A Farewell to Arms trailer, literally

"Force alphabetical order" in import dialog.

Thank you. Really nice colors and steady hands. You can shoot timelapse  Good work with focus. I can't believe that this work was made handheld without external monitor and follow focus. Don't let the sea to splash on your camera

I consider it's a toy, no doubts. Examples blurred horribly. But it has working prototype. Recording time is more than enough for it's application. And I'll be glad, if Axiom Beta can write even 55 sec on its own.

Look at this interesting project
No hassle with external recorders, writes on onboard flash memory. Nice toy.

Battery is easy DIY project. Now storage solution other than expensive proprietary HDMI is main concern for me.

tetsusaiga, try this:

They definitely should hire A1ex (and maybe not just A1ex but all core ML team) to get best looking picture out of this hardware. First of all he willing to do it himself. Next, ML community brings them a lot of supporters. Last, but not least - it's probably not to much people in open source with experience in this field.

surami: Regarding your DNG
I see some tweaks made in ACR with it: lets say, Exposure +0.7, Contrast -100 and so on. I didn't see any color related tweaks, except Saturation -35(By the way, -100 looks much better ). Did i miss something? What does it mean "graded in AE + added some grain" and where is the result?
Regarding image itself - it's probably captured under harsh lighting condition with wrong exposure. I hope it's not a sensor failure/limitation.

last video (in under 1 minute) doesn't impress me. Aggressive sound, flickering, awful skin tones. I'd like to see something like that: http://vimeo.com/87374695

With 3rd batch Active Canon EF Mount will come true.
One more batch for SATA 3.0 !!!

Canon eos m: Where did you find FULL FRAME
aombk: Please, give me a link to 4k HDMI recorder with 60 FPS. No, dont' offer me to connect a couple of 2000$ Atomos Shogun

Opted for Super 35 second batch.
I think I made something crazy - I'm not sure, if this toy will be useful for me:
1. I need Active Canon EF Mount from the start. Iris control and optical stabiliser powered at least.
2. I don't want to buy external HDMI recorders - I have a lot of fast CF cards(and SSD, USB 3.0 HDD) already.
As far as i know, it,s impossible to record comparable in quality with raw data through HDMI.
I wonder, why, the heck, 3 HDMI and no one SSD?
I would prefer this FPGA to track objects I point on with finger on touchscreen in focus.
3. It has no any buttons and dials, ok, but touchscreen or ability to use tablet via Wifi as touchscreen with liveview is must.
4. External controller, monitor, power supply, the rig to mount all these on and elefant to carry  - how much it will be cost and weight?
4. A lot of software to implement - for camera itself, external/smartphone controllers and so on - will it be reliable?
5. There is a 3k$ for all I dream solution on the market today.
It can't do more than 30 frames per second in 4K and focus control, but they have better sensor and time till next summer to meet competition with AXIOM.

Confirm and vote.
Exposure always fixed in crop mode.
ETTR, ISO AUTO, tried even autoexpo - nothing works.
ETTR hint in histogram keep updating, though

[declare insurance]

To Marsu42:
Yes, you are right about paypal buyers' protection but,
if seller declare insurance for every delivery (as komputerbay.com do), it should protect buyer from any losses.
By the way, komputerbay is american, not chinese company.

to Levinson and pobox:
Thank you for support and info. I purchased directly but pay by PayPal.
I'm aware of how to dispute PayPal transaction. But I was pretty sure they will solve the problem themselves. They asked me to wait for 3 months and there is just 45 days to dispute the transaction on PayPal.
Now they send me email with offer " issue you a full refund if you remove your post from the forums.". No guys, you don't shut me up this way. Let it cost me 150 USD, but I want others to be warned.

Despite it's clearly declared on site that
"All goods are fully insured. We have even arranged to insure goods sent by 1st class recorded delivery using a third party insurance company."
After 3 months of wasted time i finally got answer that
"1st class insurance is limited to domestic service only - not international".
Having a long history of successful internet shopping, I for the first time spent money absolutely for nothing.
And it happens not with small asian online shop, damn it.
I'm so sorry to contribute to this wonderful project and community by sharing this negative information, but it's best i can do now.
