The ultimate magazine for next generation filmmakers
GEAR 56 LIGHTING IN STYLE
The super-hip Hobolites not only look good, but are made from high-quality materials and packed with innovative technology. We got to try the flagship 300W Pro light and its range of accessories. 62 BLACK TO THE FUTURE Panasonic took its popular Lumix S5 II, blacked out all the logos and created the X model just for filmmakers. With a massive range of internal codecs, including ProRes, the S5 II X is a fantastic all-round camera for not a lot of cash. 68 MINI TESTS: GEAR USED AND RATED We try a super-wide Sigma prime lens, Manfrotto case, Leofoto carbon-fibre tripod, brand-new Zhiyun gimbal, Astera softbox, Sandisk Professional SSD and the coolest headphones that’ll make your sound editing even sharper. 78 BUYERS’ GUIDE: AUDIO ACCESSORIES You might have a range of microphones, but you need the optional extras to make the most of them. We look at loads of equipment including wireless kits, wind muffs, a boom pole, charging cases and much more.
