GEAR I use for TRAVEL/CINEMATIC videos

[@stanleyezidiegwu7187]

I like how you use affordable stuff and make great video still

[@newfoundmass]

The Opteka lenses isn't made softer by the adapter you're using as it's simply a dumb adapter (it doesn't have any glass elements or anything), it's likely just a soft lens naturally. It's also a 170mm full frame equivalent on the G7, which definitely doesn't help with the jitter!

[@yahirfilms1380]

You can't beat the g7 for the money

[@alfviktor.101]

Hell no its the beast

[@JanKlaeui]

Great video Aidin! :) Subscribed ;)

[@loborob5853]

Nice job as always Aidin.

[@AidinRobbins]

Thanks!

[@OlivertheJoyboy]

Thanks for sharing ur gear Aidin !!!! Dope effect at 6:02 ! awesome vid !! Thanks dog 🐶 😎 also I'm wearing ur keep creating shirt as I watch this. Glad to be reppin a great message

[@AidinRobbins]

Haha I appreciate it Oliver!

[@loffe4451]

The Sigma 16mm f1.4 MFT Lens is a beast, great Boka

[@xella7735]

Great to see what gear you use!

[@KaiwenGaming]

Notification Squadd! Btw congrats on 14k!

[@AidinRobbins]

Thank you! ✌️

[@dukebozikowski3801]

I think you might like the canon SL2/ 200d more than the G7. It takes better photos, has higher quality lenses, has dual pixel autofocus, and has a higher quality slow motion. Do you really use 4k (do you really need it?). It's a lot harder to edit. I'm trying to sell my G7 for the Sl2

[@cronicalyt2386]

I have a Question: What would you buy if you are a beginner: or better say a "Starter Kit" for beginners, where you have all things for filmmaking. Could you make a Video

[@Bluerush1992]

Hey Aiden what quick release plates do you use? Looked up a few videos and I’m not quite sure who to trust so if you can find the same model can you tell me which ones you used? Thank you!

[@jpmacrae]

try the viltrox ef-m2 focal reducer, if you want to eventually transition back to canon it will help you

[@AidinRobbins]

I'm actually using a Metabones now haha 🤙

[@Cagey7531]

Adapters with no glass elements have no bearing on overall lens image quality, they merely act as a spacer to fill in for the lack of mirror, and of course add the right mount. If anything images will seem sharper on M43 as you are only using the centre portion of the lens

[@KaiwenGaming]

Facts

[@AidinRobbins]

Cool guess the lens is just soft as hell

[@rafaelvanleeuwen]

Awesome video! Can you make a detailed video about the Lumix G7? Maybe the best settings to film in a dark situation or what setttings you're using when you're shooting a video like this.

[@AidinRobbins]

All of my camera settings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2XbkH6pZ8eZa9U

[@stg_reigns5333]

I was going to ask for this kind of video!

[@AdamSmolarek]

Hi What's the name of quick release plate?

[@marcellarey]

Nicely done. Please share the link for the quick release. Thanks!

[@HitfilmGermany]

Impressing gear! Awesome video as always

[@ariana165]

I have the same camera + mic. I love em

[@gokhancengiz416]

Dude i relly like your channal. You help me alot. Please keep doing it:)

[@gabevansloun5914]

Hey aidin you should try putting your gimble on a monopod, you can get some pretty cool effects that are similar to a jib

[@AidinRobbins]

Don't have a monopod atm but I've seen that in some Brandon Li videos and it looks sick

[@KaiwenGaming]

How do you do the transition at 6:03? I’ve seen it a lot in your vids and I think it’s really cool!

[@AidinRobbins]

Luma fade, look it up 🤙

[@KaiwenGaming]

Aidin Robbins will do!

[@nbpfilms177]

The g7 really is similar to my camera, the Canon eos sl2. The sl2 also has a cropped sensor and since I really like the professionalism and look of your videos, could you recommend some lenses for crop sensors that work with canon? Thanks Aidan and keep it up!

[@ezra3233]

I'm not Aidin but imma give you recommendations anyway, a 10-18 mm lens will be a good fit if you're vlogging, it's not that cheap though, I love canon sl2 and looking forward on getting one on the future

[@lukestrege502]

Do you ever have trouble balancing your G7 on the crane since it is so light? I just got a crane plus, same size as v2 and I can seem to get it to tilt sideways left and right.

[@epochstories]

Really like your content! Just saw your Iceland video and it's absolutely stunning! What are your thoughts on panasonic G85/G80? I was planning on buying one for video, but from what I've seen the AF is not good at all apparently. Also you recommend buy offbrand clone batteries. Is there any specifics you would recommend? Isn't there downsides from buying those? Keep doing a great work!

[@AidinRobbins]

Never used one but I use the G7, it's pretty similar and I like it. I guess offbrand batteries might not last as long but considering the price difference there's no reason to but from the camera brand imo

[@epochstories]

Aidin Robbins thank you very much :)

[@newfoundmass]

EPOCH the G85 has decent auto focus comparable to the G7, maybe even better. It also includes IBIS which really is great.

[@epochstories]

newfoundmass thank you :) I might go with that

[@alecmuellervisuals61]

Been considering a gimbal for quite a while now but my main question is, how hard is it to get focus right while on the gimbal wit the g7?? I assume you don't have a follow-focus and I've always thought without that and with the g7's tiny m4/3 lenses and focus rings it would be quite a challenge. Unless you're shooting everything on the gimbal with a high aperture where everything's in focus.🤔

[@AidinRobbins]

I just use autofocus lol, not even worth trying to use manual on a gimbal imo

[@alecmuellervisuals61]

Aidin Robbins gotcha, makes sense

[@Marlonorellana]

Dumb question but the quick release plate is that the one that everyone basically uses for the crane 2? I wanna switch my crane plus to a quick release lol

[@poke6998]

Hi,you shoot in 4k and then downscale 1080p? I have the Panasonic G7 and I cant make it look as good as in your videos.

[@samfriedmanmedia]

Can you do a tutorial or a lesson on sound effects in a cinematic sequence. Like all the sound effects in that super cinematic ending so the Iceland video. They really make the video good but idk how to do it.

[@AidinRobbins]

I'm working on starting a series about creative sound design soon :)

[@earlmarquez9029]

5:09 Was this autofocus? Or did you switch focus points manually for this?

[@AidinRobbins]

just the autofocus, I'm not skilled enough for that haha

Wow I’ve the pretty same gear execpt the gimbal and I only have the 14-140mm kit lens on the G7 but wow your film are way better than mine ! I will work on this with your videos ! +1 sub

[@jakesofalltrades7129]

Was always curious to know your gears.

[@nyrubin]

I think u blew everyones mind with g7 💪✌. I was expecting a red or canon c300 😂💪✌

[@BraineZVisuals]

Sweet!

[@WALiDVLOG2016]

Good

[@nahedanis3516]

Jordy from Cinecom just mentioned you in Orange 83's video!

[@JohnTL]

Great video! Also how did you buy all of your gear?

[@AidinRobbins]

1) made some money from making videos 2) saved it

[@JohnTL]

How did you get video jobs?

[@JohnTL]

Also thanks!!!

[@CollinsCamera]

Hey I've been watching your videos for a while, good stuff. I'm going to Colorado this summer and was wondering if there would be a problem at the airport security check because of my batteries. I heard that you can't take lithium batteries on the plane. Is this true? Keep up the good work ; )

[@AidinRobbins]

I think if you take a larger lithium battery like a drone it has to be checked but I've never had a problem with my camera batteries

[@CollinsCamera]

Alright thanks!

[@MR-lx7kc]

Nice hands you got there! Nice vid. Anyway, how tall are you?

[@AidinRobbins]

Like 5'6 lol

[@sunlightdavid]

Wish I could carry my Sony A7sii on a gimbal like you do. I feel like the gimbal would snap from the weight if I just walk around holding one part of it like that. lol!

[@AidinRobbins]

pshh it'll befine

[@nielsdee1242]

Should I shoot 4k 30fps or 1080p 60fps

[@benvyzelus]

what pc do you have?

[@jelte6831]

bokeh has nothing to do with the sensor size. it's because the bigger lenses you have to use, because there is no crop if you use a full frame camera

[@AidinRobbins]

Please don't be that person 🤦‍♂️ a 50mm f/1.4 on full frame will have a shallower depth of field than a 25mm f/1.4 on micro four thirds, that's what I meant smh

[@jelte6831]

allright thats great (that you already knew) , I'm sorry if I underestimated you, not my intention to make you mad. It wouldn't be strange if you didn't know how this workes, because a lot of people still dont. great vid and the good work up

[@clairebear6993]

🙂💜

[@melvinpettersson]

what do you edit with?

[@brianngo3802]

Melvin Pettersson hitfilm express it's free but I think he also uses the pro version both do the exact same thing hitfilm express offers add ons for the pro features I would recommend the starter pack add ons and for images he uses gimp you can watch his video tutorials he's pretty good when it comes to tutorials very thorough😊

[@bluekiwiconsuming4568]

Do you EVER SHOOT ON your PHONE?

[@AidinRobbins]

N o

[@bluekiwiconsuming4568]

Aidin Robbins unfortunately!
