Spot on. Sorry about the garbage comments on this article from people who don't get it, but you're right in labeling this a business decision.

Let me scream this to the cheap seats:
• Freedom of speech is not FREEDOM FROM CONSEQUENCES.
• This is not censorship. She has not been silenced. Her Twitter account is still active and she's actually doubled down on her comments. She was FIRED, not censored. There is no law anywhere that guarantees you a job or forces your employer to put up with bad behavior.
• Hollywood loves MONEY more than anything else. That's the bottom line and that's what this article is about. The fact that studios tend to err on the side of social justice and progressive/liberal issues is because that's where they see our culture heading. If we lived in a society that openly rewarded racism, homophobia or sexism then they would change their tune. But guess what? We don't condone those behaviors (at least not publicly) and companies have found out the hard way that if they don't take a stand and come down on the right side of history then they're in big trouble. Don't believe me? Ask the MyPillow guy how his business is going. Or those bakers who wouldn't bake a cake for a gay couple.

Gina Carano and her opinions are bad for business. Disney is a corporation worth BILLIONS and they will not jeopardize a single penny of it on a second-string actor with shit opinions.

Period. Full stop.

+1 on this. I shot 3 days of interviews with the Pocket 6K and it was great. Used the XLR port with phantom power to run the overhead shotgun mic and I had a V-Mount battery powering the camera (D-Tap cables for this camera are easy to come by).

Of course this doesn't apply to "safe", professional situations where accidents can be avoided. This is a cautionary tale for indie filmmakers who often film these types of shots on regular city streets with no process trailer or safety equipment. Your DP laying their head against the console could get seriously injured, to say nothing of the talent in the driver's seat when a camera flies loose. Even an iPhone can become a dangerous projectile in an accident.

I've shot with both. The C300 is a workhorse, but it's 8-bit HD and not as good as the image quality of the A7Sii especially in low light. Ergonomics-wise it's a little better, but keep in mind you'll still need to drop $$$ on a shoulder mount, handles, grip offset etc. if you want to do handheld work. We've used the C300 extensively for Reality TV and short projects, and while the image at 24p is nice I don't consider it very filmic. And with so much being shot at 4K we miss the ability to enlarge or reframe the shots in post. At the end of the day, you need to pick a camera based on what you think you'll be shooting and how you want it to look.

As far as outputs (like SDI), yes the C300 has a lot of options. But you could also get a Shogun or Ninja outboard recorder and get those taps. That's how I did it on my last short film and it doubled as my director's monitor. Just something to consider.

And as far as what you charge for your services, I would enforce a strict kit fee for yourself with no exceptions. When you get a call for work, mention that you have a camera you can bring "for an extra $$" so that they know up front you expect money for the camera rental. Don't give that away for free just cuz they hired you.

Most likely your sequence settings are incorrect. Use the DSLR presets (I assume you shot 1080p 24) or else just drag a clip over the new sequence icon at the bottom right of the Project panel and it will create a sequence that matches your footage.
