You know, the more I think about it, the more I can't shake the feeling that the Panasonic G80 is just the best budget cinematography/film making camera you can get. I know the GH6 is mindblowing - but I'll only ever use the high end features on it very, very rarely; same as most serious cinematographers I think - when you get good at your game, you realise that simplicity is usually better.
I picked up a GH6 pretty much as soon as they were available, but to be honest, I'm starting work on my next project soon and it'll involve a hell of a lot of travelling - starting here in the United Kingdom, then France, Portugal, Italy, the Caribbean, into South America including Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Ecuador, then onto the south sea islands, China and into the middle east and to be completely honest, I'm thinking about just taking my two G80s with me. They're smaller, lighter, can do a good majority of what the GH6 can do - all the important things are covered.
Panasonic, I've got to hand it to them, they got it so, so right with the G80.
Great video, brilliant to see so many people getting so much from this great camera.

Thank you Aaron! I would say that it would had been the best budget camera if Lumix had given us the possibility to upgrade it with a V-log profile. Although the natural profile (with all settings to -3) can produce great things with some color grading.
Good luck for your trip, but can I suggest a G80 and a GX80/GX85 when a smaller form factor is needed.

What dummy battery would you recommend using to adapt a sony NP-F with a DC power connector to use a Blindspot Power junkie

[@fredr.]

As far I remember for the G85/G95 we don't have much choice than the Andoer DMW-DCC8 with USB-C. Just make sure that your adapter USB-C to DC12 has the necessary voltage for the camera. I tried to adapt USB-C to USB-B but it never worked.

This video is pointless if you don’t tell us what the gear is dude. Give us some links or names or anything dude. I mean come on.
