Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S + SmallRig Handheld Rig

Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S + SmallRig 2646 for Panasonic Lumix GH5/GH5S

The DC-GH5S from Panasonic is a video all-rounder and delivers excellent image results. The system camera comes with a Digital Live MOS sensor with 10.2 megapixels of resolution, Venus Engine and Dual Native ISO technology, with which even the darkest image areas can be faithfully reproduced. So you don't have to worry about background noise. Two analog circuits are separated into low-ISO and low-NOISE for specific noise reduction before further signal processing. This achieves a maximum sensitivity of ISO 51,200 in low-light mode. With extended ISO setting, a maximum sensitivity of up to ISO 204,800 is achieved.

Videos can be recorded in 4K at up to 60 fps. To let your creativity run wild, you can now also record in Cinema 4K (4,096 x 2,160 pixels). The recording time is only limited by the size of the memory used. Thanks to 4:2:2 10-bit recording, all the subtleties of color-graded sunsets and sky scenarios are rendered. This prevents banding, which is common with 8-bit. In the area of guerrilla filmmaking, completely new possibilities are achieved through the high performance. Under Photo Style, you can select Hybrid Log Gamma, which lets you reproduce light and dark as the human eye sees them.

You can take pictures with multiple aspect ratios. The focal length doesn't change in 4:3, 17:9, 16:9, and 3:2 formats as 10 of 12 megapixels are used. In Cinema 4K, 4K and Photo modes, as well as in anamorphic mode, this feature is selectable. This allows you to make the most of the lens angle, resulting in impressive videos. Variable frame rate lets you shoot faster and slower videos, so you can let your creativity run wild.

Timecode IN/OUT functionality helps you work with multiple cameras and synchronizes audio visuals and recordings. A 3.5mm microphone jack allows for LINE input. This allows you to feed sounds from external audio devices for more efficient video production.
