Shooting video with a KP

[pez]

I know, Pentax truly is horrible for video! But it's what I have and I wanted to get some airshow footage, so I started thinking... Here's what I've done so far for some maybe OK amateur footage: Rode un-powered mic with deadcat (always, always windy at airshows) and a Swivi LCD eyepiece (I like this device). I'm practicing with all manual control (no SR) and 1080 30P. Just ordered a battery grip, but also have a bag of 109's, haha.

Nice kit...

I'm liking how lightweight this setup is with the DA55-300PLM. I'll also be using a DA16-85. Both lenses have similarly placed e-focusing rings close to the mount.
