Canon c100 is cheap now, bought mine for 600 dollars with 18-55, 6 batteries, 2 sd card, and a polariser, bought a glide cam too for 50 bucks all used, all this as a package for 650, the hours on the camera is a mere 356 hours, you don't really need a 4k if you are just starting out and only gonna publish it online cause the standard is 1080p 24fps either way, if one day I need 4k I can just buy atomos ninja and upscale it in process cause this camera is 4k downscaled to have sharp look, all you basically need is skills

I think this can be rolled back further.. you need to be able to see and hear... camera ND - to see in the bright - audio to hear, zoom so see a width of things, prime - to see in the dark - light (even 4 aa batts!) to see when it is black, tripod to see without too much shake. As for cheap primes.. nifty fifty canon, or manual focus used - mintola olympus canon fd nikkor.. $50 .. also I think a shower curtain to modify light.. but you dont need it.

Careful when choosing a wireless system for a lav mic. Analog wireless systems like the Sennheiser G3 (which ARE great, no question!) use different frequency bands, depending on the model. Not every country allows you to use a certain frequency, and fines can be horrendously high (they don't want you interfering with their military radio communication I guess). While it's true that high quality audio gear holds its value, in some cases even decades, a cheap system like the Rode Wireless Go series can be used anywhere in the world because it uses 2.4 GHz. They don't sound nearly as good, and with integrated batteries, they are going to become unuseable at some point, which is wasteful. But they're much easier to operate and use anywhere in the world, so keep that in mind.
@TeddyRumble4 ай бұрын
Here's a better idea. Scrap the wireless, and use a PDR, personal data recorder. Lots of companies make them, but my favorite is the Tascam DR 10L pro. It's not cheap, $238 with the Bluetooth dongle, and 32 bit float. You can monitor recording levels of up to 5 lavs, and no interference, not dropped signals. You can get a DR 10L without the Bluetooth monitoring, and this is what I used for years. It has a dual track, 6 or 12 dB lower, in case your talent starts yelling. They work great, they run 10 hours, set and forget. Deity and Tenacle makes them as well, but Tascam is my favorite. Curtis Judd has a video on it.

You’re right about people telling you all the gear you’ve got to have. But one thing that annoys me is all the people who want to tell me how to shoot it. I shoot in 4k 60p. I’d shoot in 8K if I could afford it. But I need it to show fine details, so the viewer can see how something works without losing track of what just happened. I also need to be able to seamlessly switch between slow motion and regular speed without losing any of the detail and focus. So many people tell you to shoot in 24p vs 30p as if you’re only shooting the type of footage they’re shooting.

Hey ! Really cool ! But if you want to keep your shutter rule, really need an ND or variable one for your zoom. Then for the mic, I’d take an M/S (audio technica Bp4029, I love it). And your advice are really the best : put the money on things you’ll keep ! And lenses, you’ll keep them also ! Better to have a 500$ camera and 5000$ lens than opposite. That’s what I think. And if you want a style lens, just buy some old cheap lenses prime. They’ll give you bokeh, flares and tint that you’d like to build in post with a sigma art ! :) + it goes on a budget more easily I’m not having a lot of docu experiences. But from my professional experience, that’s what I’d tell to my friends :) 😊

I keep coming back to your channel for quality information, so thanks for the work you put in, it really helps. But I have a novice question here. I bought a zv-e10 with Sigma 30 contemporary 1.4 (yeah, that youtube rabbit hole) for shooting interviews and teaching videos (I´m a nurse who started a professional podcast). I discovered that it is cool to shoot video and I´m planning to shoot a mini documentary on a forest firefighter in the near future, so I´m gearing up. Shotgun will be either Videomic pro or Sennheiser MKE 400, whatever comes cheaper second hand. I´m looking at either Zoom H1N, Zoom F2 or Tentacle track E for in body recorder OR a wireless system so you can divide right/left audio channels between shotgun and wireless. How would you approach the audio here? Thanks again for your job. I´m on the waiting list for your future course...Wide-medium-tight!
@LucForsyth Жыл бұрын
Hey man, yeah audio is a tough one. Sounds like a pretty good set up. I've personally never used the F2, but I do own several tentacles. They're super useful, but make sure you have some sort of timecode system otherwise syncing them in post will be horrible! If you're planning to run wireless labs into the H1N and will have to sync anyways, then I'd just go with the tentacle system as then it's one less piece of gear. If you can run a wireless lav into your camera and only have 1 character to deal with, then wireless is easier because it will be embedded on your camera's audio track. Personally I wouldn't use a splitter because I think good stereo audio is essential. Hope that helps a bit!

I saved 3 years for a7siii and 1 year for sony 16-35 gm but it was worth combo. Though i could have grabbed something from apsc line but really wanted to save every penny for something more quality right the way Also the things you said is true. I am literally bought zoom, shotgun mic and recently prime (I went even wider with 20mm) and know I also need something wireless before even watching this. Of course tripod is needed too but I also noticed i use it only 10% of the time lol. And I really miss ballhead on it, probably one of my next purchase will be good tripod becayse mine is cheapo hama one. Which is the best ? I wamt to buy one of the best because I also love to reuse stuff for many years not just buy buy and buy
