Anyone using M4/3rds ground system....

SanCap · Jun 6, 2017

Along with your Inspire 2 X5S? I have an older Lumix GX7 and recently purchased the Lumix GH5. I have the Panasonic 100-300 and the Olympus 12,17, 25 and 45mm with a borrowed 9-18mm lens, thanks @Florida Drone Supply, I will return it soon

It is really convenient to be able to use the X5S lenses with another camera, makes it feel like I do not have to purchase two complete systems.

Hey SanCap, do you mean like Olympus or some other M4/3 system?

I just sold my GX7 and replaced it with the G80 (G85) which can do nice stabilised 4K, although not at 60FPS. My main reasoning for both was sharing of lenses to reduce the costs, although I'm mainly using the 12-60 on it so far...

Yes, any 4/3rds system that uses the same lenses as the X5s.

That is a nice old school looking camera with a lot of modern technology. I had never seen that one, thanks!

I recently used an Olympus OMD EM-1 but sold it away and picked up a Nikon D500. For my taste mirrorless camera have less than optimal low-light performance and the fact that like you, I didn't want to run two different systems. Are you making a comparison or just gathering info?

Just making conversations and seeing what other people use. Don't you need F mount lenses for the Nikon?

Yup. Using an F-Mount.

Sorry if I missed this. I am working with florid stone supply to upgrade to the inspire 2 package and I have been advised to use the Olympus primes as well. My question Is, can I in fact use those lens without an adapter with my GH4. That would be awesome!

Yes you can the lenses, they will work well with the GH4. What kind of stones are you getting

"I am working with florid stone supply" No adapters needed.

I am still learning it, lots of features to figure out. Fortunately there are many tutorials.

You'll get. I have made many a dollar with my GH4. As I believe the GH5 is very similar to the GH4, feel free to private message me if you get stumped.

Another thumbs up for the Pen-F. I have the E3 as well with a big set of lenses but the Pen-F is in another league. Trouble is you think you will just use the drone lenses then are so amazed you go and get a load more as well. If you need advice on what lenses to get for use with the Pen-F just shout. I have brought and then sold a few.
