Amos:I just published a story shot with the GX8 (plus 40-150mm Olympus, 12-35mm Panny, 25mm Leica & 15mm DJI lenses) on the mountain shepherds of Georgia. The story has been used by several different media around the world, and was selected by Buzzfeed as one of their top examples of photojournalism.It will be the last story I shoot on the GX8 (I just bought a GH5), sincerely hope that’s not the last of the GX line!

Jacob:Just did a review of the iFootage Electric Ray E1 which lets you run GH5 from USB power, thought it might be of interest to your readers: http://jacobjamesphotography.co.uk/innovative-gear-ifootage-cobra-monopods-electric-ray-review/

Gary:Heya folks…. thought you’d be interested in this short video made with the GH5 at a new private terminal for celebrities at Los Angeles International Airport. First, here’s an article about the terminal itself in Vanity Fair, and its reason for being.
https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/08/inside-the-private-celebrity-friendly-terminal-at-lax
And here’s the video itself. It was made entirely on the GH5, using the Zhiyun Crane and Benro Aero4 tripod. Lenses were the Voigtlander 25 and Panny 12-35. Used Adam Wilt’s Field Monitor app extensively to optimize the GH5’s limited dynamic range… was essential to making this possible. Edited in FCPX and graded in Davinci Resolve 14. Music is a cover we produced of the Zero7 song “In the Waiting Line” (from the film “Garden State”), used with permission from Universal Music.
The cool thing is that all the equipment to shoot this video fit into a carry-on bag that I brought with me from where I live in SF to LA. Hard to believe you can make a film like this all with carryon!
