Holy, wow
frigid frigate
Wah! love it
sharp vault
this shot is crazyyy
night mulch
Yep reduced the fuck out of clarity slider on that one
Wayyyyyyy too much.
Too much detail is so incredibly unflattering
sharp vault
yeah it can be at times. I think it depends on what you are trying to achieve
night mulch
Just for like photos of people idk I used to be like hell yeah detail
and then I look back on my old photos now and i'm like.... 
I enjoyed that part about shooting on a r3 more I will say that lmao. Was such a nice balance between image quality and iso performance without getting into the too much detail territory
for like landscapes and wildlife hell yeah
photos of people... I think i'd rather not have as much lmao
but i'm extremely happy with that being a 15 year old lens like idk how much more detail you would need beyond that
floral idol
I do a -texture and -sharpening luminance mask for all kpop stuff
Softens up the skin without looking retouched and makes the stage lights bloom more too which looks good
frigid frigate
That's a crazy shot, wow
frigid frigate
Too much detail is so incredibly unflattering
I'm personally a fan of when things are pretty stylized. Which is also why I really like my X100. Does it look true to life? Absolutely not. is it a huge vibe? Yes
night mulch
yeah I had a mask preset and even with it it was... still too much for me LMFAO
autumn bridge
Holyfuck 1/250
Sir how strong are your hands
I struggle keeping focus with 1/500 cause my hands be weak
night mulch
do you not have stabilization
autumn bridge
I mean I have an ancient 24-105 f4 with quite an ancient body so no IBS
(well not mine, company's)
ripe karma
ariana her album be like
night mulch
oh I went to sleep shortly after that message lmao
yeah I just kinda brute forced some of those photos
that baseball stadium they said no tripods allowed but we could use cameras inside
had to handhold my 600mm
but yeah stabilization gave me some leeway
I just usually default to 1/250 for a lot of events here in korea when idols aren't moving unless it's video then it's 1/125 obv

Sigma will announce an FE 200mm f/1.8 Sports lens in the coming weeks

Yep it's cook time

Second clamp arm to support the top one?
night mulch
yeah lmao it was so fucking sus
it was extremely stable though
I need to get a second video head for the cinema arm I think but idk we'll see
that was so fun to shoot
too bad the upload speed in korea is absolute horse shit
I tried to post over 2 hours ago now and checked 10 different wifi networks and they were all absolute garbage

first portrait session with the r5 ii, very stoked on it
my usual 50 1.2 and 300 2.8 combo, both crazy sharp
was a little worried how the 300 would resolve on that high MP sensor but it looks great
floral idol
night mulch
lmao I guess dafttaengk gave up on the r5ii cooling grip too
forgot to mention that I saw him at odd youth haven't seen him since izna last year but he was using the cooling grip at that time
wondered back then how he was getting around the overheating... guess he wasn't
he's using this now
he was recording in 8k60 so I guess it's working better than the cooling grip from canon
walked by and saw him at like 25 minutes and only had 2 or 3 bars on the overheating warning so yep
might just be a better option because the cooling grip from canon did not do shit for me when I was testing it lol
floral idol
8k 60, he must be going home with 1tb or more of data to store lol
i havent even tested 8k on it, but i think in raw it tops out at like 2gbs per second
night mulch
I do wonder if they're just deleting the original files and keeping what's rendered out
I can't imagine with how much is recorded here by some people that most are keeping it idk
I just get everything I want out of it shorts, videos.. and then after I'm sure i'm done I'm just deleting it lmao
up to considering just selling my r5ii and getting a r5c but idk I like the af more on the r5ii
but kinda over the whole like trying to figure out workarounds to make sure the camera does what I need it to
fantastic for photos though that being said
I hope canon enables oversampling in crop mode eventually on the r5ii
night mulch
You know I think I'm gonna just go all in on video
Idk yep video is a lot of fun and photos just aren't as much to me anymore
Had a few times where I was running into highlights being clipped from shooting outside which was extremely annoying
I remember one day I stopped down to 5.6 and it was still clipping lmao
I'm not sure about the logitics on matte boxes idk if that's possible on my lenses
autumn bridge
I'm not sure about the logitics on matte boxes idk if that's possible on my lens...
Matte boxes?
Bro you're about to be probably the first fansite to use matte boxes unless I missed someone
Also matte boxes are supposed to be universal
night mulch
Yeah it's either that or c80 lmao
Obviously atp i would offload the other cameras lmao but
Yeah maybe not something worth factoring in
I kinda feel like I deal with footage being lost more from sunlight than I do from low light
I've literally only ever one time shot above 3200 iso for video
But I've had way more scenarios where I'm like stopping down my lens or increasing shutter speed because it was too bright
So that's what prompted me to start looking for solutions
C70 could be an option but idk if I feel like dealing with the crop
Also keep hearing about how the image is more on the softer side which would be great for more professional work which isn't what I'm doing kek idk probably sticking with the R5C regardless but a solution to harsh sunlight would be nice
It sucks because Canon makes a drop in filter ef adapter but then it's like ok.. what if I use RF lenses though
Would've been like that's the solution right there
Reconsidering some things though. Second camera feels all but dead in 95% of scenarios and same thing with shorter lenses. The amount of times I've used my 24-105 I can count on one hand so thinking just one camera setup is probably correct
yep yapathon
lol if you want some disgusting footage though look at this guy's channel
this is my friend he uses a c400 
degen af
he only uses a 100-500 like he doesn't own any other lenses iirc
Was sitting here sometimes like bro... if this guy had a prime he'd be unstoppable
night mulch

Go full weird
Or if you're not a fan of their cinematic blue tint
Go Vazen
I am almost sure they got RF mount
night mulch
I need to combat light not color
my color grading is already horrible enough that I'm more on the magenta side
dont' need more blue
night mulch
.....
I just got a YouTube video about "how to shoot in sunlight"
The guy in the video uses a peak design tripod just like me
And hes using a c80
This is unbelievably rigged
Ofc this video has barely any views lmao what the fuck
night mulch
Idk why the fuck I just opened discord and that video sent again wtf
Or my shit is bugging out
floral idol
Just get VND filters or a drop in for the big telephoto
night mulch
Yeah that was a consideration too just mostly annoying to have to carry that around but gotta do what you gotta do
Think that's way more practical though
Honestly I'm surprised I don't see more people using them
Well actually I guess it doesn't matter as much for photos so that'd make sense lmao
Like in the scenarios they're shooting lmao
Or not scenario but what they want from a hobbyist standpoint lol
floral idol
My magnetic one got knocked off the gimbal setup at an event recently and I was shooting at f22 lol
Was easier than rerigging it for the c70
floral idol
It was 16mm so it didn’t look much different than like f4 lol
night mulch
Honestly I slept on it
think you might be cooking with the VND filters
gonna look into those here in a bit
like those few days I dealt with where the lighting was just absolute ass felt so bad
my friends were like oh just up the shutter speed but it looks so weird in video lmao
floral idol
yep, throw a vnd on there and keep it locked at 1/50 or 1/125 so its smooth
One Ok Rock tonight, killer show
night mulch
lmfao
til this is a thing
and they seemingly have pretty decent reviews?
this seems so fucking sus
.........but this does kind of solve the whole like having to get 3 different filter sizes thing
this might actually be a cook but idk how these function with the ef adapter. Gotta find out what people say about that online
night mulch
yeah fuck it i'm gonna try these. The reviews are like overwhelmingly positive on these
floral idol
That’s a good solution for having giant telephotos that are hard to filter
night mulch
👍
Really wish arca swiss just was universally used idk maybe there's a reason it isn't that I'm ignorant to but having all arca swiss and then the video head I got after not being was tilting
This feels rock solid
frigid frigate
Big
night mulch
shit was so annoying actually would call this one of the few required purchases because the only workaround was to have me take off that plate and screw it into the other lens every time I wanted to change lenses 
annoying as fuck
and then it took up extra space in my backpack too when I left it attached onto the lenses
like I said maybe there's a reason why arca swiss isn't just a standard I'll fully admit ignorance to not knowing why it's not
but yeah the day I went to see meovv and they were supposed to come on at 8pm that was their schedule and they went on at 7:45 as I was walking in (yeah I should've gotten there earlier lmao) having to rush to set my tripod up and take the plate off of the 100-300 to put on the 600 because it was further than I thought so I missed the ENTIRE first song
after that I was like nah thank god this is the last event cause I need to figure this shit out lol
Only alternative was to either do this or go replace the plates on all my lenses.. but I have one of the peak design tripods for events where I wouldn't need the 600
and that's arca swiss so... 
would've replaced them to use on the gitzo and then had those other plates + pd tripod go to waste 
loveeee cameras
matches in colors! :D
I will say I don't know why it doesn't work with the 24-105 though which.. is arca swiss
this seems odd
and that was with it clamped won
thank god that it just hit the video head and that wasn't the lens lmao
maybe it has to be tightened 
anyways yep yapathon
autumn bridge
after that I was like nah thank god this is the last event cause I need to figur...
Seems like you've reached peak tripod gear
Every broadcast studio I went has Arca Swiss stuff so like if it's not industry standard I don't know what is
- Did it took 3-4 mins for you to change lens? That seems likely the ballpark
So it really goes down to git gud
autumn bridge
and then it took up extra space in my backpack too when I left it attached onto ...
That's what they want you to do
Buy more plates
night mulch
There is a video head above this and believe it or not I can't believe I'm about to type this out
I'm actually probably on the lower end regarding video heads
the video head I remember looking up that these dudes literally all use (well not literally but like 90% of them) is a $2000 video head
this video head I got is a new model that came out like not even a year ago apparently. I didn't even know. I just did research and it seemed like the best value
I'll ape in on stuff if it is gonna give me a substantial difference but this seemed like idk 85-95% the same value but 1/4 of the price
bro what there's video heads that are 10k from sachtler 
ok nvm
I take back what I said I thought $2000 was high end LMFAOO APPARENTLY NOT
bottom left is the one I have
ace xl mark 2
I think daft uses the fsb 8 mark 2 which is $2000
like maybe if those ever went on deal for 50% off i'd humor it but not for that price unless i'm just missing something
aint no way did I delete this vide in my gallery on accident
I deleted a bunch of shit from my gallery so maybe I did lmao
autumn bridge

LMAOOO
I mean you said it yourself you want to go video
These seem like production level gear
You wanted decent, hey I mean if one part of the camera isn't a price of Nissan Altima you're doing it wrong
Those 7k heads are probably often paired with 38k Sony HDCs
Not a puny 5k Canon body
autumn bridge
Those 7k heads are probably often paired with 38k Sony HDCs
And that's just head and camera
The legs?
Probably something ridiculous more than Manfrotto offers
night mulch
there's this one thing I saw bamp do
only guy i've seen do it
man wtf I need to find it but it's some like cylinder between the video head and the tripod
and the cylinder has screw holes or something so you can mount cameras on the side of it
could be a cook
floral idol
night mulch
I'm trying to find clamps for the cine arms I have because I'm gonna go ahead and just use a monopod next to the gitzo and use the group cam on that
the problem is though before I couldn't really clamp anything to the tripod leg without forcing it and probably broke one of the clamps I had
I look up on bhphoto and I find this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/824360-REG/impact_cc_106r_super_clamp_with_ratchet.html
really good reviews, reasonable price I'm like ok maybe this is the one
matches up with screws i'm looking for
so I go look up a youtube video to see and...
this is the size of that dude's fist what the fuck
so I guess that explains that LMFAOOOOOO

Hey the 2tb cfex b card I bought last august dropped $250 in price
I mean kinda sucks cause lost money but

bhphoto doing a pretty good sale rn for the next day
lots of discounts
a lot of stuff is priced 50% off so if you were looking at some of these it's a good time to buy
holy fucking shit the monopod I was looking at is $290 off right now
Shit I mean there's even monitors on here so lmao yeah worth looking

lexar CF B cards have been giving me issues on the r5 ii
lots of "cant read card" or "no card in slot 1" messages even when i havent removed it since last time it was on
frigid frigate
I've personally had good experience with Lexar, that said, I've never touched their CF cards so I can't say much about that
frigid frigate
Place your bets, will it fit my X100T
The answer is yes
It's not perfect with the button / dial alignment, but I can still reach everything :P
Also, W for Smallrig, full paper packaging, not a single bit of plastic

Too bad person that was gonna sell me second R5C ended up being a scammer lmao
So yep gotta go back on the market for that one but these should be interesting to trial next time
3 stop probably gonna get a decent amount of use. 6 eh... Those were probably not needed I'll admit

There’s the non-vertical crop of the video
Shot all on the R5 II, mostly 50 1.2 at ISO 4000 to get enough light in the dark club scenes
Idk why canon doesn’t confirm that second base iso but I’m glad to have it

Final going strapless for the tripleS tour with the spiderholster
Though I might run a safety strap across my neck attached to both cameras as a failsafe because I don’t fully trust myself with it yet
frigid frigate
Yo that's kinda sick

Used it for an event this week and it’s really nice. No back or shoulder pain after about 3 hours
frigid frigate
I can imagine yeah
I get so annoying from carrying my camera after a few hours if I take it with me somewhere
Because the strap just gets uncomfortable after a while

I've never used masks before on stuff because it always feels complicated, maybe I should start learning :P

Hey, that's my dad's previous camera
He still has it but he switched to the XT3 a few weeks ago

yeahh my xt30 broke last week
and didnt wanna spend a lot of money, so managed to find this secondhand one for 400€ which i think is a pretty decent deal
so far ive seen good reviews on youtube but we shall see

It's a good camera
Autofocus and stuff can be a bit slow, but that's kinda the case for anything from back then

Just so in love in how they tapped into the 2003-2006s aesthetics
This MV only goes up to 1080p on purpose
Bitrate lower than today's 720p video

Nah this one has all the crossfade you didn't want
