new panasonic varicam


Recommended Posts

I met this camera yesterday at a show in the UK.

It has two rather worrying looking fans on the RHS (as you look through the viewfinder).

They did not seem too loud (in a very high ambient room), and the fans made mostly 'air moving noise', rather than whining motor noise. They sounded to me closer to the fan from an Arri, as opposed to the fans from a Red.

 

TC menus looked sensible, but I was rushing - out of time I am afraid.

 

Audio in on a 5 pin at the front, and 2 x 3 pin XLRs at the back.

 

Kindest,

Sorry this don't get me less worried. FYI  fans on the RED Epic can get as quiet as on the Alex. Depends on your accessories.

But I'm happy there is another 4k option out there that can compete with the Epic Dragon.
