Robbert: “This may be interesting to some of the readers of sonyalpharumors. Yesterday I did my first production combining footage from the A7RII and the DJI Inspire 1 Pro (X5). I recorded with the sony in Super 35mm mode with a 24mm E-mount lens in AF mode on a DJI Ronin M. Shot in the Cine2 profile and it worked beautifully together with the footage from the drone.
All worked great and we had a blast making my first video using aerial footage. Here is the link to the video: https://vimeo.com/143479222”

Jonathan: “My visit to Turkey was just a day long, walking the streets in a caffeine-fuelled haze. But I’m glad I visited, just barely scratching the surface of the thankfully peaceful side of a troubled country. Turkey Album.
Russia is also troubled, of course, but there were no indications in St. Petersburg, where I spent a week with my friend Vladimir, who flew up from the Siberian city Ekaterinburg, Russia’s third-largest.  The architecture and history of St. Petersburg were fascinating. North America has nothing comparable.  The subway systems in St. Petersburg and Moscow are also impressive.  People move in a smooth, uninterrupted laminar flow.  I wish we had such an efficient and highly-used system in Los Angeles.  But what really left an impression on me was Russia’s character.  Once you get past the requisite public frowns, people are truly warm and the culture is welcoming.  I even began to enjoy salted frozen pig’s fat accompanied by vodka and sometimes dried horse meat.  On my way to Mongolia, I made the most of my 9-hour Moscow layover by visiting Red Square and the Kremlin. Russia Album.
Mongolia represented Matt’s and my third trip together, bringing travelers from around the world.  We had a full tour with 12 people from 5 continents, and in spite of some weather woes (an early snow in the Gobi, brutally windy and dusty conditions at the Eagle Festival in the far west, a cancelled return flight to Ulaanbaatar), everybody held up remarkably well.  Unfortunately, my brand new camera did not, and I just sent it in for repair.  I hope to get it back before I head to the Amazon in two weeks to Valle de Candamo, known as the “Last Jungle without People.”
