Sony a6700 Cinematic | Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8

My first Sony a6700 cinematic video test with Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8. Shot in Amsterdam & Haarlem in 4K, 24fps & Cine4. So far I'm loving the versatility of this combination for daytime & low light. All handheld with some post video stabilization.
Music: Ballerina - Yehezkel Raz

Sir, you have inspired me not only to get a camera soon, but to explore filming things, and have fun seeing the beauty in the world. Thank you very much, sincerely.

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thank you so much! That's what I love about filmmaking, it can really open up your eyes..

[@sawgrass7477]

Wow. This is incredible footage. This video just sealed the deal for me and I’m buying an a6700

DUDE this is awesome!! I got this camera a week ago and its arriving tomorrow! I'm so thrilled to use it that I've been watching clips/videos of it online and stumbled across this masterpiece. Well done and good job with these shots, Kudos! oh and greetings from USA!

How has your experience been so far?

[@shueibdahir]

First video i've seen of this cameras footage being graded normally instead of some botchef film emulation or stupid luts. Thank you!

[@jmteo5680]

Been following your stuff since my a6500 days. Thanks for doing this as I am waiting for my a6700 to arrive as well.

[@KaspervanDijk]

That's so cool to hear.. It almost feels like an a6500 users reunion haha

[@jmteo5680]

Always enjoy how you grade your videos and I am also impress with how you are still sticking with cine4 for your grading while many others moved on to hlg, S log3 or S cinetone. 👍👍

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! I'm still figuring out what best suits my workflow and I also thought it would be interesting to use Cine4 so I can compare it well with the a6500. Because I feel that even with Cine4 there's more dynamic range than before.

After looking at many videos who use the term "cinematic" in one way or another, I feel like your footage is worth calling it that! Why? Because you know what you're doing and when to use certain techniques and when not to. Nice work :)

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! They are both great, I just love the small form factor of the a6700.

[@jakob2367]

i love this video! great job! does this lens come with optical stabilization? Or is all of this done in post later on?

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thank you! The lens is not stabilized, but the IBIS of the a6700 is pretty good especially in 'active' mode. Some shots have a little bit of post stabilization.

[@matthijsa]

Prachtige shots zeg

[@KaspervanDijk]

Dankjewel man! 🙌

[@sakukiistala]

Beautiful video! Did you use catalyst browse on post video stabilization?

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! No, just warp stabilizer at 5% for some shots

[@jaymills1720]

How do you like it compared to zv-e1

Hi! nice review✅🍿. I have the a6700 and I can't record in 4K 100p. The camera gives me a message saying that to record at these speeds I need cards higher than v60. I have Sony Tough v90 300mb/s cards. Any help with this?

[@zero-qw6yg]

تعقيم للعين جميل ❤❤❤

[@IDENNISK]

That’s amazing, I’m actually been looking for a camera to do more video, does this camera has a built in stabilisation? What cameras would you recommend?

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! Yes the IBIS is pretty good, but don't expect gimbal like stabilization. Depends on your needs and budget, but I really like the a6700 and find the A7CII very interesting.

[@LucasCaponnetto]

Amazing job bro. Would like to see more ofthis camera, looking forward to purchase it. Any problems with overheating?

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thank you! I have no more overheating issues since I have switched the 'Auto Power OFF temp' to 'High'.

[@TheDIYFilmmaker]

Hi mate, amazing video. What LUT did you use to get these amazing colors? Have a great day!

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! It's graded with a subtle S-curve + a creative Lut (KDX) at 30% opacity.

[@MrKbww]

Beautiful work! How does the A6700 compare handheld video to the A7C? Thanks in advance!

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! I never used an A7C, but from what I have seen the IBIS is similar to the a6500 and the a6700 IBIS is better than the a6500. Don't expect gimbal-like shots while walking though.

Xin chào bạn! Bạn nghĩ thế nào về sony fx30 và a6700?

[@MarlonKingShow]

Some lovely shots there. best "cinematic" video i've seen on A6700 so far :)

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thank you!

[@chr1stianblair]

hi! do you have any tips on using filters for this setup and these types of shots? what filter do you recommend most and when do you find it being useful/unnecessary

[@KaspervanDijk]

I only use an Urth variable ND 2-32 filter in day light to make sure I can use a proper shutter angle.

[@emraszek6894]

Nice one. Do you recommend sigma 18-50mm lens?

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! Yes definitely, it's a really versatile lens for wide shots and close-ups and pretty decent in low light too

[@christinasmith9032]

Hey there! I'm just wondering how you get the sounds of the animals and wind. Do you add it in afterwords?

[@KaspervanDijk]

Hi! Most of the time I add in SFX in post and sometimes it's just the in-camera mic.

[@Bartnick81]

Beautiful, please could you share some knowledge about this camera's IBIS, how usable it is? You've made great job here with post video stabilization, but how much of a crop it was? Is the stabilization much worse when using unstabilized lenses like Sigma?

[@KaspervanDijk]

The IBIS is decent. When I use un-stabilized lenses like the sigma, I generally only have to use warp stabilizer at 1-5%. Which in general results in a crop of only 1 to 2%. The in-camera 'active' stabilization mode results in a 10% crop.

[@Bartnick81]

@@KaspervanDijk thanks!

[@tywang992]

Nice shot! Curious to know if you use any filter for this shooting?

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! Yes, I only used an Urth 2-32 Variable ND filter.

[@Nbuom]

Awesome work - Are you using a lens filter?

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! I used an Urth 2-32 VND filter

[@TimothyCJW]

I have the same setup. But my video is very shaky and I started to think whether I got the wrong lens. What did you do to stabilize the video handheld? Your video looks amazing!

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! You can use 'active' SteadyShot in camera which makes it more stable. Also try using a neck strap to create an extra point of contact while filming. I often use warp stabilizer at 1-10% to stabilize in post.

[@Jasterrrr]

You can also turn off camera IBIS and stabilize it in post with a wonderful free tool called Gyro flow. You can get great results with minimal crop. You have to increase the shutter speed though to get rid of motion blur as much as possible, so it might not be as useful in low light.

[@EverySunrisePH]

How's the ibis of a6700 with a lens that doesnt have stabilization? Nice video!

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! It's much better than a6500 even without 'active', but sometimes it can fight your movements a bit

[@mengyuen9827]

Could you share the video setting?

[@DDHDTV]

Is this footage graded? I love your way of story telling

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! I graded it Premiere Pro

[@LyxElso]

hello, i have the same setup and i find most of my pictures are underexposed, i know the vidéo is about "cinematic" but as you have same setup i was wondering if you have made some pictures test ? i'm coming from sony a6600 so the settings are mostly the same, and i didn't have this "issue" with the a6600.

[@KaspervanDijk]

I did some test photos in manual mode, but didn't notice any underexposing.

[@FabienSurYouTube]

Very beautiful cinematic video! Why using Cine4 ? And what PP did you used ?

Hey again, were you purposefully underexposing/overexposing and then bringing it down/up post shoot? If so I'd love to know how much you r exposure was at. Thanks!

[@KaspervanDijk]

In general I expose "normally" and if possible preserve the highlights.

No, works fine for me. What lens are you using?

[@LuisFernando-wk1df]

Same lens, apparently it wasn't attached correctly lol sorry@@KaspervanDijk

[@shaquillenoeltv]

Great job , how close do you think the zve10 stacks up ?

[@KaspervanDijk]

Thanks! I think the biggest difference is the rolling shutter, stabilization, high frame rate quality and 10 bit color. I think that most people won't notice that much difference in terms of image quality (24fps 4k) though, especially when watching on KZbin. But there are many quality of life improvements as well.

[@shaquillenoeltv]

@@KaspervanDijk Amazing , thanks for responding big fan of your work , I see you shoot in Cine4 when loading into Davinci Resolve what input color space and gamma you use to covert the footage properly?

[@KaspervanDijk]

@@shaquillenoeltv I don't convert Cine4. Only some corrections (WB & exp), S-curve + a creative LUT at 30%

[@Richcaptures]

Hey! Was this standard or active stabilization?

[@KaspervanDijk]

1st scene was active, everything else standard. Active crops in a bit, so I don't use it all the time.
