I am often asked to shoot video in conference rooms with glass windows and lots of bouncy surfaces. The particular room shown here has the added challenge of a busy road next to it. How would you mic this? I have an AT4051B that seems to pick up all of the echo and road noise. Is this a lav mic...

Something I have been debating for a while now is the value of a reel in our current world. Does it seem like an outdated idea now? The downside of a reel, IMO, is the lack of context. If you are being hired as a camera op, then sure, it makes sense still. What about a production company – OMB...

Like many here, my work is mostly corporate promo, case study, and social media content. I find myself wondering when it makes sense to buy vs rent gear. I am just curious what others purchase and what they always rent? I assume a basic kit is always owned or in the process of owning. Lighting...

I am curious what the early adopters think of the 120fps output from the C200? I assume it's not as soft as the 1DX? No hope for output to external recorders? -gl

I am in the market for a good set of sticks for under $1k. I have come across used Vinten 10s and wondered how they rate compared to new sub-$1k tripods? I am shooting with DSLRs and eventually the C200. -gl

I wonder how successful someone can really be trying to straddle two roles such as photographer and videographer? To be really good at something, it takes focus and repetition. Then there is the gear problem. While there could be some overlap, they are mostly exclusive and spendy enough just...

I am working in a studio where they have a C100 MKII that seems to be off in color. Reds are coming out orange. Is this a tendancy of the camera or is there something that I can do with in camera adjustment? Is there a total reset on the camera in case it's mis-configured? -gl

I have a set of Gitzo sticks I use for travel photography that I want to have a video head for as well. Mainly, I would do some basic pan and tilt with a DSLR sized camera and a decent sized lens (70-200). It would also be popped onto a slider setup at some point. I have thought about the...
