2:35 -2:38 that rhymed... bars.

Failing cards, i always hear people talk about this failing cards fear, and to be honest i just don't get the fear, i shoot concerts which go for hours sometimes 5-6 hours, the only cards which ever failed on me were those which i've had in just one brand camera model Panasonic GH2, i have other Cameras AC-AG 130, AC-AG 90,HMC151, GH4s GH5, Sony AIII, Canon 70D, Canon 6D and to tell you the truth none of the other Cameras have i ever had a card fail, 10years old cards and still going strong, i have bought zero card in the last 4years and bellow and i cant say i don't use my cards extensively, so this fear of card failing i don't know where you people are getting it from. But harddrives fail alot and thats where my fear is, but not on the cards. All my cards are Sandisks. To say the truth i don't even bother about the double slot in some of the cameras, to me that is a promotion gimick many vloggers will mention, but ask 50 of them, how many have ever been saved by that redundancy???could be even zero of all the vloggers. When is a card failure a camera caused or card caused?

Subscribed for sure!!! Great video!!

Hi Dustin, Excellent video! 1) What cables do you use to connect the Aputure 60d light to the V-mount battery? It looks like 2 cables put together. 2) What frenel do you use over the light?

Good Stuff!

Hey Dustin! Love watching these types of vids to see how others are navigating industry needs. You did a phenomenal job here just getting to the point and clearly explaining the ‘why’ of your setup. Nicely done!

Isnt V90 card an overkill for that camera? Its only like 200mbps for 10 bit 4k50

I've watched more than 15 videos about video gear and yours is the most thorough on KZbin. The section where you demonstrate how to use Ifootage monopod to shoot high & low shots at a wedding is illustrative. The unique thing about your video is the section about G.U.M. for ring shots. I have never seen it anywhere before. Even though I won't use all of the gear you mention here, it's good to know. Thanks for an excellent job.

Good stuff Dustin!

Just found your Channel and this video, shame you stopped posting but fantastic video.

ProRes was on the right? Watching on an iPhone.

12.5 stops dynamic range, nice

Great video. With the 24-70 lens, are you able to capture the entire dance floor?

That novoflex multi tool is something I may have to pick up!

Just ordered some dental gum what a great tip!

Interesting tip for monopod / gimball. I'll definitely give it a try.

Just subscribed! So left side is R3D ? (Please say I'm right (or I'm unsubbing! 😛) - Just kiddin! So great job on your presentation and style - thinking about the Komodo (x?) - and so that's how I found ya!

its a simple joke but you're telling your audience what a woman will think. she has her own thoughts.

Can I use the Blackmagic 12G monitor and operate it directly through the on-screen display menus without the need of an additional control kit unlike the SmallHD? Thanks for the fantastic upload!

Love the video and the detail into everything you have. I'd like to get your take on using UV filters. Do you always keep them on your camera? What kind do you use?

should go 256gb cards. shoot simultaneous. never take them out of your camera until your in the office

thanks great video😀

Amazing video, man! There are a few things I'd like to point out. I really like the idea of keeping an iPhone ready for any shot you might miss due to any camera issues. As an additional suggestion, we can install the Filmic Pro app to capture clean and flat images. I think Sony cameras are nice, but they might be a bit overrated. If you've ever used a cinema camera like the BlackMagic Ursa Mini Pro or Red Komodo and intercut the footage, you'll understand what I mean. You need to perfectly expose Sony image; otherwise, it breaks during color grading. I also liked the suggestion of having a Sony digital recorder ready in your pocket. I will definitely look into it. At 22:50, you talk about using a cable for the Gimbal to sync the record button from the camera. if you have the Rs2 or Rs3, you can sync via Bluetooth with your camera, and you won't need any cables. Lastly, the point about shining light at people dancing after they've had a couple of drinks was hilarious! Great work!

How are you not using ND filters often? 😮

Thanks for this video

You are ex zcammer? Man I so hope I can upgrade from the S6 to the Komodo soon

Love your presentation style dude! Great video :)

Me again haha. Sometimes I like to rewatch the videos 🤣. When you talk about LIFO can I ask you a few questions? 1. Once everything is powered on, which SDI do you connect first? Does it matter? 2. If you wanna eat something (and everything is charged) can you turn off and on the camera and monitor without removing the SDI? Thanks again haha

Hi! Been shooting weddings for 14 years, and learned a lot from your video. Some random comments: -- "RCAs. Some DJs are still using these." Round my parts, they're the most common connection! -- One cable that might be useful: a 3.5mm headphone-type jack to XLR (for cases where the headphone monitor is the only out they can give you!). -- A vote here for Zoom F6 over F3. What you lose in compactness you gain in battery life -- F6 can run all day on one Sony battery, while the F3 goes for up to 8 hours on three AAs. (I might be wrong about this, but that's my thinking anyway.) -- Spare pants. Have only run into the dreaded pants rip situation once. But I had a spare pair in my car -- a videographer from the DVInfo forum wedding section had recommended it to me years ago. But was there any possibility of using some sort of clip or pin to hold your pants together? (I guess you wouldn't want to gaffer tape your butt; might be worse than letting the breeze in.) I've never needed a spare shirt, but maybe spare socks might be useful -- basically, for those times when you ask the bride and groom to walk in the water, and then wade in after them. -- I think there was a picture of an Instamic mounted magnetically to a speaker? I find that really interesting; I've been looking for a good 32-bit float recorder to get audio from in front of a soundspeaker as a backup. Only thing I'm unsure of is, if it's magnetically attached, does that influence the sound? I mean, will it be influenced by vibrations from the soundspeaker? -- Dental gum. Wow! Neat suggestion! I've been using something called "photographer's black tac", which is like blutac, but black. But hard to use just enough black tac that it's not obvious. -- I'm not sure you discussed why you'd use lights instead of ISO/aperture, though you teased a discussion. For me personally, there's two main reasons, and two minor reasons; I'd be curious to know what your reasons are! My minor reasons are the film set ones: lighting gives you more control over aperture and ISO (so you can adjust aperture to taste, and keep ISO low). The two major reasons for me are: creating an effect (= mainly backlighting and colour contrast, like cold backlight and warm key light), and helping to deal with exposure contrast issues. To explain that last one... if you have weddings where there are speeches at daytime, or you're hanging a dress against a window in the morning, you can't solve this with aperture/ISO, because the more you brighten skintones/bride's dress, the more you blow the background. So, any light you can get makes things a little better. Similar situations also arise with receptions at night -- sometimes there is a big lit wall behind wherever they're speaking from; and sometimes they're speaking from behind a front table, and all the decorations on that table are white. -- It scares me that you leave monopod there and walk away from it. -- Monopod + gimbal combo was pretty new to me. Really interesting stuff. -- Getting reactions from people because of light + alcohol -- I'm iffy on that suggestion. I mean, sure, some people react positively. But I've filmed a lot of night clubs (with a lot of alcohol), and it can easily go the other way -- people hiding from the light, turning away when you approach them, etc. Plus, in terms of image, no one likes the look of front lights anyway, right? Two tips as an alternative to front light to get reactions (and I reckon you'll probably know these already): (1) the more energy you give out, the more energy you get back. Like, openly sing along to the music, smile at people, wave at them, and dance (as much as you can, stability permitting). Funny-dancing, making a fool of yourself can work really well. If you do all this, people are more receptive to being filmed. (2) if you get to know all the guests and interract with them beforehand, they're more receptive to being filmed -- for instance, if you've made friends with and remember the names of the bridal party during prep and photoshoot, if you've spoken to all the guests by going around to them during mains/entrees and asked for messages for the bride and groom, or if you've cracked a joke during the big group photo after the ceremony or whatever. But, disclaimer: for weddings, personally, I don't like people looking straight into the lens or playing up for the camera. I like natural and observational. But that's just personal taste.

Thanks for sharing this. Is the MKH50 good at picking up both subjects?

Promo SM 😪

I laughed so hard with the SDI topic. "Shocking right?" hahaha. I don't why it was funny :)) amazing video! It would be really nice to see your opinion on the new Komodo-X!

Excited for the Komodo X

All great tips brother. Completely agree with all this! Def wanna try the insta mics but they’re sold out!

Nice video! whats that vmount plate you're using?

Wonderful video man, loved the humor, as someone who also always has boxes coming in, i know what you’re talking about 😂.. keep it up!

Great video. I’m looking to upgrade from a BMPCC 6k and I was looking at the Z Came E2 F6. You mention you bought the Komodo from the f6. Would you say the quality jump is worth skipping the F6 and going straight to Komodo?

Realised that an Atmos Shinobi I own (for a previous camera) doesn’t have SDI connectivity - that’s not a criticism of the Shinobi - it’s in the lower price range - so - with the Red Komodo I’ve acquired - I’ll try monitoring through my smartphone with the Red App. Thanks for the video !

What a shame you didn't share the image quality of this camera you think so highly of.

Great video Dustin!

great video! Thank you!

I told my wife that every year I will be upgrading to a new camera. As a professional photographer these are my tools and when the tool makes my life and job easier they pay them self off. She kind of freaks out when I drop four to $5000 on a camera body and the lens. But she understands this is my livelihood and this makes us money. Sometimes it’s hard for her to grasp but in the end she understands. So it’s nice every year I get to buy a new camera. And I always have at least three. great video thanks for sharing

Hi there, do you really match Sony footage to it easily? I have the red komodo and was gonna get the FX3 as a B-cam. Do you think this is a good move? THankyou!

The beginning intro of this is gold hahaha 😂

I love the build. The Komodo is my dream camera. Looking to get one within the year.

Very informative video!

Do you work along with 3 cameras when shooting weddings?

Hi, you always shooting weddings in 60 fps? Me adviced in most cases 25 fps and in case for slow motion 60 or 120 fps.

Which nato rail do you use on the outrigger handle?

Best rig ive Seen 😄 thx
