For those who edit, Filmbox is not a cheap plugin but it's one of the best film emulations for the big edit apps. Anyway they just had an update to include Dlog2 and it works great - but it's an investment if you're not a pro-editor.
No affiliation, just noticed the update when chopping some footage together just now.
Does anyone use them handheld - or only when used on a car for rolling shots.
Was thinking of the 'handle' version as an option when doing walking/tracking shots but not really seen anyone use them outside of suction cup and vehicle.
Hydra mini looks great and ticks all the boxes but I can't decide If it will help much and then I've traded off the pocket-size, may as well use a ronin and my cine cameras.
Can anyone on the 'inside' let us know when the new bags would be available to view/buy at PD retailers in the UK. Also when the next batch of stock will arrive on the PD site for the new stuff.
Thanks!
After a week or so with the 4p I am wondering if it's too much of a PITA to be trying to obey the 180 degree shutter rule and manual exposure on the 4p.
I've got all the ND's, I've set my custom 1-5 with various settings of frame rates and Dlog/Dlog2.
I've always shot manual but the messing around with the settings/fiddling on the screen (if I am not hooking my phone up) is already a bit of a drag.
So I ask you. Shoot full auto, say 4k 24p / 50p and then throw it all onto a 24fps timeline and add 'fake' motion blur later? then just not worrying about it on the shoot.
Thoughts?
I use a calibrated screen. My iPad is also colour calibrated (I’m a photographer rather than a complete tech weirdo) so i think my colours would be as good as I can get them.
I can’t understand how each bag i look at on the PD website seems to have variation even with the same colour-way between the different lines.
Take the City Crescent in stone on the new line of bags. The product shots look almost khaki, and then compared to the weekender is stone looks totally different.
Obviously different fabrics will be different. Then there’s an inset photo of the crescent but it looks to me like the ‘moon’ colour-way but could possibly be the stone?
I’ve seen a couple of photos from people who already got the new backpack in stone - this looks more cream.
Then i see a video on socials with a chap going around with it and looks more green/brown again. In the socials PD put out with people dancing around the office the Stone looks like it’s grey /slate colour.
This is why i always end up going for black!
Or not fully launched yet?
IMO this is the more interesting of the bags - and possibly nice and packable.
Can’t decide if it’s more ‘female’ orientated. I like it though. Like a better version of the packable tote that lives in my bag whenever I travel and it’s ALWAYS used to carry bottles of booze and snacks from the nearest store to my hotel when i get somewhere.
I’m clearly being stupid.
When I connect the Mimo app to the pocket 4p - I join the network etc then when it connects and the icons appear in the bottom of the app I press the camera icon but the gimbal goes into playback mode and the Mimo app shows the image library on the osmo.
I’m sure it didn’t do this with my older osmo pockets so in may have ticked something or an option.
How do I get the thing to just open like it should. Ready to shoot on the mini app/ viewfinder setting.
Please tell me this isn’t by design?
I know there's a lot of talk about it being a bit off a pain to switch lenses if shooting DLOG2 and digging around in menus to go there and back with Dlog for the tele lens and DLog2 for the Wide.. so I was playing with Custom settings.
You can set C1-C5 and it remembers the DLOG / DLog 2 settings . I have C1 set to 4K/25 DLog and then set C2 to 4k 25 DLog2. Then the 'C' button can be configured to switch between custom 1 and 2 - so I can flick from Dlog/Dlog 2 . Sadly it wont remember the lens setting but at least I don't need to go into Menus.
I've set the others as I want - so three other custom settings.. C3 - 4k50 Dlog. C4- 4k 50 DLog2, and C5 is 4K 25 DLog2 but manual exposure settings - with 800 ISO (base for DLog2 and 1/50 shutter speed. Custom profiles remember the exposure settings.
Makes it a little easier.

Moderate newbie - not massively technical so please be kind.
I've been playing around with the Theos system and struggling to figure out what length to cut the antennae to on the TX / RX units. On the card they supply they dont seem to cover channel 38 for the UK range 606.500 - 613.500
The guide shows me 550-608, 608-663, 630-698.
I've acquired a set with antennae that are pre-cut and marked at 630-698 so they are not covering the licenced range - but there's about 4mm difference between the 630-698 and 608-663 markings. I have another set that I cut to 608-663 which I assumed was the best option for UK use.
I assume there would be some range loss or something - but should I just crack on and not worry about it?
Does this even make sense?
I think it's the latest update that's causing the touchpad to behave oddly. Seems the swipe command works great - volume etc - double tap etc - but no way to hold and invoke the AI.
I think I've read it's a bug in the latest software that causes this - I have 'hey meta' off - but when I long press the touch pad nothing happens - sometimes the white light appears as if waiting for a command - then nothing. No beep etc.
It kinda stopped working suddenly which hopefully means it's a firmware not hardware issue and seemingly remembered someone else having no response from the tap and hold feature.
Tried a couple of resets too - nothing. About to reinstall the app and start from the beginning but suspect I'm wasting my time until the bug is fixed.
Genuinely not sure what I should do for the 2 legs. I usually go Aisle but then no window to lean on (or people to walk past me etc)
I know it's an age old debate and I'm not sure why I'm undecided - but it's a long-ass journey and I'm trying to make it as pleasant as possible.
Been playing around with different pouches and stuff I have for my camera gear - thought you'd like to see what I discovered.
Company called CRDBag make interesting stuff for the cinema/photo market including various pouches etc, but I just got some of their 'bricks' and they seem to be a good match for the weekender.
You could get easily 6 (3 per side) of the full brick possibly 8 if you lay them horizontal. The mega brick is a tiny bit too deep but would work as long as you didn't mind the central divider being pushed inward.
Guess the Brick is about the same size as small packing cube - but these CRDbags can all be labelled, there's also hook and loop so you can use other tags - and s clear window to slip in some paper with what's inside on.
They are great for my cine kit -so I'm hoping someone finds this useful. I may well get a couple more too for my bags.
Not a rep/affiliate, just sharing the love.
Almost 2 years old. Mobile case fabric started to peel.
Filled in warranty claim. New case in 24 hours. Absolutely brilliant.
And - even more brilliant was that I actually forgot to register it when it was new but I had the receipt and the serial number so registered it, then got a new case.
Top top work. And no. I don’t work for PD or paid to say this- although to be fair I do own most of their bags.
Finally got my weekender in sage from a UK retailer (park cameras if anyone needs to snag one) and it’s a beauty.
I spent ages looking for the little serial number card to register the bag. Seems like the eco friendly way is now so stitch the qr code into the bag itself.
Fine. Im all for saving the planet but at least make the tag easier to scan. I practically had to push the bag inside out where the label is to get it to scan/ take a photo/ see / the serial number.
Bring back the little cardboard printout I say.
Hey all.
Am I to assume that the only difference between the models is the gimbal head? Like will 3rd party accessories designed for the handle (grips/cages etc) world fine with the 4p? They LOOK the same from images online but you never know 😄
I just posted but was removed but it was removed for the wrong reasons. So I need to explain but without the trigger words!
When I press the spacebar there seems to be a delay. Sometimes works sometimes doesn’t. MacOS latest version.
Seems to take two or three presses to get it to register.
Or I have to click around and then press the spacebar.
Doesn’t seem too bad when use the speed editor to stop /start.
Is this a common thing?
Hope this posts gets past the auto moderator!
Is there any news about the weekender coming back into stock? Or coming into stock for the first time.
Do you kickstarters have yours?
I’m weighing up the new Peak Design Weekender but on looking for similar / alternatives for air travel I stumbled on the Waterfield Air Porter. Clearly not as roomy but wondering if any one of you baggage addicts has one and can add their thoughts.
