    Thanks for the note. What camera are you using? Again, I like it be cause it looks stable but not too stable. I think my sony a6500 might have a bit of rolling shutter when I hold it handheld like you are doing in your video.

    Used a D850 i think i also used a Tamron 24-70 with VC and its perfect for shooting handheld, just get used to holding your breath.

    This was the first video we did, it lacks movement so i don't like that much. But in this setup he brought his mic which we plugged to the recorder, same with the guitar. The thing is, we prefer to do it without the mic to look even more acoustic than it already is. Also it was my second day with the Mavic Pro and flew it between some trees and didnt crash it so i got that going for me

    Nice video. Thanks for posting.

    Starting at about 2:05, were you just handholding the camera? Shoulder Rig? Gimbal? I like the natural movement of the camera. It is not OVER stabilized like on a gimbal.

    All handheld, both him and me are just doing this for fun so we try to make it simple, and thanks!

    Could you tell us a bit about your camera set up there? Did you do multiple takes with 1 or 2 cameras and intercut them?

    Sure! Had a D750 on a tripod and was shooting with a D850 handheld, we had 3 takes i think, so i set up the D750 with the tripod on 3 different places on each take and did the same with the D850 and used a 35mm 85mm and 105mm, and placed the recorder next to him he only had to turn his guitar a bit away from the recorder so we could have an almost equal volume on voice and guitar sound.

  3. So i heard about the D850 when it came out, and was willing to pull the trigger on it and sell my a6500 and D800 to cover it and as soon as i read what Andrew wrote about it, it confirmed what i was expecting. Fast forward 3months and i did my first little job with it and really liked what it came out of it, i am still trying to figure out how to get the footage from the mavic pro to look cleaner and softer without becoming too mooshy so excuse that part, but the colors straight from the camera are awesome and the detail on the 120fps are amazing coming from an a6500 this is night and day

    I do like that photos are easier to get from start to shared, while I feel with videos I've got a higher threshold to reach before I feel ok about sharing them. (although approaching my YT channel as just a casual vlog talking to camera helps ease that)

    I personally don't find that accurate, if you want something done right, photo or video, its hard to make. For some people getting a good video out is easy if its hard for you or me it does not make it a hard thing, good content no matter what format it is is hard to create period.

    That's a good approach! With limited resources, one is forced to concentrate. Whenever I see someone take photos in burst mode, I think he/she hasn't understood the first thing about photography. But that's just me. 

    Applicable to video as well. Imagine you have an expensive roll of film in your camera, just a few minutes. Imagine you could not immediately check the recording. Wouldn't this sharpen your senses? 

    I think it actually made me be more patient and only click when i feel i got the photo instead of clicking away and hoping for the best

  6. I was already interested on the D850 and after reading your take on it @Andrew Reid i bought one the day after, only had the chance to shoot photos on it and a small portion of video but i already see the potential it really is an amazing camera! Will try to do a bit of video this weekend. Im really excited because i loved the video coming out of the D800 and D750 so this can only be better! BTW also bought a Tamron 24-70 VC (not the G2)

  7. I currently own a D810 and a D750, the D750 is an all-round camera and i really really love the colours, the D810 is a whole other level of camera regarding resolution & detail, with that being said i would always choose the D750 because i know i can do everything with it and with the D810 there are some things i will struggle with, low light and low light focusing

    Nice work Rodolfo! Loved the shots toward the end where you follow behind you wife/girlfriend, really nice job tracking focus. Did you use a steady cam for that video? What is the bitrate with the hack? 

    Thanks! All shots are handheld but i got lucky with those, warp stabilizer worked really well with these clips. The bitrate hack is a firmware hack that ups the mbps from 24 to 64, only real drawback is you cant playback the videos in the camera, here is a link with more info here http://nikonhacker.com/

    Wow Porto is a beautiful city. I regret not going there now when I was in Portugal! Ahh looked like a bit of Rolling shutter on the train shot. That is too be expected I guess.

    Yeah I thought it was very well done also, not too sure about the backwards part though? But it did come off as different I think. Same O same O can get stale.

    Porto is a really really beautifull place, the architecture the city the people it all makes for a great package, i would gladly live there its full of interesting things. Well the backwards part was just me trying out something different :P

  10. This is a simple clip i did from a vacation to Porto last year, used a D800 (with the bitrate hack) wth 35mm art lens and Samyang 14mm. It really is a simple clip, not that much storyline, just wanted to have fun grading the footage and assembling it to have something to look at thats all. Graded in premiere.

    @Inazuma the D7500 is the only hybrid I'm even remotely interested in after going with the 5D3 with ML Raw. I was clearing space on all of my hard drives for the raw file storage, and peeping at my time with other cameras this past year plus and the D5500 was the only image I found remotely cinematic enough compared to the ML Raw... well the BM stuff looked decent too but I have different issues with them. So why not the D7500... the D500 has stunning 4K and the 7500 should be exactly the same. 

    Did you ever get to use a D800? i think the D5500 has nothing on a D800 for video

    Weddings are a bit different than covering the Summer Olympics. I doubt their D700, which is a fine camera, works out that well for sports. But very few people shoot weddings And sports.  :grimace:

    I have a friend that still shoots weddings on film with his Hassy.  Mostly in B&W. He makes more money than the digital guys around him. But he is a rare bird.

    I used to take my 500CM to weddings too, and once took a Mamiya super 23, but there is no market for that where i live, and its not practical for most types of weddings.

    I made a living doing Video, Photography for a Long time. I did it in a time when technology didn't change very fast, especially on the Photo side. So to be successful I worked harder, smarter than the next guy. And you have to do that today, but you also have the latest and greatest gear or a person like I was will take your job. That is all I am saying, push hard, and buy the best gear you can, that is the Only way you are going to last 40 years doing it in this day and age. There are plenty of replies on this thread that show how few of these jobs are even left! I don't think you can rest of your Laurels, or gear anymore like you could 10 years ago.

    I beg to differ, i shoot weddings, and the guys i 'worship' and really like to look at their work still use the D700, working hard gets you a long way, having the lastest and best gear isn't that important, most people tend to use what they are more confortable with and that allows them to focus on other matters besides the technical ones.

    For how many frames, and how fast can it upload to a computer? And that 4fps might be the shot you miss and it gets. Why do we need any camera better than the Old Nikon F5 was? Because they make better and better cameras, and I guess this Sony IS a better camera LoL. If your livelihood depends on a camera I would be buying the Sony.

    If your livelihood depends on the absolute best gear, than maybe you are doing something wrong. Don't get me wrong, having adequate gear is important, but it doesn't solve everything. If you haven't got a good eye its not the latest camera that's gonna save your ass.

    Nice... Thanks for the LUT free image example. Looks definitely manageable, especially in controlled lighting conditions. Look forward to seeing any video you put together using this color profile.

    Its in the making! hopefully ill have it ready soon
