so since my last post, I shot as a 2nd/helper video in 3 weddings and 1 bar mitzvah and learned quite a lot. I learned more on the technical aide and also shooting and moving slower and less shaky. I am trying to grab all my gear purchases for summer work in addition to my mostly stills work...

so looking to buy a a7riii for video work as a gimbal camera. whats its max iso youd suggest to use with it? so saw this video comparing side by side a7iii and a7riii with the exact same gear. a7riii no crop in 4k, seems to be sharper too in 4k, very sharp in S35. I think its max decent amount...

so obviously I am a newbie. pro stills photog, transitioning to the video world. im not in the usa. I live to the right. in ceremonies here, we dont use lapel mics. the videographers connect with a recorder to the dj board and the officiant uses a mic and 2 large speakers on the sides. so Im...

I am a complete newbie for video. but what if the camera doesnt have responsive or snappy full time af? how can that work with a gimbal? I saw a friend shoot video with his 5dIII and he doesnt use a gimbal. so hes using this shoulder rig or monopod or handholding unless you have a follow focus...

I am a stills photog slowly transitioning to video. in my country, since covid, many have left and there is a demand for videographers. using d780- having a HUGE issue with tamron 15-30 2.8 lens. I have only ever shot video in 1 event, ever. was not paid. it was last week. it was a bar...

im thinking ahead, for the future and Im going to learn to do video editing. heres the thing. I am not an adobe fan at all. I despise them. dont ask me why I hate adobe. it isnt relevant. I dont use PS or LR anymore for editing and unless I would really benefit from using adobe products, I...

Hey folks is there a product that can tell me how good a battery is? I need a better checker that can tell me if a battery is worn out or what condition its in. basically assess and tell me if it has some life in it or should be tossed. I use many AA nimh batteries for my flahses in weddings...

thinking about getting a used D800 for video AND stills, or for D750? is there such a huge difference in IQ? high iso noise..I dont plan to pass 3200 and mostly will be around 2000 minuses for the D800 in video? no aperture control in live view?

thanks for the reply. I realize there will be compromises. lag being one of them. im sure though itll be a ton better than using the dslr screen, no? im sure the more I invest the better the product. I cant afford a $500+ monitor as much as id want. not when starting. thats how it goes. you...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LynWn0DvdO0 pretty much makes it unuseable for video in flared backlit shooting. and I do a lot of those. I dont understand..are they not paying their QC staff enough money?

Im a pro wedding stills photographer moving to video. Been in the business for many years and 1 pro videographer I work with uses a cullmanm 3090 mini tripod tht he uses with a mkIII and rokinon primes. Hard to find the cullmann today and if you do the price is over the top. Are there other...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/381039577210 I drive to shoot weddings on a big scooter and I use a shoulder sling bag that Id use with the tripod/monopod/stabilizer/slider. but I dont think id be able to fit them all in. Nitzan on youtube likes it very much...
