is Why. The fact that the FOTGA uses a separate set of clamps for the rod attached only to the rods -- as opposed to part of the baseplate itself -- contributes to its limited utility for all but the lightest cameras. Which is fine, if you're using a light camera. But having the locking lever mounted between the rails is sub-optimal. Which is also fine if money is tight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1467387541274-EHPI8QYODHCG8GUF538N/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Sachtler vs. Zacuto vs. FOTGA -- or Why the HECK Would Someone Spend Five to Ten Times as Much on a Freakin' Baseplate When You Can Get a Perfectly Usable One for $60? THIS is Why. The camera baseplate and tripod plate are held in place by this single locking lever with also doubles as the locking lever for the height adjustment. The good news is that you can reverse their orientation so that they sit over each other to better balance the load. The bad news is that it makes it even tougher to tighten the tripod screw or adjust the height. I'm not knocking the FOTGA - it and others like it will do the business under the right circumstances. You just need to be clear about what those circumstances are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1467387893182-Q45LY0ML4GVN1CZFH66B/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Sachtler vs. Zacuto vs. FOTGA -- or Why the HECK Would Someone Spend Five to Ten Times as Much on a Freakin' Baseplate When You Can Get a Perfectly Usable One for $60?

Makes sense to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1467391593632-PAM2TKNMZQ0GNFI9A6GL/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Sachtler vs. Zacuto vs. FOTGA -- or Why the HECK Would Someone Spend Five to Ten Times as Much on a Freakin' Baseplate When You Can Get a Perfectly Usable One for $60?

Sony RX10 Mark III Takes On the Sony a6300 with Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 Little things make a big difference on certain kinds of shoots: imagine having to take your camera out of the gimbal, off the tripod, or out of the cage every time you need to change a memory card. Think: a6300. Then again, you're more likely to do any of these things to change the battery, in which case think: the a6300 AND the RX10 Mark III, since both use the same battery accessible only from the bottom plate. This is one reason why their bigger brother, Sony's FS5, is the best "no futzing around" ILC video camera for the money out there. IMHO, anyway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1464466754930-FP0F0GZL28VD0J5JS7AE/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Another Nail in the Coffin of Entry-level/Budget Enthusiast DSLRs?

Here’s Why. TASCAM DR70-D hooked into the sound board, with a pair of built-in mics running on channels two and three for ambient. Tip from Captain Obvious: a guy saying "check, check, 123" hours before a presidential candidate gets up to the mic and connects with his crowd isn't going to have the same level, so make adjustments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1462647408633-MH9KH43PADPKDSQQSCVE/image-asset.png All Posts - Sony’s FS5 is the Best Get-It-Right, NO FUTZING AROUND Interchangeable Lens Video Camera for the Money Out There Today. Here’s Why. Yeah, OK: an iPhone with digital zoom doesn't yield the best image quality here -- but it's what Claudia had on her. And it IS sort of a painterly look, right? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1462651554145-WH1CNYUKLBBHWK1TAI1Q/image-asset.png All Posts - Sony’s FS5 is the Best Get-It-Right, NO FUTZING AROUND Interchangeable Lens Video Camera for the Money Out There Today. Here’s Why. The built-in ND filter was a life-saver, and the 18-105 f/4 was plenty versatile, even providing nice bokeh (this and the following few images are screenshots from 1080p, straight out of the camera). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1462651683530-8VMX7RLB4TER7BQGDZM0/image-asset.png All Posts - Sony’s FS5 is the Best Get-It-Right, NO FUTZING AROUND Interchangeable Lens Video Camera for the Money Out There Today. Here’s Why. That 18-15 was also plenty sharp, well-suited to purpose.

Then again, the new 70-300 might have been the perfect complement to the rest of my kit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1462651987318-53JHXKKZBYZWF85VDA1V/image-asset.png All Posts - Sony’s FS5 is the Best Get-It-Right, NO FUTZING AROUND Interchangeable Lens Video Camera for the Money Out There Today. Here’s Why. The a6300 with a Zeiss Touit 12mm f/2.8 was a perfect match to the FS5, but with an effective full-frame equivalent field of view of 24mm, the 18-105 was pretty darned good at the wide end too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1462650197595-PQM7UVJL2ZLIO3OPY5JG/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Sony’s FS5 is the Best Get-It-Right, NO FUTZING AROUND Interchangeable Lens Video Camera for the Money Out There Today.

Here’s Why. It looks beautiful, and if you don't have to use the buttons the grip fits beautifully too. The problem is: of course you have to use the buttons, and the only one that fall readily to hand is the grip release. For me. Your mileage may vary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1462730289838-0KWSK8NPKCQVO0FTEM03/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Sony’s FS5 is the Best Get-It-Right, NO FUTZING AROUND Interchangeable Lens Video Camera for the Money Out There Today.

Right: with the Astra Bi-Color Soft. This is what happens when you still don't really know what you're doing with lighting or color correction; you never leave your setup in place; and then you get your hands on a Litepanels Astra Bi-Color Soft, get inspired and learn new things in the process. Same lens (Sony E 50mm f/1.8), but I'm also confounding things by using a Sony a6000 on left, Sony a6300 on right (though both were shot at 1080p 24fps). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1459898714627-P8HVATKB1L512YH6JAE9/image-asset.png All Posts - Litepanels Astra Soft Bi-Color 1x1 LED Panel: Beautiful Light, Beautiful Design Budget panel on the left, Astra Bi-Color Soft on the right, both 100% power, 5400K. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1459863710842-LKHPHC1778FKALZ32HFG/image-asset.png All Posts - Litepanels Astra Soft Bi-Color 1x1 LED Panel: Beautiful Light, Beautiful Design The subject is a 1/43rd scale auto. See what I mean about not having a worthy model? All lights one meter away at full power, set to daylight. From left to right, Aputure Lightstorm LS 1/2W diffused; Astra Bi-Color Soft, Aputure Amaran HR672C diffused with EZ Box, Aputure Lightstorm LS 1/2w undiffused. All images destaturated and equalized as best I can to show actual differences in output and diffusion at the same ISO, shutter speed and aperture. You'll only see the difference if you look really, really, really closely, but that's the point: this is an example of an object a fraction of the size of the lighting surface area. This is why a 7' Octobox is awesome for full-length images of people, and why the Astra Bi-Color Soft is awesome for interviews and close-ups of people. It's a little bit of overkill (OK, a LOT) for a toy car less than 4" long. Then again, it's not designed for that purpose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1459898540877-XM9DSQTFED48VDCETHKQ/image-asset.png All Posts - Litepanels Astra Soft Bi-Color 1x1 LED Panel: Beautiful Light, Beautiful Design DoPchoice Snapbag Softbox for Astra 1x1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1459898561106-EB1AGSR8MA1KH5WA3SUW/image-asset.png All Posts - Litepanels Astra Soft Bi-Color 1x1 LED Panel: Beautiful Light, Beautiful Design SkyPanel S30-C LED Softlight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1459627220171-CHCH7UNV3NEBZJBSXGF2/image-asset.png All Posts - Litepanels Astra Soft Bi-Color 1x1 LED Panel: Beautiful Light, Beautiful Design Litepanels Astra Series http://hughbrownstone.com/all-posts/2016/4/4/aputure-takes-a-new-turn-smartphones monthly 0.5 2016-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1459798386591-7TWA1ADMQWBZGVTYNNT3/image-asset.png All Posts - Aputure Takes a New Turn: Smartphone Accessories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1459800293834-S4IOY4EAWZH7IJRGYX4P/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Aputure Takes a New Turn: Smartphone Accessories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1459800446433-TGIQX6ZD4BV7Q0VMU749/IMG_9543.jpg All Posts - Aputure Takes a New Turn: Smartphone Accessories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1459800259148-6569FTMOUEED6POAFR7S/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Aputure Takes a New Turn: Smartphone Accessories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1459800367014-MT5ZMJ3ZO7GF6N8NKSX0/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Aputure Takes a New Turn: Smartphone Accessories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1459800537638-66EILX02VUOL76VGBK40/IMG_9540.jpg All Posts - Aputure Takes a New Turn: Smartphone Accessories http://hughbrownstone.com/all-posts/2016/4/4/sony-a6300-vs-fs5-120-fps-which-is-which monthly 0.5 2016-04-04 http://hughbrownstone.com/all-posts/2016/4/1/we-have-a-winner-of-the-aputure-vs-1-finehd-7-field-monitor monthly 0.5 2016-04-01 http://hughbrownstone.com/all-posts/2016/3/27/back-to-the-future-blackmagic-designs-new-micro-studio-4k-is-a-mashup-of-the-legendary-hasselblad-501-and-a-gopro-hero-and-an-indication-of-where-cameras-should-go-next monthly 0.5 2016-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56265dabe4b09a7e5c7423e2/1459265729322-N5HDLPMC1ER7SHV84HMR/image-asset.jpeg All Posts - Back to the Future: Blackmagic Design’s New Micro Studio 4K is a Mashup of their Studio Camera 4K, a GoPro Hero and the Legendary Hasselblad 500C – and an Indication of Where Cameras Should Go Next GoPro Hero3+ (mine); Blackmagic Design Micro Studio 4K (courtesy Blackmagic) with Olympus M.
