Daniel: “As before i helped smallrig in the co-design of their new l-bracket/half-cage. The last one the smallrig 2122 is used a lot. The new one at current pre-order prices comes with many new features and extra (free) parts to make it a half-cage and is only 5 euro or dollars more called the smallrig 2236.. I did a review (long) and even a update with some extra tips on a pre-production unit. My guess is many of your viewers might want to save some money since the 30% off will be gone once they start shipping 19feb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpaEi2s3P24“
Jon:“Hi, So many say Sony’s codec is bad and they hope the a7s III has 10-bit 4:2:2. I shot with Panasonic for years, and those 10-bit files take up lots of hard drive space. Not only that, but I could never get the colors I wanted. I’m not saying Sony shouldn’t have 10-bit on their next camera, but since I shoot for Web delivery, 8-bit is more than sufficient for my needs. https://youtu.be/XKNuVq2npXs“

Cyclopsoptics announced a new Clip Filter for Sony APS-C bodies:
STC Astro-Multispectra Clip Filter for Sony APS-C bodies is a novel light pollution filter designed by STC Optics with transmission characteristics designed by professional astronomer and renowned astrophotographer Dr. Wei-Hao Wang. Check out the comparisons below to see how effective the Astro-Multispectra filter is!
Placing the light pollution filter closer to the sensor reduces color shift that may occur at the peripheral areas of the image if front screw-in lens filter is used.
Highlights
Greatly reduces interference from artificial lighting in city
Suitable for Sony APS-C mirrorless with camera lens of focal length 14mm or longer
Natural colour representation
High transmission for astronomical bodies emission
Co-developed by STC and Dr. Wei-Hao Wang, a professional astronomer and renowned astrophotographer
* Please refer to compatible camera list below
Features
Clip Filter is designed for Sony APS-C cameras. Mounting and removing the Clip-Filter is quick and easy. The colour shift problem that may occur due to the wide angle SLR lens in peripheral areas of the image could be reduced. The recommended SLR lenses focal length is 14mm or longer on APS-C bodies.
The material is A2 stainless steel which is virtually non-magnetic and less brittle at low temperatures. Specially designed Clip-shaped structure could be pressed firmly while attaching the lens on camera body.
STC Astro-MS Clip filter can reduce the interference from artificial lighting in the city, and enhance the wavelength of Hα, Hβ, OIII and SII. (Hα=656.3 nm, Hβ=486.1 nm, OIII=495.9 & 500.7 nm, SII=672.4 nm)
It is coated by the use of the IBAD (Ion beam-assisted deposition) technology on Schott® B270 optical 2mm glass, working for higher durability and easily cleaning, and preventing aging variation in optical spectral characteristics due to temperature and humidity change
High-quality double-sided NANO Anti-smudge coating provides excellent performance on waterproof and grease-proof capability
Considering the different optical lens properties of all kinds of brands, it is normal for spherical and coma aberration to occur on part of the fisheye lens, super wide angle lens and wide angle lens.

Chris:“I used the a7III and a6300 in this “Man on the Street’ spot for VISIT FLORIDA, shot in Toronto. Lenses were the 16-35/4 and Tamron 28-75, all focusing handled by the a7III’s amazing AF – two hours of interviews and b-roll and the camera lost focus on the talent once for a second. It refocused almost immediately. Also temps were about 15f, I shot 90min of video over the course of 5-6 hours on a single battery, switching the camera off between takes. It showed 9% when I swapped in a new battery. https://youtu.be/qP091xQotIg”
