Off The Mark

Good news! The back pain from sciatica will be hardly noticeable once the pain from arthritis in your knees kicks in :)

My first thought is that if lighting is going to be good, then maybe a camcorder would be good. If you are going to shoot handheld you will want great In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) Do you mean ...

If you bought a GX85, then I am guessing the size / portability is important to you. If so, then adapting manual focus lenses is going to be anathema to your owning a GX85, as they could be larger ...

Absolutely, but a good professional steamer would be best. Hopefully the shop owner will have a good one on hand. Also, how do you get water stains out of a green screen? Spilled tap water on mine ...

Sounds good, and congratulations on getting published in print!!! It's always a thrill. The best thing when shooting for a client is always the pre-shoot communication. So as long as you guys are ...

Well... if all else fails, just use your iPhone :) The reality is that either the G9 or the Nikon Z camera you have are capable of making GREAT video, even if there is an "auto" video function (Not ...

Sounds good, and look forward to seeing the results. And remember: practice makes perfect, so if at first it isn't awesome, well, consider it a good learning experience. Do remember that the ...

This is true (to a certain extent). Panasonic could certainly make their cameras smaller, lighter and more affordable if they were to leave out things like their advanced video capabilities, since ...

I haven't noticed the same battery drain with my S5.

You are welcome, and good luck with everything. But before you even BUY a fluid head and leveler, just make sure that you are really going to be needing them. Meaning, they are really only good for ...

More miscellaneous thoughts since you are NEW to video... - You probably want to shoot in 1080p resolution as it will be easier on your computer to edit and will take up less space on your SD card ...

Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like fun!!! If she is going to be doing fashion, my gut reaction is maybe you don't need a gimbal right away... As I mentioned above, the G9 has GREAT built in ...

What will the videos be of? Will it be of dancing? And what sort of products does she sell on her Etsy store? I would generally agree with Andrew that a good tripod with fluid head might be the ...

My S1 still drains, but I don't think it will last more than about four days before it is dead flat.

Thanks for the photos and for sharing your opinion. Much appreciated.

Nice!!! How does the Panasonic lens focus on the E-M1 MK III???

Nice!!! Another great thing about turkey vultures is that they do NOT attack my RC Planes / Drone, unlike the Hawks around here in Northern California are prone to do. My two biggest fears when ...

I just got an E-M1 MK II about a month or so ago, and it is one of the most enjoyable cameras to use. As an aside, I always find it funny when people complain about the E-M1 MK II being too big or ...

Nice Capture!!! Didn't know about the Indian vulture crisis. Sad to hear since they serve a real important role (especially in a country like India which has so much rural area).
