In reply to Chris. @Chris - Check your settings if you have free run on or not. Also the time will end up drifting over a while, it is not as accurate as using a Tentacle Sync setup.

Thanks for this syncing vid! I followed the instructions you gave, and was able to sync both GH4s. However, when I turned them off, then back on again, neither were synched with the current time anymore. Did I miss something?

This is a great tip! Thank, Emm! I recently received a Zoom F4 recorder which has that BNC input for LTC timecode. I think that as long as i can get close (within a frame or two) for both cameras and the audio recorder, I'll be good to go. I'll sync up both cameras using the app on my Android phone they way you suggested, and I'm going to output the LTC audio from that same phone via a free LTC timecode app. 3.5mm connector to BNC input into the F4. That way all devices will be synced to the same time. Think that might work? I'll try it anyways and let you know!

In reply to Dennis Kane. @Dennis Kane - I work on a fully (fully fully) loaded Mac Desktop. 4K runs like butter on here, no problems with 4K. I also shoot a lot of RAW on the URSA Mini 4.6K so I need a good computer. I don't edit with proxy files at all, and I disabled FCPX from creating proxy files (eats up drive space).

Great work EMM, thank you for this. Do you shoot in 4K and if so does the rendering of the 4K files slow you down in editing ? Do you use proxy files instead ?
Thank you
