My Perfect Camera Set-Up For Vlogging

[@Havenotats]

I don’t usually make gear related videos but I might make a few more technical videos (editing/gear) in the next few months! What would you like me to talk about?

[@SR-mm2wz]

@@Havenotats would love to see how you get everything to look so smooth! I love that slight subtle dreamy effect.

[@the49thstate_]

Which lens did you use to record the video?

[@Charmedious]

I would love to know which program do you use for editing? And tips!!

[@ashleyplaceres]

Yesss would love to see how you get everything looking so dreamy and how you edit!! Editing is always the roughest part for me 😅

[@Hero_of_Sinnoh]

Can't believe its already been around 6 months since the start of weekly vlogs! Basically become part of the saturday routine. Doing good Tatsuki keep it up!

[@Havenotats]

Thank you ❤️

Thank you ~

really digging your relaxed vibes, mate. your color palette is so soothing to the eyes. keep up the great work!

loved the video + thanks for the shoutout :)

[@Havenotats]

Thank you Ali! You're an inspiration to us all 🌟

[@Sky.H265]

Convincing you to switch to Sony is still my greatest achievement

[@nerucheung]

I'm slowly getting influenced by tatsuki to switch from fuji to sony 💀

[@Sky.H265]

@@nerucheung as someone who also did it haha you should!! The autofocus makes it so worth it

[@Havenotats]

Fuji is great tho, I think Sony was just better for my situation (I need autofocus big time)

[@misterpotato4775]

​@@Havenotatsif you're vlogging by yourself auto focus with tracking helps big time I'm not saying for @Havenotats but also the commentators here. Sony A6700 is a great autofocus in Hybrid body both great for photography and Videography. But if you're mostly vlogging and doing portrait shots ZVE10 Mark ii is also great you can use LUTS straight away for your videos :) and portrait videos r portrait in post production straight away without any modifications needed. Those r some of it mention. But if you want to future proof it or might wanna try photography go for a6700 :)

[@chiaratopia]

i literally just spent a whole day distracted with work watching almost all your videos ! taking notes ✍

[@treyresu]

Been deciding whether to push through with my purchase of a dji osmo pocket 3, and you’ve just convinced me to continue with your friction concept. Small gear is better if it lets you create with ease. Then later I’ll upgrade as needed. Thanks Tatsuki for your amazing and relaxing videos!

[@gielaah]

Just want say your vlogs are so warm and comforting. Thank you for sharing! So inspiring for me to learn and actually go out there speak in front of the camera more 😅🙏

[@Havenotats]

Thank you ~

[@alyannaross]

i just switched to sony from canon!!! cant wait for it to be delivered :") you mentioning its good auto focus & system makes me excited!! my canon's focus sucked LOL

[@Havenotats]

Excited for you!

[@Just_another_jenny]

Great vid!! Thank you for posting this, super useful. Really love the cozy colours and general authentic natural vibe you have in your videos 😄

[@Havenotats]

Thanks ~

[@AnabelQuintanilla]

I would be forever grateful if you made a video explaing how you color grade (if you do) and/or how you write over the videos with that font or others in general (I love that font)

[@IsaacOutdated]

Love your videos man! Had a quick question, do you use any lens filters? ND filters or diffusion filters at all? Keep up the great videos

[@Havenotats]

I use an ND filter but that's all! Everything else is in post ~

[@catnamednat]

@@Havenotats Which ND filter do you use? Do you use it for all your footage for every vlog or just sometimes?

[@ItzSponky]

Loving the choice of camera, A7C II gang!

Yes~

Would really love a video which walks through your vlogging process, really enjoying your videos, hello from the UK!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Love learning of people’s setup. Especially when it looks as good as the quality you produce

[@Havenotats]

Thank you ~

[@jaydenlay]

Love this bro! Inspiring us to tell our stories and come along with yours :)

[@Havenotats]

Thank you ~

[@SaimRehman]

Hey Tatsuki! Love the vlogs!! You mentioned you’ve learned to streamline the process. Could you talk a little more about that and explain how you did it?

[@Havenotats]

Firstly by finding the gear that works for me is streamlining the process, I don't need to think anymore about anything regarding film making gear. Otherwise it would be editing methods & having a few similar traits in my videos :)

[@SaimRehman]

@@Havenotats Oh okay Could you also talk about the editing methods in a video sometime? I would love to know how you manage to film and edit a vlog in a week

[@davidcallow]

Absolute legend - think you for another superb episode

[@nabila.s.h]

I got the sony 10-18mm too! What kind of filter do you use that has minimal vignetting?

[@josshhd]

Great videos as always bro, I started following when I saw your room videos on instagram, love to see the growth in your videos and such an inspiration, also just wondering what lens are you using for this video

[@Havenotats]

Thank you so much ~ Sony 10-18 f/4

[@josshhd]

@@Havenotats any recommendations for alternative to the 10-18f4? Would like the 11mm 1.8 be good?

[@Havenotats]

No problem ~

[@MoonNewin]

I’m intrigued by your style (:

[@M.A.D.C.J]

We have the same camera! :) But I defs need a wider lens for vlogging lol, you just gained a new subscriber!

[@Havenotats]

Thank you ~

[@john.vanzijl]

Was waiting for this one

[@Havenotats]

Yessir ~

[@thirtiesdiaries]

We share pretty much the same principle with shooting vlogs; discreet & compact! One question though : What's the clip-on mic you use when using the DJI microphone, and what's the performance of that? 🙂 I want to get one, but don't know which one to get! Thank you for sharing, and as always, amazing and comforting video..

[@Havenotats]

That is called a Lav mic! You can purchase them off fairly cheap & they just plug into the top of the DJI mic! It essentially lets me bring the microphone closer to my mouth while also recording wirelessly ~ ( I should have talked about it in the vid!)

[@DavidsLittleWorld]

Lovely grading and visual quality! I'm thinking aaaa lot about A7CII as well but I'm scared about the lenses' price later on :D Currently, I shoot and record using a6600, so it's affordable

[@Havenotats]

Ahh that's true ~ Im sure you can make all the same quality videos with the A6600!

[@MikeeRogers]

Super helpful! What lens were you using for these talking heads? Thanks for the tips!

[@Havenotats]

This is the Sigma 24-70 f2.8 (linked in my bio)

[@KillerTacos54]

Fantastic video!!

[@Havenotats]

Thank you ~

[@seanp7848]

Hi Tatsuki! love your videos man, just wondering what video editing software you use or if you can recommend any free video editing softwares?

[@Havenotats]

I use Davinci! It's free to start and if you want some specific tools theres a one off payment!

[@Omar-zx6yl]

Love your work man! would be crazy to run into u in syd at some point!!!

[@Havenotats]

Ahahah thank you ~

[@HighValueEssentials]

Gaku in the cut 👀

[@Havenotats]

🤫

[@brysonsales]

Have you checked out the sigma 10-18mm 2.8? Might be a good upgrade from the Sony 10-18f4

[@Havenotats]

I was considering getting it before purchasing my Sony lens. I think the stabilisation in the Sony lens is more important for me than the extra depth of field in the Sigma ~ I've heard it's a good lens though

[@Inke_Swyzen]

I just found you yesterday I and Immediately started wondering about your vlog set up haha! Btw, I watched the PowerGrades video but I was wondering if I could also reach a similar effect with the cineprint 16 as a LUT since it's a bit cheaper and I'm on a budget...

[@Havenotats]

Thank you ~ Cineprint 16 is a powergrade (not a LUT) so to use this method you will have to purchase the initial powergrade and use it that way. With Cineprint 16 you can modify it to create very different looks so there isn't a LUT that could replicate the look as there are too many varieties :/ Hopefully you can find something that works for you ~

[@SR-mm2wz]

Is there some form of mist filter on this? It looks great.

[@Havenotats]

No mist! Done in post ~

[@Cypheruss]

Hey, you shoot your vlog in auto or manual mode ? ty for your work !

[@Havenotats]

Mostly Manual!

[@riddhimasingh2405]

Tatsukiiiii, please make a video regarding how to vlog ?

[@Havenotats]

Ahahaha maybe in the future ~

[@riddhimasingh2405]

@@Havenotats I’m looking forward to it 🫶

[@DwellonJen]

hi! I also use the sony ecm m1 mic to vlog but my audios sound very muffled a lot of the times :/ especially when I'm outside walking around, it just seems very unnatural and seems to be compressed a lot. I was wondering if that happens to you too??

[@Havenotats]

I'm not too sure why that would be! I have all my settings on auto ~ Sounds silly but it could be the direction of the microphone channel?

[@azazleue]

Have you tried the DJI Pocket 3? I'm thinking of getting that one because of how small it is but idk much about camera. Would love to hear your opinion of that camera.

[@Havenotats]

I have no clue about that camera hahahah

[@kevinfengg]

Hey Tatsuki, do you use any nd filter or pro-mist filter on your lenses?

[@Havenotats]

I don't anymore! If I want to add any glow to my video I do it in post ~

We are so UP

[@nate-b2s]

bro do you have that sure mic plugged directly into your camera?

[@Havenotats]

Connected to my computer!

[@Shocktheworld99]

Do you plug a lavalier mic into the dji mic or just use the mic itself?

[@Havenotats]

I use both! Depending on the situation ~

@tatsuki What fps do you shoot at? 24, 25, 30 or 60 fps?

[@Havenotats]

25!

[@josephyakhnin9118]

How about the Camera bag?

[@Havenotats]

Honestly I use a lot of different random bags. My favourite might be a sling bag from Mont-Bell (not a camera bag though)

[@thebsidevlog]

Hey tatsuki! I’m using a7iv with the 10-18mm and i cant seem to get that fish eye effect (2:47)! how do you do it?

[@Havenotats]

I assume that your camera is auto enabling the crop sensor mode! If you change it in your settings to full sensor mode it will give you the look! ( I toggle this on/off with a custom key on the camera)

[@LostsJourney]

What program do you use to enhance your audio?

[@Havenotats]

Everything is edited in Davinci Resolve (audio included)

[@RodanCan]

Which tool are you using for your subtitles? :)

[@Havenotats]

It's all done in Davinci !

for me that's doing too much ~ I don't want to carry around a gimbal while vlogging haha

[@cagla4717]

@@Havenotats got it ^_^ Like your style btw

[@FineasJackson]

I've tried using the wireless hotshoe with the DJI mic 2 on my zv-e1, and it doesn't allow me to record 32-bit float audio. Only gives a 24-bit option. Are you able to do 32-bit float with the sony mic or are you settling for 24?

[@Havenotats]

True that! I don't record in 32-bit float, maybe in the future If I feel like I need it Ill invest into it though! The Sony mic has pretty good auto settings for microphone gain, i've never really had an issue ~

AHahhaha let's see ~

whats that sound effect at 0:44?

Thanks for the video, I have a question about the camera. Is it necessary to buy a Sony a6700 or rather save up and buy a FF a7cii? Thanks🤌

[@Havenotats]

Up to you bro! you can definitely make great videos with APSC and FF (I used Fuji APSC for most of my videos until recently) Depends if you can afford FF, and/or if you need your camera for darker situations ~

[@anselevg]

@@Havenotats Appreciate it, I think I found the answer, thanks a lot for the videos!
