Hi - I bought a different controller and it does not allow me to move vertically and horizontally simultaneously. It can do one or the other, but if I attempt to move diagonally, so to speak, it won’t. Does your controller allow you to move vertically and horizontally simultaneously?

Absolutely amazing video. Were building a camble cam too right now, but with a metal wire rope. This way, it doesn't have any slack! Reason for this is the weight were planning on putting on there - the big dji Ronin 2 with a Ursa Mini 12k, zoom lens, fiz unit, wireless transmission, all that stuff that's making it harder to build...

It's rather astonishing to me that you're comfortable recording ALL of your projects' audio in the camera. Best practice, in my opinion, would be to run mikes through a mixer/field recorder and feed the outputs from that into your camera for safety tracks/monitoring.
@ScottBell3 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching. Sure in an ideal world that would be best but for run and gun, one man band shooting it's not super realistic. I ensure I'm monitoring tracks with head phones to keep tabs on this and now a days have added the Deity Theos for my lav with 32-bit internal recording in the Tx units. I feel pretty solid.

Hey Scott, really enjoyed both the behind. the scenes film and the actual documentary. One quick question. How many days did you end up shooting in Iceland and how did you split the work managing the production and deciding where to go when? Were you in charge or did someone else help out with planning the time spent?
@ScottBell4 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching. We were in Iceland for about 3 weeks. We had to really just follow the thread to known when to go where based on people's availability. Every night I would dump footage and backup so I could be ready to go again in the morning. I think we shot around 13 days of the 21 day trip. Myself and Mark Matthews did the majority of the planning with Bruno Long the photographer providing his perspective once we were out in the field.

Hello, Scott - Thanks for the video and all the useful information! I'm just in the process to build a suitable shoulder rig around my C70 (preferrably with the nucleus nano II handgrip) and especially the start/stop function was an issue for me. I have just one question, if I may - When you mentioned the special cable in the video, you showed the packaging with a picture of a cable with two usb-c connectors. When I use your link, the Tilta homepage shows a cable with one usb-c connector and a 3,5mm jack on the other end, and now I'm confused :-) Maybe you can help me out? Thanks and best regards - Mike

@@ScottBell I'm sorry to bother you again, but I'm stuck and seem to be completely lost.

Remote is enabled in the C70, it's working just fine on my DJI RS3 Pro, so I must have missed something absolutely simple and stupid, and I cannot figure it out. Also tried to connect the cable directly to the handle, this also doesn't do anything. I HOPE I just missed something...

Great video, learned so much! Quick question, if I have two Sennheiser G4 mics would it work to put each in a mini XLR input (one and two), and then the shotgun mic into the mic input to record on three (and four as a safety track)? guessing you don't do this because when you want to record two wireless mics you use the smaller rechargeable one you mentioned. Anyway, just curious thanks for taking the time to put this out, very helpful.

Hello, looking to start filming mtb videography. Have a Sony a7iii with a 24 - 70mm lens. Was wondering how to shoot raw with good sound. Was thinking about buying something like the rode wireless pro and just strapping it to my bike. Would this work? And I am also looking to buy new lenses, what do you recommend?
@ScottBell9 ай бұрын
Hey, that's awesome. The 25-70 is a great lens to start with. Might consider a 70-200 down the line. I have a video on my channel about shooting a raw mountain bike video that shows how I go about capturing some of the audio. A lot is just with my shotgun mic mounted on the camera though. You could potentially strap a rode wireless pro on the bike but you'd have to test it out, never tried it myself. Get it as close to the ground as you can to get good dirt sounds. Good luck!
