EDIT: I've clarified with Audiio that my copyright claim was a mistake. That claim, along with the FAQ for Lifetime members and OTT services, sent me in the wrong direction, apologies to anyone for the confusion I created! My Original message below for reference: Here an Audiio lifetime member: BE AWARE that Lifetime subscription doesn't cover KZbin content, they nicely hide it away at the bottom of the page. Very shady.

[@WhySteve]

*East Africa. If Luc is heading to South Africa, HE BETTER hit me up! haha

[@thisiseric]

The one thing I bring with me on every shoot (almost as much as I bring a camera) is my wind up extension cord reels. They come in SOOOO clutch and have saved my butt on so many occasions when the location doesn't have power nearby and you need to power more powerful lights that don't use Vmount batteries or even for splitting one outlet into many outlets to charge gear during lunch breaks and such. I almost never go to a gig without bringing 2 extension cord reels. They see more use than everything other than my camera.

[@SirSeabass]

I have a 100D and a 60d for lighting. It does 90% of what I need. I definitely need something stronger for outside

[@fernandorestelli]

Hi Luc! I’ve been feeling the last videos a bit alike lately. It’s super useful to hear your thoughts on equipment, just would be great to go back to other topics. Keep up the great work, love the channel and don’t miss an episode

[@thomasfisch3718]

I appreciate your content. I've been making documentaries for 20 years, specializing in nomadic tribes in West Africa. When shooting, I travel with my backpack and 15 kilos of equipment, plus my tripod. It's hard for me to carry a lighting kit when I'm traveling in the middle of the desert without a 4x4 car and no electricity supply. The only lightweight option is a Westcott-type flexible LED panel and flexible solar panels to recharge the V-Mount batteries.

[@TomislavMoze]

really great option is ziyun molus x100 it is compact and powerful, the only downside it needs an adapter to be able to use it with larger modifiers and it is not weather resistant but you can power it from a power bank which could be useful for your type of work. I pair mine with aputure mini dome and you can create a solid fill light in most of conditions. I can fit in the small carry bag that comes with mini dome reflectors a small light stand and the adapter to mount the moles x100 to the octa- box.

[@adamsipione]

I keep putting off a flowtech in favour of buying less expensive things that I don't actually need, even though the total value of those things probably equal the cost of a flowtech. Love the video!

[@matthewwinne]

I have access to a lot of gear, but found myself shooting two full days with just a 24mm on an FX30 body. Not every shoot will allow you be so minimal, but when it happens it's a relief.

Appreciate your take on it and very much agree. I love my Sachtler flow tech 😅and use it all the time, but actually I still always think of my Sachtler Ace M I bought about 15 years ago when I think of how important half decent tripod is. It's not the best tripod in the world but I still use it for a second shot regularly, and it cost me £350 all those years ago! Cameras and gadgets have been and gone in that time.

Hey Luc - absolutely love your content, and the fact you have real hands on experience. I'm currently upgrading my entire set up and trying to decide between getting a DJI Ronin 4D with the flex attachment, or an FX6 combined with the DJI RS4 pro and new lidar system for auto focus. Mainly for single shooter doc style pieces, but also corporate and branded content. Really struggling to decide between the two, and don't know if you've used the 4D or RS4/RS3?

[@NYCMDP]

Sachtler crushes it but my favorite Sachtler alternative is Teris. Their 120 and 150 even have lights in their bubbles

[@Slicky_Slick]

Hello Luc! Can you make a video on how Cinematographers should charge or how to come to a conclusion on what to charge for a Documentary shoot, it really makes me feel bad to charge a higher rate it kinda makes me feel as if I am asking way too much. Can you please make a video on this topic and how to be bold in pricing and charging them a rate which is rightful.

[@Marcus_Visbal]

This video is SPOT ON!

[@avx111]

I can vouch for Osee monitors, affordable, super bright and color accurate. Set up is a bit of a PITA since it doesn't have a touchscreen but you really only have to set up your presets once. The Megamon 15" is also the best bang for buck for 1st ACs or Director's monitor.

[@NeilEvery]

Likewise! I have the Osee T7 and boy what a difference from my cheap AndyCine. Agree, the touchscreen can be a bit fiddly when setting up but otherwise it's a great monitor. I just wish there were better options for cages. Tons of options for Feelworld but the only option of seen for Osee T7 is the one by Nitze and the cheapest I've seen it is $140 CAD

[@hoziwozi]

That 416 and G3 Lav, spot on.

[@christuusgnosis]

I had a non video related portable power need, a musical device which pulls more than 2.5 amps for a second at powerup then runs on very low. I didn't know about the vmounts.Very cool.

[@elcasanelles5806]

I went the audio route because you have gained high credibility with me. However, if I have to be honest, I struggle to find music there, and I do not need tons of it.

[@georgerady9706]

Well, I started (as a lifelong Nikon shooter) with the “game changer” Film Maker’s Kit - shooting ProRes RAW over HDMI to a Ninja recorder) only to find out Apple FCPX was never gonna support Nikon… So I’ve been “investing” in Sony for that last couple of years and I think I am at the point where - the more I spend on equipment - the more I waste (as if the A1 / FX3 and array of GM lenses might not already be overkill?) all sitting on Sachtler Ace-Ms Other than the “video capture” ecosystem… got Aputure 120D, 300x and 600x, couple Godox tubes and the IntellyTech panels. And for Audio Zoom F8n, Sennheiser Boom, and Diety UHF lavs - all audio off camera and close to Talent as possible!

[@gabrielmachadobsb]

Luc, do you think it would be possible to review the YC Onion Pineta Peak Mark II tripod? CineD made some appealing comparisons to the Sachtler flowtech, but your opinion would be much more valuable than one from a tech channel Idk if they would send you an unit to review but maybe it's worth a try

Thanks for the advice !! But a viewfinder off camera a 7inch is better.. what about ON camera? With smaller cameras ? To pull focus accuratly even with good brands would you prefer a 7 inch than a smaller 5inch in line with smaller cameras like C70, C400 ??

[@theowlfromduolingo7982]

I own a sony a7 IV and own a moman v mount battery plus a patona dummy battery to power the camera. I’ve heard that powering a camera and monitor (ninja v in my case) off the same v mount battery is very risky since it can fry the camera.

With TV still mostly in HD, and 4k still new and broadcasted in low quality because of low bandwidth internet that most people have, I think the days of needing new cameras is coming to an end. We're getting close to the parity of the 90's. You buy a betacam for 5 to 8 years and thats that. I mean, does anyone need more than an fs7? No. Do we need to replace an a7s 3 or a gh7? No. Theres just not much to gain anymore, and half the industry still uses HD cameras. I am hoping I am not wrong. But like, outside of 6k, 8k, 9k, 25k resolution what on earth is there to add? Really? Were at a plateau and my friends in TV say we've been there since 1080 60p was standard on all cameras lol.

I was a victim of AndyCine lol. I'm affirm believer in small HD, even though it hurts my pocket. but its lo I only cry ones lol.

[@WhySteve]

Talking about how some of the gear is more accessible than back in the day makes me think how crazy it is that a small 4k cam with a fast 35mm, wireless mic pack, gimbal or tripod and molus X100 will be good enough for most scenarios. A good laptop with Davinci Resolve free, hell even studio is cheap, in the right hands can make for a professional end result, even for big productions. And it all fits into ONE camera bag! I mean that's really stripping down an entire production crew with gear rentals and studio space and turns an entire $500000 production into a $5000 guerilla MACHINE haha. Oh yes, and then there's AI doing some of the work too! Again, keyword "IN THE RIGHT HANDS", but still, just that it is possible, is a crazy thought.

[@louie8488]

Luc, I'd really love to see a comparison or just your thoughts on the laowa S35 17-50 vs the Fuji 18-55 zooms. The form factor of the Laowas are pretty crazy, but I've shot a lot on the fuji 19-90 cabrio and really love the way that lens looks. The laowas seem a bit clinical? I know your channel covers larger filmmaking ideas but would be great to hear your thoughts as I'm in asia and there's no where near me that stocks cine equipment, and there aren't many doc shooting fuji owners on youtube with your expertise :) Additionally just your thoughts on the C400 and canon in general. Im an ex canon shooter and have moved to sony, but still own some canon glass and honestly quite miss the canon IQ and general shooting experience. Do you think canon can make a comeback in the doco world? I'd love to grab a C400 (my A cam is currently an FX3 while I waited for the next big release), but I know most doc style productions strictly hire sony shooters these days. Thanks a bunch :)

[@LucForsyth]

I’ve never used the S35 laowas, but based on the FF Ranger lenses I would agree with that they’re on the more “clean” side. Maybe the s35 are different though, so don’t quote me on that! The cabrio is a beast, but a bit heavy - the MK version are perfect in my opinion as long as you’re ok with s35. Unless they break/get stolen, they’re going to be my go tos for a very long time. As for canon, they’re great. The camera looks fantastic, but I’m so deep into the Sony ecosystem at this point it’s unlikely I’ll change. Maybe I’ll get a chance to use it on someone else’s project though, and if so I’ll share my thoughts!

[@jn-xw3cq]

Hey, Luc, if I could I would love to join on your trip to East Africa if you need another AC, PA or grip. I grew up in East Africa (my family lived in Uganda for 10 years and the last 4 I spent at a boarding school in Kenya 45 minutes outside of Nairobi). However, I doubt I could afford up and traveling rn. I also am a third year film student who is trying to get on as a PA for local feature film that starts filming at the end of the month. Meeting the line producer in a few days.

[@7RYMS]

Hi Luc Forsyth, thanks for your video.We'd like to discuss the possibility of working with you. What should we do?

[@MayerAd]

Luc, I'm wondering if you have any advice on whether or not the 5" monitor or the 7" monitor is best. Any others who know about this, I'd also love to hear from you.

[@LucForsyth]

for me 5” is the way to go for on camera, but that’s because I travel a ton and need minimal weight. I also have a 7” for studio shooting, but I don’t take it internationally. So it depends what you’re doing with it!

[@xjet25]

What's a "bongo" in your AC kit? 8:33

[@RattledPan]

Meh. I'm still figuring out what side of my Pixel has the camera on it, so I am lightyears away from some of these tasty things you wave around, Luc. I walk away with gems of your information, and may not have/get some of this, its important to be familiar with it. As you pointed out, tech always gets cheaper, and I know that the less I have to work with makes me stronger. I may piss and moan, but it makes me resourceful and sharpens my vision to possibilities. I'm also completely sold on buying used equipment. I go to KEH because they are so good at hold handing and teaching me things rather than just mailing me my purchases. Have you talked about those possibilities? I'd be interested in your thoughts about buying used equipment from rental dealers. I am all about cheap and cheap as wise as I can buy it. I would love to take advantage of rental services like Audiio, but since I am still working on how to open a new project and save it on Resolve😁🙄 that's still down the road for me. An audio/copyright issue that has me stumped--I've been told not to even attempt at writing your own music, somehow it will be made into a copyright litigation. OK, fair enough. But could a creator make one's own single tone sounds manipulated, to add or to denote the action/feelings of a scene? I'm sure you sensibly don't answer questions about law, a wise move, but on the odd chance I might catch you in a moment of weakness: some thoughts on a purely imagined action such as this? I used to work at Kinkos, back when it was relevant, and I had no choice but to play the copyright police with sly businesspeople. That's when I learned how to use my Adult Voice to get customers to listen to me. "Who's your boss?!" "God. Next?"

[@LucForsyth]

my main complaint on the Andycine I used was the poor focus peaking. All the other features are fine, but for me if the focus peaking isn’t good then it fails its main job - to help me frame and shoot better. As a doc shooter all the other stuff is nice to have, but not essential. In a studio environment it might be fine, just not for what I do!

They might have changed this by now, but when I tried they didn't even have an interface to white list a KZbin channel and instead just gave you a PDF to email KZbin if Audiio sent you a copyright strike.
