    Aputure Amaran 672 Recommendations

    Hi there, I can get the HR672 in a 3 light kit for a cheap price. It comes in two variants though; (2 x S + 1 x W) OR (2 x W + 1 x S). I was leaning towards grabbing 2 x S (spot). I know there is the T888 coming out soon but I'm looking for something very portable and they have these handles...

    Sony a7r ii Picture Profiles and Creative Styles

    Hi everyone, For those who shoot with the a7r ii, what picture profile are you using? I know more of you have the a7s ii, where s-log 2 with sgamut3.cine is the way to go. I'm personally finding the standard creative style (-3,0,0) to actually be the most helpful. I also use cine4. I've never...

    ND Filter Options for FE and E-mount Lenses

    Hi guys, I'm in need of a proper ND solution for my a7r ii. I've been getting by with a Hoya variable ND so far. I've found trying to work this out really complicated. The purpose is mainly for shooting SLOG, opening up the aperture during the day, and also for some long exposure photography...

    Travel Tripod

    Hi all, I've been researching travel video tripods. For my photography I use a Carbon Fibre Mefoto RoadTrip, and whilst I have better tripods, this is the one I use 90% of the time for portability. I was looking for something similar for video. I use a Sony a7r ii for video. I originally saw...

    a7rii Super 35 Auto

    Hi everyone, It's been said a lot but man I wish super 35 mode could be assigned to a button or the quick access menu. I have so many super 35 photos taken with full-frame glass after leaving it in super 35 after a video. Anyway, I read a post about leaving super 35 in auto, and it might...

    Tripod for A7rii

    Hi there, I'm looking to buy my first decent tripod. I currently use sony mirrorless cameras (a7s and a7r ii). It would be nice if my purchase could be future proof (ie if I purchased an FS7 size camera) but this is not the main priority. I live in Australia and I don't have any local shops...

    Sony E-Mount Zooms

    Hey everyone, Has anybody had any experience yet with the new 16-35 e-mount lens for video? I know the lens has focus by wire which isn't ideal but does have OSS and fairly good performance from early reviews. Also the 70-200G. Anybody used one of these for video? You get lots of reviews for...

    Which Hoya Prond Filters

    Hi guys, I'm looking to purchase some prond filters. My current lens lineup is all e-mount with the 35, 55, 24-70, 70-200. I'll be getting the 16-35 when it comes out as well. These lenses have filter sizes varying from 49mm - 72mm. I will probably purchase the 28-135 PZ lens when that comes...

    Looking for 70-200 FE Opinions

    Hi all, I've seen lots of mentions of the FE 24-70mm on here. Most of you being quite positive towards the lens despite some negative reviews. I'm really interested in the video performance of the 70-200 FE F4. Trying to decide between this and some of the Canon options as a video lens...

    Video Editing and Grading For Complete Beginner

    Hi all, I'm looking to finally get into video editing properly. I'm a photographer familiar with Lightroom but have never done video work, besides some very basic Final Cut Pro stuff. I've been reading the forums for a long time trying to understand a usual video editing workflow. Clearly there...

    Sony A7s Lens Planning

    Hey everyone, With the A7s around the corner I wanted to pick the forum's brain on what would be a good lens strategy for this camera. I'm not going to preorder but if the early reviews are positive re rolling shutter etc, I will definitely be on board and want to plan my lens purchases...

    Westcott Skylux Advice

    Hi guys, First time poster but long time reader. I'm wanting to invest in my first lighting kit. I've been doing lots of reading about lighting technique as well as equipment reviews. I spend my time 50/50 between photo and video. I've read lots about the Skylux's photgraphy performance and...
