Thanks for the comment & support !

[@MusicFed]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo thanks for the great video. do you find 2-5 stops ND is enough for most situations? also with regards to music, Epidemic allows you keep using music for all videos published while you were a paying subscriber - but what happens if you create a video that the client doesn't want to publish online? maybe a video an agent wants for their clients to see. how is clearance managed in that case?

[@MusicFed]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo I guess the publishing date is the first date when you uploaded the video on your website or any public site?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

​@@MusicFed Pretty sure it'd be fine! They have some other cost options for larger scale commercial work like films but I don't think you'd have any issues with internal projects like that.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@@MusicFed For ND it depends on what you are filming with lens-wise. For f1.2 at 24fps it wouldn't be enough but if you're able to shoot at 60 or 120fps it would be fine. For anything 2.8-5.6 it's usually fine though.

[@gadget_Bob]

Superb video man thanks for taking the time to put that together. I'm new to the real estate world, so this was a great primer... if I may offer a little token of knowledge in return; if that DJI controller of yours has the "C" buttons on the back, the software let's you map a button to deactivate the various vision sensors. I've had feature shoots with an Inspire 2 in the past that required fast (40+ mph), LOW shots a few feet off water, which as I'm sure you know, drones still despise anything reflective. Having the downward and forward sensors on a couple button presses was invaluable. Hope that helps! Cheers!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks! That’s smart I need to do that haha. How’d you like using the inspire 2?

Fantastic tutorial a great learning tool. My only gripe with these types of videos, is that the property being videos is a super luxury one with large interiors and lots of outside space. What about doing one of a basic property where you cannot get all angles externally etc. That said I learnt a lot here. Thanks man.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Good point, that would be helpful to see! Gotta do what you can on those ones and make the best of it. I'll have to do a video on that some time.

[@wearetrackclub]

Love your video style! Super helpful video too 👏

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks!!!

[@JonathanSilva-o8e]

Love the video! Curious what focus settings do you use to maintain a sharpness throughout the frame with motion?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks! Usually just spot focus and I choose an area that will have something mid-distance in the composition in it (ex: lower thirds on the grid usually work to focus on furniture half way across the room) Or just centered if I want something like a fireplace or kitchen to be in focus that I'm directly across from.

[@HomeandYacht]

If you guys want a much simpler setup I’ve been shooting real estate videos for over 3 years and I do about 3-4 properties a day using a canon R6 Mark 2 auto white balance (white priority), clog2, 60fps, aperture 2.8, 1/125 ISO 800. No ND needed just turn up shutter speed outside, no need to change white balance in every room, bump up iso to whatever you need when the room is too dark and use neat video or topaz ai to get rid of noise. I use the rf 15-35 but you can also use the cheap 16mm pancake lens and if you need tight shots just turn on cropped video. I finish most of my properties within 45 min.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks for sharing! Super efficient strategy🤘

[@tonynicolaci3244]

why clog2 and not clog3?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Clog 2 has more dynamic range. The way they labeled them is weird but that’s why only their cinema cameras / raw shooting cameras have the option for clog2.

[@tonynicolaci3244]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo After doing some testing on my R6 Mk1, using Clog v Clog3 I found Clog3 on the R6Mk1 had better dynamic range. It doesnt have Clog2 although I think it did before a firmware update.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@@tonynicolaci3244 Yep! That’s the way to go. You might be able to do Clog2 if you were recording RAW externally but I’m not sure. Clog3 is also great!

Thank you so much Taylor!

[@TimothyBennett]

Great video, thanks for the tips.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks!! No prob

[@Philonic]

I’m wondering why even use the regular camera for outside? You can get all the shots you got with your drone and knock it out way quicker. That’s what I do anyway. You can easily get drone shots at 4-6ft off the ground to simulate a normal camera shot and even use it on the porch (carefully of course). If there’s some reason to use the normal camera that I’m missing, please let me know! Thanks for your videos!!!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Great question! For me it’s because I normally use longer focal lengths (50+) for detail shots / vignettes to make my videos look more artistic. But it just depends on what you want to do & what works for you. If you just want wide shots , drones can cover most things outside and do some really cool movements that would otherwise be impossible to pull off. Check out my most recent video if you want to see some of the types of shots I’m talking about :)

[@Philonic]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo thanks! Detail shots definitely make sense depending on the property/features

[@AddisonCustomHomeMedia]

where did you get your stabilizer arm for your second hand on your gimble?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

It came with the RS3 Pro package when I bought it. I have seen other aftermarket ones though, from brands like SmallRig so you can probably find one that works with your gimbal there.

[@alono4473]

Hey Taylor! Me again bothering so sorry! Which lens friendly budget do you recommend for this kind of videos? A lens that can work good both for wide shots and details shots. Oh and that can shoot nice regular photos 😅

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Anything 16-35 equivalent. What kind of camera do you have ?

[@alono4473]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo Morning! I still don’t have a camera but I’m looking at the Canon EOS R8 that can shoot 4k 60fps. Also, I’m searching for used cameras and lenses to see if I can find a good deal 😅

[@ArcMediaFilms]

Great video thanks for all the tips. Can you always manage in doors without lights?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Some clients need or want lights on but for most purposes I don’t add my own lighting for real estate shoots.

[@ArcMediaFilms]

@ thanks for getting back to me Taylor I have tried some test footage at home using my Sony Fx30 and Sony 11mm lens which is a 16.5mm equivalent. I am encountering a lot of noise even though I am over exposing according to the meter between 1.7 and 2 stops. It’s mainly on dark walls even though I am filming at 2500 its second native ISO. What do you think? I’m trying to keep the iso at its first or second native setting. Thanks Glenn

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@ArcMediaFilms I would just run some tests at different ISOs and see what’s the most usable and try to stick to those while filming. Might also just need to bring the shadows down some depending on how you have it graded.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@ArcMediaFilms also filming at slower frame rates like 24 or 30 help since you can usually use a lower ISO and just do your camera movement slower. (If you’re filming at 60+)

[@ArcMediaFilms]

Hi Taylor thanks I will definitely do that!

[@wildpatagoniafilms16]

Love this post! question: what is your fstop when doing this...? you have a common denominator more or less...? thanks!

Hi I want to use epidemic sound for my real estate videos which one should I sign up for the personal or the commercial ?

Great question. If it’s for clients the commercial plan is what you’d need. If you’re a realtor and it’s your own listings / content for your business the personal plan would work.

[@DecorTours]

I wish you would do a video like this with an iPhone 14 or 13. This way you can tell us what settings to use.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

[@loudandclearmedia]

Great video, man. It's awesome seeing other peoples' workflows. No matter how long you've been doing this, there are always little nuggets to take away by watching someone else do it. Quick gear question...I assume that is the EF 16-35 2.8 on that C70. Is that the speed booster or the regular dumb adapter? I'm just trying to get a sense of how wide you're shooting (the perspective looks great BTW). Thanks!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Speed Booster, Thanks! So 16mm ish equivalent for wides

[@nhuthuynh1773]

awesome video! what is your gimbal settings as far as deadband and speed for PF

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks! I think high deadband settings and slow speeds.

[@KeyImaging]

How do you like the C70 for the real estate workflow? I assume you're using the speed booster? Does it handle low light well? IE 3200-6400 ISO for dark areas of homes?

[@KeyImaging]

I've been shooting RE for 7 years now but I am looking to add either an R5C, C70 or FX3 to my lineup. I currently shoot on an R5 but I cannot stand the shadow noise at higher ISOs. Thanks for any input you may have!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@KeyImaging you’ll definitely get some noise with the c70 at those ISO’s but it’s not too bad like it is on mirrorless when you go too far. Looks more like film grain than just bad digital noise that’s unusable. But based on those I’d think r5c is your best bet investment-wise. Full frame has advantages for real estate & low light. IMO 8k downsampled is probably better for real estate than the more filmic c70 look, too. Also lots more room for cropping and repurposing videos if you do film in 8k which would be handy. But if you’re doing a lot of low light and buying a whole other system Is no big deal the fx3 is great too. Just crazy for low light with the 800 & 12,800 dual native iso. But for me colors are a bit harder to work with & get looking how I want on Sony so it’s not my favorite. I got the c70 not primarily for real estate and it’s been awesome. I use it for my KZbin videos, for corporate work, lifestyle, documentary, brand videos, etc. and it’s been great for everything. Have been super happy with how everything has turned out and I have mostly just shot in mp4. Just probably wouldn’t be my top choice if I was just focused on real estate photos+videos. Let me know if that helps or if there are any other specifics you’re curious about :)

[@KeyImaging]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo I was doing research because I was offered a deal on a BNIB C70 for $4k. I'm still mulling it over. I shot a few houses last week on my BM 6K Pro and it did alright. I think I'm going to hold out to see if anything new drops in the next couple months! R5 and 6k Pro will do for now and maybe I'll snag the C70. Hoping that Canon release a C70 mark ii with CFExpress support since i have so many of those cards already

[@imhorsenaround]

Great video appreciate all the information. Just wondering why for the outside shots you didn’t just use your drone

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Usually I do more variety in focal lengths (like 50+) so it’s just a normal part of my workflow. Since this was a simple example that would have made sense though for only getting wide shots! So fast too

[@Pad13]

I’m trying to decide between the rf 14-35 f4 and the rf 15-35 f2.8. The 14 is smaller, lighter and cheaper but I’m just wondering if there might be a need for the f2.8 in video? I note that you prefer 2.8 but can I get away with the 4 even in low lighting conditions. It gets quite cloudy here in the UK. Also, how wide do you tend to go on your interiors?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

I think it's just personal preference. If you don't care about having 2.8 for lower light situations or for filming / photographing people, you might as well save some money on the f4 lens. I did the same for a 70-200 recently (it was half the price and half the weight too) - And it's been great! I got the 2.8 because I don't have a camera that's amazing in low light so the 2.8 helps and I like the look for RE and other types of projects. For interiors most of the main wide shots are 16 and some are 24. I prefer the look of 24 but if it's for real estate most clients like 16 since you can see how things connect / it makes things seem a little bit bigger.

[@jonvandrunen]

What focal length do you mainly use for interiors?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

On a 16-35 lens, usually 16 for the main wide shots and 24 for medium wide shots. 50 for details usually

[@andrewkunyev5243]

Great video, thank you. I am choosing between Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM and RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM lenses. May I ask your opinion? I see you use EF, is this due to it being f2.8 or any other reasons? Thank you

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks! Short answer: yes both should be good! 2.8 is handy though and I like having the creative flexibility. I got my EF lenses before there were RF lens options otherwise I’d have probably picked RF . If you’re shooting full frame and have no need for EF, RF should be a little faster / sharper / smaller total setup without adapters and everything. But personally I kinda like having the option to have the different adapters and filters behind lenses etc.

Hey Taylor! Awesome video man. I currently shoot listings on the C70 as well. Do you find it to be heavy over time? haha Wondering if the FX3 would be a better option for this line of work. Only down side would be dealing with ND's but I think that is a small price to pay for saving your back.

Nice! I really like it but the fx3 is super easy on a gimbal

What do you think, do I go to ninja mode with the Sony or do I play it with the iPhone?💚💚

Hi, it's me again, I've been watching your video over and over again and I have a question. I just bought my first camera and I'm reading all the theory. Here in Mexico there are no people who make this type of video or there are very few, so I want to start off well and more so with an example like yours! I have a question. In small interiors, is it advisable to always use the 2.8 aperture?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

It's really just a personal choice. If it's bright enough to get a clean shot at a higher aperture and you want more things in focus I would go for it. I have been doing that more lately and like having things sharper. For dark rooms though, 2.8 is usually needed! Hope things are going well :)

[@alangarciafranco3494]

@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo thank You so much!, Right now I’m saving to buy your course. Here in Mexico, it’s really tough in this field because there is NO INSTRUCTOR, everyone just takes their phone and records (at least most of them).

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! You’ll just need to get the bigger VND that works with whichever lens you’re going with. The 15-35 is an amazing lens

[@TancooMedia]

Can you use both an ND filter and circular polarizer filter on your lens at the same time?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

On this video I did but one is in the camera (nd) and one on the lens (polarizer). Kinda complicated having two screw on filters that twist at the same time stacked, but it is possible. I saw some new ones recently come out with both built together , pretty neat! Another note - If you use a faster frame rate (like 60) for exteriors you won’t need vnd too often anyways unless you’re wanting to film lower than f2 and at that point you probably won’t really need a CPL for that kind of shot anyways.

[@TancooMedia]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo thanks for the reply! I see what you’re saying. I’m just getting into RE photography and still need to buy an ND filter & CPL. So you don’t really ever find yourself in scenarios where you need to use both at the same time?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@travis830 Just creative preference. Both are great tools though! If you’re starting with photos I’d go with the CPL for starters :)

[@TancooMedia]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo Sorry, meant to say i'm getting into photos/videos as well

[@saskelee]

do you use image stabilizer in post?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Definitely! I try to get it as smooth as possible in camera but usually end up adding stabilizer to make it a little better in post. My camera doesn't have IBIS or Lens Stabilization so it's usually a little shaky. Less need for it if you have either of those!

[@saskelee]

i use adobe premiere and when i use stablelizer it get wavey and unstable.@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo

[@alangarciafranco3494]

Hello! I've been following you for a while and I can finally buy a camera for these videos, but I'm still undecided, WHICH CAMERA SHOULD I BUY, a7s iii? fx3? R6 mark ii? I saw some videos with the r6 mark ii, but due to the price and my little experience I don't know if the change in quality is very drastic comparing it to the a7s iii and fx3, please HELP :(

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

For video the Sonys are better for sure! A7siii or FX3 same image, just set up a little different. If you’re not getting super into production where you need xlr mics I’d go with the a7siii for the more movable swivel screen and the viewfinder if you do photos ever is great. Have you started yet or are you upgrading?? Big investment 😅

[@highlandvideo5313]

Great video Taylor. Quick question, did you have to re balance the gimbal after taking off the cpl filter?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks! Probably should have a little bit but didn't. It's pretty lightweight and the setup was well under the weight limit for the gimbal so it held it up.

[@alansarpy]

Love your channel bro ! What would you say is a reasonable amount of time for one person To shoot this house video and Flambient style photos in one session for a full shoot of the home ?? Thanks !

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

2-3 Hours if it’s all Daytime 👌

[@bigjer3863]

Are you using the default settings for your gimbal or have you modified them?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

I made all of the speeds as slow as possible to smooth it out but that's all.

[@straitjacketstudios]

Can you provide the link for that 2nd add on handle for your gimbal? Exactly what I need.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! It came with my gimbal (DJI RS3 Pro) I’m not sure you can buy it by itself but maybe possible through DJI

[@SherwinSalamancaREB]

very nice!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks!

[@carlymateos9790]

Are there any videos on lighting setup bts

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

What kind of lighting?

[@NewCompVisuals]

at f2.8 are you racking focus a lot?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Not really, with wide shots it keeps most of it looking pretty in-focus.

[@V1ZNS.]

When do you hold the button and not hold the button? I tried using a gimbal and was confused if I should or should not be holding the button.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

I only hold the trigger when I’m trying to do a perfectly straight shot (forward or sideways) otherwise I like being able to do more fluid motions 👌 hope that helps + makes sense!

[@V1ZNS.]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo thank you so much!

[@brandonbyram]

Taylor, I noticed at the begining of the video you doing the walking up shot of the house. It didn't look like you were trying to "ninja walk" at all so my question is how are you getting rid of the up and down motion of your shot? That is one thing I'm struggling with, Idk if maybe I need to crop the video more and add more stabilization or what.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! I usually add stabilizer in post to help. Also 40-80% speed playback looks smoother too since I was doing the exteriors at 60fps. I think I compensate for steps with my arms (keeping the height pretty consistent) so maybe it just ends up looking different for everyone.

[@EGoldman]

How much of a difference in quality and final product do you really think you would get using an iphone 14 pro?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Pretty different. Mostly in textures being more sharp / digital looking and less natural colors overall. Will have to compare sometime since I haven’t yet with this camera :)

[@petrub27]

yeah, but can you take the gimbal in the carry on when flying?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Yeah, it comes apart so pretty easy to fit in my carry on.

[@PhotoVideoGraphics]

Love it, thank you for the hard work. Very informative, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Do you mind attach a link to the handle, I know i could find it anywhere in amazon, but would like the one you are using, if possible. thank you!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks! I got the rs3 pro combo that came with it but it looks like you smallrig makes the same thing pretty much. (SmallRig Adjustable Handle Sling Handgrip for DJI RS 2 / RSC 2 / RS 3 / RS 3 Pro/RS 3 Mini Gimbal Handheld Stabilizer - 3028) on Amazon. I’m not seeing it anywhere from DJI - pretty weird ! 🤔

[@PhotoVideoGraphics]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo Thank you so very much, I will get one because, it seems very handy and useful to have for filming. I just got into the house, from filming my home (puttting it for sale) and it was painful to hold the roni 2, while mosquitoes where eating me up lol. By the way, love to see your videos, not only very informative and learning a lot from you, real estate filming, but it is nice to see someone so kind, honest and willing to share so much neat stuff. God bless

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@@PhotoVideoGraphics Can totally relate! haha hope the one you get is a good fit for you :)

[@Flokiboys]

@taylorbrownphotovideo will these settings work for the fx3? do u have tutorials on how to shoot with them

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Similar! Check out the description of this video , i listed my go to settings for the fx3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqbWeZqQgaeap8k

[@ericbarkhurst2951]

Add an extra stop of ND with those sunglasses on!!! JK Lol. Ive made the mistake before of leaving my sunglasses on while shooting properties outdoors and had to re-shoot. LOL. Thanks for the Vid!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Ha! Thanks for checking out the vid.

[@Roman_Kulahmetiev]

Hi Taylor, how do u go so smooth? i have dji ronin rs3 pro and i see my steps on my short, but im going like a ninja

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Do you have the settings to slowest? Helps a lot! Also the rest is the walking, slowing down in post, and adding stabilization when needed

[@Roman_Kulahmetiev]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo You mean speed of follow? Its on fastest, okay thanks, ill try out🙏

[@guerrilla_out_doors3214]

your video presets only works for adobe ? just making sure I read your Etsy.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Yes for now! I'll be making some new updated ones for multiple programs though. All my recent videos have been edited with Final Cut.

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

Was wondering what you've been up to the past few weeks (assumed you had some good money making jobs). Good video ... as ALWAYS!!! SWEET camera kit. If you did this for a paying client, would you charge more than $1,500 .... more than $2,000 for it? I see you've gotten your Summer hair do. Cheers, Old [75] Chuck (NE Florida) 🤪

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks! I got a new barber - me. Good call - I have been traveling for work (In Canada and about to go to Houston) Ideally yes, especially for rentals since they would probably use the content indefinitely (for photos/video).

[@samyr.6216]

Is there a reason why you edit your video to be slow motion in post-processing rather than shooting in slow-mo from the start? Which is better?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

It depends on your camera and whether or not shooting in Slow Motion (usually S&Q mode) also records audio. Most don't. So I guess just out of habit I shoot in high frame rates and slow it down in post because I do a lot of projects that might need audio or it might be handy (branded videos, doc style videos, bts, etc). But you're right - for most cases for real estate there's really no need so that might speed up your editing process so go for it if it works for you!

[@JKenpachu]

How are stabilizing after post?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! Slowing things down helps so since I shoot interiors at 30fps I change those to 80% speed on a 24fps timeline, and up to 40% speed for 60fps exteriors. But on top of that adding stabilization in Final Cut (a light amount) makes it even smoother. Or using warp stabilizer if you're in premiere pro.
