Zhiyun Tech Crane 2 and Crane 2S Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer
I keep thining USB follow focus might be possible on the GH5 once tethering support arrives with firmware 2 as this is how they access focus on many other brands. We don't know its limitations yet though.

Triumph of meanness
Re: "War on Everyone" - I gave this film one star for the scene where they run over a mime - but that's because I have a deep seated hatred of clowns and mimes (to me) are just clown ninjas. Love this thread.

Fotga remote for GH4 and GH5
I got one of these! Works well and I love that it has a tripod mount underneath so is easily attached to things. Minor negative - the start/stop button doesn't have a particularly solid press to it - although that makes it quiet there's no…

Sound Devices MixPre-3 and MixPre-6
They appear to have HDMI timecode and start/stop, which previously only existed on the Tascam 701D and Atomos devices. This is a great feature for DSLR video I think.

Anyone got a GH5 and a girlfriend? Any chance you could film your girlfriend walking around where you live in slowmotion as I haven't seen much footage of people's girlfriends walking around where they live in slow motion filmed on the GH…

Since they have already said they are adding tethering support in a future update it should in theory be possible to control focus etc over USB. You can do that from lightroom with tether supported cameras.

GH5 froze during recording, resulting in unreadable mdt file
I'm in Lexar 2000X with no probs so far. Just out of interest though - are you using the official battery? I had a problem with one make of battery which I chucked out. I'll try and find the sales email with the make on it.

@alcomposer - I really wish they had added a second port for full Panasonic LANC control. As is we only get record start/stop and zoom. Perhaps once tethering is available via USB it might be possible to make a LANC controller to USB unit?

Has anyone noticed that when using the normal half shutter button press to set autofocus it appears to be much less reliable / slower when the mode dial is set to video? I don't actually use autofocus in video but I quite often use the autofoc…

@Eno. Thanks - that helped! I've also looked using HDMI out to an external monitor and it's more noticeable there - it's almost like it gets dithered away on the EVF/built in screen. Will test a bit more anyway. I need to check other …

One thing I've been struggling with so far is the focus peaking. I've never owned a camera with peaking before however I did try an EM1mki with a vintage minolta lens a few years back and it seemed great. Putting the same lens on the GH5 -…

@Eno - that would put it in the ballpark of the EM1 Mk2 ISO performance I think :)

@andyharris - yeah! Not sure if it's everyone's cup of tea but it's currently my favourite game. I've just been messing with the current beta (2.3) and it has a new camera suite. Serves no gameplay purpose other than sometimes it…

I love Space Engine. Also been playing Elite a lot which sometimes can look incredibly beautiful too.

Sony 300MB/s SD Cards
Seems odd these don't have a V90 rating though as looks like they will far surpass it? Although minimum write speed always the difficult stat to find for any given card.

Just looking at this product again. Supposedly ships in April with backer parts 20 days off. I've been suspicious of it since most of what it does looks similar to the excellent Deshaker filter in Virtual Dub. I just noticed [http://steadxp.com…

Sony Introduces 3-Layer Stacked Sensor with DRAM for Smartphones

Sean Robinson mentions improved colour science - haven't heard anyone mention that before. Hopefully goodybe to that yellowy default look Lumix cameras have always had.
