Niche tool for professional videography

This is a fantastic imaging device. It records full 12 bit raw video at 4k, and can simultaneously record h.264 Mov files. There is plenty of dynamic range about 13 stops. It is however not a replacement for a proper camera. Here are things you need to know before purchasing. 1. You will need a wired video adaptor before you even think of using this as a professional tool. The wireless connection is just too dicey. 2. Internal fans are loud... really loud. If you plan on recording nice clean audio on set, don't mess with this thing. Now if you are recording in a noisy environment anyway, you may be okay. If you are shooting anywhere someone yells "quiet on set" before shooting... forget it. 3. You need ALL the accessories to make this worth your while. Especially batteries. You can get by without the focus wheel, but not for long. 4. If you plan on shooting real estate, you will need a wide angle lens. There are not many fast wide angle lens options for this thing. The ones that exist are not cheap. Plan to spend 500 bucks or so on a decent one. Over all, I love mine. It is used exclusively to get dynamic, moving B-roll shots. While it is loud, it is also small, so you can shoot in places where another stabilization option just wouldn't make sense. As long as you have a specific need for THIS device grab it. Otherwise you may find it a bit too limiting.Read full review
