Blackmagic today released Blackmagic Video Assist 3.18, an update that adds support for Blackmagic RAW recording from Panasonic UB10 cameras to the Video Assist 5" 12G HDR and Video Assist 7" 12G HDR models.
When recording Blackmagic RAW using Video Assist 12G HDR, you can also save camera settings to metadata. This means that white balance and exposure are encoded into a file that DaVinci Resolve can read. However, you can still overwrite these settings later when color correcting the RAW palette.
The Blackmagic Video Assist 3.18 update is now available as a free download here.
UPDATE: The promotion has been extended until 12.2.2025!

Nikon yesterday announced new features on two laser rangefinders from its COOLSHOT range. The flagship COOLSHOT PROIII STABILIZED now boasts faster speeds and the mid-range COOLSHOT 50i GII model has a stronger mounting magnet. Both new models also feature brighter OLED screens with a red internal display, improved ergonomics and a new design with a yellow Nikon stripe.
The next-generation COOLSHOT PROIII STABILIZED is Nikon's fastest and most accurate rangefinder yet. Designed for golfers looking to improve accuracy, it offers lightning-fast readings and flawless images. The HYPER READ technology, which is 3x faster than before, delivers readings in 0.1 seconds regardless of distance. Nikon' s powerful stabilization system counteracts the effects of hand tremors and environmental factors (such as wind) and stabilizes the measuring laser and viewfinder image.
Both of these new laser rangefinders also feature Nikon's latest DUAL LOCKED ON QUAKE technology, which now emits a gentle vibration and also provides a visual signal - to confirm that the distance to the flag has been measured. Finally, the new OLED screens feature displays with bright red letters and numerals that provide excellent visibility of measurements even in low light conditions.
Available by the end of February!
