In case you have been excited to listen to about Panasonic’s Lumix GH5 Mark II announcement in May, you’ve most likely been questioning whether or not current housings for the unique GH5 and its “delicate” cousin, the GH5s, will work with the brand new digicam. Effectively, current web site updates by Ikelite and Nauticam verify that each one three cameras can certainly be utilized in GH5 housings.
In Ikelite’s case, the housing is technically new, because the now-discontinued earlier housing—suitable with the GH5 and GH5s—has been changed by a brand new product (with a recent product quantity) suitable with the GH5, GH5s and GH5 Mark II. Most significantly, for anybody who desires to make full use of the Mark II’s uncropped 4K/60p 10-bit 4:2:2 video over HDMI 2.0, there’s the choice of including a large-bore M24 port, which facilitates output to an Atomos Ninja V/V+ monitor/recorder. As we reported just lately, that housing modification prices a further $200 and Ikelite is providing a brand new ball arm system that means that you can conveniently mount the monitor/recorder (in an applicable housing).
Nauticam’s NA-GH5SV—a “video-centric model” of its unique GH5 housing—already helps HDMI 2.0 output by way of its included M28 bulkhead, so it’s prepared for the brand new GH5 Mark II. You’ll simply want so as to add Nauticam’s devoted housing for the Atomos Ninja V/V+.
