A7s owner that wat to record 4K can use the Atomos Shogun which sells for $2,000 at BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here). And there is a new firmware update (6.1) you can download at atomos.com/support/.
P.S.: JJ Casas also sent me this: “Thought we’d post up a quick video of our A7S rig and would love to have it featured on your blog among other reads who send in their stuff. http://www.845a.com/blog/2015/1/21/our-sony-a7s-atomos-shogun-film-rig“
