One more thing I´d really love to have is a sort of framestore or the ability to load a picture into the LCD /EVF set it´s transparency ans use this for setting up a matching shot​

This is invaluable for VFX work. And not too difficult to do. Please consider implementing this feature.

yes nice i third or fourth that one...

You could also load up composition tools using this...

Also for continuity and matching position.

I'm shooting outdoors up in north at the artic circle ... Consequently, no chance what so ever to change filters during the day.

Hi Lauri,

Could I ask you a couple of questions?
Are you using mains power or batteries?
If batteries, how are you coping with them in the cold? Do you have some kind of thermal insulation for them?
Are you using "hot-swappable" mounts, or do you just have to put up with 90 second downtime each time you swap batteries?

Thanks,
Antony

Antony, I'm using Red batteries. They seem to 100+ minutes in cold and I keep the one feeding the camera under my jacket. The other ones are in an insulated case surrounded by chemical "hand warmers".

I don't use hot-swappable mounts for they gradually and, in fact, too fast ruin the batteries. The problem is that the other battery charges the other one but without any control of the current. To see the point, recall what is said in the Red charger manual about charging current in different stages.

So, every the battery has to be changed I hope nothing happens.

ACtually if you had the transparency as video would you not get some kind of human motion control system? Matching spins, dollies, steadicam moves etc to almost match and then edit nicely together? That would be so nice....
