✅ New video about lighting with this camera here: th-cam.com/video/JVKbJTAefKI/w-d-xo.html
I always recommend this camera to anyone looking to get the best value for the best results. Great vid Nigel!
Man, I gotta say I really appreciate you shooting and making content around smaller camera bodies like this. This industry is super dominated by over-the-top cinema rigs - which I love, don't get me wrong - But it's important to understand that not everyone needs a camera to be ultra kitted to still get pleasing video. I shot with a GH4 from 2014 to 2019 and have a soft spot for minimalist video rigs, I guess :)
One of my favorite cameras of all time. It's the only one I regret getting rid of. If Panasonic had better auto focus or an apsc sensor in it i'd switch back in a heart beat.
I got a G85! Keep making videos about it! There’s a lot of us out there.
Just bought this camera and loving it. Like your setup tips. Thanks to you I also just bought the GH-3 used for my B camera. Really enjoy your channel!
Great video Nigel! I watch, and learn a bunch from all your content. As someone who is looking to get their first camera your recommendations are great, not only on cameras but all the gear you use. Thanks Again!
I love my Lumix G85 this camera is still rocking in 2021
I just bought this camera a couple months ago, been super busy being back to work so I haven’t used it much. I got the same cage, I got the smaller “RED” style top handle and a Lilliput A5, with the top handle and monitor they sit right over that right hand side cold shoe so I bought a side handle with a cold shoe for the cage so I can add a mic, the whole thing built is much bigger than I wanted. I may swap out some parts for stuff with nato mounts so I can change it up more quickly on the fly. Great video though, cool to see so many others still using this camera.
Very cool! I like how compact it is!
I was waiting for this video 🤩
I have needed this video for a while now. Thanks!
Awesome videos! You are a BIG help, thank you!
I love this minimalistic approach for rigging up a camera. Did it very similar with GH4, GH5 and, sorry ;), the ZV-1. But with one addition you maybe like too: A magnetic loupe for the screen. I reccommend the brand "kinotehnik". Great for outdoors and stability. Sometimes i use a pistolgrip too, then it almost feels and looks like an old Super8 camera :-D !
that's such a cool little set up. I want to set up my 80D in a cage like that for shooting a short film
These are such great cameras and I bought mine when it first came out. I don't like the mic port being in front of the screen when I flip it out, and that has me liking the G9's placement of this port so much more. Regardless, I'll be holding on to the G85 until it dies. *Hello from Tokyo.
The g85 is just fantastic for the money, recently I got a gm5 as a back up and now my g85 feels bigger to my hand XD
Ok you made me want to try one. Just to experience something different. Maybe I’ll rent one. 🥂
Thank you so much. Liked and subscribed
Thank you so much 👍
natural all dialled down was exactly how i shot with that camera too. it will be interesting to see what they do next with that model. imagine it got the new color science from the BGH1 and GH5 II? even the latest AF updates panasonic released for those MFT cameras are really great. still have my doubts on the future of MFT but can’t deny it’s power to price ratio.
Oh look it's patrick tomasso
Yeah for sure, if the next model was still at the price point as these consumer end cameras but with the AF of something like the S5 and maybe even cine-D2 or something that would be sick!
@@NigelBarros you are the best , i appreciate every video you make. thanks for getting up in the morning and have us on your mind. these vid's are something special .
G85, my first love
As a G80 owner I'd never recommend shooting CineD with contrast at -5. The 8 bit file does not hold enough information for that and you'll get more noise and banding. Always keep it at 0.
I love these G85's.. I have 4 of them all with Small rig cages for my livestream company and the Standard picture profile for live broadcast is epic. Would you release any luts that work best for this camera based on your picture profile settings?
The g85/g7/gh4 in there standard and natural picture profiles produces some of the best straight out of camera images. Unfortunetly the newer s series of fullframe camera from panasonic doesn't have a good standard or natural picture profile, but the cinelike d v2 on the s5 and s1h is the best.
@@imabigsandwich1292 As an S5 and G80 owner I much prefer the colours from every profile over those from the G80
@@Aviciiz The s series cameras have a weird desaturation in the shadows with their natural and standard picture profiles, I think in canon pro cameras you were able to adjust it in a setting called "low key saturation". But cinelike d v2 does not have any of those problems, very stunnig colors and highlight roll off. I basically shoot vlog for video and cinelike d v2 for photos.
@@imabigsandwich1292 I agree with you that the desaturation looks pretty bad. For video V-log is best and CineD2 is probably the best 8 bit profile of any camera i love the shadows and highlights. For photos I use the landscape profile. Similair contrast to the standard but with much more saturation in the shadows. You should give it a try!
bom video mano !!!
For some reason, the SmallRig G85 cages have disappeared off the face of the internet. What else would you recommend for a rig?
Nice video. What’s your export settings for g85? like at what bitrate you export for youtube?
I shoot with a Sony a6400. But some reason want to add a G85 or G95 to my arsenal. Ibis, weather sealed, cheaper lenses, & Panasonic colors. 🤔
love your vids man! I cant find a cage for my g85. no shop sells it here in Germany :/
How well you think a G85 could pair with an S5 as a b cam? Recently got an S5 and not sure if I should sell the G85…
Hey brother what’s a good lens for starting out with this camera you think?
but my question is why you need a 4K video whats the advantage and which lens did you use?
Have you used this camera together with the olympus 12-40?
Im thinking of making a small rig for my G85 I just picked up a 14mm lens for it this is my first dslr camera i recently bought from a friend of mine what lens and cover do you have on your rig?
I have been wanting to start making short movies and i am wondering what the lens is you were using in this video. I have a super low budget and I know nothing about cameras...
Man, I love your videos. Have you done any cinematography work in movies/tv?
Not in movies or tv, mostly just operating for other channels and I was a cinematographer for a non profit for many years. Before that I was a skate filmer
@@NigelBarros you definitely have a bright future with whatever you choose to do. Thanks for making these videos man, it helps young filmmakers more than you can imagine
nice
🖤💕Good luck
And what about the step-up Ring? It would be nice to watch a vídeo from tou, about It!
Hey man would you recommend this camera or gh4 ?
Man, I would really like a video about fixing Cine-D
It’s coming!
Use hue vs hue in lumetri to push the skintones from yellow to red. Done.
Please make a video about how to focus using g85
DSLR videoshooter mentions that Natural with all the settings in -5 is better than Cinelike D with the same settings because of its artifacts that doesn't allow to recover details in textures. What is your opinion?
Yes I think he is spot on. -5 on CineD looks horrible and you'll have even more trouble fixing the colours. Natural at -5 looks much better
Hi what lense is that? Thank you
What lens are you using on this rig?
Out the G6, in the G85...
Brother I'm sorry to ask such a stupid question, but I'm new to cameras. I am a film student who has specialized in working in 3D (Blender, Unreal Engine 5, etc). My question is this. I LOVE the Panavision camera used in the 1980's on films like Predator and Blade Runner. I am trying to figure out what kind of camera setup today I would need to make something that could replicate that exact same look from the 1980's. Do you know of a budget friendly way to do this? Or am I expecting something unrealistic?
If you are not looking for 4k 60 , any type of 10 bit OR any type of auto focus..this camera is amazing..I kinda want it lol
Definitely, as a quick content creation tool I love it!
@@NigelBarros ya the used price it is amazing
So tiny and cute xD
You have all your updates?
Is the G95 a big NO against a G85? I really like that they moved the microphone and added a headphones jack, but everyone keeps saying it sucks vs the G85. I'm looking to buy my first budget dslm, can I ask for opinions on that, please? (just please don't tell me the g9 or gh5 is better, i know, but i can't pay for those ;-;)
G95 is a good camera for sure, but just not a worthy upgrade from the G80. Also they put V-log L on that 8bit camera which is a joke. Other than that, if you like it you can buy it
Ok you got me interested in this… I’m looking more so at the G95 because the price difference isn’t exponential. But here’s the thing… autofocus…. Has it been updated in these cameras like it has on the GH5?
I have G9 and still can’t rely on autofocus, even after the last update, it’s better even on my iPhone.
If you need a good autofocus then probably the whole Panasonic family isn’t the best option for you.
Yeah Hubert is right, I wouldn’t rely on AF for most Panasonic micro 4/3 cameras. They’re full frame line is better but obviously more expensive, the talking head portion of this video was shot on the S5 in continuous AF and it worked out pretty well
Blake, I think the G95 has a tighter crop in 4K, so maybe check that (if that's an important issue for your shooting). The slo-mo of the G95 is a nice feature to have, though (not present on the G85, but is on GH4).
Forget autofocus on this camera.
I'm trying to get your attention
3 years a u made a video q&A in that u told u use canon 80d with eoshd c-log. Can u tell me is it better than Cinestyle or not..?
thank you.
The flatter image can give slightly more dynamic range to work with but not miles better than cinestyle or visioncolor
@@NigelBarros so eoshd us better than both of them. And can u share the value of these
Sharpening. __________
Contrast.__________
Saturation.________
Color tone.________
In eoshd c-log.
And does c-log would work in canon m50 with luts since the bitrate so much lower around 30mbps
Hi Nigel! I’m a new subscriber and I’m from Philippines. I would love to know if you recommend the gh3 for a aspirer filmmaker in budget weddings. I’m convinced on the vids that it is a good camera for its price and has good options of wide lenses that I think I can learn from. I hope you notice this :)) God bless
Yeah the GH3 is still a great option but with cameras like the g7, g85 and even the m50 it’s hard to recommend it in today’s market.
Thank youu Nigel 💙 I think I will buy it and learn more from it ☺️ Thanks again and More power to your channel!!! ☝️
Why turn the Sharpness all the way down? I've heard people on other channels recommend to do the same thing for other cameras too.
Digital sharpening looks very “video/camcorder” like. It’s better to add sharpening yourself in post.
I rig my G9 the same way
What is the purpose of the cage? Is there a way to have top handle and mic on a rail in hot-shoe and eliminate the cage?
You can easily mount a top handle and a mic by using a Cold Shoe Extension. In fact, that might be the better option if those are the only two accessories you're trying to mount (I personally have a top handle with an included cold shoe that i mount my microphone to, which makes the setup even easier!). The cage is only really useful if you need to mount lots of different accessories on your camera, as well as providing a little bit of extra protection to the camera body. Hope this helped!
lens?
I should have purchased the g85 instead of the gx9
Does this have a different product name in Europe? I can't seem to find the exact same reference :(
Could be named G80/G81 in Europe.
G80 en France et G81 en Suisse
For anybody getting that SmallRig cage, better hurry because SmallRig doesn't make 'em anymore. Once they sell out at retailers, they're gone for good.
Bummed this set up can't accommodate a monitor in a streamline way
if wanna buy new camera i go to sony cameras it have very sharp 4k video and great autofocus
What's up😃 The used market for a comparable Sony (similar specs) is about twice the price of the G85, as of right now anyway, but you're right about the auto focus being better, etc.
sad that this 1950 rig is basically obsolete at this point.
do any other poor people considering the g85 for it's price feel a little picked-on whenever he refers to it as a "little guy"? like bruh 😅
