Tonight I started research for my first camera for which I'm going to be saving money for next two,three months and then get myself a Sony ZV E10 (body only ) with Tamron 17-70. And I believe it would be enough to get me started and then little by little I will stack up a studio for myself. I'm currently employed as a writer, writing audio shows for an online platform but I want to make films of my own. I want to write, direct, edit, total control over my film. I want to do everything or atleast first learn to do everything by my own before employing other people to get my stories out. (Except acting, I would need them from the beginning) So what I wanted to say was after spending all my night I decided on the above plan, and final nail in this was your video about the camera and it's relevant gadgets. I was making separate notes and plans to gather all gadgets but when I saw your video, you just told me exactly what I was thinking at the moment, the things I would need. (I've been present in a few film shoots and a friend worked as videographer). So thanks a lot for your work. I'm impressed and grateful to have reached to you and I'm here to stay. I would love to learn more from you. Overall, even in a first instance, I felt good the way you approached it. A grateful sub here. ❤❤❤

Though I'm from India and I'll have to look for these products in here and many of them I can't seem to find yet but I'm sure I'll get my hands on the alternatives.

[@ashutosh4978]

If it wouldn't be a bother to you, please update India links for these products too. Only if it's not cumbersome.

K&F has a cheaper 99wh V-mount battery at around 105USD. Hopefully they'll also create at least a 160wh version

[@SiddharthaJoshiFilms]

Excellent collection!

[@SightseeingStan]

Thanks a lot! 🙏

[@anthonypc-248]

Which diffusion filter did you choose for these talking shots? 3:20 It looks like the ideal subtle localized halation to me!

[@SightseeingStan]

It's a 1/4 Tiffen Pro Mist filter

[@MattSpaugh]

Awesome list - super practical stuff.

[@SightseeingStan]

@@MattSpaugh Glad you think so Matt! 🙌

[@MattSpaugh]

And FWIW, that Ulanzi hazer is on sale for 89 USD right now - just ordered one!

[@SightseeingStan]

@@MattSpaugh Oh nice, that's a steal! 👍

[@MattSpaugh]

@@SightseeingStan BUYER BEWARE... the 89 dollar one does not include batteries or fog fluid... why would they sell this unit without those two items... really disappointed.

[@SteveMcKenzie]

Great video!!!

[@SightseeingStan]

Glad you liked it!

[@DigiDriftZone]

Why diopters and not an extension tube? - genuinely curious, I read that extension tube usually gives better quality and also means 1 set of extension tubes for all lenses instead of multiple diopters for different filter sizes.

[@SightseeingStan]

Good question and a lot of it is a matter of preference. I like the look of diopters. With extension tubes you lose light and most extension tubes don't allow communication between lens and body. I have 82mm diopters and use step up rings. Allthough this is not ideal if the diameter difference is too big, I haven't had any issues so far.

[@DigiDriftZone]

@@SightseeingStan need to try this. My extension tube for Sony has contacts so full communication with the lens (though autofocus has limited usefulness), also usually if you’re getting this close you’re stopping down to get more than 1mm of depth of field. Never tried diopters though, curious now :)

[@Misters_Direction]

Beautiful Video

[@SightseeingStan]

@@Misters_Direction thanks a lot! 🙏

[@MathieuStern]

I think I have Diopters for every single filter size now :)

[@SightseeingStan]

I get you Mathieu! They are great! I actually have a 82mm set and use step up rings for other diameter lenses

[@tanner.quintero]

Affects quality?

[@isaactinoco1]

@@tanner.quintero3 Days late. No, it doesn’t. Glass is usually the sharpest in the center, so when using a step up ring you actually get more of the image shot through that center area, because the filter is spread out across your lens.

[@joshrathbun1]

love these!

Glad you liked it 🙌

[@davemorphling7432]

you show a nisi athena lens but it's not listed in your video description links, is the camera you shoot with also not a73?
