The Road to 4K YouTube Videos - Our Camera

[@ej_tech]

Watching this in 2017. Now this camera looks like a bargain compared to what they use now.

[@studiowerkvier6988]

and still up to date.. 14 stops of dynamic range, 12bit...great gear

[@reptilespantoso]

@@studiowerkvier6988 thinking of buying a new-old-stock FS-100 in 2019. "Only" 8-bit output, but 1080p 60fps. I don't need 4K. 4K is for science fiction movies. :-D Interested in why they went with the Tamron lenses. The sony ones are supposedly quite ok (not the kit one).

[@studiowerkvier6988]

@@reptilespantoso FS-100 nice camera and smaller than FS700... 4K just for editing and cropping...i never deliver 4K just 1080p. Sony lenses are good...Kit lense i doubt... I use a Sony 35mm/ 1.8 which deliveres beautiful pictures... costs about 500 new.. apart i use a Sony zoom lense 15-135 i guess with f 4.0... great allround lense... with adapters i use Nikkor 50mm 1.4 which gives a true cinematic style... So with the FS100 you can achieve great content... i dont like REDs..expensive and quality wise not in the same league as ARRI or Panavision...So best option in realistic price segment is Sony and Panasonic in my opinion

[@djjax2641]

They have a red camera now...

Hello

[@minobg79]

I remember few years ago, when you started to make changes, moved away from those "ghetto style" videos and started to shoot in more professional way (remember, when live streams changed to WAN show, you weared those terrible toxic green headphones and the whole sponsor thing started), I thought LTT lost its DNA. I really wasn't happy about it and I even lost my interest for a while. But somehow you made it work and LTT found its new identity. Now when I look back I can only say I was sooooo stupid! Now I can see what was your goal and how it moved the channel to whole new level. You guys are doing amazing work, keep up and don't lose your passion for it, the passion is everything. I wish you the best of luck!

[@LinusTechTips]

Thanks for sticking with us. We never get it right on the first try but we always eventually fix it :p

[@stefanschmidt1725]

No, often they can keep them.

[@Ishmenikka777]

Damn Linus I didn't know you did all this for us. My respect for you went up a whole lot. And the team double thumbs up for all of you. I've been watching you all throughout highschool into my military career and now that I'm home and a new father. Keep it up :)

[@xXBurntBaconXx]

Linus most youtube videos are recorded with a DSLR and a random mic thrown ontop. You guys have a setup most small TV studios would use! holy shit!

[@Heikki360ES]

I think you should upload your videos at 60 fps. Everyone onws a 60+hz screen. Not so many has a 4K resolution TV :(

[@anzeg-]

There's really not a lot of point in doing 60FPS on a review video with so little movement. It would just make files crazy massive and hard to edit for very little gain. 4K is a much better option now that the monitors for it are getting in a decent price range

[@JusttAlf]

Anze G Hard to edit? I really doubt that it would be any harder against 4K... But yeah, 60 FPS live action footage? Sign me in!

[@kancheongspidergaming]

If you record 60fps videos its file size is 3x higher than a 30fps file, 30fps is a good framerate for editing flexibility.

[@Ben_Rayner]

aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnddddddddddddddddddddd you can downsample to make it look wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better

[@Tonberry705]

[@dauun8175]

i love how people are commenting saying their phone can record 4k without looking at the date of the video

[@Henry-pi4ui]

Lol But I am waiting this when he purchase 12k Video camera..

[@Cesar-pq2ck]

It’s because they don’t understand what this camera actually can do.

[@Pasi123]

There was 4K capable phones when this video was released. But obviously the quality wouldn't be anywhere near as good as on the FS700

[@TechnoBabble]

And yet the best smartphone camera, even now in 2021, is still light years behind an FS700 in terms of actual video quality.

[@nielsreiziger4850]

its good to see your company grow linus. for me you make the best tech info videos on the internet. bring on the 4k!

[@zeronxepher]

Stick with 24fps for that film aspect. These 60fps obsessed gamers just don't understand that product reviews aren't like action games. Save your hard drive space, make your workflow easier.

[@RetroSmoo]

it only looks good at that low fps because of motion blur

[@amshermansen]

***** That's a bit of a self-defeating argument. A lot of their reviews actually INCLUDE video game footage. And for those 60fps is definitely warranted.

[@ParasiteXX]

No... 24fps is crap on 60hz screens, and requires interpolation to reduce judder. At the very least it should be 30fps.

[@dimitriid]

You are right that it might not be that useful for them right now but must you be that harsh? After all a lot of the time they are shooting video of equipment designed to be used for 60 FPS gaming and if the video will include any footage (Something I'd like to see more of) then it would definitely be improved greatly by new 60 FPS video on youtube I mean I get your points, I really do, but gaming is a very popular medium, more so than even movies now when it comes to entertainment, the paradigms of video will change as more gamers grow up and people will start feeling more comfortable with 60 FPS there's no need for it right now but that's sort of like preparing for 4k which is the point of the video: You gotta know what it's coming and be ready.

[@megarafjogos]

even with games, soo much time spent in rendering and uploading at 60 fps. For me 1080p 30 fps is good enough for youtube videos.

[@Unrealbr]

I can't belive it's been 3 years already that I'm a sub! Amazing evolution Linus, keep up that amazing work!!!! And Gratz for all your achievements!

[@Nick-N]

I still remember seeing first 720p TV about 15 years ago going for 4000$+. Now you can get 1080p TV for less than 400$. Same will eventually happen to 4K. Currently I find it too expensive to invest in it and quite frankly a bit pointless.

[@wertzaky29]

Im just waiting for oculus, with the screen that close u dont need 4k

[@MartinGuitar4ever]

zack bosn eeeeeh... The closer you are, the higher resolution needed to maintain clarity so.. YES, Oculus, give me 4K.

[@xxstrawberries5833]

I got a lg 4k 50 inch tv for just over $1000. Its not that expensive

[@Nick-N]

[@jasonhunt6509]

Hey Linus I love your videos. I would love to see you do a video about the different ways to make money through youtube, the pros and cons of these different methods and how you were able to create and maintain a sustainable business model through your content creation.

[@ironfist986]

I think it's really good that they care about the viewers so much they want to cater to a small demographic of them who use 4K and says a lot about how much they care about their subscribers and their viewing experience.

[@Ben_Rayner]

Ben R nice name

[@mini-_]

I always watch your video in 4K (on a 1080p monitor) and it legit looks better than 1080p. I hope KZbin will allow more people to uplaod in 60fps (now it's only for some gaming channels)

[@_pennybags6210]

Everyone can use 60fps. I have one video or two with it.

[@OoArkum]

It's because of the youtube transcoding. When you upload a video, the best-looking one in the native resolution, may it be 720p all the way up to 4k. Under the native are down-converted version, that are not as sharp as if you directly uploaded a version of each resolution. Hope it helps to understand better =)

[@amshermansen]

Arkum What you said had nothing to do with Mario's comment though. He likes to watch 4K because it downscales to 1080 quite nicely (higher bitrate) Hell you might even call it supersampling.

[@Sil3ntNo0b]

Better bitrates

[@mini-_]

SpartanSK117 Oh, I didn't know. I thought KZbin enabled it for a few gameplay channels a few days ago. Nice video by the way (watched your newest Warframe video). Arkum It just looks better in 4K (even when downscaled to 1080p on my monitor) It has nothing to do with native res in this case.

[@isopropylyummy]

Awesome, I love seeing this behind the scenes/equipment/history of LMG.

[@mouli570]

Little does this linus in the past know that in the future the company's largest investment would be again on a camera. Red weapon 8k costing 140000 in total

[@JGnLAU8OAWF6]

Well, for video production company it should be the largest investment.

[@jordanabendroth5568]

Well, 2 of them

[@Henry-pi4ui]

And Again 12k

[@GGGAMINGPLAYS]

My feelings were more complicated so I decided to leave a comment. Linus, you have me drooling over here. I am salivating over your cameras and gear. Keep up the great work! BTW, stop messing with Branden.

[@arbiter569]

I use the FS700 professionally, and honestly its a cinema camera for semi professional studios/freelancers. I think you guys should have got like a 5D or something you can actually understand.

[@roseroserose588]

You forget that Linus isn't a camera man, nor has he ever pretended to be. He employs people to do that for him, and they understand the camera just fine. 5D mk II/III might've been fine, but to be honest i'm not sure it could've kept up in the same way (compression etc.)

[@KingdomOfMog1]

i hope you realise there are 2(maybe 3) professional camera men working w/ linus. Probably far above you in terms of experience

[@bassl0va]

Kingdom Of Mog I was going to defend him and say that you shouldn't assume things about people. Then I went and looked at his videos...

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Linus, I am not surprised that you all would need to make upgrades like you have to continue making your content.

[@Ootini4]

I feel bad watching this in 2016 with my Sony a7sii that shoots internal 4K. 2013-14 was a terrible time to upgrade to 4K

[@CJT3X]

right? I have two alpha 7sii cameras, and use a shogun to record 4K longer than 30 minutes XD

[@dylanhu]

Ah, RIP. I have the Sony A6300. It does 4k but to my eye it looks soft.

[@chazlewis8114]

In 2018 the FS700 can shoot 4k at 60fps! Still technologically superior to most of Sony alpha cams!

[@JamesDavisMakes]

It's great that this camera was seen as overkill 9 years and now it's an affordable option for a lot of people

[@Jeffrey_Wong]

"Linus always pushs our gear to its limits"

[@batismul]

4K videos all the way Linus! Thanks for going that route for your channel.

[@ZaKillAlpha]

No mention of the 5 thousand dollar Blackmagic 4k camera. Possibly because it just sits on the shelf.

[@LinusTechTips]

We don't have one. We have the older 2.5k one

[@TheDeathslaw]

LinusTechTips and isn't that used on the wan show to keep the stream quality constant?

[@BlackMarketHumour]

TheDeathslaw The 4k Blackmagic has some strange issues with it, as does the 2.5k. Those cameras are not easily used, as they neglect many of the key features that a shooter would need. I do use the 2.5k BMCC for motion graphics, and in that scenario it's great. However, that is a fairly specific use-case that most people wouldn't ever touch.

[@ZaKillAlpha]

LinusTechTips​ I was wondering about that after I posted that. I couldn't remember which it was from the video a while back.

[@zul]

woaa...this vid was such a turn on.... luv the prices & hardwares shared....thanks Lunis n team... keep it up...

[@pbsmick]

[@mrballbreeder3749]

mirrorid?

[@DoubleYouPee1]

TalesOfWar Well I didn't see any difference between this video and their other video's.. Why even use a FS700 when the GH4 is apparently good enough?

[@Brownboy42069]

DoubleYouPee1 Video quality of the FS700 is better, but the ergonomics of the FS700 are also better for video (outboard controls, better mounting for monitors/recorders/teleprompters, etc). The GH4 is awesome, but the FS700 does have its own advantages.

[@SairesArt]

[@instars2027]

[@mikebald]

I honestly couldn't care less about cameras and/or camera equipment, but I really enjoyed the narrative that Linus used to describe the process in getting to where they are now. Great job!

[@MsMonster128]

[@zeronxepher]

real film guys use 24 because that's all you need :3

[@MsMonster128]

***** yeah i know,4k content is fucking huge,if u follow mkhd in fb you can see the amount of gbs in one vid lol,but i was asking just to be sure,thanks

[@zeronxepher]

MsMonster128 there are already some devices that can shoot raw but I wouldn't count on it over my actual camera. But one can say, the best camera is the camera that is on you.

[@Kevin_Eder]

People complain that it doesn't make sense to get 4K displays because there's no content. Creators produce 4K content and people complain it's a waste because there's not enough people using 4K displays. Yes, 4K is not widely adopted yet but TVs are sub 1000$ and monitors can be had for around 500$. It's realistic for people to start getting into 4K equipment at a greater pace and now the argument of there being a lack of content is the main issue. So really, it's the best time for content creators to start putting out 4K, especially tech channels because being at the forefront in that field is important to being relevant. I would think any channel would benefit from being an early source of 4K content. As people get their new 4K displays they'll turn to creators like LTT so they can take advantage of their new equipment. As 4K grows, creators like LTT, MKBHD, etc. will grow with it. Part of being successful in running a business is catching the upcoming trends not reacting and grabbing whatever is leftover.

[@TharenCandi]

I agree.

[@michaelsteffensen6844]

Why spend so much money to record in 4K when such a tiny percentage (I'd assume) of your viewers even WATCH your videos in 4K? Seems like a bad investment if you ask me.

[@Spectrum184]

Currently

[@DouglasGardnerTV]

the 4k youtube option looks better even tho i dont got a 4k monitor.

[@DudeWazap103]

I watch all youtube videos in the highest resolution available.

[@nikitatetyukhin4587]

because you can downscale 4k to 1080p so it makes it look better rather than filming in native 1080p.

[@Haksdo2]

4K video is a much better investment for these kinds of video's then 3D or higher framerates. Although only few people own a 4K monitor at this point, prices are dropping and the quality and amount of models is increasing fast. And even if there aren't many people who have 4K monitors, there are also those who have 1440P or 1600P screens, even on tablets or phones. Also, due to how KZbin compresses the data, 4K video looks better then 1080P even if you only own a 1080P monitor.

[@JamesBalazs]

You guys have made a lot of changes that have pushed the boundaries of KZbin production. And to be fair, it's been great so far! Just don't go to far and ruin it for yourselves...

[@Raiyan678]

watching this after the red weapon rant is SOOOOOO funny

[@djryan87]

Watching this vid now in 4K on a 1080p screen.. PC and internet connection can handle it no problem, but without a 4K screen it's kinda silly.. But nice too see that you guys are one of the first few that can deliver (tech) content in 4K. I'm not going to upgrade anytime soon, would rather get a 1440p screen than a 4K at the moment.

[@Cesarser004]

Wouldn't it have been cheaper to get a RED camera?

[@Samuelkings]

Red is more expensive

[@Brownboy42069]

Way, way, WAY more expensive. Once you add up the cost of everything else you need to make the cheapest Scarlet functional you're easily looking at investing at least $20,000..

[@kekkonenprkl]

You can get the cheapest RED "brain" (Scarlet) for about 8k. It's just the body. It doesn't do anything by itself. You need to build the RED cameras from parts like a computer. Cheapest RED camera system that can actually shoot something is this Scarlet-X "kit" www.red.com/store/products/scarlet-mx-collection-canon It's almost 14k and the next thing you need would be bigger SSDs, more SSDs, batteries, lenses. You'll end up using 20k *just to get started* for professional quality. Offtopic: The guys that make The Hobbit are using RED Epics. They have 2 RED Epics in one rig (to make it 3D) and i bet those cost at least 150k a rig. And they have few of those rigs... Damn. I read they have 30 Red Epics. And estimated camera gear cost about $2 millions.

[@r3vo830]

I'm wondering how many of your viewers actually benefit from 4k. Any numbers?

[@premiumbright10]

Even if you don't have a 4K monitor, there is a TREMENDOUS increase in quality, even at 1080p if you choose 4k, since the bitrate doubles or triples.

[@sundhaug92]

KZbin also gives 4K video a much higher bitrate, so even at 1080 you're getting an improvement

[@r3vo830]

Haven't noticed a big difference yet, going to pay more attention next time.

[@ElectronicsWizardry]

Also shooting in 4k then down sampling it looks much better

[@TheDeathslaw]

[@tombalf]

Why would you need 60 fps? This is not a game!

[@Zyhmet]

because you can tell the difference. the reason why 60/120 fps is importent in games is because the one who controls the game feels better. That has not much to do with the reason why 60fps gaming footage looks better for the one who only sees it on youtube. (no response time for the watcher)

Zyhmet What you said makes no sense he just said its not a game, 60 fps makes normal scenes look like a soap opera which most people don't like.

[@Zyhmet]

Ronald Kelly that only because normal films are in 24fps and the users are not used to seeing films in 60fps. TalesOfWar yeah most people wont see the difference right away but if it is possible why not? it looks better for those who can see it and when it is a standard then everyone is used to it and can see the difference

[@TurtleFul]

Holy balls !! I CAN'T wait for the whole room watercooling systems video to come out :D

[@Yyous0stupid]

I know that Linus still tries to justify spending this much money on camera gear, but it's just way overkill. Dimitri and Eber from hardwarecanucks use cameras several thousand dollars less than this camera yet they still get better b-roll than anyone else on KZbin (IMHO). More money does not mean better quality. Usually, but not here. It's all about how you use the camera, it's not just about the camera.

[@strikeitonfire]

External monitors are SO crucial for production. Partnered with the viewfinder, external monitors make keeping shots in focus so much easier. While the viewfinder gives the most accurate representation of what you're capturing, it's also a little difficult to tell if you're in focus or not. Love your setup! As a broadcast student, I'm drooling. The muffled audio on the other hand... Is it because of the microphone placement? I've noticed it on and off in a couple other videos, but normally it isn't an issue. Either way, thanks for a little behind the scenes peek at Linus Media Group!

[@andrewperry1819]

normie... show this guy the red camera video...

[@nateofallnatea]

Well done Linus, love your reviews. Been following you for awhile now.

[@notmethods]

video about your 4k camera not in 4k, unsubscribed.

[@amshermansen]

Not Methods Boy did you make a fool of yourself there - 4K is there and running just fine.

[@commenter9703]

Well he can't record it in 4K since his 4K camera is on the table the whole time.

[@amshermansen]

Commenter Uh...yeah he can. Since their other camera does 4K too.

[@m3boi923]

dumbass.

[@SpeeDim]

I'm so pumped for 4K right now!!!!!

[@ManifestGreifing]

Why even upload 4k? Barely anyone even uses 1080p

[@NoCrow]

What? Almost everyone uses 1080p

[@grandtheftautoking99]

NoCrow I think he means most people don't have the Internet bandwidth to watch 1080p, much less 4K

[@NoCrow]

I know what he meant. you can watch 1080p with like 1mbit. not that much. I can watch 1080p on youtube on my phone network. maybe I'm lucky I have 125mbit dl speeds

[@ManifestGreifing]

NoCrow I think you are hahaha. At least for me, I cant watch 1080 without getting buffering every 5 seconds. Time Warner Cable ftwwww

[@WetPig]

Manifest meh my wi-fi is 153mbps EAST EU FOR THE WIN

[@mscar7609]

Love the transparency keep up the good work

[@OMGtehEPICNESSS]

Are you fucking kidding me. You give us 4k videos but there's no fucking point cause theyre still 30fps. I'd rather you upload 1080p 60fps than 4k 30fps.

[@Ophelos1]

Alot of the newer 4k monitors can do 60fps.

[@18aidanme]

You want to see a 60 FPS video with litterally minimal movement and linus just talking? GTFO.

[@amshermansen]

Ophelos It would be more correct to say that only a fraction of 4K monitors have ever been sub-60...

[@oozekip]

They already said in the WAN show that there's no point in them uploading in 60 FPS unless they are doing a benchmarking video of a video game. The reason 60 fps is good for games is because there's no camera adding natural motion blur to smooth it out, whereas in film cameras add motion blur due to the way recording with a camera works (and unlike in games, motion blur in film actually looks good). The only thing that moving to 60 would accomplish for them is far larger file sizes, much more more editing work, and only slightly smoother looking videos.

[@m-copyright]

OMG TEH EPICNESS 60fps for games YES. 60fps for Linus's videos NO.

[@lidge1994]

I think the new lenses were bought solely to take away Brandon and Edzel's source of entertainment, I bet both loved brining up how their great 'their' lenses are!

[@dennisvanhelden9253]

Great video guys, love the T.A.R.D.I.S. in the background!

[@barrycooper8640]

My wife use to fancy you Linus, yet after seeing you in all the glory of 4k she now has changed her mind LOL. She said she can't wait to see Brandon in 4k

[@Zigfud12th]

How awesome are those B6 Countryman lavs, you can get them wet but you just dry them out and they still sound great. Rycote overcovers are great for wearing a lav inside your shirt and being able to move around with less rustling noise as well.

[@SliPsHoTiFc]

Really enjoyed this don't stop making these

[@jonowee]

I remember the comments when the then Dezel, or did everyone call him Diesel; came on board Linus Tech Tips and so many people freaked out about the mics, the lighting, the room, the scripted presentation. I want to thank Edzel for helping LTT spearhead the high standard of production values, and Linus for managing to keep the soul of Linus Media Group videos. Give a few years or even a few months, and people will realise like the shift to 1080P from standard definition, 4K-24/30fps will be more worth it for your content than 1080-2.5K-60fps even for those for can't watch 4K.

[@JonatasAdoM]

It's sad that not everybody is so passionate about quality as you guys.

[@OctaviaAddiction]

FINALLY 4K VIDEOS! I almost never get to watch 4K content :( Thanks Linus

[@AzanTF]

I recently upgraded from a 1080p monitor to a 1440p moniter and im not upgrading again for a while but i do notice a difference in games in 1440p ultra

[@Benjamin-rq1fi]

I really wish I had a 4k monitor now so I could enjoy the fruits of your labor. It's interesting to see the equipment it takes to produce such high quality content.

[@CJT3X]

KZbin 4K is essentially hi bitrate 1080p

[@Benjamin-rq1fi]

Then I wish I had a 4k monitor AND access to their videos before they get uploaded to KZbin haha.

[@idefyu23]

Great to see the behind the scenes stuff.

[@mobibrandon]

awesome video LINUS! THANKS

[@nevada1920]

dude i love all your Work man the best stuff ever hope all is well

[@SergeantPope]

I shoot 1080p at 60Hz on my channel and I honestly think that's the better way to go for atleast 3 years or so. Few have 4k monitors yet, and the majority of 1080p screens support 60Hz. Plus, especially for internet content, 4k may take up too much bandwidth for folks with slower connections and on a data cap. I do like that you're "future-proofing" your equipment though, lol

[@IslandFilmMaker]

Thanks for sharing how your world goes round on the show and in the house! With 4K, it never seems to end and it get expensive real quick! Once you need one thing, you need another, then something else and then again, and again... and so on! That's why I hope you looked at my Ultrawide entry because I need more speed, size, and a great Editing monitor to do my stuff too :) It would be a blast to build a $10K system and mke a video with you Linus!

[@JerryNeutron]

Overkill is a huge understatement lol but these videos are SO much better than the old ones
