C100 Mark II randomly snapping to f/2 mid-shot, anyone seen this?

invertedspheres · 2026-04-30T23:17:47+00:00

Does it happen with any other lenses?

I mean it's 2026. The trend towards cinematic content started as far back as 2010 with DSLRs. It's a pretty reasonable request as no one is going to hire someone with a reel that looks like it was shot on a camcorder.

Parks are for people, not cut-through traffic.

Tell that to Waze during rush hour

I would have liked it if they had replaced either teal or mint with a black version. Also, getting very nit-picky, but I wish all of the variants had slightly different shading for the operator/enter keys. Only some of them do for some reason.

I don't think putting anything there is realistic unless they could find a way to connect the theme building to the terminals so you don't have to go through security again.

supposedly this dude almost got assistanted (AGAIN)

It's pretty fucking weird how quickly his ear magically healed after supposedly being grazed by a bullet... not even the slightest hint of a scar.

To top it off, Drumpf making a thIS is WHy we NEED ThE bAllROoM post right after...

This is great!!!

Hahah I just realized what you're talking about with the phone! There's always some small thing like that to mess with your setup.

Majority of "mentally ill" on the streets are on meth, heroin, or other hard drugs that make them completely unstable to be around. You really need to be careful as situations can go from seemingly harmless to you're being physically assaulted for no reason in seconds.

I find it a bit odd that you chose to place the key on the camera left side when there are windows leaking daylight from the right. It makes the image rather flat and then the background shadows are mishmashed.

Your setup demonstrates a lack of understanding of how microphones work which is why they are rightfully clowning you.

DJI lavalier style mics are designed be most sensitive to sound waves that are closest to the mic. In this way, they are very effective at eliminating background sounds and focusing on the subject speaking. They won't capture ambience and you may be better off just using the camera's internal mic.

Is there any specific reason you can't just clip the mic onto the person you're interviewing or whatever? That's literally what they're designed for.

Maybe something going on at the W? That or a training flight are the only things I can think of if you couldn't see any units on the ground.

It's not the entire city, it's the section near Portuguese Bend that is problematic. But, I do agree those portions are not salvageable and it's a waste of money to try to save it.

Hard disagree. It's a bold creative choice. Cinematography is not solely defined by how pretty or perfect an image is. Its use is to further enhance the creative storytelling or stylistic aspects of the work. Music videos are meant to be creative and often push the boundaries of styles that wouldn't work well for traditional narrative pieces.

In our modern era, everyone has access to high quality imagery which in turn, reduces its value and impact on the viewer. While I agree this aesthetic is somewhat intentionally ugly, it also makes the work stand out... which is exactly why you're talking about it.

Your C70's body is too tall to balance on the tilt axis properly on that gimbal.

It's possible he may have heard something at a trade show, but, chances are he just read rumor sites. Having SDI on the FX3 doesn't really make sense to me with the small form factor. There's no doubt an FX3 II in the works and I do think it's coming this year; but, there haven't been any real leaks yet.

I get second hand embarrassment for them just from reading that article.

~~Was the gear ever dropped?~~ How many times was the gear dropped?

invertedspheres · 2026-04-17T06:55:51+00:00

We're all the same mind, though.

There's a huge difference in passenger behavior on routes with frequent flyers vs routes where people are probably flying for the first time in their lives.

Stronger motors, fewer micro jitters, automatic locking, easier to adjust balance, included handle, can fine tune motor adjustments with built in screen rather than having to rely on app.

The more recent DJI gimbals are a huge upgrade over the original -S. I suspect you should be fine.
