B And H Eclipse

[0.04 lb] Purchased Panasonic Lumix GH2 from B%H. Sound was the question with clarity. I owned Sennheiser ENG Wireless Mics. But the miniplug to the camera was the problem. So a friend(sound engineer from Germany who is working with us advised me to look for a SC25 3.5mm to 2.5mm Stereo Output Cable rather than trying to buy a expensive separate microphone for the camera. So I bought and works fine. So I am happy in the end. Thanks to my friend and B&H for helping to have the accessory part.

[Yes] 2017 Eclipse

[0.03 lb] Great of the eclipse

[None] Not used it yet..I'm sure it will help the experience of viewing the eclipse.

[0.07 lb] Worked well for the recent eclipse in the US.

[1x Barrel Input] I purchased a XF705 from B&H approximately 7 months ago. I have been waiting patiently for a FCPX upgrade to allow the H.265 files to be ingested to FCPX. Good News...with the recent upgrade to FCPX, ver 10.4.7, I can import the XF705 H.265 files directly into FCPX. I am running macOS Mojave, ver 10.14.6. My iMac computer was manufactured in late 2015. I have to use proxy files for editing, otherwise my computer hangs up.

[17 μm] Excellent camera, lens, and gimbal. Have only used h.264 codec even so the images are quite nice. Here is a link to some video of the bear mountain bridge i shot with no post color manipulation. https://youtu.be/_vV2VKpMios

[0.275 lb] I purchased this camera knowing that Adobe Premiere Pro would not import H.265, but I thought that Adobe would soon fix that problem. Sadly that is not the case as of this review in March of 2019.  I have been using my Atomos recorder as a work around.

[Dual Channel] Been a while since I have run AMD but I am not disappointed. In Davinci resolve it can encode 1080p30 h.264 video at 3x realtime speed. It can encode 4k30 h.264 in realtime or sometimes a little faster. I didn't use the stock cooler and opted for an overkill Noctua one instead.

I think I was one of the first ones to order the GH6 from B&H (right at 5pm when it became available). I love this camera. I have 2 GH5S's and I wish I had 2 more GH6's instead. V-log L in the Gh5S was too noisy so I use HLG and get a beautiful, low noise image. But the GH6 in V-Log or HLG are a step above when exposed correctly. Very clean. I have shot in prores @ 5.7K and in H.265 @ 5.7K. The H.265 is a little hard on my desk top editing computer (10 core, water cooled i9). But Prores plays like butter. The only thing is with Prores @ 1.9G per secound, my Angelbird 512G CF Express card only has 34minutes but in H.265 it is over 5 hours. The 1.3G per second Prores records for 54 minutes. Big difference! I recommend the Angelbird 512GB AV PRO CFexpress 2.0 Type B SE memory card for $180.00. It will record all the speed hungry codecs. Most people give this camera a hard time because of auto-focus. I don't care about auto-focus. I have 3 Meike primes, 16mm, 25mm and 35mm and a DZO 20-70mm zoom. Also a Olympus Pro 12-100mm lens. It is my walk around photo lens although I some times use it for video too. The more I use the GH6 the more I love it. Maybe down the road I'll replace my GH5S's with Gh6's. I can always wish can't I.
