Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 II Body + Joby Tripod

Ideal for photographers and videographers looking for a versatile full-frame camera with professional video capabilities, combined with a compact and versatile tripod for use with both a camera and a smartphone.

Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 II Body

The Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 II is an addition to the popular LUMIX S series. This mirrorless camera delivers incredible photo and video performance in an attractive, compact design. The S5 II features a 24 megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor that captures plenty of light and produces razor-sharp images. Combined with the advanced image processor, the sensor delivers outstanding image quality for both photography and video recording.

Reliable Autofocus and Stabilisation

For the first time in the LUMIX range, the redesigned image sensor supports hybrid phase detection autofocus. The hybrid autofocus system combines phase detection and contrast detection for fast and reliable focusing. The new system can easily recognise subjects, even in challenging conditions such as low light. Once focus is locked, it continues tracking the subject across the frame. Continuous autofocus is also available while zooming, along with AF micro adjustments.

The LUMIX S5 II features significantly improved image stabilisation, allowing you to capture stable and impressive handheld shots. Active image stabilisation is especially useful in challenging conditions, such as when using a telephoto lens or filming while walking. It also delivers exceptionally stable video by optimising horizontal, vertical and rotational correction.

Exceptional Video Performance

This mirrorless camera offers exceptional video capabilities comparable to the LUMIX S1H. Record in 4:2:0 10-bit 6K (3:2) and 5.9K (16:9) at 30fps, as well as 4:2:2 C4K/4K at 60fps. You can easily shoot in High Frame Rate mode at up to 120fps and capture slow-motion footage at up to 180fps. Various colour profiles are available, including 14+ stop V-Log and V-Gamut. Support for the REAL TIME LUT function allows you to upload colour correction LUTs to an SD card and apply them directly in-camera instead of during post-production. For professional videographers, features such as Waveform Monitor, Vector Scope and Zebra Pattern are included. Functions such as System Frequency (24.00Hz) and Synchro Scan further enhance its professional usability.

Excellent Photos with Minimal Workflow

The camera includes various features that help you achieve excellent photos with minimal workflow. Functions such as AWB Lock, MF Assist and the new Live Crop feature provide a highly refined shooting experience. HDMI Type-A and USB 3.2 Gen 2 connections offer extensive connectivity options. Thanks to 5GHz Wi-Fi, you can also connect wirelessly to smartphones and tablets quickly and reliably. Dual UHS-II memory card slots ensure you always have ample storage space available.

Joby Compact Advanced Kit

The Joby Compact Advanced Kit is a full-featured tripod suitable for a wide range of applications, from video and vlogging to photography. The tripod is equipped with a smart three-way head, allowing you to position your camera or smartphone with greater precision. This kit is ideal for users who want a single tripod for both a mirrorless or DSLR camera and a smartphone.

A key advantage of this kit is the included phone mount. The mount features two accessory shoes, allowing you to attach a microphone on one side and a light on the other, for example. The holder rotates within the mount, enabling quick switching between horizontal and vertical shooting. The clamp is suitable for smartphones with a width of 6.7 to 8.8 cm. The tripod has a payload capacity of 3 kg, making it suitable for light to medium-weight camera setups. Folded down, it is compact enough for easy transport, while extending to a maximum height of 165 cm when in use. The built-in spirit level, five-section legs and 360-degree range of motion allow for more precise positioning on various surfaces and in different shooting situations.

The reinforced aluminium construction makes the tripod suitable for everyday use. For transport, simply fold it down and store it in the included carrying bag.
