Z Cam E2-M4 Review | Getting Started Guide for GH5 Users & Doc Shooters

A bit of a weird title, but this camera is so robust, that I understand my specific use case will be welcomed by some and irritating to others. This video is part 3-month review of the z-cam e2 m4, and part getting started guide for anyone considering "upgrading" to this camera from a GH5. If you're looking for a comprehensive, feature-rich review of the E2-M4, this isn't for you. I'm specifically speaking about using the zcam for doc filmmaking. And as a GH5 user, I'm going to be directly comparing it to that camera. ============================= LINKS ============================= Z Cam FB Group -   / zcame2   Z Cam Handbook - https://redux.vip/z-cam-handbook/ ARRI: Preventing Damage to SDI Outputs - https://bit.ly/3xsfCkF Z Cam ZLog2 Curve - https://bit.ly/3aLziqd Download Z Cam LUTs V1.8 here - https://www.z-cam.com/lut/ ============================= CHAPTERS ============================= 01:56 - RVLVR Grip 02:43 - Beware of V-mount batteries 04:04 - OEM Lenses are cheating 05:16 - Get lenses with IS 05:48 - Record/video menu confusion 07:28 - Multi-aspect sensor w/ 1.9x crop 08:47 - S16 aspect ratio isn't exactly an ex-tele mode 09:40 - XLR Audio - use a sensitive mic 11:55 - Audio clips at -3dB 12:37 - How to bracket your audio 13:56 - Don't monitor from camera - too loud 14:46 - Atomos Shinobi is a better choice for doc filmmakers 15:24 - Amazing Rolling Shutter Performance 16:01 - incredible ISO performance 17:04 - Exposing for ZLog2 21:30 - CFast are most reliable media 22:24 - Can unload files via USB cable 22:51 - Up to 8 function buttons 24:18 - 10 bit variable frame rates 25:13 - closing thoughts ============================= RIG PARTS ============================= RVLVR Right-Side Remote Clutch Handle with LANC Camera Control - https://bit.ly/3sz4bEK ​ Z Cam E2-M4 - https://amzn.to/2PuINmc Metabones speedbooster XL - https://amzn.to/3aKdeMp Canon 24-105 f/4 IS ii - https://amzn.to/2QEWorF Angelbird CFast Z Cam 2-Pack - https://amzn.to/3u39xcE Atomos Shinobi - https://amzn.to/3dT6Kgq Andycine Shinobi Cage - https://amzn.to/3vp3QWI Nitze 15mm Rod Monitor Mount - https://amzn.to/3ns7Cvr SmallRig Cage for Z Cam E2-M4/S6/F6/F8 - https://amzn.to/3tXOeck ​SmallRig Baseplate 1674 -​ https://amzn.to/2QAsa9c SmallRig Chest Pad - https://amzn.to/3nnKIpa SmallRig 15mm Rod Clamp 1995 - https://amzn.to/3tYZXHs SmallRig Carbon Fiber 15mm Rod 6" - https://amzn.to/3aF3Rh6 SmallRig Carbon Fiber 15mm Rod 12" - https://amzn.to/3aM46a6 ​​SmallRig Top Handle 1984 - ​ https://amzn.to/38cypFY ​​Powerextra Multifunctional Battery NP-F9XX - https://amzn.to/3uborh3 ​​ ===================== CONNECT WITH BRYCE ===================== 📷 Instagram:   / storytelligent   🐤 Twitter:   / storytelligent   🎧 Storytelligent Podcast on Brand Storytelling: https://apple.co/3a5bs86 https://spoti.fi/3oBloOT 📰 Monthly Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3yl7NNU 💻 Website: https://mcnabbstorytelling.com/ ============================= DISCLAIMERS ============================= We are a participant in Amazon Associates, affiliate advertising programs.
