Motorized zoom lenses
If you are on u/43 the Panasonic 45-175 has a servo zoom and does a good job of maintaining focus during slow zooms.

Why Panasonic exposure so simple and limited?
S-priority set to 180 degree shutter (1/50 for 24p) is an easy way to shoot AE video on a panasonic body.

@smoke32 Yes I am using the provided quick plate, adding my own would not allow the camera to balance properly. I don't have a setup video but there are plenty out there on how to balance ect. Did you have a specific question/issue?

@mrbill It has a lot to do with technique, I have had pretty good success in minimizing the bounce and will post some samples soon.

TRD Beholder DS1 and EC1 gimbals for Canon/Nikon DSLR
@jopereira The issue is getting the camera far enough back to balance with a large front lens. See this review where he demonstrates the issue: http://youtu.be/3sCU4Jd2d2k I have been flying a GH4 + 12-35 f2.8 over the holiday with the default P…

What USB port are you plugging into? To program the board you use the one behind a little plate on the camera tray.

@kingmixer It is a variable diopter that sits in front of the lens, in effect replacing the internal focus mechanism. You set focus on the lens to infinity and then leave it there and then focus with the Range Finder. Since the filter is focusing …

Ah yes a variable diopter makes sense, and yes I clearly meant focus by wire ;) I wonder how this adapter might affect lens breathing as well? Should be interesting to watch as the tests come in.

It is certainly useable, especially in good light with a fast shutter speed, but florescent lighting gives it fits.

@ badyard Yes you can control the SS no matter the lenses mounted, including on lens at all! Not sure why you won't not be able to, the shutter is in the camera body ... Where did you hear you can only used the electric shutter with legacy l…
