You're welcome bro!

I've been learning & using the Lumix S5iiX for video + photo for the last year now, but I will never get rid of my G85. I love it too much, plus we have a history together lol📸

You're Welcome!

@@marksieving7925That's going to be Celsius Marksieving, my bad, I should have mentioned I live in Canada where they measure heat Temps oddly lol

@@grubyfpv I'm not 100% positive on that, but I'm gonna lean towards "No"

@@spost26 Those are both great budget choices. Which one were u leaning more towards?

@@Mike_Mandigo I like that g85 has stabilization but there’s a gh4 on my local craigslist for $400 with lens and shotgun mic

Thanks Vinh! And yup, it's still one of the best bang for buck camera's on the market 📈

Ya the namebrand Trekpak is pricey for sure. I made mine as a DIY project last summer with some supplies from Michael's Craft Store. I liked the idea you mentioned about making a video on gear storage. I'll put together some ideas and come up with a video on that soon. Thanks for the cool idea! 😎

Thanks for noticing and aknowledging Bill! Been trying to get a little better with each video. All is well with me & my daughter. Hope you're doing good too bud! 🙌

You might be better off going with the bigger one for what you want to do Brandon

@@jacebear_ Glad you enjoy the content Jacebear, thanks for watching 🙌

@@JonnyRecaps You're welcome. Glad it was useful!

@@Bog-g1b You're welcome!

That's great news! The 25mm f/1.7 prime & G85 is a great combo you have there. There's a company called Gobe that makes some decent ND filters for a fair price. Have fun with your new setup. Thanks for watching! 😁😁

Thanks a lot! I ordered a K&F concept variable ND filter. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow. Hoping for the best!

@@Sarahlee52106 I haven't tried them, but I've heard about their blackmist filter from a CZcamsr I follow. He said the quality was great and he was pleasantly enjoying his K&F Concept filter. You made a good choice! Sorry for the late response 😥, I don't know if I overlooked comment by accident or if CZcams didn't give a notification 🤷‍♂

It's great quality, but a little pricey. Another good budget option when just starting out to improve your audio is a "Rode Video Micro". It will drastically improve your internal audio from whichever device you're recording from as long as there is a 3.5mm jack to plug the mic in. You can pick them up for about $70

Yes, I agree. Straight out the box the MKE 600 did have a more better sound. Thanks for watching Carl!

Try taking the video into your editing program and switch your audio track from "stereo" to "mono", it will then play the same signal out of both sides instead of one. See if that will solve the problem for you

Any advice to help would be appreciated :)

@@Mike_Mandigo ill try that.. thank you!

@@ftoftheX you're welcome. What video editing program are you using?

Thank you for your kind words! I have'nt tried all the mics you have listed but I appreciate your knowledge. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

I think that's a great idea! Glad it was helpful for you

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

Great. Glad it helped!

Does the framerate of the timeline match the framerate of the video? If you're filming in 4k24p your timeline should be 24p. If it's not the same, you can miss frames which might be causing the effect you mentioned...

​@@Mike_Mandigo thanks for tip. Timeline is matching. I see it laggy even in the playback on the camera. Maybe I expect too much as I am not shooting static shoots and I need to focus more on stabilization when I am shooting or settings on camera :/

@@ordinarylife8977 Use high speed sd cards

You're welcome bro!

Thanks Nick, I appreciate it. You the Man 🤜🤛

You're welome. Glad it could help LaurentMPhoto!

You're welcome Blspayri! I'll have to try that out in my next recording and compare the difference. Thx for the tip!

It's not for everybody. If you're happy with what you have, stick with that. The G85 is quite capable. I got the S5iiX to level up my photography and for the phase detect auto-focus it has in video

You're welcome Migzzvizzion! I had the same problem. I had no idea & could'nt find a video that showed how to do it. So I tried this method out and it worked. Had to make a video to show anybody else that was trying to figure it out too. Glad it was able to help you! Thx for watching and for the sub 📲

Ya it's a new logo I designed in Inkscape 💻

You're welcome Bill!

You're welcome 🤜🤛

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful to you!

Long press the button you want to have it programed to on the wheel, it will open up a menu. Go through the menu and look for "exposure meter". Select it, then don't forget to save it under one of your custom profiles. Hopefully that will solve it for you 👌

@@Mike_Mandigo The other 2 cameras you dont need to push the f button, you just turn the wheel is that be able to do?

You're welcome Bill! Thanks for watching & sharing your thoughts. I need to eventually get a screen calibrator too, but having the color chart is a step in the right direction. The Datacolor company makes screen calibrators as well. They go for upwards of $250 - $300. So it's a little bit of an investment. At least with the color charts applied to the footage, it's giving the correct colors as a starting base for the grade 🎨

@@Mike_Mandigo I agree. Great first step. They are pricey.

Thx Ravebrave, I'll keep that in mind 🤜🤛

@@Mike_Mandigo here in this video the G85 is clear winner..

@@ravebrave8866 Agreed. It was able to capture more details in highlights and wasn't as sharp & contrasty

The lens adapter is called the Fotodiox m42 to m4/3. Are you talking about the Lumix G 25mm? If so, I heard many good things about it. As for looking for more lenses to adapt, I'll do my best Ravebrave 🤜🤛

@@Mike_Mandigo yes I am talking about the lumix 25mm its one of the best lens

​@@ravebrave8866ya one of the best for the price range💯 Are you going to buy brand new, or try to find one on the used market? You may be able to find one used for half the price of a new one...💪

@@Mike_Mandigo I searched for a used one and the lowest price I found was 99 dollars. I am yet to buy the lens..

@@ravebrave8866 thats a fair price for good quality. They go for $200 - $249 brand new where I live.... Think about it as a good investment in yourself. The lens will be good in low light with the f/1.7 📸

In the color management tab for the project settings, I have my Color Science set to "DaVinci YRGB Color Managed" & beneath that I have my Color Processing Mode set to "HDR DaVinci Wide Gamut Intermediate". Once I add the Dehancer plugin to a node, I've been selecting DVR WG/Rec709 as the source, and then from there I can select the film stock and make any adjustments.

@@Mike_Mandigo what do you put for your output color space in the color management tab? And what camera settings did you use with the natural profile ? Thanks!

@@hadenp1 color management tab for the project or the dehancer node in the color page?

@@Mike_Mandigo for the project settings

@@hadenp1 for output color space: Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 For the natural color profile I just used it as is, recording in 4k 100 mbps.

Hi Frans, I haven't tried testing the AFC performance when zooming. I mainly shoot with the lens in manual as the autofocus on the Gh5 isn't fully reliable. It's always pulsing and hunting for things in the background (with my experience using it). I've heard of people getting better results with the autofocus using the Panasonic 35-100mm (watching CZcams reviews), although I haven't had the chance to see for myself. If I could go back and change time, I would have got the Panasonic Leica 35-100mm instead of the Leica 12-60, as it has a constant aperture of f/2.8, and doesn't stop down as I zoom in on the lens like it does with the 12-60mm. I hope this info helps you in your decision 🙏

@@Mike_Mandigo Thank you for your swift and extensive reply 👍👋😀
