Dude you are the man. I watched another persons channel shot a whole house. Stumbled upon your videos. Went back a re shot the whole house. So underrated you should have a million followers. Amazing. Thanks a million.!!!

Super timely, just picked up the ronin rsc2! Awesome stuff

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

How are you liking it ?? Seems so much better !

[@jg_jgjg]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo loving it so far! The foldable design is cool, and I’ve learned to make the portrait mode work for me. The one quirk I’d say is there is no interchangeable battery. It just goes against my tendency to want to have a backup.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@@jg_jgjg Very cool! Might have to switch!! Does the battery not last as long as the specs say ? (14 hrs) I've never had any issues with my S running out during a shoot and I think its only 10-12.

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo Hi Taylor, I'm in Piemonte, under the Alps. The area is famous for wine and of course food. I've been in real estate for 20 years here but I'm moving into doing video, maybe just video so make a 'road' trip video over with Andrei to help an old guy out. I should be able to help out with accommodation and there'll be plenty of pizza and wine. Richard

[@alanabley525]

Excellent as usual. Many say 1080p is fine for real estate but your's is 4k no? Noticed you're using some pretty high iso settings, 2500. Isn't it noticeable using various settings in a video?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Yes to all!. 1080p is just fine but I do like 4K better for more detail and flexibility for edits. High ISO can produce noisy footage if you go too high, so make sure to test your camera and see what works and what’s too far to get the best results out of it :)

I think so, but it wasn't my favorite. Just personal preference though! Is that what you do?

[@rahulzota9427]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo I tried during my last shoot but the video came out pretty flat and dark. So will require color grading. Not going to use this mode next time..!!

[@noamito]

Love it Taylor! Question about profile... are you shooting log or a built-in profile? I'm always torn between getting very crispy footage or getting a higher dynamic range. In my case, my clients always want to get details of the view (blue sky, sea view), but I'm having a really hard time getting crispy footage when shooting log... thanks for your help! Cheers from the French Riviera.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

I always shoot log! What camera are you using ? Sometimes log is worse than using a flatter picture profile (like neutral with 0 contrast or HLG) on 8 bit Sony footage especially. Must be an awesome location to film in! Would love to see your work.

Hey!! I just use Epidemic Sound and keep up to date on new releases, and when I like certain artists I’ll save them in different folders for different vibes so I’m as ready to go as I can be :) once you find a solid 10-15 you’ll be set for a while!

[@richryanphotography]

Do ever use the joystick on your gimbal or is it all just twist and turn by hand? Great video, great content, thanks for the tip.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks!! Most of the time it’s just the wrist movement / body movement. But for combo moves like parallax +tilt or pan or something like that I use the joystick to dial It in! (On super slow speeds for control)

[@marcusclague2390]

Awesome video :) quick question - when I use the ronin sc and I do a pan, the camera slowly pans the other way to compensate. I noticed yours doesn’t do this… how did you achieve this and what settings do you use? Thanks 😊

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Are you holding the (trigger) ?? When you do that it acts how you’re describing to keep it from rotating. I just have mine in the normal mode where the roll axis is off so the horizon line stays level

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Manual focus? Tips for long shots? I know ninja walk but im shitty ninja.. Im using resolve (for now) and the stabilization isnt that good (or i dont know how to use it).

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Great ideas ! I would use AF unless my camera had bad AF but either way it helps to set it somewhere mid - room so as you move it will stay mostly in focus. Keep it up and you’ll get smoother :) Practicing getting better movements in camera is your best bet.

[@cornerstonedigitalmedia]

Do you bring your own lights for when it gets too dark in a room that's poorly lit?

Not for these kinda of shoots but it’s possible! That’s where Sony cameras are handy with the crazy low light performance.

[@cornerstonedigitalmedia]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo thanks for letting me know! I have the R at the moment (not shooting luxurious homes) so I wondered if I should bring my light panels

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@@cornerstonedigitalmedia Try it out! Never worked great for me for fast shoots tbh. But can work well with something like the aperture 300d or 600d as a bounce fill like a flash would do for photos.

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo thanks a ton! Btw love the content!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks!!! Planning to do a video on that topic when I can make it happen.

[@umiumi2638]

For non detail shots, do you use a higher f stop to keep entire image into focus?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Depends ! If it’s bright yes. Otherwise I use f2.8 most of the time because I like how it looks. Gets most things in focus and adds a little bit of a cinematic feel. If I were using a Sony which can have super clean footage at high ISO I might do it differently though.

[@umiumi2638]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo i have an fx3 and was wondering if i do a higher fstop and up the iso to compensate. I shoot in auto focus and was thinking this can eliminate auto focus problrm when taking longer shots

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@@umiumi2638 Sure ! If you need to. There’s no “one way” to do anything. I’ll always recommend try everything and see what you like, what looks best with your setup, and what types of control you like working with to get the shots you’re imagining. I think it’s ISO 12,800 where FX3/a7siii gets a cleaner image all of a sudden (compared to close isos) so I’d try that out for those scenarios to see what you think. I used it on my course videos and was able to shoot some darker rooms at like f7.1 with clean footage which is crazy! Also sunset at f22 🤯

R6 if you ever want to do video! AF is so much better even if the files are a little smaller you’ll get better shots. I’m shooting a wedding w/ one in a few weeks !

[@AdamAdam-ut7dn]

are you using manual or auto focus ? and where do you focus. Thanks

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! Auto focus (spot focus) mostly bottom right third works well, or touch focus on a spot mid-room where there will be something to focus on as you move. For details just focus on the feature you’re showing.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

You can definitely start with anything and see how it goes. But I’d go for a Sony camera either the a7iv for photo/video. Or the new canon r8 would be a good full frame camera to get going for a while

Haha thanks!! Just the record button :) for photos I’d go with the peak design travel tripod since it’s so light weight. But for video primarily I’d maybe go with a heavier one for stability. I have a manfrotto 190x and it’s been great !

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo Thank you for reply! And what about focus when you trying to do shoot from the corner to corner of the room? In one your video (cant remember which) you had nice room with big windows on the right (straight from the entrance to the room) and bed on the left. You started with focus on the windows and refocus on bed as you are moving or? (and sorry for bad eng :/ )

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@@elboro16 A good safe spot to put the focus point for me is usually on the right Lower third or somewhere around there depending on furniture and everything in the unique room. That way as you move the camera the focus point should be at a similar distance to where you are so in relation to where you are, the whole space will generally keep the same amount of focus. Hope that helps! Hard to explain without visuals 😆

How much would you charge for something like this?

Hey! Lots of variables to consider like usage, project scope, property size, editing needs etc. But for starters 400+ is pretty normal for daytime videos (drone+gimbal work). Good to itemize what all you're doing to make sure its actually profitable and worth it for you 😄

[@A1Bokeh]

Man I wanna know how to get realtor clients

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey!! Definitely one of the harder parts about the photo/video industry. Unfortunately I don't think theres any big "hack" except getting as involved in any industry related things as you possibly can so you can meet potential clients / get referrals / etc. (and cold emailing people with your portfolio). Depending on where your quality of work is, and people skills are it could be quick or could take years to build up clients.. Definitely a long - game type of strategy but once your work + reputation gets out there, it can pile up if you're in a good location for it !

[@rossmcbride589]

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing this. As a photographer/videographer here in the UK you would be required to draw a high spec floorplan, do a virtual tour, photography, video and maybe drone. Carry out 2-3 shoots per day, have it all edited and turned around within 24 hours and you'd make about £100-£150 per property for the effort through an agency. I've been doing this work for about 7 years, still love it but just recently got more involved in video. I really have to get out of agency work.
