Felt like stuffing a sock in the US cox mouth. Id loose my concentration and technique with her barking all the way like that. Obviously didnt help the cause they made it look out of sync
I love it and have a new Kessler Baseplate that fits right on the tripod. I do strip down my camera because of the weight when i have to set it up as high as it can go.
The cox rarely makes a difference, as was the case here. GB took an early lead and the US never challenged. In my own experience, coxing is 90% steering. Once the steering is nailed down, there’s not much a cox can do to affect the outcome of a race. I was never big on a lot of cheerleading or counting.
I'm confused by your videos! You go on about sub 6.40. Are you at Duke and went sub 6.40? I'm from Australia. We were all doing sub 6.40s at the end of high school/secondary school (i.e., before college/university). What is the big achievement here!?
Oh wow people are faster than me? I had no idea! It’s almost like I’m celebrating a personal achievement that took me years to overcome! Don’t be mean.
What a spectacle ... says a lot about the relevance of this event US folks come over and show up. Tks for the vid, must have been a tremendous work to edit all together. :-)
Your videos are more evocative of what it means to row, to train, and to compete than anything I have seen. My heart literally races and I am transported, for a few precious moments, to the feeling of being a 20-something year old on the water. This is art. Thank you from an old guy with a deep love of rowing.
It’s really cool to just see glimpses of yourself, your teammates/coaches, people you know and raced just for blips of the video. Seeing the same faces in rowing that defined your highschool rowing career
As a new rower, thank you for this video, it's great to know what to wear when in different conditions. I have loads of cycling gear, so some of those work well for me at the moment.
It's been a hell of a workhorse for me these last three years! I've appreciated all your vlogs and constant drive to crate the smoothest production workflow, building out this rig to be efficient as possible has been fun (Kondor Blue's Nato-Nato mount was a huge win for me too). I almost switched from the Canon R to the Sony A7Siii until the C70 got released... but I'm still constantly pulled to the FX6. I wish I could live without internal ND's and go to the FX3 for size, but the speed I can change lenses is way too useful!
Definitely need two C70's with the same setup just different lenses. When I went to two bodies I never had to change lenses again and boy what a relief. I use the Canon 18-80 and 70-200 ENG lenses. They are my bread and butter on the C70's.
Don't be scared of RED, it's hands down the easiest system I've ever used, the only thing easier is probably the Arri 35. Leave your iso at 800, expose in-between the goal posts with a variable ND and you have a slightly better image. Using it is not the problem, it's losing the autofocus, built-in nd's, and more hard drive space. R3D is amazing in post, I love it, wish I didn't need autofocus as much as I do or else I would still be in the RED ecosystem.
What you might not have realized is I didn't have a 3rd camera to film with since everything was either recording or being built on camera... which means I needed to use my new iPhone 15 Pro with BlackMagic App + Apple LOG as my overhead camera and it worked out pretty damn well!
I can definitely make one of those one day! Though it mainly started from just becoming a huge rowing nerd in high school and college then daily vlogging my rowing life in 2019. I started posting more substantial videos in 2020, which attracted a few rowing companies and teams that have hired and supported me since then.
Nice video! I'm curious: I just find out you, so I don't know if you already talked about it! but, given that you use the C70 with a modest big rig, ever tryed the R5C? I use it with a similar rig, only 1 more usb cable to camera. I know exactly what you mean with that "poking" battery, and do the same with smallrig 99wh battery and it's very comfy. ciao
Cheers Daniele! I have tried the R5C and it's a really solid camera and would be a perfect downsizing of my C70 + R6 Mark II combo.But my only issue is how spoiled I've become with the internal ND filters and re-mappable camera buttons that going back just doesn't seem possible for me anymore. I would love to use my SmallRig 99wh batteries, but I haven't been able to find the right mounting solution for me. If I find that AND a USB-C charged Canon BPA30 battery, we might be in business!
