If you don't matter to hack the GH2, in my opinion it's the best option. I mean, if you don't need an official firmware operation, and if video/film is your main goal, the hacked GH2 (combined with good lenses - including vintage ones) produces a very high quality image. But you will need some...

I recommend Timo Luomanen ( yes@nograin.com ). His work is not cheap, but in my opinion, is awesome. http://vimeo.com/51605346 http://vimeo.com/search?q=Timo+Luomanen http://www.nograin.com/

Hmm, I see. . But trying to understand how a cheap Steadi equipment can equate itself to a rails system. Most stabilizers gears for less than $1.000 are gimbal bearing based, which means you can't correctly control the rotation of the axis. You can just walk away and pray to it don't move. For a...

What about Sigma 30mm 1.4? In my opinion, one of the best lenses.

Oh, I see. There are very good videos with Canon 50mm FD. I like this one: https://vimeo.com/18104772 But my favorite between these 3 is the Pentax. Just a matter of preference, because all of them can make amazing images and for less than $100. :)

Well, honestly, the adapter cannot be a crucial factor in your decision. It's just about 10 or 15 bucks. You have to focus on the lens. 50mm 1.4 from Minolta, Pentax and Canon FD are quite similar. There are small differences inside the range of inexplicable characteristics. The soul of the...

Yes, for any lens different from m4/3 mount, you will need an adapter. But this kind of adapter is cheap. It's just a piece of metal. And yes, it will be near 100mm in GH2. But you have a wide lens to use when you need angle. So this vintage will cover you when you need...

Well, you already have a wide and sharp lens. So I would recommend to get a fast and "organic" one. - Pentax 50mm 1.4 ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SMC-Pentax-M-50mm-1-1-4-K-mount-manual-focusing-lens-MINT-/160907039072 footages: https://vimeo.com/17899410 https://vimeo.com/21418655 -...

Hmm no aperture ring. :( But anyway, it's just a stock lens, nothing great. You can get amazing vintage lenses for a good price. Minolta, Tokina, Pentacon, etc. All with aperture rings. Take a look on this videoclip made with vintage lenses and GH2: https://vimeo.com/43188144

jax, the point is how to make a good circular travel? I can't find any other equipment in the price range of $800~1.200, which is my budget for it.

This lens have an aperture ring? If not, you are screwed. Because there is no electrical connection between the GH2 and any adapter for Nikon lens, so you can't adjust the aperture. You would have to adjust the aperture with the lens mounted on the Nikon, turn off, and so mount on GH2 with this...

I like to edit the original files directly, only reducing the preview quality when needed. The i7 processor takes it well. But windows starts to deteriorate itself with time, so I just format and the editing back to be a nice world. :)

Yes, if you don't have a 64GB/95mbps card, Sedna most times will not span - which means it will stop recording when the file reach the maximum lenght. Flowmotion 2.02 will span in any card, at least in my tests. Also, Sedna AQ1 eats 1GB per minute of video. In my opinion yes, it's the best...

Thank you, dude. Yeah I was thinking about change the music, but I kept with the same one of the last composition. This is an update, in fact. I'm using Sedna AQ1 and Flowmotion 2.02. When I need more reliability, like a long interview, I go for Flowmotion, it gives me a security that Sedna...

I just updated my showreel, 80% shot with GH2. https://vimeo.com/53565513 :)

Thank you guys. It really works, though not as easy as I thought, since it is also necessary to operate the tripod head to travel in the curve. In my imagination, I was thinking that the camera naturally would point in toward the center of the curve. But anyway, a nice solution.

Hey Jeff, did you already saw it in action or have you used it? I'm trying to find some videos with people shooting with one, but no luck.

Anyone knows this equipment and can tell me if it really works? It promises do works even in considerable irregular surfaces, made of solid rubber to be adjustable to any desired path. It comes with a dolly and you can connect your tripod above. A site with the product and some low quality...

Yes, which will provide a vertically stretched footage that you need to resize with distortion to unmake the original distortion. That's why anamorphic image contains all the information inside the wide frame.

Ok, thanks stilly. Brian, to crop video, access the Pan/Crop tool, check/uncheck the "Lock aspect ratio" and "Size about center" options according to your interest (test to see what it does), so you resize the F area, which is your Frame. If you use real anamorphic footage, you have to select...
