I am planning to buy a gimbal again. My kit includes an XT4 and xf 16-80mm f4 lens and a few third party manual lenses. I had Zhiyun weebill S in the past it had worked great even though i always felt my set up was a little heavy for the gimbal but it handled it well not great. Anyways now i am planning to buy Crane 2S but again it still doesn't support Electronic Follow Focus for fujifilm cameras where as DJI and Moza Gimbal support Fujifilm cameras. So before buying any Gimbal i just enquired directly with Zhiyun and they say that they are working on bringing Electronic Follow Focus feature for fujifilm cameras. Thats seriously a ray of hope for me, i really like Zhiyun Gimbals i have used the weebill S, Crane 2, Crane 3 and Crane 3s for my shoots. Removable batteries, amazing build/ergonomics and plenty of headroom for all sorts of cameras is just something the compilation lacks and Zhiyun has. But the lack of features towards Fujifilm cameras is just frustrating but i am happy that they are working on it. Right now we can just control the ISO of the camera and start/stop recording. Election follow focus will be a game changer if they impliment it right and fast.
Hello,
I am glad @teaandcake went to Fujifilm. I did the move a while ago buying the X-T20, coming form Nikon and previously Canon and I was blown away. Now I added a X-T3 and I won't probably go anywhere else for the time being.
I've been doing some comparative tests with different software to see how can get the best from the X-Trans sensor, finding myself in a similar situation.
Long story short, I am now down to Camera Raw (which is also in LR) with "Enhance details" .dng photos and Capture One Express (which won't export .dng for business reasons, I think).
If you work a bit with the sharpening on both software you will get exactly the same level of definition. In Camera Raw is under "Edit - Detail", while in Capture One is in "Quick - Sharpening" AND "Details - Sharpening" (so in Capture One you have to work twice). I would start from 0 on both.
Also in Capture One you have to turn down to 0 the Noise Reduction. "Details - Noise Reduction".
Zeroing all these pre-loaded settings, will get you exact results.
In terms of treating the pixel, I find Capture One being slightly (just slightly) better but only if you zoom up to the pixel you will notice it, so in real life this difference won't never be seen.
My conclusion is, between the two tools, use the one you like and feel familiar most, so play with both and set yourself at ease. Helping to choose it's also dependant on your circle of photography friends. I am staying on Camera Raw because everyone I know use Adobe, but I will play a bit with Capture One to see what has to offer.
