Once again this is all thanks to 4/3 Rumours you can see other pictures on their web site but the XLR unit nails it for me.

Friday will be an exiting day…the official launch of the GH4 and just look at the XLR unit ! This finally turns the DSLR into a fully working fit for purpose video tool and if my GH3 is anything to go by…pictures to die for.

Having been working in the video business since 1988 I have amassed a great amount of knowledge of both the kit and production values over the last 30 years.

One thought on “GH4 its official the XLR unit as promised

  1. The XLR unit looks a bit… “Prototype”

    I’m not sure how much difference that will make from having a decent standalone slung under, beyond avoiding having to sync audio which isn’t really too bad. Looks like it will obstruct handling a bit if it’s not in a rig…

    Maybe it’s a pic of an early version? We shall see…
