The used Panasonic AU-EVA1 Cinema Camera w/ Wooden PL Mount Mod is the same AU-EVA1 5.7K Super 35 camera with an installed Wooden PL mount. Key features include:

PL Lens Mount. We’ve installed the Wooden PL mount modification on the Panasonic EVA-1 to enable this camera to accept PL mount lenses. Now you can pair the EVA1 with a huge selection of cinema quality glass. Please note that a few PL mount lenses with rear protrusions of more than 33.5mm are not compatible, and this mount has no electronic communication with the camera body.

5.7K Image Sensor. The Panasonic AU-EVA1 Compact 5.7K Super 35 Cinema Camera is based around a high-resolution 5.7K sensor that can produce oversampled 4K footage. This gives you sharper images and more accurate colors than native 4K sensors.

Dual Native ISO. The 5.7K sensor incorporates Dual Native ISO, which increases sensitivity and maintains a high signal-to-noise ratio. This camera’s standard native ISO is 800, but you can switch it to 2500 if you’re shooting in low light.

V-Log and V-Gamut Capture. The EVA1 includes both V-Log and V-Gamut capture. The former gives you curve characteristics similar to those of negative film, while the latter produces a color space that’s larger than film. The inclusion of V-Log and V-Gamut lets you use the EVA1 in HDR and SDR production workflows.

Recording Modes. The EVA1 offers up to 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling, even at 4K resolutions. You can capture in-camera footage in 4K (4096 × 2160), UHD (3840 × 2160), 2K (2048 × 1080), Full-HD (1920 × 1080), and HD (1280 × 720). For ultra-fast capture, the EVA1 gives you up to 59.94 fps for 4K, up to 120 fps for 2K and Full-HD, or 240 fps with an image sensor crop.

Records to SDXC Cards. This camera records to V60-rated SD cards (not included), which support all of its internal recording modes—even the 10-bit 4:2:2 AK modes. You get two card slots so that you can simultaneously record to two cards or continuously record from card to card.

Electronic Image Stabilization. The EVA1’s built-in image-stabilization system helps keep your images clear and sharp, even when you’re shooting hand-held or shoulder-mounted.

Additional Features. The EVA1 offers a range of imaging tools, including Waveform, Zebras, and Peaking. It gives you focus squares to help you achieve critical focus. You get dual XLR audio inputs; independently adjustable, 4K-capable HDMI and SDI video outputs; and timecode functionality. Finally, there are integrated, motorized ND and IR-cut filters.

Q & A

What kind of card do I need to shoot 4K 10-bit and how long will I be able to record?

To record using the camera’s 4K 10-bit shooting modes, you will need an SDXC card that is rated for V60 speeds (or faster). This is the card we currently recommend. The highest recording quality uses about 68GB per hour.

Is this camera compatible with light-duty gimbals like the Ronin-M and M5?

While a combination of skill, compact lenses, and/or extension arms may make it possible to accurately balance the EVA1 on gimbals designed for DSLR and Mirrorless systems, we only recommend flying this camera on larger gimbals like the Ronin and Movi Pro.

Is this PL mount camera compatible with all PL mount lenses?

No. PL mount lenses with a rear protrusion of more than 33.5mm, measured from the PL flange, will damage the ND filter turret and are not compatible.
