I was playing around with book lighting. In this video, I set up a book light two ways: with pro gear and with low budget Home Depot lights. The low budget version actually looks pretty good in my...

Damn. I want one of these. Great suggestion. I really want to expand what I do for background lights when I need them.

Here's the thing. I own a nice miller tripod that I use all of the time. It was over $1000 new and has lasted me over twenty years. It's solid. At work, we use a sachtler. It's even nicer and...

I was looking for a second tripod for my DSLR, but didn't want to spend much money. This ended up being pretty good:

I think that would work. Great idea!

I experimented with Cove Lighting and made this video to capture the results. I read somewhere about Roger Deakins using this lighting technique.

That’s a really nice room for shooting. That silk produces gorgeous light.

I like your set. I always want to add shadows/drama. The client always says: Can we get rid of that shadow? LOL. It's always a little give and take.

Very informative input. I agree 100 percent.

One thing that is interesting about Muslin bounce is that it lights the entire room. Like you said, that's not always a good thing, but it might be...

Thank you! I think it's made by Neewer. I believe I put a link to it in the description below the video. If not, I will do so soon.

I was experimenting with a lighting setup. I wanted to see how a softbox compared to using light bounced off of unbleached muslin. Here’s what I saw:

Thanks, guys.

puredrifting you have a lot of great gear! I have a bunch of smaller LED lights, but I hate using them now because they don't look as good as the Godox lights. The Godox lights are...

Not that long ago, I asked you guys about getting a good light for a soft box. I was told get the most powerful one you could afford and if you get multiple lights, try to stick with the same...

I agree. I really need to try out the crop mode. I want to see what it does with a macro lens.

The 90D picture profiles/styles are ok if you are happy with a baked in look, but I did find a better picture style for grading. It seems to leave more information in the image (which gives me more...

I ran out of room in my old camera bag. I got tired of deciding what NOT to bring on a shoot. I found this bag and really like it so far...

I tested all of my canon lenses with the 90d. I also shot some test video with each one and made this short video:

Which lens do you think I am missing for a well...

I’ve only used the focus motor. That works fine. It’s manual.

I put the pocket on the gimbal. It works well. I just have to take off the cage, which is a little annoying.

It is quite amazing how high priced the canons are. If I didn’t already own the the batteries and the lenses, Panasonic or Sony seem to offer more bang per buck on the video side. Since I already...

To be fair to the camera, that was shot in 720p and then exported at 1080. I should have shot 1080. I am really liking the camera on the gimbal. I only wish it had 4k 60p.

You are a lifesaver. Thanks!

I know the 90d shuts down live view when you are not recording and I don’t mind that, I just wish it would stay on longer when I am trying to set exposure and focus. Is that possible? I could figure...

I’ve owned the DJI RS2 for a few weeks. I tried it out with my pocket 6K. Now I test it with the Canon 90D:

That makes sense and that’s how I planned on using the camera — nail it while shooting mainly home videos. When shooting indoor stuff, use lights. Not a lot I can do outdoors, just pick what looks...
