Sony RX100 VII - Cinematic Wedding Video | IT'S FREAKING AMAZING!! ft. Zhiyun Crane M2

[@paulbourdin5477]

Being profesional as a photographer or a videographer is not about being paid, it is about knowledge, it is about knowing your gears perfectly, and how to interact with your subject during the action... So you did it as a profesional because you have this kind of knowledge...!!! Thanks for sharing your experience!!!

[@illmagnetic]

You pulled up with a Sony and a gimbal. You became that “Uncle Bob” photographers always talk about.

[@asghiasughiqughbqwg]

You're amazing thanks for posting this. It's crazy what can be done with these tiny cameras.

[@markwoollard]

Loved it Jason. For several reasons. You beautifully showed the RX100 VII capabilities, especially on a gimbal. You shot it for free for a good friend--revealing your heart and passion for your craft. You shot it at Hotel Seven4One in Laguna Beach (yes, I recognized the venue). In 2014 I attended a two-day workshop with Rob Bell at Seven4One in Laguna Beach that opened my heart to God. Same year, back in Toronto, I shot my daughter's wedding ("professionally") with an RX100 III--she's very close to my heart. I continue to shoot videos on my Sony A7 III that capture stories of people connecting with a God who loves them.

[@PK-ql5en]

I actually liked that grainy footage. There was something, I don't know, very honest and authentic about it. I know that the standard is this polished ff look but this more of documentary/raw (not perfect) style made me want to watch it till the end.

[@thripper5332]

the thing is, this is not grain, it's digital noise, actual film grain has an organic quality to it, which is why there are film overlays scanned directly from real film to use over digital footage, the noise you get with the digital camera is almost always really bad and artificial

[@jmackultra]

I watched it on my 4K TV and it looked really good. Well done man.

[@lcador9]

Jason, I shoot Nikon D850 and Z7, from 14mm to 600mm, when at home or local assignment but when on personal travel I will have a Sony RX100 VII in one pocket of my photo-jacket and a Sony RX 100 f/1.8 in the other pocket. The M2 comes along in my carry-on. Having both Sony cameras was a cost effective solution that covers most lighting requirements.

[@aCeRahmat]

Awesome final product, obviously video not always bokeh/dof. It is a combination footage, music background and angle of shot. You did it with point and shoot camera. Awesome man 👍👍👍

[@jesseplacencia7589]

Really nice results!

[@RogerClubv]

I'm a big fan. Thanks for posting this video. For months, I have been searching and waiting for someone to post a wedding video shoot using the rx100 vii. I realize the limitation of a point and shoot but it really beats carrying all the gears, especially for those who are not a professionals but still want great quality.

[@AtitAmin]

That low battery in the thumbnail gives me anxiety

[@williehaywood3624]

😂

[@Stvibes]

That grain actually add up a little old vintage vibe of a documentary video style. Love it so much.

[@polmalinowski3967]

i like the full trashcan at 14:27. even in wedding films, life finds its way

[@andrewma9975]

Dude this was the most amazing professional setup! The lighter the better! Love it!

[@jordaniriney]

How do you make the videos at the wedding have a cinema-like color? Do you do it with a program? Or is the camera itself in options?

[@robpoma3874]

Great video Jason! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Incredible features and quality and it fits in your pocket. I have owned mine for a year. Zero regrets!

[@JonathanJacobsMakesVideos]

That RX100 and M2 combo is incredible. I love using mine.

[@GaryJahman]

Nicely done with the end result! I am sure that many couples would love that video as it captures the day and most important the feeling/memory

[@oscarrodriguez8998]

amazing wedding video Jason!

[@pf4773]

Your video was such a special gift to your friend, the groom. I have the Rx100iii and this would be a nice gimbal for it.

[@michaelbruce4756]

The wedding highlight was simply amazing. Sure pro videographers will nit pick with the limitations of the 1 inch sensor but honestly, what client wouldnt be happy with these results.

[@_johnvalentine]

Thanks for the tip on using the 1/4 20 on the side of the M2 and a holder for the camera bottom plate screw!!! Brilliant! I still hate that it’s not permanently attached!

[@dzha15]

Hi! Can you recommend this camera for making apartments design videos for commercial, for social media advertisement and short interviews, filming nature?

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

Honestly what matters is the end product and you deliver.

[@ChristianLawrence]

Great video. What picture profile did you use for the video? I have been really impressed with this cameras results, and its portability for vlogging. Bit disappointed with the low light performance, but still a beast of a camera.

[@jamiecoburn1231]

Beautiful video Jason!

[@swiftdetecting]

Did u film the ceremony in 4k or HD and how long in minutes was it ?

[@7.10carat2]

Hi would you still recommend the a6000 for concert photography? I’m think of buying the a7 but I saw a video saying it’s very slow ?

[@movieman2009]

If you did not have the crane with you how would your results have differed. Can you do this for the friend and still be happy with the results handheld?

[@stans5270]

I'm not a professional. I do good work and have some gear that to the uneducated, makes me look like a pro. ONE day before my wife's friend's daughter got married, my wife volunteered me to shoot their wedding. I told her NOOOOO! I had shot two weddings in the early 90s for friends and it was extremely difficult. There is ZERO redundancy when working alone, and this time there was no difference. I felt like a college football safety playing against the NE Patriots. I got run all over the place and trounced on, not knowing what exactly was about to happen next second. I had no time to pre-check ANYTHING, and just enough to make sure the batteries were charged. I hid my audio recorder & microphone in the flowers at the alter, but the sound level was set too low, and it wasn't like I could stop the ceremony to check the levels. [Not at the rehearsal] I set up 2 GH2s at different angles and an A7s as my primary. The absolute worst part was the bride's brother IS a professional videographer but didn't want to get involved since he was in the wedding party. Afterwards, after 5 hours of editing, I just handed over my videos and photos to the mother, to let her go through the HOURS and HOURS left of editing. Sometimes you have to expect what you paid for.

[@raksh9]

I hope you had a good talk to your wife after this craptacular experience. If we're being really charitable, she probably thought your gear and skills were up to the task, and wanted to give the bride a present of them. At the pessimistic end, she volunTOLD your unpaid work so she could score social points with family friends. Just wondering, does this happen very often? "Oh, it's okay, Stan will do it, won't you, Stan?" Hope that's not the case, man. Sounds like you did a decent job for someone who doesn't shoot professionally. Good thing you handed over the footage to someone else to edit, you don't want to deal with the expectations of a bride and groom for a job you weren't prepared for.

[@stans5270]

@@raksh9 Yeah, I talked to her about it. In the end, there were no winners, but only a "teachable moment". My wife will still attempt to voluntold me, but I will state my reasons against it and she understands. The mother of the bride though... WHOA, she thinks of men as Santa Claus. I pity her husband.

[@raksh9]

@@stans5270 Good work on that part, too, as long as you nip the voluntelling in the bud. I don't know the dynamics of your relationship, but I generally refuse to be voluntold for something on principle. If you want me to do something, ask me first. It's about courtesy and respect. If the third party asks how come you're not doing whatever it is, the words, 'unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding' come in real handy.

[@stans5270]

@@raksh9 I think of it this way, they had a guy that changes his own oil and rotates tires and told him to rebuild an engine [or a transmission]. I gave it the old college try. I spent 4 hours of prep, 6 hours of shooting, and 4 hours of pre-editing and it would have taken me an additional 10-15 hours of editing for a final product and that's what the bride's son does as a professional. She needed to get HIM to do it. Way too much work for an acquaintance.

[@stans5270]

@@raksh9 Yeah me too. In the end, they got the videos, but not a final product. The one thing that I miss is that they never showed me the end product. But I'm not in the position to ask to see it. Another analogy is, I was a surrogate mother and had to give up the baby after it was potty-trained.

[@armando.visuals]

what would be the Canon version of this camera? The G7 mark 3 is not even close to this so is there other camera that would be?

[@DiogoReis]

I've been using the rx line on weddings for years and since the release of the first rx-10 than I got the rx100II and then the rx100III as b cameras and then the rx-10II... Meanwhile I've updated all my gear to sony a7III because my main goal is now photography, have sold all of them, but these cameras are just amazing!

[@ChrisParayno]

Haha you were one of THOSE guest of getting in the way of the paid vendors;-). Fantastic job though! Goes to show you don't need blurry backgrounds, flares, or bokeh. It's all about technique and story.

[@Cinq1]

Great video. I am wondering about using the zv1 for wedding ? What is your opinion about this ?

[@DaveStern2]

dude you are funny! ... always great videos

[@Prinz2United]

Which camera is used to shoot this video

[@JourneymanActor]

I think the final segment came out well. Any couple would love to have that video. 👍

[@jennifermedia6288]

Iike this , did you say Media Villa? whats that?

[@joycallender9155]

Can I setup an auto function for zooming the rx or zv1 cameras with the zhiyun m2?

[@Tunemood]

This shit made me cry, and I just bought this camera and know nothing about cameras, thanks my man!!! You are awesome

[@fpi9361]

My man, you sir are awesome! Great content!

[@swiftdetecting]

also do u use adapter uv filter for it

[@juliaoud2617]

Quick question: Did you have any trouble with the light weight of your camera on this Zhiyun? I have the same camera and just bought the Weebill-S, but because of the weight, the zhiyun is vibrating like crazy :(

[@ChrisMcKiernan]

Great camera...Great video...Great videographer. Were your zoomed shots on the gimbal?

[@djiflyer7577]

I really like to see a video Jason about your editing techniques. :-)

[@HairTransplantNetwork]

Can you do a tutorial on how to use the rx100 as a “cinematic” camera?

[@HosniElmolla]

Hi Jason, have you found a way to take a photo with this setup? zhiyun states that cliccking the record button twice it should take a photo.

[@Emuspaul]

Good you are having fun. The wedding-industrial complex gets out of hand. I just got the RX100vii and will have to try it on my Ronin. And put my heavy full-frame camera on a fluid-head tripod.

[@RawloftheDead]

Such a great video! So you mic"d the speaker? I would think it would be overblown.

[@bmwt4k]

Lmao whaaaat how do you pull this off AND be apart of the groomsmen 🤣🔥

[@bokbokeh]

beautiful!!!!beautiful!!!!beautiful!!!!beautiful!!!!

[@jaikavi5464]

Do you make a cinematic short film only or do your clients ask for a full recording of the ceremony?

[@robstravelsadventures]

This is one of your best video because it took an idea/challenge and put it through the real-world testing. I agree that most people will not even notice the lack of bokeh in the video. I was surprised with the quality of what you were able to capture from the RX100 VII (it is the photo/video-grapher more than the equipment). As for the iPhone wedding, you might be able to use it as either a second/third shooter and mix in the content. Another option might be to attach the iPhone 11 to your main setup (hot/cold shoe?) That way wherever the main camera is point, the iPhone will be capturing the same direction but with maybe the wide lenses...just a thought.

[@Stallzyx]

Great capture and analysis of the camera. I've never owned a gimbal for my 750D Canon camera but picking up a RX100 VII and maybe I'll have to look at this crane one. The final result for the wedding video was awesome and my only feedback would probably be matching the right audio to be the same as the left for the ceremony as I am listening on my phone with its stereo speakers (I'm sure I would be able to tell even more with headphones) that it's more biased to the left side

[@markjob6354]

JASON ! *The Wed Vid is so Kick-Ass Pro man !* I have the MK V, and watching that work makes me want to go out and get a MK VII ! The only thing I can add is the night time footage doesn't really fall apart, it just looks about 1 Stop under exposed. I would take up the brightness every so slightly. I saw no noticable noise in the action.

[@Mraz75]

yes, it is interesting..like your practical usage review of RX100 Vii..

[@henrytepperman5421]

Hey Jason! I'm getting married August 1st 2020. We don't have a videographer because of our small budget. How about a quick trip to Calgary Alberta to shoot our small wedding on an iPhone?! Let me know :D. Love your videos, been following you for some time now. Best wishes

[@file1man]

Bought rx100 vii to use as a web cam using the elgato camlink in 4k video. The camera overheats & shutsdown in 7 to 8 minutes. So it cannot be used as a webcam to stream video gaming with my pc & the elgado camlink . in 1080p, there are black bars on 3 sides of the webcam incert. Again, seems the Rx100vii can not be used with elgato camlink and can not be used for any videos longer than 7 minutes. I have a atmos but have not tried it. Suggestions please, since Im a new user to the RX100vii. Otherwise, any 4k video, even without the elgato webcam, but just regular 4k video, overheats in 5 to 8 minutes. Are there video settings to stop the overheating if the camera is used as a 4k webcam? so as a video camera, we must start and stop it every 4 minutes to avoid overheating and shutdown. So disappointing, help. My auto power off temp was set to high, not standard as you said.

[@mimoreque1805]

Awesome setup. You wont believe what I've produced with the good old a6000 and the sony tripod grip (to stabilize and make rec on/rec off more comfortable... It is my 24/7 carry and I often make video gifts for my closest friends at their parties. I think it is the best possible present. Cheers!

[@aminam8600]

Can you upload some samples?

[@lalrinmawia4929]

The video is nice, Jason. The audio is a bit harsh though. I was wondering, instead of taping the Lavalier mic on the speaker, leaving the H1N1 recorder on the floor somewhere near the speaker will record better audio?

[@WHATSJAXAT]

I've been on the fence about this camera!!! dont have a gd camera as such, but at the same time dont want the big rig setup. We want a camera to shoot gd KZbin videos. do you think this is the camera to go for even tho the price is slightly high !

[@pankbot]

Wow man that turned out really good. Great review and wedding video!

[@justonbrazda3846]

Good job. What picture profile did you use on the rx100?

[@user-zi1wr5vt5c]

thanks for making this. I bought this camera a month ago and haven't had the chance to test it out at a family gathering yet. nice to know the potential of this camera since most reviews are just based on specs and sample footage.

Dope video! I think I’m going to get rid of my mirrorless for this same setup. Looks so simple and easy.

[@JasonVong]

what no way! haha

[@k.o.t.o.n.]

@@JasonVong is it better for vlogging portraits, wildlife and sports, than the g5x mark ii? also do you have info when will the rx100 mark 8 and g5x iii will come out about?

[@Ubberwun]

Is it inconvenient to replace the battery because of the M2 mount plate? I like the concept of the this setup, but it would not be as ideal if I needed to remove plate and rebalance each time I changed the battery. Also I think you can charge the camera from the M2 via the cable

[@francisp5809]

Aloha, nice video on this gimbal and camera setup 🤙 thinking about getting this set up as well😀 question? Are you able to stop/record take pictures-videos from the zhiyun crane m2? Mahalo in advance

[@Azzurro650]

Great job, Jason!👍🏻

[@AdrianBugarin]

Anyone know what mic he connected to the sonyrx100 ?

[@fivezeroniner]

5:45 crane was like... UUUGHH, im dead..🤣

[@ketohack]

there isn't much gimbal movement shots... so probably hand held RX100m7 will do just fine?

[@BrandonColePhotography]

I cant justify the 1200 for this when you can get the 6100 6400 really the 6600 for a few more dollars with interchangeable lenses and not being stuck at 2.8-4 or whatever aperture

[@fireandbloodexotics9807]

Brandon Cole Photography this is prob something you get once you already have one of those bodies lol

[@MrBrettStar]

I went and purchased the a6400 for the same reason but the $$$ are quickly adding up for the extras and I’m thinking why didn’t I just get the rx100.

[@TerryWarfield]

Exactly what I said in a recent YT video of mine. It's a dope little kit, but not really a good deal

[@astigmatik]

Amen. And the video quality of the RX100 is way worse. Most people think it looks great because they watch everything on their smartphones.

[@BrandonColePhotography]

Brett but you get the beauty of adding additional lenses. Longevity and filters. A6400 with sigma 16 1.4 beats this hands down and change lenses when you want to

[@ScottsReviews]

Nice. I have the same setup. I am currently doing comparison with the Sony vs iPhone 11 pro max. So far for sports the Sony wins. Video is very close. Have you had a chance to use the iPhone yet?

[@kdbphotography]

Thank, thank you, thank you! Even in 2023 I am considering purchasing this camera because of its specs. I’m looking for something small and simple to go along with my other gear. Thanks!❤

[@seekingjoynow1722]

Beautiful.

[@JamesNobleMusic]

Awesome man!

[@joeep46]

One of the best videos I have seen on this camera. Thanks man. PS . I get the bokay with my rx100 vii and I'm a newbie.

[@joeep46]

Plus the wedding damn near, damn near mad me cry. Nice job.

[@kno1316]

What cable can you use to charge the rx100 from the crane m2

[@stefpix]

I bought a rx100vii as well. I was hesitant, given the cost but i love it. The intelligent stabilization is amazing too, feels like you can get away without a gimbal for most shots, stills IQ is also very good. You are one of the few that can pronounce bokeh instead of bokay - like latte. Anyway great that you shot at f/9. Tired of shallow depth of field all over the place. I think for low light / bad interior lighting turning footage in in BW or lowering saturation can be a creative workaround. I think you could shoot professional gigs with the RX100VII, maybe 2? Or 1 VII and a VA?

[@Apaolino21]

That turned out amazing!

[@Jameses]

Hi Jason, any advice on further stabilizing the footages from the RX100? I have used the m2 with the rx100v but i still have micro jitters, btw i am editing using premier pro but the warp stabilizer doesn't work in my favor all the time. Appreciate your reply on this. Thanks!

[@PaoloMarasigan]

If you only uploaded separately that wedding video first. People will not think that was shot only in rx7. Then imagine if you uploaded a follow up video explaining that you shot it with that camera.? I think people will go nuts. Good Job!

[@MrCyberSlacker]

Great footage!

[@daveboy1247]

How does the RX100 compare to image Qaulity of the iPhone 11 Pro in Stills and Video.

[@WRPhotography-zx5dv]

Do a review on the new sony ecm-b1m mic.

[@jk5230]

Wait?Is there no overheat issue in 4K?? We are talking about RX100,I use it shoot 4k video always overheating...

[@jk5230]

OK...I'm understand the answer is.."It's mark7",and my is "6".....>.

[@GLYNCURTIS]

Great video from a likeable person! must say the one thing that holds me back from this camera is that the lens is not brighter at least 1.8 would be great.

[@robbyrazzer]

jason my dude, is a video coming up on the new sigma wide angle zoom?

[@technoalah]

Nice video again my friend cheers.

[@olegvorkunov5400]

I do not think you can connect external mic or monitor to RX100 VII when it is on Crane M2 because ports on the side where motor is.

[@JasonVong]

you can with external mic but monitor no. unless you make space and rebalance it.

[@MrRaychard123]

Will this balance a73 with 55 1.8 zies?

[@20DDan]

I'm unsure if you'll reply BUT here goes anyways. Did you ever happen to hook up some rx100 vii to weebill S? I had the crane and returned it because it couldn't handle my cage and microphone gear. Weebill s can BUT I cannot for the life of me hook it up?!?

[@MunirRahool]

I decided to go Smartphone only when it comes to video and photos about 3 years ago - handheld most of the time and yes I always enjoy reactions from about everyone before the event and after. And no I don't shoot weddings, but Lifestyle events, very run and gun, was made fun of during the event but then was highly recommended after the video goes online. Not to mention a lot faster than the hired professionals. Now a lot of people know my work, and with Gimbal things get improved (although my Smooth 4 died on me just in a month of very careful use), so yes I know iPhone shoot will do as great as Sony did, probably better. I don't use iPhone but they did great with the camera so you will nail it.

[@RandyChan13]

Haha so many familiar people in the video!!!

[@onnie1968]

lol @ dancing queen :P Thanx Jason great vid bro

[@dlovisuals]

5 cameras is overkill lol. It blows my mind that a point and shoot can get such get results. First point and shoot camera I owned was a HP “Smart” camera with 5MP lol

[@ChrisParayno]

Actually no not. Depends on they style and how much is in your team.

[@robieibor]

15:10 Jason: You good up there? Still recording? Aii

[@christianhotter]

I like your selection! Best Trader Joe's popcorn choice for sure. Herb & Spices beats plain old olive oil popcorn any day. As far as cameras, I personally would want to go with a camera that could use a prime lens like the a6xxx cameras (still pretty light) for the posed shots. I'd be interested to see if the RX camera could be used as a set and forget for a ceremony.

[@canyonblue737-8]

It's a great little camera but the lack of DOF unfortunately makes even the wonderful cinematic you shared something... less. Your product shots OF the RX100 itself actually pop a lot more than the shots the RX100 took because of this. Don't get me wrong, it still looks great and what a fantastic friend to donate your time and talent to add to the forever record of their wedding but the RX100 while good for B-roll, I'd hate to see it as the main video camera of a wedding.

[@EinzMY]

I think its a good experiment that turns out great because it is not a paid gig. Sony just need to release rx100 vii with 24-70 1.8 - 2.8 lens that gives more shallow dof. Many people will be interested in that camera
