What gear did I miss? Roast me in the section below 👇

[@abhranilchoudhury]

mark you forgot the bag.📱📱📱

[@IwasKiddinggg]

Your shoes

[@MihaiiPop]

Bro, what about lighting on set, talking head videos too? PS 📱

[@mitalivekim5368]

Can you share the link to the Bluetooth product that connects with the wireless earphones? and I wonder if there's any delay

[@StarLightDotPhotos]

gaff tape

[@patfase]

Using an FX-9 to shoot a KZbin talking head video is the ultimate film maker flex 😂

[@markbone]

😂

[@dankolle]

Bokeh comes from the Japanese word 暈け (boke) which can be translated as blur, lack of focus, unsharpness​.

[@markbone]

and now you know

[@reedeema]

What about Toneh ?

[@petersuvara]

@@reedeemait’s all about the toneh’s baby.

[@natepotter6911]

correct, but where the vast majority of people miss the meaning is that "bokeh" refers to the QUALITY of the blur (i.e. soft vs hard edges, smooth circle gradient outward, etc). "Bokeh" does NOT mean a blurry background. Therefore, you cannot have "more bokeh", for example.

[@MasonChar]

Would love to see a video of your storage raid system for doc work my friend!

[@Efgdj4922]

When I saw the Artlist sponsor I was really hoping it wouldn’t be another plug for their AI. I’m a voice over artist and know I’m gonna take a hit from this. First it was Daniel Schiffer, then Peter McKinnon, now Mark… every one with an Artlist partnership seems to have been pigeon holed into promoting this AI. I get it. It was probably in their contract but still sucks to see. I get AI can be a great tool, but this particular use of it is diminishing a whole creative sector of real human voice over artists. Love ya Mark and all your content but man I’m sad to see this.

[@markbone]

Just like stock music you’ll see in the long run, those who want the human touch will go for it and still pay for it. Nothing beats a human creating music, or delivering a voice over or writing a script. AI will always just be a bandaid in a pinch.

[@Efgdj4922]

⁠@@markbone I get that for sure. I just wish creators could express that more without having to follow the script Artlist probably provided for them. It just feels forced by everyone instead of giving honest opinion and thoughts on it. But I know these sponsorships help pay the bills. It happens in every industry.

[@breadfan35]

@@markbone That still is killing off many smaller jobs for VO artist trying to make a name. With no projects to cut one's teeth on, there are much less opportunities. Much like Efg I love your work Mark, but seeing this be pushed is disappointing.

[@nikolaskala]

Love your personality and creativity. Keep up with incredible work!

[@benjamin.kelley]

Gosh dang Mark, your audio is always incredibly crisp, clear, and full!

[@markbone]

So cool Mark. Tips and info from an experienced creative like you is so helpful. Thanks and please keep the videos coming! Peace

[@markbone]

Certainly!

[@LealconProduction]

Really great set up man!

[@TheArtofPassionNZ]

Could you do a video on your data storage system. aka your RAID setup please

[@theearlyfew5284]

This was top tier, good stuff brother

[@rodfaircloth35]

15:45 - yes please! Im an editor and would love to see your setup and anything else you could include Thanks Mark, you’re amazing brother

[@JosephFutsum]

Great book! Definitely recommend

[@colemowery]

Why do you like the clicked aperture? The consensus is generally a declicked iris, because it allows for iris pulls, like when going from indoors to outdoors, or smoothly correcting exposure for clouds, for example.

[@christopn]

I'm guessing for the tactile confirmation (and satisfaction.) Threw me too because declicked is the feature always touted for video

[@Wade_Adakai]

Yes let’s see your editing set-up next 🙌🏾

[@dalehobson]

The Ultralight arms are manufactured for underwater photographers/ videographers and can be found at larger underwater camera providers such as Backscatter.

[@Michal_Kedzierski]

Hey Mark, awesome setup! Can you drop a link to that favourite skinny HDMI cable you mention? Thanks!

[@ckhicks]

📱 I love how are you approach these. Always great to see the setup you use without fixating too much on the gear. Also, random note: I wish Pete had talked about the way that Artlist has approached exclusive AI voice actors. Lots of hate on his video but I think you handled it well. I need to check out that book, keep up the great work!

[@motionactivated]

[iPhone emoji] The altg's hit me right this holiday weekend... as I shop for new gear, they show me your walkthrough. +1 on that editing walkthrough.. esp the QNAP

[@joshwhitee]

I definitely went into DV shop with frame grabs of the monitor bracket and they got me sorted from your vid a couple years ago haha🙋‍♂

[@markbone]

Haha love it

[@Tommy_Beal]

cool breakdown man!

[@nicolasvarillon]

Nice one Mark ! The best part might be the fact that you don't have a chapeau on this one 😎📱(Can't wait to see the next features you are working on !!)

[@AlexBjorstorp]

Always love your videos, Mark! I recently stepped up my game on the DJI Mics I already have with a lav from your recent lav audio-video! (or at least I saw it recently 😅). Although I don't shoot Documentary I watch almost all your videos and learn something new every time!

[@trogdor]

📱Awesome! Incredibly helpful with the breakdown and props to the animation of the gear map. But with all this gear, what are you using to pack all this up? Are you tearing it down? Doctor bag? We have to know! Sidenote on the AOD gear: I bought a hat and it is way too small for my head. Can we source a higher quality hat?

[@GURUVISUAL]

NICE EQUIPS YOU INSPIRE ME ALOT.

[@ancledoidoi1102]

Love me some P Scazz! Great series of books tbh

[@TurtleMarathon]

boe-kuh. Also- I geeked when you mentioned the new Sigma lens. So good.

[@drewbdarby]

Curious if you find the Core SWX Nanos to be consistent power wise? Both of mine are the older style with USB-A, and I find that they'll basically sit at "full power" until all of a sudden blinking like they'll die.

[@DaddingAllDay]

Every time I watch a gear video I leave thinking, "Oooo, I need that, and that. Oh and that!"

[@PhillGraaf]

Thanks for that! Great video. Where do you put all your airtags? 🙂 With some items like your passport I feel like it's kind of hard to do that..?

[@harshparmar6919]

thank you so much 🙌

[@bykevinmack]

Mark, what are your thoughts on the 35-150 f2-2.8 for Doc style filmmaking? Not wide enough? @markbone I shoot with the fx3

[@menoadil8404]

hey nice setup, like your vids

[@Jasondeheus]

📱 great video Mark ✊🏼

[@rosetofilms]

AirTags on a keychain holder, attached to the book mark for the win!

JOHN. I FOUND AN IT GUY FOR MY NAS RAID

[@rosetofilms]

@@markbone I really hope that there's a KZbin video being made on this! So many of us have tried to mess with this NAS junk. All the other KZbinrs make it look, so, so easy...

[@marcalfredmaligalig2594]

Hi! @2:45 ish, where do I get one of those shock mounts adapted to 15mm on the other end! :) that part is awesome!

[@markbone]

It’s called VOCAS and it’s made in holland!

[@wxjunkie]

How heavy is your rig Mark and what’s the ratio of handholding it to sticks or other support?

[@tim_meyer]

ah yes another video about some sick gear which i'm as a private filmmaker can't afford right now 😂 thanks Mark!

[@billycrowe4501]

Been watching for a long time, got some pieces of kit that will make certain things SO much easier for your setup and are simple. Hmu happy to share

[@artbreve]

Great stuff, as always! I’m curious why you would sell a clicked aperature vs. de-clicked. Often, I’ll need to make micro-adjustments to the exposure and with a clicked lens you can really notice the jump going from one click to the next…whereas a de-clicked ring lets me feather the adjustment. Also, aren’t you worried about the clicking sound being picked up by the onboard mic? Whatever you’re doing looks and sounds fantastic so maybe it’s no big deal…Thanks for what you do!!

[@markbone]

You can de-click it also

[@_andrewsimmons_]

Do you run in to stabilization issues with the sigma lenses? No OSS on the lens paired with no stabilization in the fx6

[@buh-ruk5441]

Noticed an EVF in a lot of the shots, do have a favorite one?

[@frankebenjamin]

What would be the best audio set up for Beginners?

[@VuPhamRainstorm]

what is the audio bluetooth used on the audio splitter which for wireless headphone ? can I know the brand of have a link, thank you

[@robinprobyn1971]

why would you use the lens in click iris mode , the whole point of them being de clickable is for video use , like cine lenses ???

[@rauldude5698]

What was the product you used to transmit audio to Bluetooth headphones? I’ve been looking for good wireless solutions. Thanks.

[@markbone]

Bose makes that one

[@user-ei1rb6no9j]

nice~!

[@notjustanygeorge]

Hey Mark! What are your thoughts on cine primes/zooms for documentary work?

[@markbone]

i think both have their merit. I find shooting prime makes you a more patient filmmker but zooms are so helpful for the edit when you can get different coverage

[@notjustanygeorge]

@@markbone thanks! That’s really helpful as I’m currently looking at picking up the DZO Catta Ace zoom lens package. Also great video, love seeing what others use out there in the world!

[@rohanbatra69]

[@hotlineoperator]

Is there any practical use for matte box, if not use square ND-filters - I think that matte box is just to impress customers that one use cinema camera.

[@jonhuij]

haha it is wild to use fx3 for vlogging xD

[@QuinnAden]

📱and question, why do you prefer the Sigma over the G Master that you have on your fx3?

[@peterujfalusi2764]

❤ as allways

[@winterkat8693]

hey! i wanna know if the fx6 will survive like a really bad weather. like heavy rain and stuff. i just finished a doc work with my a7siii and the weather was not that bad but my camera was totally wet(monsoon season). So should i consider the fx6 or somethin else for extream cool (like maybe everest base camp cold ) and monsoon rain wet condition? any Ideas guys?

[@markbone]

I have got my fx6 SOAKED many times. It should be good

[@winterkat8693]

@@markbone okay. thankyou.

[@_rhapsodist]

Why don't you use an SDI cable to connect the monitor? (HDMI is laggy..)

[@markbone]

The HDMI is on the inside of the camera when I over sling the monitor so I prefer that form factor

[@alejandrotarangolearns1969]

11:26 rich people problems. Instead of buying one filter, you buy two because a step-up ring gets stuck sometimes 😆

[@yoffe11]

Did you say slog 2? At 11:38

[@arndgronenberg]

It would be great to see how you carry your camera setup, both on set as well as while travelling. IMHO requirements like easy access, lightweight, strong, protective, spacious, easy to carry and easy to stow away are challenging to balance. Oh, and here's an emoji: 📱

[@Tommy_Beal]

Do you find yourself using your FX6 more than your FX9 these days?

[@markbone]

Yes 10000%
