Watch this Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera modified to feature an articulating flip screen

Share

Within the chinese Filmaker.cn forum user “Power_cheung”. Newsshooter writes:

The screen is mounted onto a custom dual-axis hinge which allows the screen to not only pivot up & down for selfie view but rotate out from the base position. Unfortunately, there is no option to invert the display so your image is upside down when using the screen in selfie mode.

Power_cheung states that the modification may be made public with only minor modifications required to install the screen. He also states that you could make further modifications by removing the original screen, creating space to mount an SSD drive, or support a larger battery.

Olympus 2019 financial report released: Imaging segment with -19% revenue and 17,1 billion YEN loss….but forecast is still optimistic!

Share

Olympus released the full 2019 fiscal year report. And while the company as a whole did well the Imaging Segment suffered some severe losses:

-19% revenue and 17,1 bilion YEN loss

But there is a big one time cost included in these losses which should bring some benefits in the next year: The production has been moved from China to Vietnam. That’s why the 2020 forecast is rather positive. For the fiscal year 2020 Olympus expects:

“Breakeven to be achieved in the latter half of FY2020 due to production transfer to Vietnam and the launch of new products”

See the Imaging forecast here:

And this is the forecast for the full company:

Indeed those are not good results, but the company seems to be confident they can do a lot better this year! Now bring on the new E-M5III and other new MFT cameras and lenses :)
