I'm looking for the 'best' budget action camera, in respect to manual settings for video.
I will be modifying said camera to use some old cine c-mount lenses for a small production.
It needs lockable settings for everything from ISO, shutter speed, WB, colour profiles, etc...
In regards to colour profiles - what I regard as 'best' would be as flat as possible, be it stock software or a script like the excellent YiMax Movie.
I'll take 4k but it isn’t a necessity, although 2k is.
I also dont need any high framerates, the standard 24 or 25FPS is all i will ever need.
The other major factor in choosing a camera is one that can output through HDMI the resolution it's shooting in at the time. This is because I will be capturing through a external recorder, and if I’m shooting 2k, I want to be able to capture that 2k through the HDMI.
I have the original Xiaomi Yi on my list <with nutsey's YiMax-Movie> as it appears to be a good choice, but I don’t know what the output is through it's HDMI...
That's some list of demands... I hope some of you can help out where you can so I can piece together what camera I should consider.
