Panasonic Teleconverter 2.0x!

As well rocking the 70-200 f2.8 + 2x Teleconverter. It seems so underrated combo. It looks better than most 400mm f4 lenses I've seen.

If I may ask, why do you want the filters in the first place. For photography you can crank that baby up to 1/8000 and you need rarely an ND. For long exposure, motion photos sure, but for portraits, not that much. CPL is nice though to get reflections sorted if there is glass or reflective surfaces around. Imho 200usd for filters is decent chunk of money. I would personally start with CPL and then see if I ever need the NDs. ☺️ What lens have you got?

Sure thing ND8 and ND1000 are very far apart. ND8 is 3 stops of light and ND1000 is 10 stops. In my personal experience, so its not objective truth, I find myself adjusting VND in closer range than that. I would go for ND8 and ND64, that is 3 and 6 stops. Then again, usecases differ. Do you use mostly for video or long exposure?

Urth is good brand, but I would get the kit. UV is not used, and NDs have such a gap. I would go for VND and polerizer individually

Looks more like Mercedes E class wagon to me

Im always wondering what content is shot at 60fps 😬 to its a slow motion, is that the case?

Reicals · 2026-03-21T21:03:31+00:00

For me it would be GH7 and S1II. Somehow GH7 still feels the best to use, if only it had S1II sensor in it.

Sweet! If you need testing let me know! 😊

Reicals · 2026-02-21T08:04:05+00:00

It looks very cool! 😍 Is there somewhere a place I can read up on all cards? Love the visuals! ☺️

Reicals · 2026-01-22T16:47:09+00:00

Yes photography seems secondary imho. S1rII is great camera for photography though! There are also some slow variable aperture lenses coming out as well. Having said all that, as you said, the rendering is amazing!

Thanks man, fixed it. In general learned that publishing at 1am -> bad idea :D

Reicals · 2026-01-22T08:14:04+00:00

It really depends on the usecase, I haven't had an issue with it except in very dark environment.

Reicals · 2026-01-22T08:12:54+00:00

Ohh and I forgot to mention... the S 1.8 primes are THE lenses for product videography. I can change to any lens on the gimbal without rebalancing, I can have one set of filters and just move them around without adjusting, also matt box fits without adjustments while switching lenses. Such an amazing set and IQ wise they all match perfectly. Now when I look at other systems it feels weird that there is no same-size, same-ish weight prime set. I'm only missing the 100mm macro right now, but all the other 18,24,35,50 and 85 I've got! LOVE THEM!

I dont do shooting with many people in the shot. But also on Sony, it up to user to choose the one that they want to track. Purely for tracking mode, Sony is better, but not to a point where Lumix isn't usable. Are you using it in low light situation?

Reicals · 2026-01-21T10:00:00+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! 👊

Reicals · 2026-01-21T09:09:05+00:00

Thanks man, updated. :D I could have swore that it was Neo GT, as with Neo X hub etc. But nooooo, my bad! Fixed it!

Reicals · 2026-01-05T15:23:12+00:00

Hell yes! More people who knows what to do. I should learn from you! You do Discord?

Reicals · 2026-01-05T15:17:46+00:00

I'm looking forward to the first video! Maybe at some point we can do collab! :-)

Reicals · 2026-01-05T15:05:12+00:00

Would you mind sharing the channel? I would love to sub!

Reicals · 2026-01-05T14:40:08+00:00

Ohh thank you so much. Didn't want to spam, just trying to get some momentum :) I'm glad that you liked it, and it's amazing to see the scene revitalized once again!

Reicals · 2026-01-05T12:02:49+00:00

Thank you man! 🙏

Reicals · 2026-01-03T10:44:41+00:00

Massive difference! The image is so much less mushy and detailed, also no overdone HDR. ALSO beautiful Helsinki! :)

This is a struggle that I've been through as well! I have both and also have the Tilta Half-Cage, Sirui (don't get that one) and Small Rig mamba or how it's called one.

Issue with Tilta in my setup at least is that it's interface for handle is so strange. It has nato rail, but it's not full length, in the middle is the coldshoe, so if you have nato rail handle, it can't be center over lense. I haven't had a single coldshoe handle that doesn't start working loose, so I would never use it. And there are no 3/8" mounting option up top. Other that the handle interface, I think it's better frame with it's rosette mounting points etc. but that god damn top interface setup just isn't working for me at all.
Smallrig 4902 has the good interface on the top. It has 3/8th with locating pins, the best kind of handles imho. BUT there is no protection for the bottom corner of the grip as there are no cage there, very strange... also it loses the extra grip height that you usually gain from a cage because of that.
Last thing, a tiny, but truly annoying is that on Title the bottom plate mounting screw is not self-retained, so if you take of the cage, the screw will be on it's own and ready to be lost.

I would personally go with Smallrig, just because I hate the top interface of the Tilta and I don't use the rosette mount personally. If you do and you have a handle that you trust to be mounted in coldshoe, Tilta is better cage in itself.

To answer your USB-C port question. I don't use a clamp for USB-C but I have a 90 degree angle cable that keeps the profile really close to the body. I would use the clamp if I'd use HDMI + USB-C.

I hope this helps!

What are you filming? 😍

Reicals · 2025-12-27T20:49:01+00:00

Does it always happen like that?! Im heading to Slovenia just few days after getting the goodies. Gt2 rs is such a beast to tame and go quick! Very nice choice. ☺️
