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?

[@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 :)

[@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]

[@Havenotats]

[@IsaacApp]

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 ~

[@Treborray]

dope video!! thank you!

[@Havenotats]

Thank you ~

[@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!

[@carlfredrikemrik]

Love the vlogs man, keep em coming! thinking of getting the 10-18 sony lens thanks for the rec

[@Havenotats]

Thank you ~

[@raphaelworotikan]

You inspire me to create! keep going 🤙

[@hotherside]

Beautiful vid as always! The ECM-M1 mic is absolutely fantastic.

[@Havenotats]

Yesssssss ~

[@imjoshhh]

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

[@imjoshhh]

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

[@eammonwong]

SONY FTW 💪💪💪💪💪

[@Havenotats]

Yes bro ~

[@junbimatcha]

wow what a timing thanks for the video!

[@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

[@rrhines1]

thanks so much for the educational/advice content!

[@Havenotats]

No problem ~

[@Naellcom2L]

love your videos, man!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@Havenotats]

Thank you ~

[@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 ~

[@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 ~

[@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!)

[@KillerTacos54]

Fantastic video!!

[@Havenotats]

Thank you ~

[@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)

[@riddhimasingh2405]

Tatsukiiiii, please make a video regarding how to vlog ?

[@Havenotats]

Ahahaha maybe in the future ~

[@riddhimasingh2405]

@@Havenotats I’m looking forward to it 🫶

[@maximemazuel3936]

Nice video man ;) Are you using a font for your titles or drawing them yourself ?

[@Havenotats]

Hand drawn!

[@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 ~

[@BrainRotBehaviour]

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

[@kevinfeng884]

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 ~

[@laylakirkland2591]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Havenotats]

Hehe ~

[@RodanCan]

Which tool are you using for your subtitles? :)

[@Havenotats]

It's all done in Davinci !

[@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

[@shaoweiaw]

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

[@Havenotats]

25!

[@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 ~

[@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)

[@howiewonger]

asmr video next hehe

[@Havenotats]

AHahhaha let's see ~

[@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 ~

[@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)

[@milyisgood]

lovely

[@Cypheruss]

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

[@Havenotats]

Mostly Manual!

[@cagla4717]

What about gimball for steadt shoot?

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

whats that sound effect at 0:44?

It's called a riser I use Epidemic sound for my SFX but I'm sure you can find risers on KZbin!

[@Ansel.g]

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 ~

[@Ansel.g]

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