The Panasonic GH4 records 4k, the Speedbooster “expands” your sensor and give your more light, and together with the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 you are able to shoot video with aperture F1.2.

This is the great Sigma 18-35mm lens: www.bhphotovid...
And this is the Panasonic Gh4 (It's getting cheaper! :D): www.bhphotovid...
The downside with the Panasonic GH4 compared too 5D mark iii and Sony A7S, is the poor video quality when shooting in high ISO. So using a fast lens is necessary when shooting in low light with the GH4. Last year, Metabone released the Speedooster, which is an adapter for Canon EF lenses and micro four third cameras like the GH4. It is not just an adapter. Inside the speedbooster, it’s a special glass that increases your lenses maximum aperture by one stop and also makes lenses o,7x wider. That means it would not only give you more light, but also decrease the cropping inside the camera.
So after some research, I found out that the best and most practical setup I could get, for the cheapest amount of money, would be too buy the Gh4, the Metabone Speedbooster (MB_SPEF-m43-BM1) and the Sigma lens.
Many people think that 4k itself is what creates sharp and good looking video, but the video codec is as important, as well as the lens. The Panasonic GH4 has the possibility to record 4K video in 100 Megabit per second, Full HD in 200 Mbps and even 96fps FULL HD 100 Mbps. The Canon 5D mark ii, which was my latest camera, captures video in 42mbps, and compared to the Canon 5D mark iii which captures video in 92 mbps, you can really see the difference.
You can modify the picture profiles in the GH4, and you also have presets like Cinelike D, which makes your image flat and easier to color grade in post production. It has focus peeking and zebra stripes, which helps a lot during shooting.
The flip screen is genius, and the viewfinder is a must if you are shooting in bright sunlight and don’t have any external viewfinders.
On most of the inexpensive cameras like the Canon 550D or the new 750D, you got an APS-C sensor, which is a bit bigger and gives you shorter depth of field then the GH4 sensor. On a full frame sensor you get even shorter depth of field, so it’s great for film-making. So is there any chance for the micro four third sensor to get short enough depth of field so we can achieve the film-look? Yes, and that is one of the benefits with the Speedbooster. The Metabones Speedbooster concentrates the light entering the lens into a smaller area, which decreases the focal length and increases the aperture on the smaller sensor. It’s like increasing the sensor to an APS-C size. That means if you are using a lens designed for APS-C sensors, like the sensor inside the Canon 750D, it would not crop. So a 50mm APS-C lens would therefore be a 50mm lens on the GH4 with the speedbooster, and still you would get the extra stop of aperture. So after I did some research I went for the APS-C lens Sigma 18-35mm with aperture F1.8. That means, when I’m using it with the speedbooster and the gh4, I can film with aperture 1.2. So the low light problem is no longer a big issue.
So as a conclusion, I think this setup is exactly what I need. The Sony A7s is a really good competitor, but it doesn’t have the 4k recording inside the camera and it doesn’t have the same slow motion functions. You are able to shoot 4k with the Sony, but then you need an external recorder which is really expensive.
I can’t wait to test the camera even more. There will be a bunch of new videos coming up really soon and if you have any questions, feel free to ask them below, or at my Facebook-page.

What type of speedbooster I need for the lens & The GH4 please
I remember watching this video when I got my GH4 in 2015. Didn't have enough money to drop on this setup, but I finally have and I just got my Sigma lens and adapter in the mail today!
5 years old and still such a relevant video! Not even for the camera or lens anymore but just the useful info throughout and high quality footage
Fantastic video. The shot of the watch at 4:07 sold me. Thank you for making this.
what up jerry
+YeezysMiggz What up yeezys
JerryRigEverything nothing I'm just chilling. I'm a fan of your content :)
YeezysMiggz Heck ya. Thanks for watching! I ended up buying this GH4. Its my favorite camera yet.
JerryRigEverything oh nice.. but off topic I really wanted a apple iPhone 😟😟 you got your subscribers good😂 but I hope you will do a giveaway soon👍
Thanks for all the positive feedback :)

Andyax What's the rig you were using? I see no link :(
what a remarkable review. so much work put into this. really well done.
Hello Anders,
I have been shooting video professionally for television and documentaries since 1980, and I can't think of any young DP that has impressed me more than you did as I was watching this. It is the first of your videos that I have seen. You have amazing talent and I would say there are big things in store for you. Don't let anything get in your way from following your passion, you can do great things, young man.
This is the most incredible explanation of the speedbooster I've seen.
I heard about the speedbooster, and many people using it with the GH4, but I had no idea what the heck it did. With some research, I had some idea, but nothing was quite clear until your video demonstration showed me.
Thank you!
Same here he is awesome
I was looking for ways to peel soft boiled eggs and I stumbled upon this gold
lol
With a spoon
Now buy a speed booster
crack the shells mid boil. let water between the skin and the shell :) yw in advance
Great job. Seems like everyone is leaving the 5D.
Dave Dugdale That's saaad :(
+Dave Dugdale Yup, was a dream to the filmakers, but today even the blackmagic seems more reliable in some ways., forget the batery and you are dead :P
I never even made it there thank God. Went from an 80D to G9.
Horrible DSLRs for video. There are handheld camcorders (family vacation style) that can shoot better video than my 5D MkIII. And I only bought it 3 years ago, and I kept it in the closet for most of the time.
@@Princeton_James The 70D and 80D are a lot better than the 5Ds. I spent twice as much, and I got half the quality my friend had with his 70D. Canon has never been about video anyway...
This video was thoroughly engrossing, informative and beautifully put together.
The quality is just insane. Such an informative video. Definitely helps my decision to jump from the T3i to the GH4. Thanks!
GH4 just had a huge price drop! Check it out :) www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1185322-REG/panasonic_dmc_gh4_camera_body_black.html/BI/20363/KBID/15164/kw/PADMCGH4BFK/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xPADMCGH4BFK
Hi +Andyax!
Will this setup work on my G7? Thanks!
And two more questions:
1) Does autofocus work?
2) People says that this lens needs calibration. Did you have any problema with this?
Thanks in advance :-)
Andyax I want to buy Panasonic G85+Metabones Speedbooster MB-SPEF-M43-BM1+ Sigma 18-35 f1.8 as my CZcams Camera. Will this setup work technically ?
The quality depends on the primes you have.
Vintage is usually softer, esp. at the edges, but thus more cinematic.
I would try it before switching.
We are arranging a Film Workshop this May, and you are invited! :) See more here: czcams.com/video/U5BcRfTTUuE/video.html
Now I just have to convince myself to forget I ever saw this video and buy a camera setup I can actually afford...
13:50 - Just remember folks, even though it sounded like Anders stated the you will get the "same shallow depth of field and same focal length", you're still going to have a crop factor, and therefore NOT the same focal length. Anders should've stated that a little clearer. The Crop factor will be [.7 * focal length * 2]. So, if you have a 50mm, you would be shooting at a 70mm focal length [.7 * 50 * 2 = 70]. It DOES work perfectly, but you will still be getting a crop factor of 1.4x and will therefore Not be the same focal length as if you were shooting on a FF Camera. Please don't go buying a GH4/5 with a MBSB and assume you will have no crop factor.
Even my high speed internet service, cannot keep up with the detail that you have captured.
It would be great to watch this as you have intended.
turn on subtitles at 11:30, you'll thank me later
nice

That was hilarious!
Great quality footage! Not just the camera but the editing and the cinematic movements. Especially enjoyed the slow motion part for the cats and the dog. I also really appreciate your explanation on how the speed booster works in relation to sensor size.

Awesome video bro! Speedbooster & lenses are on the way thanks to your great video :)
Dude those night shots at the end where you were showing off the low light performance with the speed booster and 1.8 lens... OMG!!! Looks amazing. What image quality. That speed booster looks amazing.
Damn just watching this now in 2020 bc I think about getting the GH4 - and your review is just amazing!
I'm really lucky to see that your channel has probably grown a lot to about 300.000 subs now!
Thank you so much for this and all the hard work!
You just earned yourself a new subscruber!
you're video samples look like Hollywood quality
No they don't but they look good. Check out footage from a red, blackmagic ursa, or arri shot in raw. That is true hollywood quality. If you can't tell a difference, you shouldn't touch a video camera.
Peter Jackson If you can't tell the difference never touch a camera? Every filmmaker starts as a novice. Pipe down with your unnecessary elitism.
+Peter Jackson duuuuude, if you think filmmaking is only about resolution and bitrates then maybe you're the one who shouldn't touch a camera
True. It's also true that you can drive a Mercedes, you can win in Formula One, otherwise you can't dream so much...I am a colorist pro, to me it's amazing and even unbelievable how guys like Brandon Li or Yuri Palma can release their videos without an Arri or a Red in their hands, and the real point is that if you give 50K$ camera to them, you can have Top cinematography videos
This video looks like hollywood shots u r talking nonsense
Feel the every single shot man
u look realy friendly in ur videos dude , great info as well, taking ur time for explaining everything , that shows that we as audience are important for u,+1 !
Julio Ruiz btw i looked for the speedbooster and it says there are for nikon and canon , which should i buy if i already purchased the gh4?
Julio Ruiz Hi, if you want to use Canon lens's you need to purchase the Micro Four Thirds to EF speedbooster S adapter (its fully electronic to change the aperture in Canon lens's) Cheers, H.
+TheHowardski what if you buy this Sigma lens, which speed booster would you purchase then? Would it just be the same one?
Aside from the few technical errors, I really enjoyed this video. Nice work!
I've never seen such a delightful and thorough instruction and review video on youtube in my entire life. Beautifully done. The pets stole the show, and I laughed at your friend's outrage about the Panasonic. But the quality of your imagery !!! MAGIC. x
Hey Andyax! Great video!
I am about to purchase the same setup as yours, GH4 + Speedbooster + Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and I really need your help.
I done some research and I found that many people are having issues with the "vignette effect" when using that adapter.
Some of them were using lenses for APS-C sensor (as the sigma is)
So now I am wondering if the adapter causes you any vignetting when you are at 18mm. Thanks!
Beast man. You remind me of Salomon Ligthelm haha. I don't know if you know who he is, but look him up! He's a sick filmmaker, as are you!
Bryant Bural Thanks, I will check him out! :)
One of the most clear and informative videos to ever be uploaded to youtube. WELL DONE!
Your choice of music is phenomenal
Dope video! I recently purchased the Sigma 18-35mm lens for my GH4, and loving the quality thus far. But I am getting a loud rattling noise while recording video. Is there any way I can fix that loud rattling noise while using autofocus?
I also wondering about how This Sigma+Metabones influences work of autofocus (and as consequence view) for example in comparision with dedicated 12-35 panasonic lens? Could you write sth or recommend any video about that question?
Hey man, i stumbled across your channel and i think its great. you have created some killer tutorials that are easy to understand. I just ordered a GH4 (it will be here tomorrow!) with the speedbooster to shoot with my my L-series lenses. My question is this: how are you working with your 4k video and reg 1080 video in the same timeline in premiere? if i try working with mulitple size video, such as 1080 & 720 (from my iphone) for instance, it will be smaller in the video monitor unless i enlarge it, and vice versa depending on the settings i choose when i create the project. Any advice would be much appreciated! thank you all you do!
Josh Petersen Hi Josh! Thanks :) Usually I film in 4K with my GH4. If I want to add 1080 video to the timeline, I just insert it to the timeline, right click and press "adjust to frame size". I think you can turn the "adjust the frame size" on in the settings menu, so it automatically resizes all clips you add to the timeline. Good luck!
This worked great! thank you for the tip!
+Josh Petersen (joshpphoto) prob downscales his 4K to 1080p
+Josh Petersen (joshpphoto) To be honest, you would later on notice bad difference between two sources...
+Josh Petersen (joshpphoto) You create a 4K sequence and scale smaller res video to fill the frame.
Man the quality of this is amazing. Probably the best video i've seen on youtube. Fantastic job.
The information that is shown, and explained here is hands down the best I've seen, regarding this camera. It also finally brings home the understanding about cropping
Shallow Death of Field.
Norwenglish for the win.
Sverre Nilsen HAHAHAHA
This review is almost on the same level as Phillip Bloom's reviews.
Incredible video, I was in awe of your test footage with the GH4. I just bought a G7 and you've definitely convinced me to pick up the speedbooster + sigma 18-35!
andyax.. your tutorials are the best. it's very practical. I've been referring your tutorials as a guide. it's helping me more that my college.
Does the autofocus still work if you use the sppedboster and the Sigma lens?
Nope
***** nope, its 27mm-52,5mm, i own it for my 70D. I tested it compared to a 50mm on my 5DII, and it sensibly the same at the max focal lenght.
If you dont trust me for it : (last paragraph) =D
www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/sigma-18-35-1-8
50 or 70 is quite the difference, watch out when giving people information !
I know, I'm talking about The FF equivalent for the sigma.
Its an APS-C Lens, so the
18-35mm is equivalent to 27mm-52,5mm on a Full Frame sensor.
If the kipon (i dont know about it) doesnt change the focal lenght by magnifying or reducing it, then its still 27mm-52,5mm FF equivalent =)
I think you messed up by converting the focal lenght by 2.X, when its only a 1.5 crop factor.
The sigma is a Canon APS-C EF lens, not a m4/3 lens that direclty mounts on the GH4.
(18x2 =36, while 18x1.5 = 27mm)
*****
Hi , Adam, where can i find this adaptor? do you mount it on the spedbooster? how does it work? thanks, i want to be able to have the autofocus with the gh4 and the sigma 18-35
That view at 5:17
I just came across your channel while researching the Speedbooster. I purchased a Olympus E-PL5 last year just to take images of my expected child, but have since became very passionate for the art. I don't have a lot of money to upgrade my camera to a larger sensor size, so I was looking at this thing hoping it will help. This all said, I just wanted to say your video was not just informative, but beautiful! Your short videos contained within where captivating! Easy sub, looking forward to watching more of your videos.
That shot at 8:48 is why I don't have a cat. What an amazing shot though, to be able to capture a cat shedding, in the act!
Very well done.
I like your channel! ;)
yeah
Hey. I've been watching some of your videos recently, and I'm really amazed at what you do. Personally, I bought the Pansonic G7, which is much cheaper and also shoots 4k (3840x2160, not true 4k). I was wondering if I could use the same setup (speedbooster + lens with my setup.
you can, since they use the same lens thread.
Hello,
I`m considering buying the g7. I have 1 question: can you use a external monitor while filming?
Yep, there is and app for it. You can also control the camera using the app.
Whats the difference between the Panasonic G7's 4k and real 4k?
It has UHD, 3840 by 2160 where as true cinema 4k is 4096 by 2160 or something like that. Different aspect ratio. Although it's really not a huge deal.
This tutorial is the first I´ve ever seen from you. The way you show and explain things is frankly the best I could find on youtube. Much respect to you, keep up the good work and damn... I wish I had a GH4 like you!^^
This is the first video where we first saw you and Eskild. We miss Eskild. Cheers from New Zealand!
I don't understand how this works.
The Sigma is designed for APS-C sensors. The Speedbooster mentioned is to convert full-frame EF to MFT. How is there no vignetting on the shots without cropping?
0.71 is the factor mentioned at the website of the metabone. APS-C * 0.71 is smaller than the MFT sensor. So there should be vignetting.
Please help, we'd like to shoot in 4K, we already have the sigma and we'd really like to buy the GH5.
How is this working?
I had to dig way too deep into the comments to find this. I'm on a Sony a6000 and seriously want to know, too
Thats exactly what I am thinking about..
Any conclusion?
Math is all wrong - everywhere.
Still, it doesn't detract from Andyax's ability to create consistently good visual content :)
An image circle that will vignette on ff can still be substantially bigger than needed to cover apsc. Given that the sigma lens is has an image circle to cover Nikon crops at 28.4mm if you multiply by the focal reduction ( 0.71) you get coverage for _at least_ 20.1mm sensors. The gh4 sensor is 21.6mm so we just assume that the sigma image circle is a bit larger than what it needs to be. It still wouldn't cover full frame but it could, in theory (and apparently practice too, if the video is too be believed) work just fine. I doubt sigma built a lens where the edge of the image circle is just barely bigger than the sensor. I suspect they added a bit of wiggle room so that if Nikon changes there standard in the future just a bit, the lens will still work.
(And all this makes no difference if sigma designed the lens for actual apsc which is considerably bigger than nikon's at 30ish mm. Then the math works just fine).
Great video man. I just subscribed. I don't know if you get paid by Metabones, but can you give me your honest opinion? The matabones speedbooster is expensive as shit and there are some competitors on the market for around 100 bucks. Do I pay for the brand "metabones" or is there really a quality plus for their speedbooster?
Your video examples are so beautiful. What program did you use for color correction? And did you always use the Sigma 18-35mm in the video examples or did you use one of your EF-lenses as well?
I would really appreciate it, if you or anybody else could answer me. Thanks guys. Have a lovely day.
DUde Just do some research my god. The competitors adapters are adapter with no glass element meaning you will still get the 2x crop factor from the sensor. Jesus christ. It amazes me how uninformed people are. Just do the research like everyone else instead of relying on other people.
There are several other competitors (Zhongyi, Roxsen, Fotasy) that do have lenses to reduce the crop factor. There is even a competitor that has the additional electronics to allow the lens to send data back and forth to the camera body (Aputure Lens Regain)
if you had that attitude on my set you would be fired.
Numb Mowgli no the peter jackson guy who was rude to you
+Todd Szuch Okay, sorry then. Deleted my post ;) I was a little hasty.
I found this exact setup at a pawn shop for $456 dollars. Bought it and was surprised how much money it actually cost for all of the individual parts. Worthy investment.
Anders, you are a great filmmaker with real knowledge and a nice sense of humor. Loved the betrayal of Canon story. Keep it up!
The total cost of this rig is actually very expensive.
Well...if you check quality results from Benjiamin Aubray, Emeric and Yuri Palma...it's the best quality/price ratio available
First of all Thanks for the great Video. Since i already have the sigma lense you helped a lot with my decision.
There is just one question: Can you use the lens with focal length of 18mm? I've heared that the Sigma lense is not made for full format. So with the speedbooster it could have some strange look in the edges of the picture. Have you ever recognised something like that or do you think i can use my sigma 18-35mm without hesitating in any situation?
Andre Koschmieder Hi! I haven't noticed any vignetting. If you buy the new Speedbooster XL however, you may get some vignetting when shooting 18mm.
+Andyax Thanks great video love your work - is there a Nikon version
of the speedbooster. I own a D750 and love it for still photography and
own 4 prime lenses if I could use them on the GH4 for video that would
be great.
+mark shirley yes
This has got to be one of the best most in depth videos I have seen; very happy to find some quality on CZcams nowadays. I subscribed :)
Hey, I've been wandering around CZcams watching GH4 videos and I have to say, this was not just the most pleasant to watch, it was a beautiful experience in its own right! Great job! Subbed.
im sold!! or should i wait for the gh5?
Def. wait for the GH5 man, you'll regret it if you get the GH4 now
i bought a gh4 today and i wont regret it. i mean i paid 700€ and the gh5 is 2k atm
Hello Andyax, I have Panasonic GH4 with Lumix 12-35 f2.8. Im thinking about selling this lens and buying your build (metabones and sigma). What is your point of view? I like Lumix 12-35 image stabilizer and Sigma lens doesnt have it
i'm in the same situation
yea, for video this lens looks like a nightmare unless on a tripod
The Sigma provied IS since you use a Canon mount and the Speedbooster EF ot MFT transfers all electronic signals to the lens.
I use the sigma without speedbooster on my gh4 and without IS. Still works perfectly - you have to have steady hands
One of the best camera reviews I've ever seen. Thank you.
I'm your fan!! I've bought Gh4 and only after accidentally saw your video which inspired me totally! Thank you for your work and sharing it with us!
Skyrim belongs to the nords!
"together with the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 you are able to shoot video with aperture F1.2. " it's not really that good, sorry. You also have to multiply the aperture with the crop factor. Which is: 2 x 0,71 x 1.8 = 2.556. So compared to fullframe the lens is like a f2.5! It's not really a problem though!
wrong, aperture is not the same as deph of field!
Aperture does not change regardless of sensor size, because it is just a ratio. 1.8 is 1.8. What DOES change is the total amount of light used to make the image. Shooting 2.8 on a FF camera results in the same amount of light as f/1.8 on a smaller cropped sensor. So in the original comment, the total amount of light on the sensor at 1.2 is comparable to a much higher f-stop on a FF camera.
Jeremy Galloway that's what I was trying to say. So what Tony and Chelsea Northrup was doing was telling that to see the same results as FF both depth of field and amount of light: You have to apply the crop factor to the aperture as well.
DIYDOKU
Yeah I know! I was trying to clarify, my comment was directed at Kili Cruz :)
:)
The lens is actually designed as part of the SIGMA DC (crop sensor) range and has a stated range of 18-35mm with a maximum aperture of f/1.8 when used alone.
This video is just awesome! Very clear and concise. And I also want to say to you that you're so talented and your short movies are amazing! Thank you so much for this!
Hello Anders, please answer my question, i beg you!!! i need to know if this speed booster is compatible with canon lens? Because i want to buy it but i have only Canon Lens... Please!!! Thank you so much, your tutorials are great!!!!!!
What brand is this speedbooster? i am watching one of them in e-bay, really cheap, but is Viltrox. Do you know if this brand is good? Thank you again Anders. Can you give me a link please, for to buy the same Metabones you had?
Hi. I have never tried and never heard of Viltrox. I've only tried Aputure DEC LensRegain and Metabones Speedbooster. I recommend you reading the description of the video for more information. The Metabones Speedbooster I have is the MB_SPEF-m43-BM1
Andyax Thank you, but, both function with Canon Lens?
Jesus if you can't figure this out don't waste you're money. They make speedboosters for almost every lens make.
+Michael Roberts dude for real. It's insane how lazy people are. I took me like 15 min of research to know everything I needed to know about speedboosters. People are so fucking lazy these days.
The Metabones MB_SPEF-m43-BM1speedbooster in this video is no longer available.
It looks like the MB_SPEF-M43-BT4 works with the Sigma and GH4 and according to the Metabones website has been tested for autofocus. www.metabones.com/products/details/MB_SPEF-M43-BT4. I am going to purchase the BT4, I'll post compatibility results here.
+David Camarda *leaving my comment here to get notified when you post your results*
+David Camarda same here. Leaving my comment here to get notified when you post your results
+David Camarda Any updates David?
Waiting on these results
Guys - yesterday I recieved my Speedbooster XL for my GH4. I can confirm that there is autofocus but I would'nt really use it for anything other than photos or focusing a scene without movement. The Autofocus isnt really good and quiet loud with the speedbooster. Other than that everything works perfectly fine :)
If you got questions feel free to ask!
We miss you Eskild.
Finally a good review video. Seriously.
Plus the Blue Danube sequence was stunning and beautifully portrayed. Congratulations. Definitely subscribing.
Lumix G7 does better in Low Light conditions than GH4....
Does the G7 shoot in V-Log format?
I was only about low light and you confront me with V-Log format. okay.
FML it was just a question holmes
It has Cine-D and Cine-V profiles
TYVM xxxxxxxxxxx
4k.... 4k... 4k,.. it does not matter what camera you have, people that use the word 4K too much will never make anything good in their life's, they focus too much on technology and less on filmmaking itself. 5D2 5D3 GH4 A7S are all great camera's, peope need to stop making excuses and say OOooh i need 4k or oooh and i need this lens and that.
No stop BULLSHITTING and make a movie, your GH4 will become obselete in 2 years tops, get yourself out of this cycle and start making movies
Myself i shoot on 5D3 RAW
Rebassed while I do enjoy learning about moving from a pure video camera shooter Canon xa20 to a DSLR option, (looking to buy a GH$) what you say is completely correct. it's the Ansel Adams effect get images today on old technology. I have to laugh because we have 3 iphone6s in my house so we can effectively do a hell of a multicamera shoot without buying a thing - just use my H4n Zoom and Sennheiser shotgun MKE 600 and we are good to go tell a tale.
Rebassed I do not understand your problem!?
No problem I agree with you about the focus being on the story rather than the technology
Rebassed I'm comfortable compartmentalizing the two different conversations. The camera gear is a fun, left-brained subject matter to discuss (to a point). But no one will care if your story isn't compelling. Interest in the gear doesn't mean you discount story as an important thing.
In the same way, I like talking about car engines, performance, gas mileage, style and safety with a real car guy. It doesn't distract me at all from thinking about where I want to go in the car.
Stop bitching. What you're saying is complete nonsense. 4k is amazing and you can do great things with it. (Crop to keep something in the frame, down sample to 1080p, use it on a 4k TV! Oh the glory!
Beautiful video of the family beside the lake. Really told a story and created a mood.
Dude, this is some incredible footage you've got. Well done.
incredible how good these cameras actually were
without a doubt the best channel for filmmakers in youtube!
thank you so much for your videos! The time & effort you are putting in is inspiring.
wish you all the best from Germany!
Keep it up :)
9:07 The crack head following the ping pong ball is hilarious.
all what can i say that you are really a geniues man, i starded following you since i started searching more info about the Gh5 , i saw your comparition with Philip and it was really amazing. its all about how you have done with all those lovely things like shooting this great videos with the great music and great details. well done and thank you for inspiring me :)
I've been watching maaany comparisons videos between Canon5dIII a7s and gh4 but none of them gave me the information I needed... Thank you very much, for also going above and beyond to make this learning experience also a cinematic experience... you took the time in editing and color grading and taking good sound as well, unlike all the other people on youtube! will definitely subscribe
Thank you for explaining how metabones works. I never really understood and now I do! Bravo!
Excellent explanation for a layman between full frame and MFT camera. I m so glad I found your posting! You are a genius!
Anders, I find that your color grading work is perfectly on point. And I just profiled my monitor. Very nice work. Subscribed.
Awesome video!! You've nailed that rare combination of something that is thorough, informative, entertaining, and beautiful! Especially love to slo-mo pets :D Thanks so much for making and sharing.
Thanks for making this! the cropping is what was stopping me from getting this camera but now Im going to buy it with confidence.
I just bought my GH4. This is so informative. Thumbs up man, thanks for the incredibly detailed review. Thank you!
I've watched a few tutorials on GH4/5 cameras and speedboosters... this is the best one.
Very well done! Thank you for taking the time to make and share this.
I'm in love with the quality! nice video, thanks.
This is great. Now I feel more comfortable with the prospect of getting the Sigma lens and speedbooster for my GH5. Thanks.
Andyax - thanks for the excellent explanations of depth of field, etc.
I just got my gh4 in mail today. So happy with my choice. The image quality is great! And the camera itself is so easy to use!
By the way, great video!
You wouldn't believe how much money this saved me/ how much this helped me. Not many people display the potential of the gh4 quite like you did in this video
If a piece of photo realistic art on a wall could move, your 4K video samples would be just that :)
Hey mate! Thanks so much for this video!
I just bought a GH5 and was having serious buyers remorse...
I know this is a GH4 review but it reassured me that I made the right choice.
Thanks again. :)
Idk if its your color grading but your footage here looks a lot better than what I've seen from some other people
Very atmospheric footage of Norway! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Mind-blowing review, in every aspect. Thank you. Tomorrow I'm going to the store to begin assembling my GH4 setup & hopefully getting a few dollars for my old Canon.
Except for the night shots, this camera still looks good today.
This is amazing. You are an inspiration to new videographers like myself. I will be getting my gh4 soon (with S. B. and sigma 18-35)and i can't wait to play with it! Keep your videos coming!
That quality ... daaamn. Magical.
haha loved that little skit with your pal, dont know if i can trust you ! lol
This video is great! So much thought has gone in to it. Quality is superb
