How I Shoot Real Estate VIDEOGRAPHY | Laowa 12mm

[@khalilsk1119]

How did you manage the 12:54 shot haha ? did you step on the sofa ?

[@HuyRebel]

Haha yup!

[@YalmazKrad]

Can you make a video explaining the settings of Ronin s, thank you❤

[@HuyRebel]

Thanks for watching! Id say 16mm is more than wide enough for a big home like this, but the Laowa is a special lens🙌

[@brendanlister883]

This was so good brother, well done, I have the same lens and I love using it

[@v23v]

Great video! Lets say i have budget constraint, which one should i pick between the two? Is it the 12mm or 16mm?

[@danielaston2037]

Thank you Huy for making this video! I love the vibes and how chill the whole experience was!🔥 keep making more real estate vids!

[@skymediavisuals684]

Please share all your settings for the RS3. More about pan deadband settings.

[@martinXY]

Great video, but also great ensuite. Shoutout to whoever (1) put steps up to the bath and (2) put a pullout shower head there - it's a spa bath so having something to wash the suds off standing up is super handy.

[@zenseekerEric]

Hi Huy! I’m a big fan of your content 🤩 How do you stabalize your videos in post to get rid of the small amount of Z axis move that happens when walk? Thanks in advance!

[@CodeBlueMedia]

Hey brother would you mind making a video or letting me know here in regards to what exact settings you use for your RS3 and your A7SIII (Colour Profile etc? Would be incredibly helpful.

[@davidmediaphuquoc7788]

Thanks for sharing , I had the A74 and just buy a new laowa 12mm , had done so much in real estate and looking forward for the video .

[@HuyRebel]

Good choice!

[@johnathonme]

Thanks Huy, love the video and super useful!, loads of good advice!!! I think a better comparison would be against a 16mm or 18mm (full-frame) as I think most real estate professionals watching this would already have glass in that range and be considering to go wider to the Laowa 12mm etc

Thanks for the great review and sharing your process, much appreciated!

[@letstravel485]

Thanks for the video. Looking forward to seeing more real estate videos because you are a true inspiration to me. I hope one day to do real estate videos as well.

[@HuyRebel]

thank you, appreciate that!

[@zenseekerEric]

That was very helpful! Thanks for making this video. I also have the a7s3. Currently my widest lens is a 16-35 f4. After watching your review I think I'll go ahead and purchase the Laowa 12mm

[@magicdesign5604]

Thanks friend. You inspire me to act. A little more and I'm starting ;)

[@photograhy]

When you do these reveal shots do you use joystick on your gimbal or do you twist the gimbal grip? I can't get them to look this smooth, there's always some jaggy footage.

[@HuyRebel]

What gimbal do you use? I never use the joysticks, its a combination of turning the wrist and body while moving forward

[@photograhy]

@@HuyRebel I am using dji ronin RS3 not the pro version. I tried playing with the settings like motor strength etc but nothing worked, there's always this sharp turn every time I do reveal or panning shots. First panning starts smooth and then in the middle of a pan gimbal just jags all of a sudden, and then continues being smooth. It happens even when I do it with joystick, while it's placed on a firm surface like a table. I turned the joystick speed all the way down and it looks perfectly smooth, and then all of a sudden it jags in the middle. It's driving me crazy, I am thinking my gimbal arrived with a defect. Camera is perfectly balanced, and I mean perfectly, and this issue is visible with a laowa lens the most because it's so light I guess.

[@kevinheg8814]

Really nice Video. So great explained. I love your content!

[@Gskedgel77]

When I found this video you saved my week! I just bout the Laowa 12mm f/2.8 and thought I made a big mistake - but after watch your video I was very happy! Thank you. I have a questions though, I am using the RS3 gimbal as well but I seem to get alot of wobble in the side of the vide especially when going through doorways - basically moving forward. Can you tell me what Image stabilization in the camera you are using? Also and details on your gimbal settings? Your footage is amazing and I strive to get something similar to you.

[@EliteAtlantaHomes]

Why not upload in 4k? Would make for a much sharper video

[@onepointeight]

Thanks Bro! You are great!💪

I love this lens, I use thie cine version.

[@DallasHomeCollection]

Just got this lens. Got it on the Sony a7iv. But I noticed vignette in my photos and videos. How do I change that?

[@RohitNaik]

Infinity doesn't mean everything in focus. hyper focal keeps almost everything

[@ErKr-dk8ch]

Thanks for your great Video!!! Can u tell me your stabilization camera settings? (No stabi, Ibis or active) Because I try to find the best settings, but my shots aren‘t smooth like yours ;)

[@d-rose27]

Great video

[@JeepTJWheelin]

I have the Zhiyun Weebil S, Canon M50 with the Laowa 9mm f2.8 lens. And this has been my favorite set up for shooting real estate. However, I can not get the Weebil S to stop panning right and left when I turn corners into a room. I have slowed each panning speed down to 0, did your settings as well in this video, and nothing stops it from panning, ruining the shot! So I turned off the gimbal and just do the usual ninja walk, and the results are still very good. But it would be nice to have this gimbal working properly as it should. Can you do a video on how to correct this?

[@crabsonfire118]

hey :) great video 😍 what you think about the Laowa 10mm f/2.8 ? wouldnt that be too wide ? :D

[@karlweb1]

Great video bro much love What gimbal are you using

[@electricalservicesmaroc]

Great job And by the way what is the best number customer Kelvin you filmed in interior with the daylight.

[@epectase6314]

enjoyed the whole video :) do I use ibis on your camera while filming? thanks a lot

[@HuyRebel]

Standard ibis🙌

[@MrSjeupie]

Never seen somobody perform the ninja walk this quickly, lol Interesting though to have much faster moving shots. Normally - me included - RE is shot much slower. Worth giving it a try if the home is big enough for it…!

[@HuyRebel]

If you see at 1:42 its pretty slow because its slowed down 50%🙌 even at 4:41 in real time speed, its slow enough to understand the space and fast enough for my viewers to keep attention

[@MrSjeupie]

@@HuyRebel yeah I agree. Wasn’t criticizing :) Moreso a ‘note to self’ that I can move much quicker through a space then I do now after seeiing your shot. Do you have the final video somewhere? Would be curious to see it.

[@MyFriendlyPup]

I've been using the m43 version for many years

[@criticaltinker]

I know there's very minimal barrel distortion but are you ok with the perspective distortion? Don't you think making the rooms so much bigger than it really is is not necessarily a good thing?

[@HuyRebel]

On a home this big its not necessarily, but the great thing about having this wide If a lens is that you can always zoom in a bit in post to match a 15mm focal length

[@criticaltinker]

Damnit, now i have gas. I've been thinking about this lens because i wanted to use my Sony A7R5 for RE video but it crops 4k60p. It crops more if I use the active stabilization.

[@MyFriendlyPup]

Sony needs to suck it up and pay Panasonic for in body stabilization patents. The 10% crop reminds me of FCP7 in 2004 with warp stabilizer. Not good. Should be no crop in 2023.

[@toshi4754]

I also shoot with this lens and gimbal combination, and I love the sense of speed! I saw it with great interest. I have subscribed to your channel. thank you.

[@EETSTHECREATOR]

Show us how you speed ramp in ae

[@iboreggio]

Great video! How did you set up for 50fpd?

[@rintonivanwindu4594]

what is your opinion compare to laowa 12-24mm?

[@neilseiffer]

Great video. I just got DJI RS3Pro. In PF mode I notice my Panasonic S1H has a delay when turning my body. Is there a setting to make the gimbal turn the camera as I move left or right in real time? The camera tends to float slower in the direction I want to film.

[@HuyRebel]

Change you ær speed to medium, and use low deadband maybe

[@neilseiffer]

@@HuyRebel Thanks, I will give it a try.

[@ananthums8970]

Which pp ?

[@stevebridge3558]

Hey, brilliant video as always I love your content it’s so helpful to learn moves and separate yourself from the pack!! I shoot on Sony a7iv with the Laowa 9mm zero d, slog3 to +2 on meter. However I feel like my footage is not totally crisp, like you I shoot with it on infinity focus!?

[@HuyRebel]

Thanks! Shoot 4k and try to bring up details in your PP. If its -7, then try -3

[@stevebridge3558]

@@HuyRebel yea I shoot 4k 50fps, did a shoot today and adjusted the focus ring slightly to see if it makes a difference. I was trusting it by putting it bang in the middle of infinity mark but I’ve brought it slightly to the right as a test. Will have a play more in pp with this new footage then

[@hdhomesllc9813]

Do you recommend the 9mm for a crop sensor camera?

[@HuyRebel]

Yes, or a fullframe lens If you later gonna get a fullframe camera

[@JeepTJWheelin]

The Laowa 9mm f2.8 lens is the best lens available for the aps-c. With the crop factor it's 13.5mm full frame equivalent. Plenty wide enough for shooting real estate. This lens is why I and most with this set up will never have to buy a full frame camera and lens, totally unnecessary. I will eventually get a better Canon body, one that performs better in low light with the bigger sensor though.

[@hdhomesllc9813]

@@JeepTJWheelin thanks for your response. I am with you on getting a better low light camera, but for now still happy with my crop sensor. The secret sauce is to use the best lens

Hi. Great content. You never use nd filters on that lens?

[@HuyRebel]

Hi, no i dont need to🙌

[@edi18912]

what about the Samyang 12mm f/2.0 - Sony E its half the cost

Sure, the distortion would bother me the most tho

[@thomaswatts9881]

Is it a full frame lens?

[@HuyRebel]

yess

[@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent]

What f stop are your shooting in to make everything remain in focus?

[@HuyRebel]

3:50

[@orangerecords_studio]

great vid. but I suspect you shoot in 24 fps. You should shoot in 30 in this real estat situasuokn less jitter, smoother .

[@HuyRebel]

I shoot 50p which is perfect for a 25p timeline

[@orangerecords_studio]

that depands. the faster FPS, the lower quality you get, like I said, on movies, you "need" 24 , to g make som distance, with the speed of shutter, meaning you dont ! want realistic. ANd you will be forced to open lense more, at 50 .

[@HuyRebel]

@@orangerecords_studio You wouldnt see the difference between 24 and 25p, but we shoot PAL in europe anyways which is 25 and 50p. You also wouldnt notice the quality difference at all between 25p and 50p. I also get more options on if i want to slow the footage down or keep it real time vs shooting 30p

[@orangerecords_studio]

@@HuyRebel well, I live in NOrway, Europa. I shoot in NTSC, so that I get 23.975 . I shoot a movie int that. you want to go for 24 , not 25, even small differance. I , of courese edited it the porper way in Davince. There is no reason for going 25 . If you want to slow donwn it makes sens, then shoot the clips you plan to slow in 50 .

[@orangerecords_studio]

@@HuyRebel you can imagine, if you shoot a quite still sceen, just som trees hardly moving, no movments, It will not look better, if you shoot in 1000 fps, rather that 24. more "pics" doesn ot make it "bbetter" The slower the shutter, the more light you let in, and you capture more Dynamic range, thats what I am talking about ;) . :) have a nice day .

[@coin777]

3:30 You literally have a scale saying you what's in focus in between the aperture and focus ring,. Learn how to use it 🤣🤣

[@photo2000]

infinity symbol means everything will be in focus... 🤣🤣🤣, no it doesnt!!!

[@brian5651]

What aperture F you are using in shot always?

[@HuyRebel]

its always changing depending on the situation

[@CTcoreytrevor]

"you want to make the room and the house appear larger than it is." This is not only dishonest, but also incorrect, and I can explain why with a very good reason. You have to remember Huy that your video will be accompanied by many photos of the house for sale. The majority of these photos will be very wide angle photos and showing the house very wide to get every detail, and to make the home seem larger. Your video is not supposed to show what the photos show, but in a video. The whole point of a video is to build some emotion for the buyer and get them very interested in the house. You accomplish this with good music and beautiful shots. And the way to make the shots have the most emotion and beauty is not to have them be stretched out really wide. No, they must be more immersive and make the buyer feel like they can imagine themselves in the home. This is never ever accomplished with a 12mm lens. It is too wide, it doesn't look natural to the human eye/brain, and it certainly does not make the buyer feel immersed in the home. You say the lens has no distortion but it absolutely does have distortion. It make the room look bigger than it is, you admit that. So that is accomplished by distorting the image. The lines are vertical at the edges but the image is still squeezed to the left and right to make it wider than it actually is. You are right that a 24mm is not wide enough a lot of the time. That is definitely true, but 12mm is way too wide and only serves to mimic the photos of the house.

[@HuyRebel]

Thanks for your input. I did say you want the room appear larger than it is, but that is mostly on smaller homes where you need a superwide lens for the rooms to not feel cramped. I did mention in the comment somewhere below that the 16mm is more than wide enough for this home. When i say no distortion, im talking about optical distortion, not perspective distortion which you'll naturally get. The image will be squeezed to the left and right anyways on a lens that wide, but atleast the verticals are pretty much straight since this lens is "zero-d". Great thing about this lens is that you can always crop in if its too wide wthout loosing quality since im shooting 4k. I agree that video is less about information, but rather the emotion you try to evoke
