    DJI Mini 4 Pro - anyone have one?

    I was out with my camera just practicing and got approached by someone with a drone and we had a chat, off the back of that I bought one (mini 4 pro) and I love it. It will not compete with a professional camera (however it does compete quality wise with my gopro 10) and where I live at least I...

    Secondary camera recommendations

    Hi all Back for more advice I'm afraid - ages ago I posted about getting a blackmagic pocket 4k video camera and tripod recommendations - after a lot of saving I did end up with a pocket 4k and a gopro. For the most part I love both - the BM Pocket4k camera is great for video, not so good with...

    tripod recommendations

    That's interesting and used very affordable, if you were to stick it on a hill, not a mountain but reasonable british hill for a landscape timelapse, on a day with a little breeze (not gail force) do you think it'd hold? I'm surprised given the weight of my BMP4k and it's lens combined that it...

    tripod recommendations

    Thanks for the suggestions, don't mind getting s/h just a bit - I've even thought of 3d printing some sealable 'ballast holders' in case if I need additional :) I will have a look thank you very much!

    tripod recommendations

    Good morning all :) Thanks for advice on previous topics, namely lens suggestions for my black magic pocket 4k, we've slowly been expanding the kit, have a few lenses and even got some ND filters to help play with settings especially during daylight. I do a lot of timelapse videos, and one...

    Blackmagic Pocket 4k lens on a tight budget

    Apologies for late responses, thanks for the links - that's very interesting. Also i've bought the glidecam, it hasn't come yet but for £30 how can I say no? If it helps that's something :) I've managed to get some shots which following processing in resolve, for an newbie like me I'm...

    Blackmagic Pocket 4k lens on a tight budget

    I get exactly what you mean - the Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) that you linked to came today and even to an idiot like me it is worlds apart in controlability. This lens you recommended initially seems quite reasonable for money paid. I haven't been able to do much...

    Blackmagic Pocket 4k lens on a tight budget

    Mentioned it to my parents who threw a camera bag at me (mum used to be into photography), some interesting Tamron lenses in there but I don't think they'll be suitable, adapter apparently is arriving today (wasnt expecting it for a bank holiday) so might be able to have a play before the one i...

    Blackmagic Pocket 4k lens on a tight budget

    I have noticed that, I presumed it was down to my technique (totally new to this) I don't think the BMPC has any kind of constant autofocus (though you can press the button) so I think it's down to learning how to do it manually properly :o

    Blackmagic Pocket 4k lens on a tight budget

    Sorry for the late reply, unfortunately I've not been able to do a lot with my camera because workload has exploded (joy of self employment, grab work when you can) In a panic, because I wasn't sure with some of the suggestions on here whether I'd need an adapter, I bought after reading a few...

    Blackmagic Pocket 4k lens on a tight budget

    Sorry if this is a cliche thread or a repeat subject :/ I have done some searching :) I've just taken the plunge and bought a Black magic pocket 4k camera to learn a bit of video work beyond my gopro, It needs a micro four thirds lens, and whilst I'm going to save up for the best I can, I...

    Any of you use a Bridge camera as you main camera ?

    I actually also, like the OP have a AZ401 I never mention it because obviously it's not really pro (that said neither really is my gopro, which is my main device now). One day I will upgrade to a black magic pocket 4k (more into video than stills) but the AZ401 does allright for stills...

    Photograph it NOW - boring photos can be interesting

    I have a lot of time for sentimental photos - our world changes so fast and if you think about it, it's only really relatively recently we've had the power to record it. Storage is 'cheap' these days, particularly in digital form so why not, I spent many hours looking at photos of things that...
