    @ErikssonRobin Nice Job Robin, I like the Post work and the Straight to cut coloring, visceral feel!.

    This was shot on the d800, using the Flatt Profile and The Nikon Hackers Bitrate Patch, a combination which really brings out the d800's recording capability. 100 - 3200 iso extending in the darker handheld scenes. The shutter speed varied outdoors to as high as 1/640 for the wide angle handheld shots, though the majority was shot at 1/125, 1/250. Zeiss 50 f1.4, 135 f2, 15 f2.8. After editing in Premiere, we took the footage into After Effects and "Detail preserve Upscaled" to 4k with a little sharpening. This brought out the natural d800 "grain" and made it a bit more filmic, especially as a DCP file for digital projection. The uncompressed 10bit at 4096x1707 file was 400GB upon final rendering. All Color Correction and Tone Masking came after the Upscale Plugin, in a new sequence. I've been doing work with the D810/gh4 recently and they are amazing tools, especially in their ability to produce higher framerates. This was my last work with the d800. Enjoy!

    @autofocus: You need to speak to @DaveyJ as I beleive he uses the D7100 video a lot.
    Always learning.

    What are your thoughts on the DR-60? I'm thinking about buying the DR-60 mkII. I'm finally at the point where I want better audio and I'm tired of fighting the preamps in-camera. I've tested using my DR-40 and like the audio so much better. Also, I want to be able to record more than one wireless mic.

    Im in the same boat as auto. I need a good mike for my cameras too. Anything decent out there?

    Ok, I just ordered the Tascam DR-60D mkII. I tried connecting two mics to my DR-40, then to camera and it worked. I only have one XLR(M)-3.5 mini connector for my wireless lav so I just used a XLR(M)-XLR(F) to connect my shotgun mic. What I like about this setup is I can mic two individuals for a conversation/interview and record to both the DR-XX and camera. The audio is much cleaner using the DR preamp (as monitored from the camera). I know these small field recorders aren't pro quality but there is a significant difference. I'm really pushing the learning curve and willing to entertain any advice others may have.

    Just bought a Lowepro waist pack to use as my run-N-gun audio bag. It holds my wireless receivers, DR-60D recorder, batteries, Shotgun Mic, and Hand Mic. I clip it to the tripod when I'm static and can unhook to strap around my waist if need be.
