Best photo video channel on KZbin by far!

The new SONY Z200 and NX800 are a beast! Unfortunately, very expensive. They have the greatest zoom I have seen. Very clear image at 20X. Great for churches.

Awesome! You’re totally the lighting guru I trust the most

Is the Manfrotto Pico Clamp discontinued? Ever since I saw this video (several months ago), I've been searching but none are available for sale... 😭

This video was too funny, so spot on and true. Nothing but a bunch of kids trying to be hip, with hip hop, slang, house music, and all high spots… I really like your channel, the way you have your own presentation, and recommendations of more affordable under the radar gear. Thank you Markus for the videos and laughs hahahaha

Whats the power output?

Marcus I have a choice of an em1 mk 2 or this camera…. does its new face tracking make this better than the old pro. olympus? thanks

"Cheap" is a subjective term.

This is so amazing , Thank you for making this Markus and @cameraconspiracies!

Panasonic recently released two new camcorders: the HC-V900K and HC-VX3K. Are you planning to check them out?

She looks super magnificent in that yellow bikini bathing suit and has a toned, beautiful, gorgeous, golden tanned, heavenly body!!

You're one of the few photographers that gives a serious, thoughtful, and honest opinion on equipment. Thank you.

Markus, I love your videos and was wondering if you have any custom profile settings for low light or if you know any books to learn how to adjust custom profiles? Thanks!

It's incredible how the progress of technology allows you to enjoy your passions more and more; had LEDs not be designed, this would be impossible. Hence we need scientific progress to move us forward, this is crazy good! And of course you've got a great model! Enjoy your Christmas Holidays and best wishes to you!

dude, your videos is much better than your photography. your photos look too soursie and contrast. no one should like woman like you do

What is the meter reading when used as a star light?

Brother you are blessed! Your wife is stunning and so gracious

Love this video! Great explanation! I've been trying to tell people for a long time hot lights were better than LEDs but didn't have this information to prove it. And it makes sense why a lot of production people use LEDs as they don't typically have the budget (time or funds) to rig fresnel and hmi lights. So it's good to know they're are some good LED lights out there or that they can be corrected. Also just subed

Heya I’ve been watching and learning so much from you. Thanks for everything in improving my life!

And I have an alien bees setup. 2x 800ws and 1 1600ws. I often used it for nighttime wildlife photography. I would shoot into the alienbees plm silver, which turns it into a 8ft diameter parallel beam. And then would get pictures of cranes hunting in swamp land. I would trigger them from about 30 feet away, so we were both shooting the target, and I was not shooting through all of the illuminated particles along the way. The plm allowed me to get about the same focus as a 300mm lens. It was powered by a car battery and an inverter.

Totally cool.

I'm disappointed to see that easy-to-use consumer-level camcorders are being overlooked by the various other camera types - most of which are either more expensive cameras, or are in other segments entirely like action cams. Anything that could be in a $300-500 price range is basically fulfilled by ancient Full HD camcorders that are several years old and little more than $200, or you have to bump up to the 4k camera category at $800 and more. These brands will sit on a model for several years before introducing a replacement to fill that slot. We're losing something if we have to fill that slot with an action cam or smartphone. I'd like to see something like a nextgen Panasonic VX3K or Sony CX405, but new, can do 4K60, and has a modern SD card slot, microphone jack, horse shoe mount, and USB-C connection.

In those early comparison shots, I preferred the look of some of the umbrellas over the softbox. I was actually expecting the opposite (thinking that softboxes would be somehow superior.)

How boring life you have....with all respect. You have nothing to dream about, do you? Great video once again.

I’ll have to pickup that q200 the q3 was sold out for my camera. However that ad200 with bulb and defuser looks awesome too

Very cool info and appreciate your insights. Been photographing going on 30 years, all natural light. Just bought my 1st strobe so had torewatch your videos for insights.

Thank you for sharing your story

This guy looks like he came straight out of the Mötley Crüe movie, lol. Great stuff!

Been watching you for ages - finally had to watch your story 😊

Markus, if you get the opportunity to review, curious your thoughts on the new SmallRig RF 10C Portable Focusable LED Video Light

The trouble with most of these is not the modifier, but with the flash. It’s the fresnel. It just puts a hard spot on the front of the “diffuser”. The Godox that pushes the bare bulb into the interior of the modifier is what needs to be used. Otherwise you’re just lighting with the hot spot on the modifier.

Nice light, but discontinued. Can you provide links to the alternative you talked about? John

great idea but they sold out immediately. lol

@MarkusPix Aputure hase a 120D II and a studio variant that is better for photography than for filming, doesn't it? I can't find the differences or models anymore. I bought a 700W SL - that is, a studio light lamp - and I don't see any disadvantage even though it is a studio light lamp. What are the disadvantages?

I really love this site and watching you two interact... your way of approaching gear and the fun you both have tickles me. It's a smile, a laugh, a learning experience, and a awesome day when you have a video to watch! I see you do a lot of light videos could you please do a "how to video/photograph in the dark" or in the moon light or something not using lights. I have a camera now but the flash does not work and I'm trying to figure how to get good shots of a girl in the dark or with very little light. Also would it be good to own a light meter I see you use yours in some videos and said it was one of the best you've tried out. What brand is it and is a light meter good to use when you have little to no light? HaPpY Holidays to you both!!

I found a VXF1 for 160 USD but now I wish I had the 981 :<

Keep the lights shining on your beautiful Cara ❣️

Please Help me 🙏 can not chose which one is the best for me ; 1-Canon xa70 , 2- Sony z90 ??? İ will use it for wedding videos with a monopod. Canon has 5 axis stabliezer but sony not, and i dont know which one ise better on skin tones ??? Plz help me

For me the Q3 and AD100 are the same price. It seems from your tests that the light output from both are actually pretty similar. Which would you recommend? Thanks for putting out so many informative videos

Miskow

You are playing a dangerous game showing me this camera just before Christmas, Markus. It's in the local store at a discount and I've now passed the window nine times. Oh dear, oh dear. Happy Holidays 😀

Great! This video is as awesome AS YOUR HAIR

Legend tutor

Merry solar cycle festivity. May Horus, Zeus, and all the other fantasy figures bless you with the dark brown sugary drink that used to contain illegal substances. We wish a toyful holiday and a soulful new year.

These folks are so upbeat and giving.

Cool light idea!

Very nice, concise, to the point video that contains lots of info. Thanks.

Did you by any chance test the power output? What was it or does it give the guide number on the light?? I wonder how well something like that can do with newer brighter LEDs

You people look so youthful, its amazing. Im starting to believe in your diet, Im just not so big on broccoli .
