have an FX3 and an FX6, but sometimes I rent a Red camera for certain projects (mostly the KX), and I'm in love with this camera! However, it’s not for everyone... If you do weddings and low-budget corporate videos, I don’t think you need this camera at all! And the image quality is not, as you said, "almost identical to the Sony"; it’s definitely much, much better! I love my Sonys for run-and-gun projects, but the KX is something else entirely; it’s not even in the same league... And I’m not that bothered by the longer boot-up time because, even with my Sonys, I rarely turn them off during a shoot.
Thanks man! That's what I love about the 5K resolution is being able to punch in and not lose quality. Also it was like 95 degrees here the entire day and the camera never overheated or glitched once! So sick.
It varies since I use the physical aperture ring on the lens to get correct exposure with the Ember. In a controlled lighting environment I'd probably be at T3 or 5.6.
My Cayman has similar battery but when the hood is up the hood light comes on. I hate to burn out the hood light to truckle charge the battery. ALso will the hood light being on negate the trickle charge? I wonder if better to disconnect the battery or trickle charge with hood light on?
Phew!! I bought the ZV-E1, and really had buyers remorse thinking that i do vlogs and dont need all this firepower and i will be fine with a apsc a6700, but now i think i will stick to my full frame ZV-E1 ❤
OK - mistakes 1) don't take the gasket off the filter ( and he ended up wiping all the oil off the side contacting the engine) 2) don't tighten the filter with an oil filter wrench, it should be tighten by hand
As you can see at 1:50, that part of the pontoon sits underwater so we weren't as concerned with making that area perfect. Also, since that part sits underwater all summer, the build-up is much thicker, so it would take 2 or 3 more coats to clean up, especially since we haven't cleaned them in 5+ years at all. We used it again at the beginning of this summer and were happy with the results.
I had the v1 version back then - and returned it after 2 weeks. The drive belt (rubber) was rounded in shape due to being stored in a constant position around the drive axle - and every time you drove, when this curve in the belt came to the gear, there were incredibly annoying jerks in the picture.
I don't think sponsored showcases are a problem, but a sponsored video or even a video where the reviewer gets to keep the hardware (surprisingly uncommon outside of sponsorship deals) should be looked at very skeptically. As someone that works for a tech website that often gets review hardware from manufacturers (which often also gets very negative reviews lol), most manufacturers understand that even a fairly negative review is publicity and will lead to some sales. They don't just remove you from a product list for no reason, although there are cases of it happening. Besides, there are other ways to get a product - some of our review stuff comes from retailers for example - so anyone that puts their relationship with a company ahead of their integrity is not only an idiot but also deserves no trust.
I don't think it's fair to include gerald undone in this argument. He doesn't say everything is the best new thing, he does real tests where his personal feelings aren't really relevant, he tries to tell you who each product is for and who it's NOT for. The smartest creators realize that TRUST is their most valuable asset, and they won't trade it for a singular relationship. Also good creators clarify if its a review or just a " I'm going to show you how I use this product". With the DJI follow focus pro came out, Full Time Filmmaker posted a " review" that was 100% NOT a review, and won't watch another one of their videos.
Came from Reddit, Great video and fully agree 👍 tbh I stopped watching these types of YTers a while back, the need to buy the latest and greatest thing is boring. These guys act as if everyone has unlimited funds to buy everything.
100% agree. I did a similar video to this with similar points ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rg2UFOkdX2g.htmlsi=C2ESqD4ysE8f0IHr Those hacks have ruined RU-vid but I suppose it's just late stage capitalism. I dont make camera related videos anymore because I hate these ad creators and the audience. People just want to be dumb and I refuse to make videos for a genre with no self respect/dignity. The whole thing is just a shopping addiction. Now I make videos to save memories, share an interest and a maybe get some aesthetic shots here and there.
I watched about 30 videos about the Insta 360 X3 before deciding to buy one to replace my GoPro. Not a single review properly addressed the major issue that there's no effective way to protect the two lenses. The sticky lens guard has a number of issues, and the premium lens case that encompasses the whole top has its own separate issues. It's something everyone will learn very quickly, but no one dared to mention it in their reviews. Plus, the quality is really subpar relative to GoPro and other competition. The reviewers will mention the 360 5.7k resolution, SOME reviewers will go a step further to tell you that when you reframe the shot in post, it's really just 1080, but none of the reviews talk about how low-quality that 1080p looks, and how you'll never want to punch in any further like you can get away with on other action cams.
RU-vidrs, I believe, are legally obligated to disclose either in the description, and I think in the video itself whether they received the product for free or were paid to produce the video
Out of curiosity, did you try the new DJI LIDAR system or just the previous one on the Ronin 4D? Going by the specs, the new one has around 75% more ranging points, twice the range, and likely has updated software for the new hardware. I think it’s fair to assume that it may be capable of performing better than the 4D. It seems like it has a few quirks based on the reviews I’ve watched, but overall it sounds fairly decent; and it’s certainly not exactly the same as the previous system. I’m not looking to offer a general defense of DJI or RU-vid reviews by this; I just thought it was worth pointing out the possibility that the reviewers’ experiences may actually be different on the new system. I do think it’s a good idea to take initial product coverage and reviews with a grain of salt, though. Apart from any potential bias, reviewers have a limited amount of time with a product before they have to share their conclusions, and sometimes they miss issues or don’t appreciate the impact these issues have in real world use. When I can, I like waiting for long term reviews to come out from both the established reviewers and regular users. I’m interested in the new LIDAR system, but there’s no way I’m buying it on day one. I’m going to wait at least a few months so the early adopters can beta test the product for me and watch if any firmware updates come out that improve it. Buying it now would be too much of a gamble for $1000.
Absolutely agree… whatever you wanna buy, they say is the best product… Channel Camera Conspiracies seems to me be very onest and objectives. I can Recommend that one.
Reminds me of when LTT did their video on VHS tapes and promoted inflation and DigitalFAQ, when VHS Decode been a thing for 4 years now FM RF archival for a decade all open source all highly flexible. Same goes for potato jet using an easycrap when he has multiple thousands and actual recorders that was a clear sponsorship. RU-vidrs and channels, are practically just advertising platforms and lacking in basic or long term research into subjects it's incredibly disgusting. The only real RU-vidrs I like these days are Cranky Cameraman real honest information.
This is one of my biggest annoyances in the camera youtube world. Every new release is the best camera ever made and flawless even if "no money changed hands" or "I don't get to keep the camera". It's nearly impossible to get a good true review of a products pros and cons anymore. I don't think these companies realize that a negative review or a critique isn't a bad thing. Someone saying "this product has Y con and X pro" allows a buyer to decide if that product works for them. A con for some isn't a con for all, and a pro for some isn't a pro for all. I bought an Insta 360 GO 2 based on how good the reviews were and when I got it, it downright sucked. The files took forever to transfer to my phone, the image quality was worse than pretty much every phone in the last 10-12 years and the battery life was garbage. If it had been advertised correctly, as a device that sacrifices quality for compactness, and gave some good use-cases for it, I probably would have been much more satisfied with it.
Well, this video makes good points but you blew the best point by using Gerald Undones line. He says in your video "Sony LENT me this camera, no money changed hands..." and you cut of the rest, where he says ".. and I return it after the review". He still gets views through the relationship. But this is IMO the only valid way for viewers to get early information.
Most annoying voice in the world‼️‼️‼️ Your commercials absolutely suck. Ya tried changing, but it still is thee worst voice. No one could listen to that nagging voice all day long. So unprofessional ‼️
The real selling point is RAW. This saves you a lot of time on set, as all you have to worry about is exposure. The rest is exactly the same if you change it on set as in post. This is also insurance, because if you screw up ISO choice or white balance choice - or if things simply change while you're filming - then no problem. Another big one is no CMOS skew - this makes ALL motion look better, and somehow more filmic
I wish I had found this before purchase. All I saw was how great it is. My a6700 has been overheating non stop. It's my first camera outside of my phone. I needed a good camera for work. I have no idea what to do now. I don't know what camera to try. The a6700 was already stretching my budget with glass.
