Canon C70 || 1 Year Later

[@PD-qt8vq]

Your work is amazing. Both your composition and color grading. Your R5 video was excellent as is this one. Thank you for taking the time to share this.

[@hellotmrw]

Wow that’s extremely kind. Thank you so much!

[@yourstorytold]

Just picked up a second C70 this week. Completely agree about the tiny little mirrorless cameras, give me something that fits my hand!

[@hellotmrw]

Right?!?! The C70 just feels perfect in the hand. So good!

[@RayValdezPhotography]

i have been thinking about getting another 70 as well. I pair it with a r3 right now.

[@WaywardNorth]

The C70 is such a beautiful camera! I rented it for a few weddings and almost added it to my kit back in Jan but impulsively switched gears to Sony. Awesome review & so stoked for your course launch!

[@hellotmrw]

It reeeeaally is. Oh whoa dude you switched to Sony!?!? Woooow what did you end up going with? Hope to see videos on that soon. And thanks so much for the course love! Your support has been so awesome and we can't wait to get it out to everyone!

[@WaywardNorth]

@@hellotmrw I went with the A7Siii and A7IV. I had a friend who bought an extra by accident (still trying to figure out how he did that lol) but yeah .. so rocking team Sony this year. Excited to push it to its limits and create with em this year!

[@joshdiditt]

Get the Viltrox Speedbooster and the Tamron 24-70 2.8 VR lens. The vibration reduction works great. I only use Tamron lenses with VR (35, 45, 24-70 2.8)

[@hellotmrw]

I must admit I've never used a Tamron lens. That one sounds like it's awesome! I didn't even know they had a vibration reducer. I'll check it out!

[@refvideopro]

I have the Tamron 45mm 1.8 with VC and love it! Works great on the C70

[@Dannyhallfilms]

I recently paired my c70 with an R3 and have been pretty happy. I def miss build in nds but having one camera with ibis and much better build quality and wether sealing has been nice! I've been really happy with the battery life on it too. I mostly wanted it for when I'm shooting elopements and we always end up with crazy weather on a hike or by the ocean.(I love in PNW). C70 in my A cam most of the time but use the R3 as primary when I need something more rugged and want to snag some photos too. Def not the cheapest route 😂 but I'm happy!

[@hellotmrw]

Oh whoa that would be a killer combo. I've never used the R3 before but it looks fantastic. How is the IBIS on it? Is it similar to the R5? Yeah we're in Vancouver so I totally get how the weather sealing would be helpful. Not cheap but that kit will serve you well! How do you find those cameras cut together?

[@Dannyhallfilms]

@@hellotmrw I would assume the ibis is similar but I actually haven't used an R5 or R6. I was scared off by the battery life and overheat issues. I don't use a 15 to 35 at all so the widest I shoot is on a 24 to 70. I haven't experienced much of the infamous wobble though! Matching the two together has been pretty easy so far. I shoot Clog2 on c70 mostly and clog3 on the R3. The R3 is noticeably sharper but whether that's a good or bad thing is really all on preference.they match up pretty well. I will say the main thing I miss on the R3 is false color and wave forms. But I think I can add a small light monitor for that. They also both have Cannon Raw light now, so I'm excited to test out those as well!

[@RayValdezPhotography]

i have an r3 and c70 as well.

[@EricFloberg]

Yes.

[@hellotmrw]

Mmmhmmmm.

[@greyhousevisual]

The image from the C70 looks iiiincredible 🙌🏻 annnnd stoked on the course 😍😍😍

[@hellotmrw]

Duuuuude it's a joy to use! Thanks so much man can't wait to get that course out!

[@michaeldbliss]

man! your color grade is soooo nice. Also have the c70 and love it, this just inspired me to get back into color to try to improve though haha

[@JayFingers]

I’m right there with you - the C70 is my first exposure (heh) to false color and now I can’t go back. 😭 I also love the built-in NDs. I will say, however, I do love the smaller form factor of the R5C, which is why I plan on getting one instead of another C70. Its small size is an advantage over the C70 IMO. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🙌🏾

[@brandontizol1666]

I've had a C70 for close to a year and a half now. Easily my favorite camera for video that I've ever owned. Had an R5 too, but recently switched out to the R5C. Both amazing cameras. Needed the stills, so went R5C instead of a second C70.. but either way Canon is hitting homeruns right now.

[@hellotmrw]

Agreed! It's easily my favourite camera I've ever used. Oh the R5C is tempting? For stills it makes so much sense. How are you finding the battery life on it?

[@TizOnly1]

@@hellotmrw the battery life is garbage, but I literally just keep a power bank in my pocket and run the usb cord up to the camera and shoot for however long is needed. Haven't had a single issue with it this way. Power bank also charges my phone and laptop as needed, so it's honestly a great solution.

[@Roman.the.explorer]

I've been debating if I should get c70 for sometime now. Rented twice, loved it. Using R5 for short commercials now and been spoiled with the autofocus. However love the log2 and dr and built in nds are so key on c70! Ugghgg so hard to make a decision 🙈

[@hellotmrw]

Yeah that R5 autofocus is a tough one to give up. But in my opinion it's worth it. That dr and video features is just too good. I don't think you'd regret it!

[@Roman.the.explorer]

@@hellotmrw thank you! I am very close on pulling the trigger :)

[@MarkHuynh7]

Woo its been a minute haha welcome back to the tubzz

[@hellotmrw]

I don't know what you're talking about, I'm on here all the time and am very consistent 😅

[@caseybachmeyer]

the most important between c70 and r5c is the dr and the possibility to push up the shadows insanely with clog 2 on the c70. The r5c dont even have clog2.

[@itsmarcocanlas]

Mac is back 😎

[@wenskley]

Great video! I’m about to get a C70, and I’m so pumped. Where can I find that handle you have on yours?

[@hellotmrw]

Nice!! You're gonna love it! This is the handle we use... amzn.to/38S4ANV - Love it!

[@ruff1draft]

Would have the Canon C70 over the Blackmagic Pocket cinema camera 6K. But I must admit I would love the Blackmagic Pocket cinema camera 6K pro and the Panasonic S1H and Panasonic S1

[@LALoveCreative]

Dude love the Canon C70 Content. I love making videos about this camera on my channel. We shoot weddings on it and are thinking about picking up another one. Btw we need more videos haha

[@hellotmrw]

Dude your stuff is awesome! Thanks for the love and we absolutely will be posting more videos haha.

[@LALoveCreative]

@@hellotmrw Glad you’re gonna post more. Great content bro

[@GDoggProductions]

loving your colours right now 🤩💯🤙 do you have your own luts or a tutorial on how you grade your footage

[@hellotmrw]

Thank you so much! I've been fine tuning it a lot lately. We have LUTs available as part of our online course but we are considering selling them individually too. Maybe we should get on that soon? No grading tutorial just yet but again we do have one as part of our online course.

[@PD-qt8vq]

@@hellotmrw I would like to add to what GDogg shared. Your color work is outstanding. Your skin tones are the most pleasing I have seen across all c70 videos I have seen (and I have watched a ton of late). I do hope (at some point) that you will offer your approach to color grading and LUTs.

[@hellotmrw]

@@PD-qt8vq Wow really!? That's amazing! Ok we're on it! Thanks so much for the encouragement :)

[@kacofilms_weddings]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Just bought one C70 too! :-)

[@hellotmrw]

Oh no way!? Oh man a C70 in your hands will be dangerous 🙌

[@CollingFilms]

Great review. I love this camera so much. But how in the world do you customize a button to simply switch to 60 from 24? closest i could find is just do a frame rate button and then move it to 60 and then exit out. its quick but its not just a button press. what am i missing?!

[@hellotmrw]

Thank you!! Ah that’s the same workaround I’ve done. No idea why you can’t just simply switch to 60 fps in one button press. So frustrating!

[@Tritoon710]

Great review. What cage is this? with the wooden handle. Thx

[@hellotmrw]

This is the tilta cage with the Smallrig wooden side handle. Great combo!

[@ThorCaes]

Hey Mack! I saw in the comments that you've filmed this with one of your C70's and I am really digging the results. I was just wondering, what lighting set-up did you use for this? It really, really looks nice. I've just started sharing street photography videos on KZbin and am planning to do some educational videos in the long run. So I'm really trying to get my footage smooth, similar to yours.

[@hellotmrw]

So glad you like what you see! This was a pretty basic lighting setup with a Aputure 120d and soft box just outside of frame to my left, a little aputure LED cube as a kicker and then the practical in the background. Hope this helps!

[@Jaydexterphoto]

Great video.

[@hellotmrw]

Thank you very much!!

[@derrickmaniecaphotography7492]

Love this man. Where can I possibly look to get a good used C70 or R5?

[@hellotmrw]

Thanks so much! Honestly a lot of the time Facebook Marketplace can be great for used gear.

[@nicksince9487]

Hey man, I really love your work! Would you mind sharing your color grading process? This video looks incredible. Is it a LUT that you're using?

[@hellotmrw]

Thanks so much!! You’re probably seeing a handful of things. The light, the exposure, and the custom LUT. Glad you dig it!

[@hellotmrw]

Oh and yes I’ll put together a color process video for the channel!

I definitely recommend the tilta cage. It's solid and perfect for rigging up how you want.

[@scottievee330]

I love my C70's. Never going without. I have a R5c too. Veddy nice. Is your shirt buttoned up all the way to cover gang tattoos? Just got that vibe.

Great Job I have a question for you What camera did you use? For this video If these images are from R5 Undoubtedly the image I have ever seen from this camera The images are super cinematic and smooth

[@hellotmrw]

Thank you so much! This was shot on the Canon C70. I'm such a fan of the image this camera can produce. We picked up up another C70 for weddings which is why I'm able to have one C70 in my hand while another one was used to film this video.

[@drewski5k177]

Great video! Where did you get that handle from ? Thanks

[@hellotmrw]

Thank you! The handle is from Smallrig - amzn.to/3NgGEmt

[@orlandimatteo88]

Hey buddy whats the wooden grips you’re using on the tilta cage. Are the rotatable ?

[@talkintome181]

Hey, love the review! Can I ask a question? The script is nealy finshed for an independet movie, a sicoal drama. I always wanted a 6K Pro, but now the C70 can do RAW, i think of buying a c70 isted of a BMPCC. Is this a good camera for cinema? Is 6K pro Better? Or another camera in this price range? Thanks!

[@Drunken_Pil0t]

I am in my 9th year doing wedding videography and I started by watching a ton of your films on Vimeo back in 2012 😆. HelloTomorrow was my inspiration. I love all of your films🙌. I am currently shooting on the R6 but the overheating issue is killing me!!! debating if i should sell my liver and a leg to get a c70 or R5c...I even thought about switching to Sony A7siii. But im heavily invested into Canon all these years.... sigh....dilemma 😔.

[@hellotmrw]

This is the best comment ever! You’re an OG follower! Thanks so much for the kind words. Oof that overheating is the worst. The C70 is pretty killer and you could probably find some decent deals on some used ones? Not a cheap setup tho for sure. Sigh indeed 😬

[@rogerdominh]

Hello, any trouble to access the buttons on the left side (ND filters) with your left hand grip ? Thank you.

[@johnnyweissmuller5838]

The sonys are not better in ”low light” in the way you describe, try setting a fx3 to iso 3200 and watch the insane amount of noise

[@loveelrae]

I need a B cam for my c70. Does your R5 overheat? I like it but worried about it failing on a job

[@hellotmrw]

In regular 4K it doesn’t overheat ever. In HQ mode I wouldn’t rely on it for A roll or interviews as it will overheat after 20-30 minutes of non stop use. For B roll it’s totally fine in HQ mode.

[@loveelrae]

@@hellotmrw Thanks for your reply. I thought about using a ninja v but I was told it can still overheat. Any recommendations other than the R5? I would love to stay with the cannon mount but I might have to look elsewhere for ibis

Yeah I really grew to dislike the ibis on the R5. They made the right call for the R5C.

[@masterfangeek6689]

Was there a desire to change r5 to R5 C?

[@hellotmrw]

Not really actually. It’s appealing somewhat but the battery restraints to me are a big reason I wasn’t interested.

[@masterfangeek6689]

@@hellotmrw ок. Perhaps the second camera will be just R3, since the battery is important, at the same time you will get a top-end camera with a comfortable grip in both directions? Or R5 with Canon BG-R10 Battery Grip, which will be probably more correct, because the sensor is the same, and cheaper. Take R3 for a review first, compare R5C with R3, in different shooting scenarios, in Log 3, as well as the usual modes that are comfortable for you, and you will understand whether the pictures are comparable, whether it is easy to compare them. They say that R3 at high ISO is predictable in noise, "does not wash" colors, does not soap the picture much, as does the S iii.
