Please rephrase that, I don't understand.

With proxies you should be able to edit anything on that computer. A 4K, 23p video file from the 1dx that is 33 seconds long is 2GB. It's proxy is a 1/4 the resolution, so 1024x540 and is only 43MB.
Jack Douglas said:Steve, BTW any extra comments and samples such as you just did are really appreciated, especially by someone so clueless as I am at the moment!
I'd prefer to make the correct choice of editing software once and for all especially after wasting money on Corel. I'm guessing 10 yr. old 64 bit quad core Pentium with 6GB Ram is not really adequate??

If memory serves me correctly, it may not balance at 70 but I only used it at 200 and yes, it was really close by the eye cup; I even removed the slip on rubber. However, one doesn't really need much tilt and panning is no problem.
Now, trying to monitor the LCD is another story and unless I can modify the settings to slow the motors down it's very challenging to drive to a position and stop on target. Unless I can become much more skilled I can't imagine walking around with 200.
Scott, or anyone else - I'm wondering if there is any way to use the gimbal and remote control via CamRanger for greater range?

I believe the best 1080 on a Canon DSLR is the Super35 1080 mode on the 1DC.
I shoot 4k on the 1DX II and 5D IV and, in most cases, downsample to 2k/1080p in Davinci. The result is orders of magnitude sharper than the 1080p modes on both cameras and definitely worth the extra step of transcoding.
I agree with this. Just shoot in 4K and then either proxy edit or transcode for best results.
