The Scott Expedition – London to Punta Arenas from Studiocanoe on Vimeo.
Temujin: “I’m the videographer attached to the Scott Expedition, and my name is Temujin. I’ve been filming polar expeditions for a couple of years now – here is my vimeo page if you are interested I film everything on a Panasonic micro 43 cameras – mostly a GH1/2/3. https://vimeo.com/studiocanoe
I’m currently filming a South Pole expedition – accompanying two polar explorers to their start point in Antarctica, where they will walk from the coast, to the pole and back again. here is the expedition website (again, only if you have time) http://scottexpedition.com
I’m once again, filming everything on a GH3, but also a GX7. In fact the two explorers are actually taking two GX7 with them, as the camera of choice for the whole 4 months. Here is a short film I’ve made so far, of the flight from London down to the tip of Chile. It was shot on the GX7. https://vimeo.com/76799061
We’ll be leaving for Antarctica next week, but they’ll hopefully be a few more videos before we depart, and then a lot more once we come back to Chile. Thanks for your time, and I hope you like the films!”
Bob: “Here is a set of images that I shot with an Olympus E-M5 and an E-P5…thought some of the readers might enjoy them: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bowne/sets/72157636750687874”

Vladim: “I use for my work hacked GH2 (3 bodies) and OMD EM5, EPL5 for backup and B-Cam. I’m very impressed by Olympus EM5. Best daylights colors, best skin-tone and stabilization, but Sharpness must be dialed to -2 for good video. It very good for short clips and fast handheld setup, minimal rolling shutter because of internal stabilization. I would like share some OMD-only clips, most without any stabilization at post.

Harish: “I recently bought an old Olympus OM 50mm 1/1.8 and went out shooting with my EPL1. Felt like shooting some video and shot a 720p video with Fall season as the theme. Edited it on the Youtube editor and their Digital Image Stabilization is pretty good as you can see. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tnh9wXs9-4”
Russ: “We have been using hacked GH1s, GH2s and GH3s to produce videos and stills for connectedtraveler.com, our travel web site, for the past few years. Here is a video we shot run-and-gun style using a GH3 of the Joe Baraban photo workshop in California Wine Country and Bodega, the town Alfred Hitchcock terrorized with “The Birds.” Joe is an A-list advertising photographer who conducts workshops around the world including the Maine Media Workshops. He is very funny and a great teacher. Some great photo tips in this video. http://connectedtraveler.com/video/323-sipping-and-shooting-photography-lessons-in-california-wine-country”
Thomas: “My name is Thomas Kesselbacher and i am a young filmmaker out of Austria. I really love the GH2 and do almoste every project with it. Here is my latest project with I did for the Austrian National Team and Televison. https://vimeo.com/72174544 I also did a short behind the scene (commercial) for SanDisk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWaBAeOWRZA and here is the link of my hompage.. http://www.kesselbacher.net/ I would be glad if you could give me a short feedback about my projects and maybe if you like i could get a readers work on 4/3 Rumors.. =)”

Thanks for the links Temujin, and best of luck to Ben & Tarka. I saw in your videos that you put all the equipment through severe climate tests, e.g. putting the ultrabooks into cold chambers, and I’m just wondering how the GX7, which of course isn’t advertised as being weather-sealed, fared in your tests?
I also saw that they are going to great lengths to reduce every unnecessary gram of weight. Do they have any back-up cameras of a different model in case of malfunction or did your tests reveal that back-ups would be an unnecessary weight?
Very Nice Video. I hope your venture is a great success and I’m looking forward to seeing more vids. I hope the GX7’s are more than enough! This is kinda a good test for a camera that’s not weather sealed. And the video makes me want to shoot one of my own with my GX7. What prgm did you edit with?
Hope the Scott Expedition fares better than Scott did… It’s kind of like naming a trans Atlantic expedition the Titanic Expedition…
I love how the comments just dive when good work is published with 43 cameras. Congratulations to all, this is fine fine stuff, proof that vision is far more important than gear.
Nothing to argue about here, wait till the next post.
many negative comments here are often triggered by wild claims and exaggerations made by typically Olympus fanboys who are just as likely to attack Panasonic as defend mFT.If you want a polite civil fair forum, remove the Olympus fanboys and the trolls who respond to them will melt away.If you are not prepared to do that then you reap what you sow
The video is excellent
I wonder why you posted this comment as there are no negative comments in this thread yet. Back to topic, I am very curious how well the bodies hold, both the GH3 and GX7. This is very critical for any kind of brand, even the high ends, if you really goin to use them nonstop in extreme below zero conditions. The lubrication needs to be able to handle the temperatures this low. Same for the electronics ofcourse. If using multiple bodies, I would not be surprised if one or more bodies could get into trouble. The clips sofar do not show any real rough environmental usage yet.Again, I am very interested to see the whole story after completing this project.
A civil and fair forum would start by you refraining from this totally unwarranted (because there are no posts like what you describe in this thread) complaint.
What is it that makes you feel attacked before anyone pointed as much as a finger in your direction?
Does the word transference mean anything to you?
Thanks for the Videos of the Scott expedition! Looking really good, wish all of you a good trip and save return. looking forwart to the Vid&pics you bring back!
Lots of good work there. It is a shame that these posts of actual work get hardly any comments, people wan’t something to complain about I guess.
I’d also be interested to see how the GX7 does. I would have thought the EM1 would be the current camera of choice if you want to use m4/3 in the antartica, or a GH3/EM5 as a second option. An interesting choice indeed.
I bet the choice depended on the battery… everything is about weight on such expedition,-now they only need one charger for the cameras. And because of the video documentary Panasonic was set… maybe oly should really upgrade the video section. 😉
By the way- the readers work roundup is my favourite 4/3rumors category! but I seldom comment here, but on the page of the artists 😉
