Hi Neil, Is there any similar lens that goes with Nikon Z system? The Laowa 15 mm f2 has similar focusing distance but not macro capabilities as far as I know. would it be very different?

Amazing!

Hi Thanks for the video, very informative. What is that handheld softbox you are using? Please advise Many thanks

Anyone know this dog breed?

What do you use to capture audio?

Do you get condensation inside the lens with the cold? 🤷🏽‍♂️

this is for me so far the best macrophotography guide here on YT.

Beautiful, an amaizing way to use the drone in an artistic way. Greetings from México city

Neil, impressive setup you have in a not-so-controlled outdoor environment. I have to believe the diffraction is pretty bad at 50x. Are you able to control it to a reasonable level with the numerical aperture (NA)?

Excellent video

Great explanation on depth of field.

Drobo was probably the first to release storage products featuring "hybrid" mismatched drive sizes. Synology and the other vendors figured out how to replicate the technology, which is just Linux storage with an absurd configuration. Please do not use any kind of hybrid storage, and do the correct thing which to install same sized disks with traditional (proven) software RAID. I wont go into the technical details as to why one should avoid hybrid types except to say they dramatically reduce the chances of recovery. Hybrid types are a gamble of ideas, like being so penny pinching cheap to rationalize the value right now vs the future cost of lossing the data when one of the mixed drives fails. To be fair hybrid types can usually recover when a few sectors suddenly go bad, but the risk increases when an entire drive fails, and especially when the failed drive is the largest sized of the set. Anyhow, do yourselves a huge favor and forget hybrid.

Your shot at 09:34 blew me away and fully sold me on the capabilities of this lens. Love the stopped down aperture, because what's the point in including a tonne of the background if it's then obscured by a shallow depth of field. Great vid!

Hey can this shoot vertically?

amazing man 🎉❤

I need to say this again, this video is gold. I used to do professions fashion photography so I know my camera settings, but this video opened my eyes to what I thought I already knew for my drone photography and video. If this video was a woman, I'd marry her 😂

Mate, this video 😘

Wow el superman en aquel drop fue fenomenal que buenos campeonatos...

Thanks

This is golden. Thank you!!

But all your shots in this tutorial were video macro!! Do you have tutorials on video macro?? Is a Nikon z8 good enough for macro?

I don't often comment on videos. I've probably watched hundreds of NAS / DAS videos in the past few months. As a post-production professional, I'm working mostly from home and since cloud providers (dropbox) has stopped with unlimited storage, I've been looking at alternate solutions. While this topic/unit isn't unique to this video, your perspective definitely is. I can't find enough creators considering budget and giving a visual step-by-step data migration breakdown with illustrations (wonderfully done by the way). The fact that I'm also a new father really hit home for me in this video if I saw that tiny hand correctly. 1500USD as a father has a different shade than 1500USD as a bachelor. Thank you for the wonderful video, I'm planning to move 182TB of data out of the cloud ultimately (combined team data), but will start with my personal data just under 13TB. Considering an all SSD NAS using SHR-1 and slowly building up.

Absolutely spot on in all aspects.

what a professional explanation !!! and wow at 8:28 where/how did you shot that ?

Did my first drone shot today and I'm here to edit now I'm learning new things

Gorgeous footage, brilliant technique graphics, wonderful tips, and a happy dog! Love this and thanks for sharing!

What gender is this ribbon seal?

Amazing images your putting outdude,thanks for the video

The cannon 5d mrk 2 image quality still beats what's my Sony A7r3 can do. I wish I had never sold it.

🎉 Awesome very nice and informative video Brother ❤

There are often spectacular cloud formations which adds a lot to a beautiful sunrise,sunset or background.

I am lucky to use the Sony system, so I have the excellent Voigtländer Macro Apo-Lanthar 65mm 2.0 Aspherical and the Voigtländer Macro Apo-Lanthar 110mm 2.5 which both have outstanding optical image quality.

Awesome that almost every shot has the "specs" of the shot. Kinda a peak behind the magic. Wonderful!!

Thanks You For this it helped me alot!

Very informative video. For this lens, what would be the best light to get when doing videos at night?

thank you for your video I am indeed looking for a replacement for the 100mm RF macro because I don't find it super defined/spicy just on ants 1/200 - F8 - ISO 100 to 400 so to the comments of your 2 videos on the LAOWA 90/100 I'm seriously thinking about the 90 to go on an R7 Does this seem like a good approach to you? THANKS

Incredible production, awesome review/script, fantastic vibes. Can't believe I am just now finding this channel. Subbed. Hope you produce some more photo/video related content!

Amazing video. So informative

Great vid, one thing with Synology is that you always have to remember you're paying for the top of class OS and software, not the hardware (that's usually mediocre at best)! Just curious, as you you said you're not so interested in the NAS capabilities (don't understand why, they're pretty damned good, but hey! your call) did you try just connecting the volume (or shared work folders) using an iSCSI LUN from the NAS to your PC/Mac?

In 2024, still the best review ever.

how did you shoot frogs with a softbox? are they in your studio :) ?

great video.

Excellent video, thank you.

Hi Neal, thanks for sharing your knowledge! There were so many important information's, excellent! I 100% support your ethic codex at the end! We are all just guests on this world, and guests must must know how to behave!

Gimbal is so hard to do smooth start and stop

found one, close to spadina river and university. At Saskatoon, this happened last july 20,2024

I love how you turn the message from big animals to these little ones. Your approach to macro videography is so inspiring, resulting in solid footage that's visually appealing and continuously enhancing your storytelling. Thanks for share.

Thank you

Guys I just did my first drone video!! Can I have some feedback?

Please can you provide links for all the products you've used. It would be great help.
