Re: Second camera to GH5 (for video)

V-log is for matching to raw V-log footage taken with professional movie cameras such as from ARRI or RED.

The V-log result from the compressed format of the GH range is not great, the profile is too flat, but it does mean it's easier to match to a main pro cameras shooting raw V-log.

If you are not also shooting with a pro cam / raw, you shouldn't use V-log.

Use Cine-D on all your cams, Cine-D is flat enough, with manual WB and they will match well. As the shooting angles between cams will be different that will be what most people will notice - as different. You'll need to adjust some brightness & colour anyway.

You can also use a color-checker card, with each cam. Not all software has the ability to calibrate from a colorchecker, though plugins can. You basically place the plugins calibration over the shot of the colorchecker card and it 'normalises' the colour and tone content of the card. This I don't think is necessary, one for the purists, but thought I'd mention it. I use ColorChecker Passport.

Mainly just use Cine-D.
