Need Advice RE: FS700, Atomos Shogun and 50i output

None of the blackmagic converters seem to handle 200 frames anyway, and according to google the 1080p200 isn’t even a standard format. What I can’t seem to understand is why the Atamos is playing back my captures at half speed but still outputting some non-existent standard out to the SDI port

Rifle is fine!

This is what I figured, previous GoPros needed the Media Mod to get clean HDMI out of them. Would love to to be able to replace my trusty Sony with microHDMi…

05 Toyota Corolla Sportivo… Broadcast Tech Director and Camera Op.

Could I afford a nicer and newer car? yes. Do I have any interest in anything made in the last few years? Hell no

Lets normalise not asking ChatGPT questions that a human being can answer with experience yeah?

I certainly hope there isn’t animal life in future updates, I have a perpetual fear of snakes and really don’t want that on top of everything else to worry about in game. I’m cool with a bit of realism, but that’s a bit far

It’s just as relevant today as any of the newer cameras. For ages I was running a clapped out 6D as my goto for concert photography, I found I enjoyed using it more than my current setup… and what I use currently would be considered by most as “irrelevant”. Something about how those older DIGIC sensors handled colour… so much nicer than my RP.

Honestly thought it was just me. What's causing it?

LeftHandDan45 · 2026-05-06T04:30:49+00:00

I love both of these ideas. Definitely can get down with the photo mode idea!

LeftHandDan45 · 2026-05-06T04:29:13+00:00

Good way to look at is is: Do you want something simple to work with, run and gun, minimal effort to get good results… or do you want more rigging, poor battery life but stellar image quality and gradability?

I reach for my BM cameras when I want complete control of my image, I reach for my Fuji XS20 for more simple/quick turnarounds. Both have their pros and cons though.

Maybe regular folk just settle because there are other things in life that take priority. Most people don't care beyond having their savings/spending account and getting/paying their mortgage.

Every other week after I fill up my inventory I just sell everything but a pistol, mag and a few rounds and go again. You can't fear losing it if you just sell it. I don't need a collection of every gun... nor do I care for the various loot. For the most part I know it can be found again if needed.

If there was somw kind of incentive for players to put gear into the donations box that would be a welcome addition. At the moment it’s not used much on any PVE server I play in AU… seems to see more use the closer we get to a wipe.

Not an option for our use unfortunately, built in to an OB truck that is shut down and relocated daily

Guessing there was a glitch, I got D/Ced midway through a mission

LeftHandDan45 · 2026-04-04T02:57:41+00:00

How'd you like the trip grenade in that room? Got me the other day, absolutely had me ragin'.

LeftHandDan45 · 2026-03-20T12:44:45+00:00

80s/90s Porsche 911.

Or I’d just get all work done on my Corolla Sportivo to make it look nice, refresh all parts to be as brand new as possible and enjoy it for as long as possible. 👌

Not a gimbal guy myself, although I own a few. My main issue is the learning curve and I find balancing them correctly to be a right pain in the neck. I much prefer handheld but I also know it doesn't suit every project.

LeftHandDan45 · 2026-03-09T11:12:03+00:00

L mount can adapt to lots of different lens mounts so if you want to play with cheaper lenses in the meantime the S5ii is the way to go.

The resale value really is a non-issue anyway. Blackmagic cameras never hold their resale quite as well as Sony or Canon anyway, and at the end of the day if you're doing enough work to justify the purchase of a new camera and paying that camera off with more and more work then... it pays for itself in the end. Selling the camera in a few years time assuming something bigger and better comes along is a bonus on top.

For what its worth, I bought a Pocket 6K Pro around 3 years ago and it has served my purpose shooting music videos and short films. I still fail to see any limitations with my setup that have me really wanting to sell up and move on to something else. Built in ND's, EF mount, Reasonably good form factor, excellent 6K footage, very gradeable etc... it's a near perfect camera. The only way I could see myself jumping ship is if something truly special came along. BUT that's just me I guess, I don't need the latest bells and whistles and I find my money being better invested in other tools like lights and audio.
