If you follow this blog, you'll know how obsessed I am with using my Rokinon Fisheye lens as an Ultra Wide Angle on the GH4 (or BMPCC). I'm not a big fan of the warped spherical distortion of a fisheye, so I like to correct the distortion by using a Plugin by FCPEffects. This video below was shot with a GH4 + Rokinon 7.5mm Fisheye Lens, but you'll notice how the distortion had been removed and it looks like an Ultra Wide Angle Lens.

Right now you can get this same plugin (and many many others) on a #CyberMonday Deal using the following promo codes.

50% off any purchase with code: BF50
60% off purchases over $49: BF60
65% off purchases over $99: BF65
70% off purchases over $249: BF70
75% off purchases over $449: BF75
80% off purchases over $649: BF80

TIPS: Correcting the fisheye distortion works better on the GH4 as I tend to shoot in 4K and export to 1080p. This allows me to make changes to the image while still maintaining a very high resolution. Now that the new GoPro HERO4 is also offering up 4K video, i'm using this plugin twice as much.

If you want to remove a lot of distortion, instead of increasing the value, try stacking the plugin more than once. You'll get straighter lines over a single instance with higher values.

I just received news that the new and much anticipated amazing DJI Inspire1 4K Video Quadcopter will be delayed on it's release. Apparently there are a few things that need to get worked out. At this time there's no ETA on new shipping dates. My only hope (like many of their previous product releases including Ronin) is that they drop the price before it actually ships...

After months and months of waiting, the CAME-TV 8000 heavy duty gimbal is finally available for order, in stock, and shipping. For anyone who shoots with a Canon C100 sized camera or larger, your choice for a gimbal under $2K had been limited. The 8000 is now available for just $1980.

While the new CAME-TV 8000 was designed specifically to handle RED, Canon EOS Cinema C100/C300/C500, or BlackMagic Production Cinema Cameras it can still be tuned to work with smaller DSLR systems. Here's a recent video showing it's stability with a Canon 7D DSLR.

Unlike the 7xxx CAME-TV gimbals which share similar parts found on other kits, the 8000 has been exclusively designed completely from the ground up. New product photos have replaced the prototype version on the website. The new images show a completely encased system with no exposed wiring, battery, or motors.

A huge step for CAME-TV gimbals is now the addition of fine tuning tool-less adjustments for quick and accurate balancing. A 15mm rod clamp on the system allows for mounting accessories to your rail set (such as a follow focus). The CAME-TV 8000 unit ships with a Gimbal Stand + Hard Case as well.

Available now for $1980 and additional information can be found at the 8000 3-Axis Gimbal Product page at CAME-TV.com
