I've been actively following this site for quite some time and have been amazed at the professional quality video produced. I am solidly in the hobbyist class, but am looking to step up my "game."
After much research, I believe a GP4 Black with a Peau 3.97 is the right choice for me. I'm currently running a GP3+ Black (with nary a problem), but I'm looking to get into the 4K realm.
Peau offers the complete package for $650, and from what I can tell ($400-$500 for the GP, $140 for the lens, $130 for the install, focus, & profile) this is a good price. With some digging, I might be able to save $10 or so, but that would mean having the hassle of sending it into Peau.
Question: what do you guys think of this deal?
Some considerations:
- Peau gives you the camera ONLY - no battery, no extras, etc. (although they offer the battery for $10).
- I have a box full of GP3 extras - will they all work on the 4?
- Warranty - I can't tell if the one you get from Peau will have a full factory GP warranty.
- Can a fat-fingered, clumsy guy install a Peau lens himself without screwing it up royally and save some of the $130? (Still have to send it in for the profile change)
- Any other things I need to consider?
