DJI Lidar - Panasonic LUMIX GH6 Autofocus Upgrade?
My goal was to see whether the DJI LiDAR Autofocus is a worthwhile upgrade to give you usable autofocus on the Panasonic GH6? In this video, I test and set up the autofocus system with the GH6 and the Ronin RS3 Pro. I show some test footage and share my verdict on whether I would continue to use this setup!

    I love this combo. Using it about 2 years. I have switched to GH7 recently and considering to buy 75mm. The lens flares are ok but the veiling they produce in very contrast scenes is not always wanted. The flares looks good in futuristic/urban enviroment but I dont like them when people use them in wedding videos or nature. It is just my taste. But overall the Sirui 35mm F1.8 has amazing image quality. I really like it. Another thing I am considering is getting Sirui Mars kit those flares are not so prominent especially on 24mm.

    Thanks for the video. Can you adjust the sensitivity of the Active track, so the camera doesn't move with SMALL movements by the subject? Meaning, can it be set so that the subject has to mover further before active track starts to move the camera?

  • @mikes_perspective6580
    @mikes_perspective6580 11 місяців тому

    So basically, it doesn’t work with the sigma 18 to 35? I was considering getting the LiDAR focus for that set up but now I don’t know what to do.

    • @LennardSmith_
      @LennardSmith_ 11 місяців тому

      Yes, my understanding is that you need lenses with hard stops for the LiDAR calibration. I found this on the DJI forum where a few people have some hacks to get around this limitation, but I haven't tried any of these yet, and not sure how well they would work, but thought I'd share anyway: forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=235065

    Seems like a lot of hassle just to be in focus.

    • @LennardSmith_
      @LennardSmith_ 11 місяців тому

      That's a good point to add! I wouldn't recommend this setup _just_ to get better focus on your camera. But if using the RS3 Pro is already part of your setup, then adding the LiDAR focus could be worthwhile for you.

    • @marinrealestatephotography
      @marinrealestatephotography 11 місяців тому

      Yes, it DOES look like a hassle. But... if you shoot with Panasonic cameras with contrast-detect AF only (or shoot with manual focus lenses), it's either this or pull focus manually (or, buy a Sony camera).

    I would pick the GH6 or the G9 ii. I have two GH5s and a GH5 ii. I shoot primarily live theatre, concerts, and dance shows. I already have a pretty good collection of MFT glass. I also appreciate have cameras that are easy to match while editing.

  • @motebike
    @motebike Рік тому

    Correction. If you still don't know it by now, the GH6 does not shoot in open gate 60fps. It's actually 4K with the illusion of looking like a 6K format.

    • @intellatek

    No battery grip for the gh6 is really killing it for me. Im pretty done with jerry rigging power solutions. I think all cameras should just have 12volt barrel connectors now. Btw on the 6kpro 1 battery is about an hour and ive gotten 3 hours with the grip which is pretty nice.

    With our work, the GH6 is the best choice. We produce a lot of PSAs, commercials and events. The stabilization and high frame rate options allow us to shoot in 4k 120 for everything and let's us get silky slow motion on demand for any scene. Interviews we just 5.7K and cropping in looks much nicer now. The low light is improved dramatically and with just a touch of noise reduction onboard, there's not much grain at all. The ONLY gripe, which doesn't affect us, is autofocus pulsing, which is still a thing. This is because to get 10bit, high frame rate etc, requires a small sensor or it overheats like all the other full frame rigs. I'd love to have the bokeh of full frame, but honestly, using a sigma at 1.3 or 1.1 F stop gets me there most of the time and isn't worth the other tradeoffs. For us, when funding permits, we'd like GH6 for field, and Canon for interviews (or other full frame). Some other cons, no live streaming built in, which should be for this type of camera in 2023, and the AUTO WHITE BALANCE is terrible as it shifts while recording and doesn't lock on resulting in terrible results for editing later. I'd buy this camera again no problem.

      @nonprofittvnetwork3528 Рік тому

      @@myenglishgig5182 I'd look at the R5, but it really depends on needs and budget. The options are crazy and if Canon can just solve the overheating issues, they could own the market. Don't know why they just didn't add a fan as most people could live with that happily instead of limitations. Anyway, it's great to have all these options and prices are not bad at all considering the capabilities and time we get out of them

    For my needs the GH6 was the best fit, I need good Stab, Open gate 4/3 so I'm not having to rotate the camera and reshoot for social, For my main video content (walking tours) I need Deep DOF even in lower Fstops, so the MFT or APSC fit the bill there. I was able to find the focal lengths I want in MFT for much less than in APSC or Full frame, Just in the lens costs I saved more than the cost of the camera itself. Is it perfect? No not even close. If money hadn't been a factor I would probably own an A7s3 but after the body and lenses I desired it was well out of my price range for a hobby that doesn't make me money yet.
