Haven’t been able to test my new lens yet. Weather and other life obstacles getting in my way.

Re: 24GM...hoping to make it my next addition. Optically the Sigma 24mm would suit me well, but I just don’t want a heavy lens when a smaller lighter lens that’s just as good is available.

Hah I was sure you got the 24. Now my guess is that you got something that rhymes with "some dirty chive"

I rented the Sigma 24 a couple months back, its smaller than it looks, but still large for an FE prime.

24GM is notably smaller. I don't consider it compact like the Loxia is, but its a manageable size for everyday shooting.

My latest acquisition being tested, test footage included

I got the weebill lab, very quirky gimbal, lame build quality, but the features are super interesting. Also have a variable ND, and I dont like it's behavior, so will need to measure how many stops I need and get a solid.

Cool video Charlie, that’s one busy fishing pond! I like the keyed transitions near the end and the last clip is a nice way to end too

Looks good Charlie. Nice, smooth footage and nicely put together. You can always tell if I like a video because I'll watch until the end, and I did

it's called frame blocking, where you have actual objects masking scenes.

currently my favorite transition

you need to take into consideration when filming

Here’s the first video of our Florida trip which covers the first 4 days. Going to have to do it in parts as it’s already 6 mins long in this video. Haven’t started editing the next one yet

Two super family videos...love'm both.

I'm envious that I didn't have the same capabilities when my family was young. My grandkids video their kids using a phone mostly now.

What camera was used for the indoor shuttle? IQ seems good

I do plenty of phone videos and I’de say current phones are even better than dedicated camcorders 10 years back. Assembling a watchable video can be more challenging, and probably the biggest barrier into creating videos.

I remember when camcorders recorded to tape lol, I have a box of tapes never converted. Almost like 35mm film

For any low light stuff I use the Osmo pocket so that I don’t need to mess with the low light settings on the GoPro. There’s a bit of noise at times but it’s always smooth.

With regards to assembling a watchable video I really can’t do it without music. I tried one with just the clips but it gets boring fast. I can only imagine how much more boring it would be for others watching it

Very watchable Eddie. So many memories being captured.

hi guys, i have a quick buffer question,,,,ok long story short i normally shoot with a fast sony 100mbs card, anyways it was full and i didnt have time to format before an event so i popeed in a slow class 10 old card, i was happly shooting away in single fire mode then the action got more heavy and i turned to med burst mode,
i could see my bursts taking time to wtrite to the card which i never see with the sony card,
now i am editing the photos i see i am missing some of the photos i know i took,,,, if the biffer was full and i kept firing would the new photos taken while buffer was writing be deleted or not saved at all??
its a mysery why i am missing some photos i knew i took, i know i had focus and flash fired but the photos are not on the card,,,, could a slow card cause this issue,,,, i am stumped and thats my only answer.,, any thoughts

I'm digging the lighting and the colors

Great vids Charlie/Eddie.

You guys really make me want to take video more seriously. Just so many mental blocks around it. I am shooting random clips with the Osmo for documentary purposes, but never do anything creative with them.

Thanks Carlo. If you have an iPad powerful enough (or an iPhone) I highly recommend giving Lumafusion a try. It’s only £20 and it’s what I’ve edited all my videos on. I personally find it easier editing to music so I pick the track first then do the cuts on the breaks. You will be surprised how quickly the random clips start to form an interesting video. I’m still a total novice but it’s quick to pick up and highly rewarding
